'This is India?': High-tech changing room in Goa leaves UK YouTuber couple speechless

A travel content creator couple from the UK shared their surprise at finding a high-tech changing room at a store in India, claiming they have not seen such technology even in stores in Dubai, London or New York. The couple, Liam and Dani Cross, run a YouTube channel called Travel With The Crosses. They shared their shopping experience at a store in Goa. The video showed Liam entering the changing room with three items of clothing. The couple, Liam and Dani Cross, shared their shopping experience at a store in Goa. (Instagram/travelwiththecrosses) "Look how futuristic these changing rooms are," Dani said as her husband walked into the changing room with a screen on the back. As soon as he stepped inside, the screen displayed the three items he had in his hands and showed the sizes chosen by Liam. "The mirror picks up the items and their sizes. And then, say you want another size, you can choose on the screen and they will bring it to you," she said, adding that the screen also shows items that can be paired with the clothing and options to ask staff to bring them to the changing room to try out. "How cool is that? How amazing is that? India is in the future man," she said, praising the Azorte Store in South Goa. In the caption, the content creators praised the high-tech changing room. "This is not in Dubai, this is not in London, this is not in New York. This is India. I'm sorry but India?! Third world who?! This is better than shopping in Wales!! Back where the salesman 'goes to the back' to check if they have your size… when clearly they leave the room, scroll on TikTok for a minute, then come back empty-handed. Gotta give it to India for the shopping experience," it read.

The Call of Kabini

Golden rays of the sun play hide and seek in the misty-white canvas of dawn in the Kabini Forests. As they sneak through the dancing branches, the silence is broken by 'an alarm call'. These calls are popularly considered 'vocal signals' sent by monkeys, squirrels, or various birds living atop the crown layer of the forests upon sighting predators on the ground, turning into warning signals for other animals. 'They are 'nature's CCTV' that convert visuals into audio signals,' jokes K Dinesh Kumar, a professional tour guide from India Tourism. These unusual noises are not only understood by fauna but also by those who live in tune with mother nature, like tribals, forest officials, and naturalists. A movement of their heads, high concentration, eerie silence, are all keynotes to find the rarely-spotted big cat during a safari or trek. Kabini rests on the eastern lap of the Western Ghats, belonging to Nagarhole National Park on the banks of the River Kabini. Lake Kabini, with an area of 24 was formed after the construction of the Kabini Irrigation Dam. The Nilgiris Biosphere is enlisted by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage Site that houses uniquely rich flora and fauna. No other wildlife tourist destination in South India offers such incredible probabilities of animal sightings. A usual two-hour-long Kabini boat safari covers around 27 km. 'According to the recent estimation, there are 149 tigers. Leopards are more than 200, and we can't say exactly how many elephants' says Sarath Ramesh, a naturalist who works with Evolve Back Kabini, a resort on the eastern shoreline of Lake Kabini. These wild cats thrive amidst herds of Indian gaurs, antelopes, deer, monkeys, squirrels, and more. The 245 species of birds enrich the fauna of the forests. Indian rollers, bluish-striped birds, are the official bird of Karnataka and easily spotted. When Vishnu Sadan, an ornithologist and naturalist with Evolve Back Kabini, saw a Green Pigeon dart away, his eyes accidentally fell upon a Tiger cub on the shore, nestled in the shadows. Sadan, escorting a small group of tourists, ecstatically said, 'It was as if the green pigeon was bringing the tiger cub before my eyes so I could point it out to my fellow travellers'.
