POMBURPA SPRING The natural spring at Pomburpa, situated on the outskirts of Bardez taluka is one of the very famous springs in Goa. Many locals and tourists come here for a bath as this spring waters is said to be medicinal. Originally belonging to the Church, it now under the care of the Tourism Department. In 1915, this spring was developed by Augusto Mathias Pinto e Joaquim Vicente Pinto de Olaulim. Although there are many other springs in nearby areas, the Pomburpa spring still holds on its own. Pomburpa spring is surrounded with plantations and a children park . This place has been built up with cement and stones now. Two water pipes are fitted in through with the spring water flows and makes it more convenient to have a bath.This spring also comes on the top of the tourist’s list for spending weekends and picnics. The spring water is used for bathing by men and women who throng the spot throughout the year.

Calvim Bridge Calvim Bridge is built on a tragic story. 4 schoolgirls and two adults died while crossing the river in Feb 2012 and that is when this bridge was commissioned. The Plaque gives the names, dates of birth and photos of all these people and the Calvim bridge is dedicated to them. But for this story, this would be just another steel and cement structure connecting the two villages across a river. To me, this was another great example of remembering the locals who lost their lives in an accident. This is what makes Goa special. I was told that you get lovely Samosas in the evening across the bridge and it is this Samosawala who drives the maximum traffic on the bridge. What bridges can do – feed hungry souls every evening with some tasty samosas?

What you would see if you were to stay is the undeterred desire of the ant to protect, save, and rebuild their society. They have this desire in spite of the inevitable demise of their colony.                          Humans also have the desire to protect, save, and rebuild their society if needed. We do this too, with the knowledge of the inevitable end of the universe and our existence in it. Most do not know that ants, like humans are highly social. Anyone who has had the benefit of owning an ant farm will know this. They work in a highly structured society where everyone has a place and does their job. Here's a fun fact about Ants:- --  When the queen of the colo...
