Today there will be a culinary post😊 Arriving in Calangute, I immediately went to my favorite cafe "Tibet". The cafe is decorated in the national style, cozy, clean, elegant. And most importantly, there is a great cuisine, although not particularly cheap. My favorite dish there is "Lamb cauliflower" (lamb with cauliflower, carrots, peas, broccoli and very delicious sauce) . I also love "Momo", these are Tibetan dumplings (pelmeni, ravioli) with different stuffing -…

When it gets too hot (for our area), I remember the meeting of the New Year-2006 in the Altai Mountains. We celebrated the New Year at the Seminsky pass, when it was -40 Celsius. Next morning we went to visit our friend. It was -44 and we walked through the winter forest, then walked along the highway. I decided to turn off the road and ... fell almost waist-deep into a snowdrift😂 😂 😂

On my first trip to India, my dream was to try Indian cuisine. And I immediately got into an comical situation😅 The next morning after a night swim, my husband went to rent a motorbike, and my friends and I went to a cafe for breakfast. I asked our experienced friend for advice on what to order. - Biriani. - What is? - Pilaf. Rice and shrimp or chicken. I somehow interpreted his answer in a peculiar way, perhaps I didn't hear the word "Pilaf" and ordered "Rice and Biryani".…

Meeting. Photo on one of the Goan beaches. There are a few more shots with this couple. It was very interesting to watch them. The sun was quietly setting in the sea, peace and quiet in my soul, no thoughts in my head, just enjoying the moment "here and now"❤ ❤ Good evening to you, dear friends! 🌺 ☀️... There will be a continuation... ☀️ #india

I like to look at airports. They are like an entrance hall, telling about the dwelling and its owners. The biggest impression on me was made by the Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Airport. It looks like a flying saucer from the outside. Inside, the airport is just as unusual and bizarre. The feeling that you get into some kind of fairy-tale palace. At night, lamps in the form of flowers are lit there, they are still arranged several in a row, a fantastic sight. A panel of flowers…

It is very hot and stuffy here, on such days I like to look at winter photos. But as soon as I imagine how long our winter will be, I immediately switch to sea photos😅 Happy day to you, my friends😊 May everyone have good weather!🙏 Those who suffer from the heat, let them enjoy the coolness, and those who are tired of prolonged rains, let them warm up under the rays of the sun!

We spent two happy seasons in Calangute. Our friend rented a two-room apartment on the 3rd floor in a clean and cozy house, he lived in one room himself, and rented the second to friends. The house was beautiful, its main feature was that our apartment was surrounded by a huge balcony on the entire floor. In the evenings, we liked to sit on the balcony with a bottle of beer or a joint, philosophize, discuss the events of the passing day and plan new adventures, share…

There is one place in India that made a strong impression on me, and where I want to go again and again, this is Hampi in the state Karnataka. Here are the remains of the ancient Vijayanagar empire with magnificent temples, amazing nature and a majestic landscape - blocky mountains. There is an atmosphere here that is difficult to convey in words. It is good to come here to enjoy the silence after a busy social life in Goa. ☀️... There will be a continuation... ☀️ #india

In Goa we were joined by a couple of newlyweds who came for the first time, on their honeymoon. After my husband's stories, they were eager to visit India. The honeymoon of our friends turned out to be just full of adventures!💫 On the second day of their stay, they got into the reverse current with us while swimming and almost drowned. On the same day, the girl burned her leg on a motorcycle pipe. On the 3rd day, they caught some kind of illness and fell ill with a fever. We…

Every February, a 3-day carnival takes place in Goa. The state is decorated with colorful flags and masks, concerts are organized in the villages. It's very colorful, fun and noisy. Europeans have fun in their own way, organizing a freak parade in Arambol. People come up with a variety of the most unthinkable costumes and make-up, who you will not see there... They organize concerts and shows. Every year, a new parade theme is invented and an entourage is made for it. In…

Once I met the dawn on the Calangute beach. My friends went to hang out at the club, and I was in the mood to stay in silence and alone. The dawn is a great and powerful thing. It is a pity that the flesh is weak and likes to cradle itself. No wonder there is a proverb - "Who gets up early, God gives him" . ☀️... There will be a continuation... ☀️ #india

I real love the Georgian cuisine😍 One of my favorite dishes is chashushuli. This is meat, stewed in its own juice and spicy tomato sauce, is a spicy and very spicy dish, but at the same time soft and tender. I tried to cook it at home, but I can't get such a beauty as in the photo. But it still tastes good. If anyone is interested in the composition of this dish, then here are the ingredients: beef/lamb meat, onions, red onion, garlic, bell pepper, fresh tomatoes, herbs…

Today nice evening, it's cool outside. It's already the middle of summer, and more than half of my life has been lived. I think what the life of the whole planet could be like if every person chose the path of the heart and the work of his life. We would all be needed and useful to each other, as in the parable about heaven and hell. Hell. The room is filled with the aroma of delicious food, there is a bowler with food in the middle of the room, and people are around it.…

The daily life of a cat😂 Looking at him, you can suspect that the cat has planned a crime. In fact, the shoes smell like our friends' cat. They send greetings to each other😊

I love evening cities flooded with lights. The city becomes somehow new and mysterious. The hustle and bustle disappears. People are relaxed after a hard day and return home to their relatives. Or they go to sit in a cafe with friends. This is Moscow, the area of three railway stations. I came on a business trip and in the evening went for a walk near the hotel. Good evening, friends! Happy weekend and a great mood!

