Here’s the full post
Merry Christmas to you all, from Goa. It’s been the most eventful Christmas of my life.
Gonna be very vulnerable in this write up.
We both love swimming in the open ocean. I’ve been doing this since I was a kid.
But yesterday we got swept away by an underwater current.
This has happened to me before but I’ve never been alongside a companion.
It’s easy to swim out of one alone. It’s very hard to pull someone out with you.
After a 5-10 minute struggle, we called for help and were promptly rescued by a family of 5 swimming nearby.
We’re both good swimmers but the fury of nature is such that it WILL test your limits at some point.
A casual, fun dip in the waves was interrupted by an underwater current that toppled both of us. The next thing we knew was that we were both struggling to stay afloat.
There was a point during the ordeal where I swallowed a lot of water and started fading away a little bit. That’s when I decided to shout for help.
Deep gratitude to the family of the IPS officer husband and IRS officer wife who saved us both.
This experience left us feeling both blank as well as grateful. We felt the protection of God throughout the incident.
As we moved into today’s Christmas, we’re simply full of gratitude for being alive.
Almost feel like this one life experience has changed my perspective towards living.
Writing this because I’ve always shared these moments with you all. Full of emotion and gratitude today. A deep thank you and big hugs to each one of you reading this!
Last evening, I decided to call my brother @brother.salvador to convey the Christmas Eve incident. He performed a prayer for us where we thanked Lord Jesus Christ as well as the God above us.
This has been a very very memorable Goa holiday for me. From discovering secret Murtis at @aliladiwagoa to touching the life-death barrier.
I guess 2025 is going to be more blessed than ever.
We lived for a reason!
Merry Christmas to you all and to your families. Thank you God, for life!
