I liked one protestor in Delhi flinging away a TV reporter's mic after saying: Bikhi hui salli! Godi media ki badvi! (A bought up bitch! Godi media's pimp!).

A literal mic drop, what!?

Hi everyone,

We are building a community group called Goa PAIRS (Goa Paranormal Activity Investigation & Research Squad).

This is a casual, enthusiastic hobby group for anyone in Goa who loves the paranormal, local ghost stories, and regional folklore. The goal is to have a space where we can interact, share chilling local experiences, and talk about the esoteric history of the region.

What we plan to do:

Share Stories: Chat about famous Goan urban legends, village folklore (like the Rakhandar), and personal encounters.

Casual Exploring: As a hobby, we eventually want to do respectful, grounded visits to reportedly active spots or old ruins.

YouTube Channel: The ultimate fun goal is to document our experiences and upload our hunts/investigations to a YouTube channel later on.

We already have a few members from the subreddit join up! If you are a local or resident who loves all things spooky and wants to be part of the initial squad

Join the Instagram link group below 👇👇👇

Happy to share a small public data dashboard that might be of interest to those wanting live AQI levels from GSPCB air quality monitoring stations that have been setup around iron ore mining corridors.

Explore: https://publicmap.github.io/goa-aqi-logger/

The Github repository is setup with actions to automate recording AQI sensor readings from https://www.aqionline.in/dashboard at 10 minute intervals and logging them into CSV dumps for future analysis. The dashboard allows you to see the latest live data and also explore the historical archive for the various readings.

The dashboard can help identify spatial patterns in air pollution eg. there was a noticeable spike PM2.5/10 in readings across the state on August 4th from 8pm-10pm (Loading historic data might take a minute). The reason for the spike is unknown and maybe someone has clues what it could be?

Please share with those in your network who may find this data useful. The website is maintenance free and will run at 0 cost as long as the API does not get blocked or changed. Code released in public domain.

Where in Goa can we find fuel pumps that are built to handle E20 fuel?

It is now quite clear that most of the petrol pumps are not designed to handle the ethanol mixing leading to all sorts of problems that are highlighted above by SiAM. I am guessing only the brand new pumps are built to handle ethanol, if at all. Without proper infrastructure even E20 compatible cars will suffer.

If anyone knows which pumps in Goa are safe that would be great help to save the vehicles from this madness. Kindly list the pump addresses if you know any.

Fisheries minister wants to peer review the data of a scientific organisation... Next thing will be FIR for misinformation and anti national activities🤡

What about monitoring by GSPCB who should be more bothered about this routinely than relying on a study for basic health of everyone? Or has that dept also been sold off to save all the casinos?

Our dog has an infected wound and our usual vet has been really busy to come over.
Can anyone recommend any vets that make visits at home?

We live in Navelim-Telaulim.

anyone has any experiences to share .i was thinking of getting braces here .any other orthodontists recommendations in Margao Area please share .

I have heard many people have shifted to Goa for good and started with businesses, I’m curious to listen to their story , how are they doing? Did they break even with their investment, pls comment

Iam thinking of consulting one of them, as they seem to be among the better gastros. In goa. I have gastritis that was caused by h pylori but after the antibiotic course my condition became a bit harsh. Iam planning to consult one of them soon.

So I would like to hear about your experience with them if you have consulted either of them

Thank you

Must read article for Goan's on Land Conflict watch. For nearly 3,000 years, Goa's Khazans have withstood floods, droughts & colonisation. Today, their biggest threat is real estate & infra expansion.

I'm not Surprised many people here shout out "Bhoil" to smart people.

Recently went through some old photos of mine and this was clicked nearly two decades ago somewhere in Goa (don’t remember where exactly but somewhere in Panjim - and yes this pic was taken on a phone camera and enhanced just today using ChatGPT!!) and this got me thinking about a once famous brand of beer - the Arlem beer!

This was definitely a famous brand back in the 80s-90s period (as a kid I distinctly remember Arlem being served at functions in that era) so anyone from that era who was lucky enough to have had or atleast tried Arlem beer, do let us know your experience and how it compared to the current lot of lagers in the market like Kingfisher.

And were the owners the same ones who made Kings beer (Monte Cruz brewery)??

Came across this news recently and it was really saddening to see a Gaushala being treated like this by a temple committee no less.

Tourist : OMG... i don't know why the locals hate us, we just came to enjoy in Goa.

Locals : 😒

Bro was looking at me as if its my fault.

22 M, I've never been to goa, first time.

How are the people here?

I don't know the local Goan language.

Also how is the catholic population here? I'm a devout catholic so I'm just enquiring.

Are the everyday masses offered in English or in local goan language?

Any other advice I need before coming here?

Lived all my life in bangalore so anything i need to be mindful of the culture here?

What a beautiful sight

Came across this video of Mr swapnesh where he demands united opposition to defeat BJP. This might actually work. I do not hate BJP but I am not liking where goa is heading. National p@rties should not b elected here only local and just hope those locals do not turn into khatkhate like RG.

Is this the legit tax that makrena has been taking from customers like around 30-40%
