Carpe Diem is an Art and Learning Centre that houses an Art Gallery, Cafe, Art Store and a Ceramic Studio in addition to organising and conducting classes and activities for all ages. From art classes,book readings and pottery to yoga, theatre and music, there is something for everyone. Our in-house garden cafe offers you a range of coffees and teas in addition to shakes, sandwiches, sweet and savoury waffles, wraps, pastries and more. Art exhibitions are held throughout the year, though the wet months usually are a quieter period for the same.

I don't know whether I should be ashamed or proud of this fact, but I have literally been going to Carpe Diem every day for the past 10 days (and plan to keep going until my holidays finish!) Their menu has a lot of non-veg options but, even as a vegetarian (and therefore having substantially less options) I am still absolutely satisfied by their food--not to mention that they also have really good coffee and (non-alcoholic) coolers. Try the watermelon mint cooler, or their cappuccino (with a properly impressive milk foam!) the espresso gelato, the simple but delicious veggie wrap, or the veg momos, or the freshly baked chocolate brownie...heck, just try it all! Their prices are affordable and good care is put into their food quality and presentation. One thing to note: they do not have AC, but their tables are comfortably within reach of the fans and (as someone who has worked there even in the peak of the afternoon heat) it is well worth it! And, to top it all off, this place is way more than just a cafe. They have artisan crafts (pottery, jewelry, textiles, etc.) for sale, you can sign up for a class to learn a new art skill, and they have an entire art gallery on display--free to admire! They've adopted in a number of stray dogs, and have a jar for donations to go towards the animals' needs. Do yourself a favour and go check out, and support, all their amazing initiatives!

Three Kings Chapel overlooks the beautiful south Goa area and Arabian Sea. It's quite lovely and depending on the time of year, you will see lots of fields of vegetables or rice paddies amidst all the other vegetation and palms. The chapel itself was not open (only one day a month I think our guide said), but it was worth the trip. If you are there with a guide, be sure to ask about the ghost stories and the three kings activity/processional each year. It's quite a hike if you walk it so be sure to take water. If you ride a bike, you will likely need one with some electric support, or drive up if in a car. The last part you will have to walk: by taking the rode or by the stairs. If you choose the longer rode option, you are likely to see monkeys, so we recommend that option!

There is a lot to Goa other than the beaches, and during every trip to Goa, my partner, Aprajita, and I have sought to hit trails that're less trodden, or still 'invisible'. So, during the most recent trip - to detox what has been a difficult, terrible year via the pandemic - we decided to look at south Goa and thereby, choose to look at Chandor, with its heritage of pre-Portuguese era, and marked its origins in a way. The highlight of the trip was visiting two heritage houses, from the pre-Portuguese and Portuguese era, as family members in those houses walked us through their family histories, the architectural delights of their homes, the different heirlooms and artefacts, connecting us to the past and linking it to the present.
