INTRODUCTION A place of beaches, islands, coconut trees and graffitis; Goa! It is a magical breather place that everyone from India wants to visit but fails to break the wall to get past it. The place recites a story for both nature and party lovers; it offers music from the music system and songs from nature; you can have your choice and choose the one you want. What makes the experience of Goa all the more astounding are the people there, be it the tourists, the locals or the recent movers. All have such a distinctive character, with various stories to share, and this is the journey that this issue of Jam Today will take you through. The journey through places, the journey to people we meet and the journey…

We are constantly told why lights are essential to our physical body and the vitamins and benefits it infuses when we get exposed to them. Not just the physical benefits, but it can also improve our vision with the help of eyeglasses by bending the rays when it passes the glass lens. But, what we are not told is that lights are not just crucial for our body but also our creative mind. Like how Jazz helps us imagine and hallucinate our thoughts based on just the sound of music and no words, the colour of lights does the same; instead of our ears, it’s our eyes that help us dream of the wonder or the Neverland. So imagine, if these lights come together with the water bodies, how beautiful…

The streets that cover our planet are filled with colours from nature and those created by humans. But, the most surprising part is nature does have these colours naturally inbuilt in them, but the rest of the colours that we see in this world are those created by humans, and we paint these walls, streets, and trees with different shades. How creative can our minds get, right?! Without really thinking about being creative, we just begin the process and get a magnificent result without realising the effort and creative mind we put in during creation. As a child, we experience these creatives ideas and implement them to the fullest, but as we grow, we tend to subside them consciously or unconsciously or sometimes we just don’t get enough time to…

How long has life existed in the universe, and how many of us have observed all the little detail? Maybe none of us, right?! After all, it is impossible to notice every detail of the place, but it is possible to observe the place for more than what it is known for. Today in the race of social media and trends, we even tend to travel, observe and see the place for what it is and focus on the mainstream and monotonous stuff. The places created by the universe deserve to be known, understood and viewed. This issue is committed to the unobserved details of nature and the world.…

“WHY NOT LOOK FOR THESE BROKEN PATTERNS ON THE WALLS” Art breaks the pattern of boring and monotonous life. It leaves the room for withered to bloom and shower colours of imagination in our daily life. So, when there’s art present on the walls of the streets, it creates a contrast between the neutral and painted shades of walls. Graffiti break the pattern in an ordered world; it reflects and puts light on the strange visions and thoughts. It illustrates that the world we have lived in for centuries should not always work and be displayed in order. It should have its share of misfits and non-monotonous rhythm, as that is how we focus on our thoughts and let ourselves free from the hierarchy, pattern, and routine. “NO ART WILL…

In a seemingly endless variety of shapes, sizes and structures, these roadways of Fontainhas have marked its path by coloured houses, cafes, shops and bakeries. The colours of the houses never fade, as it gets painted often to maintain their beauty. However, the most authentic part about these houses is when we peek in; we enter a different time, the past. There’s this completely different world inside that lives in the shadow of many colourful walls. It is like an amusement window showering us with the dreams of people living in it. The inside and outside emotions of the houses on the street collide, yet they live in two different timelines and commit to two different energies. The inside colours ignite nostalgia in one, whereas the colours outside show the…

THE SENSE OF SELF EVOKES US TO BECOME THE ONE WITH NATURE Water, makes and breaks things. All the life on this planet fades away eventually; the one that stays till eternity is water. However, it has created a language of its own that will last even long after we die. Its language is not just about communicating with nature but with us humans. It speaks to us like any other art form. Water’s beauty and depth are not just about how it looks; it is not about the waves it creates with the force of gravity or the reflections it shows, but also about how it feels on us. It quickens the emotions; its silent touch caresses the weakest points of our body, and it impacts all the human…

JT: Why did you choose the name ‘The Local Bus’? GG: Well, the name ‘The Local Bus’ actually doesn’t have any deep meaning or representation, but it was just a good suggestion from my friend when I thought of starting a YouTube channel. I am a big fan of the indie band ‘The Local Train’, and their songs are always on the loop, especially during our road trip, outings etc. So when I asked to give a suitable name for the channel, he said replace ‘train’ with ‘bus’ and call it ‘The Local Bus’ since he hears their music all the time from me. And luckily, it worked out, and people actually love that name. JT: In your bio, you mentioned that you are discovering who you are, so what…