I was born and live in a big young city, which is only 128 years old. We have several symbols of the city, known throughout Russia and immortalized on our local chocolates. This is the building of the Opera and Ballet Theater and the building of the railway station. There are also several old wooden houses decorated with magnificent wood carvings. But in general, the architecture is quite boring. But there is a district that I love very much, perhaps because I was born there…

I'm going to cook pancakes and decided to write a culinary post. But not about pancakes😊 About my favorite soup, which is called "borsch". The homeland of this dish is Ukraine, but I cook it in Siberian😊 Here are its ingredients: beef, beets, carrots, tomatoes, onions, white cabbage, potatoes, beans and seasonings to taste (I like to add turmeric and paprika). It is good to serve borsch with herbs, for lovers of spicy, you can add garlic. My husband loves borsch with sour…

I love trees. They delight the eyes with their beauty, give protection on a hot day and take on all the negativity and aggression of the megalopolis environment. I was very impressed with the Filipinos planting a great many trees🙌🤝🌳🌳🌳 Our planet suffers a lot from consumerism, from the fact that people cut down trees and destroy forests for their own benefit. The climate is changing for the worse and we, the people, are to blame for this. I want to ask God to bring to reason…

This is a photo from Hampi, Hanuman Temple on Anjeyanadri Hill. There are a huge number of steps leading there (it seems about 600), so I advise everyone who is going there to take drinking water and a treat (bananas) for the owners of these places-monkeys😊 When we passed the outpost, bananas were very useful to us. On the approaches to the mountain there were harsh monkeys and demanded an entrance fee. I had to part with a few bananas. Who would have known in advance what…

Once I had a transit from India through the UAE. Dubai airport seemed to me like a giant shopping center, sparkling and ultra-modern, with a bunch of technical gadgets. There are columns with sockets for different devices. I was able to charge the phone, the player and the batteries to the camera at once😍👻 As at the Delhi airport, there are many sleeping seats there, one of which sheltered me during the 18-hour connection between Mumbai and Novosibirsk. But while I found…

There is an artist Vladimir Rasputin in our city. His paintings are a celebration of life, beauty and harmony, they seem to be painted with sunlight, and the colors are taken from love, tenderness, patience and courage, so they seem to me. Let my post tell you about the work of Vladimir Rasputin in several of his paintings. My favorite picture is called "The Time". Look how accurately this phenomenon is conveyed. Over time, our passions and worries go away and give way to…

A deserted beach in the state of Maharashtra. When my husband and friends and I wanted to take a break from the crowded Goan beaches, we made trips to the neighboring state of Maharashtra. This is a 1-2-hour ride on a motorbike, depending on where to start. Somewhere behind the Shiroda, pointers in English are completed and begin in Hindi. I love these places. The further away you go from Goa, the fewer tourists there are and the prices are lower. We liked one local cafe…

A couple of years ago I read the book "Journey Home" by Radhanath Swami. I read and couldn't tear myself away, it is very fascinatingly written. Firstly, because he writes about India, it was like I was traveling through it again, but I looked at it through the eyes of another person. Secondly, he shares his inner discoveries, this is the most valuable thing for me in the book. Russian priest Andrey Tkachev, encouraging people to read, said a wonderful thought: "A book adds…

From Goa to Hampi you can get in 2 ways: by bus through Panaji directly to Hampi, or by train to the town Hospet, where you need to take a bus and get to Hampi. The journey takes 12 hours. We chose the bus, deciding that this is the easiest way. However, after 2 hours of travel, a surprise was waiting for us😅. We arrived in Panaji and all the passengers were asked to get off the bus with their baggage. It's dark outside, you can't see a thing, nothing is clear🤯🤷♀️ It turned…

My husband gave me a holiday today❤️ Shrimps were an integral part of our Goan life. We liked to have shrimp parties. We stopped at the fish market, took 0.5 kg of shrimp per person, limes, greens and beer and went to visit the owner of party. And yesterday we had a Georgian party, I cooked chakhokhbili and we drank dry red wine😊 Ingredients of dish: chicken, tomatoes, onions and seasonings: coriander, basil, hops-suneli. Basmati rice was used as a side dish. Or to your…

In Hampi, we were immediately surrounded by rickshaws, but my husband had already been here and knew the distances, in 10 minutes we walked to the river and crossed by boat to the other side. Climbing up the path, we found a magnificent clearing among an abundance of trees and flowers, and in the clearing there is a nice and cozy cafe with low tables and pillows for lying down. Here we immediately wanted to stop and have breakfast 😍 We asked for a menu from a cheerful and…

It should be noted that the main feature of the bungalow is its romantic name😊 The interior was very minimalistic: a couple of chairs, sockets and a bed with a mosquito net. The bed was high, and with my height of "a meter with a cap" I literally climbed on it😄 The roof is covered with palm leaves, and the window was a lattice of sticks, and I made a curtain with a help of my pareo😊 But my husband and I are unpretentious tramps and came to the bungalow only to sleep to…
