Hello everyone! Go out for a walk on your campus and find 'treesures'- anything from the trees on your campus that represent the colors or patterns that catch your attention and build a collage. Share with us!

Looking forward to a snapshot of trees from your campuses :)

Hey there, fellow travelers! Today I'm going to tell you about my amazing trip to Curdi, the lost village of Goa that only appears once a year in May. Sounds spooky, right? Well, don't worry, it's not a haunted village or anything like that. It's just a village that was submerged by a dam in the 1970s and now resurfaces when the water level goes down.

Curdi was a prosperous village with a rich history and culture. It had temples, churches, schools, farms, and even a police outpost. But when the government decided to build the Salaulim dam to supply water to most of Goa, the villagers had to leave their homes and move to nearby villages, and since then Curdi has been under water for most of the year.

But every summer, when the water level drops, the village returns to the surface. And that's when I decided to visit this unique place with my friends. We took a bus ride on a narrow road through the jungle and reached the site where we could see the old buildings, unique vegetation, lovely rocky but green terrain, and a stream flowing through it. It was like stepping back in time and seeing how our ancestors lived.

We also visited the picturesque location with ancient rock carvings illustrating our ancestor's lifestyles that is Usgalimal. It was fascinating to see the images of animals, humans, and geometric patterns carved on the rocks. Some of them date back to 6th century BC! We learned a lot about the history and culture of Curdi and its people from our guide.

We had a wonderful time exploring Curdi and Usgalimal. It was a rare opportunity to witness a village that is slowly disappearing from the map. We felt a mix of awe, sadness, and gratitude for being able to see this place. If you do get a chance to visit in May, don't miss this unique experience. Curdi is a hidden gem that deserves the public's love.
