Do not pray for an easy life,
pray for the strength to endure
a difficult one…

Become a champion in life, by
conquering the enemy within…

Dear Reader,
Wish you a very warm welcome.
I would like to ask you all, what do you think is the
greatest blessing of Almighty to you? Some would say
Health! Some Wealth! Some Parents! Some Character!
Though your guesses are absolutely correct, Life is the
greatest blessing… Without life you cannot have parents,
health, wealth, character and other things.
Life is the precious gift one has ever got. But we spoil this
life doing all sorts of rubbish things like cheating, being
selfish, greedy, landing up in sorrows and grief, trying to
run behind things we don’t have forgetting all the
precious things we already have.
You always have a second chance for everything, like you
can correct yourself if you do something wrong, but once
the life comes to an end you cannot even think of getting
an extra second even though you must be the richest man
and buy anything you wish on Earth.
So enjoy life the way it is, rather than regretting later
on… Each and every second is precious, do not waste it!
Life is only 10% what happens to us and 90% how we
react to it…
Thank you and good luck for your success…

Love, Wealth and Success!
A woman came out of her
home and saw 3 old men
with long white beards
sitting in her front yard.
She did not recognize
them. She said, “I don’t
think I know you, but you
must be hungry. Please
come in and have
something to eat.”
“Is the man of the house
home?”, they asked.
“No”, she replied, “He’s out.”
“Then we cannot come in”, they replied.
In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. “Go tell them I
am home, and invite them in!” The woman went out and invited the men in.
“We do not go into a house together,” they replied.
“Why is that?” she asked.
One of the old men explained: “His name is Wealth”, he said pointing to one of his friends, and
said pointing to another one, “He is Success, and I am Love”, then he added, “Now go in and
discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.”
© The MAGEX Weekly

The woman went in and told her
husband what was said. Her husband
was overjoyed, “How nice!” he
exclaimed. “Since that is the case, let us
invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our
home with wealth!”
His wife disagreed. “My dear, why don’t
we invite Success?”
Their daughter was listening from the other corner of the home.
She jumped in with her own suggestion, “Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will
then be filled with love!”
“Let us heed our daughter’s advice”, said the husband to his wife, “Go out and invite Love to be
our guest.”
The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, “Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be
our guest.”
Love got up and started walking toward the home. The other 2 also got up and followed him.
Surprisingly, the lady asked Wealth and Success: “I only invited Love, why are you coming in?”
The old men replied together, “If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would’ve
stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love,
there is also Wealth and Success!!”
“Happiness, wealth and success are the byproducts of goal setting; they
cannot be the goal themselves.”

GOA, IndiaGoa is a land that redefines holidays, with its exquisite mix of sun, surf, and beaches. Goa has
become the ultimate tourist destination. Goa is a tiny emeralds land with its natural scenic
beauty, attractive beaches and temples, famous for its architecture, feast and festivals and

city of Margao still exhibits the influence of Portugese culture in Goa.
Portugese merchants first landed in Goa in the 15th
century,
and annexed it soon after. The Portugese colony existed for
about 450 years (one of the longest held colonial possessio-
ns in the world), until it ws taken over by India in 1961.

Dudhsagar Waterfalls

Dudhsagar Waterfalls
One of India’s most splendid waterfalls,
Dudhsagar Falls are located approximately 60
kilometres away from Panjim. This multi-tiered
waterfall gushes down milky white waters from
a height of 310 metres, making it India’s fifth-
highest waterfall.
The site, nestled in a completely natural habitat
is a pleasure to witness and one can even enjoy
some swimming or rock climbing here. An easy
way to reach Dudhsagar is to hire a jeep from
Castle Rock or the nearby village, which will
guide you through the forests to the falls.

India has some of the best and oldest religious
centres in the world. Christianity in India is
believed to have introduced in South-West India,
and we are proud of some of the churches that
are world famous for its stunning architecture
and other aspects. Basilica of Bom Jesus in Old
Goa is one such impressive church that has its
mark in the history of Christianity in India, and
also is a Christian monument revered across the
globe. Let us have a look at some of the
interesting facts of the church that make it stand
out among its counterparts. Basilica of Bom Jesus
in Goa is as old as 400 years (oldest church in the
world)! The foundation stone of the church was
laid on November 24th, and was completed in
1605.
This impressive church in Old Goa is one of the
UNESCO World heritage sites of India. The
church was built using Baroque architectural
style, which was the most popular style of
architecture in the sixties. This is a heavily
adorned and ornamental form of architecture,
making the church a visual treat. The floor of the
church is laid with marble and the interiors are
done with precious stones and other ornamental
works. The holy remains of his body are
displayed to the public once in every 10 years,
which is an event visited by a large number of
devotees and tourists from across the globe.
Basilica de Bom Jesus

This majestic fort perched over the Sinquerim beach is
an architectural marvel of the 17th
century, which was
constructed by the Portugese in order to defend their
land from the Marathas and the British. Offering
breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea, a walk through
the fort to the lighthouse located on top is a must while
touring Goa. The lower portion of Fort Aguada has now
been converted in to a beach resort.

Se Cathedral
Shantadurga Temple

This ancient laterite fort on the Chapora river,
although long since abandoned from a military
standpoint, is nevertheless majestic and an
enduring historical monument. Known for its
spectacular views and sunset vistas, this is a
popular spot for tourists to visit especially in the
evenings. Although little remains of the barracks
and other buildings that once stood within the
forts embrace, it continues to attract historical
buffs, who know about the great battles that were
once fought here. To the average visitor however,
it is a collection of sturdy, irregularly shaped
walls, with just a hint of secret tunnels that can
be found by the keen observer. Chapora Fort first
got noticed in the movie Dil Chahta Hai. The
history of the fort is long and varied. It has been
held by many rulers for varying lengths of time.
The village of Chapora, and the fort, get their
name from ‘Shahapura’ or, ‘the town of the
Shah’. This was due to the fact that it was once
the stronghold of the Sultanate of Bijapur. When
the Portuguese defeated the Shah and seized the
fort, it had great military significance for them, as
the Chapora river marked the northern boundary
of Goa, with Pernem on it’s opposite bank, being
the province of the Maharaja of Sawantwadi.
This fort, although formidably built has fallen
multiple times to the Maratha might, once in
1684 and again in 1739. In 1741, during the
‘Novas Conquistas’ or New Conquests, the
Portuguese regained the fort and further
conquered the Northern territory of Pernem, thus
decreasing the military significance of the
Chapora fort.

A military museum, the Naval Aviation Museum
houses exhibits which portray the evolution of
the Indian Navy over the years. The museum is
divided into an indoor exhibit and an indoor
gallery divided over two floors. Inaugurated in
October 1998, the Naval Aviation Museum is the
second of its kind in India, the first one being the
Air Force Museum in Delhi. The outdoor exhibit
is a vast park where visitors can walk around
and have a look at all the aircrafts which the
Indian Navy has used over the years.
There are a total of thirteen aircrafts on display,
some of them being: Sea Harrier, Hawker Sea
Hawk, HAL-HT-2, HAL Chetak and the
Westland Sea King. In the indoor section of the
museum, visitors will find information about the
key battles in which the Indian Navy was
involved. Apart from that, on display are
weapons used in war, uniforms worn by Navy
personnel and also old photographs. The
museum also houses mammoth replicas of the
INS Vikrant and the INS Viraat.
