A CARt in Goa!

Pic credit: Deial

 Saw this at the bus stop this morning. I appreciate those men actually. In a state where everyone owns a vehicle per person, these persons were on a cart... This is what is meant by exercising personal freedom and normalizing individual choice - even if it doesn't seem cool or relevant to others. Seriously, I've got to stop being bothered by what others perceive of me when I want to be me. 

I felt amazing after seeing them today.

21!

  Finally, my 21st birthday! Celebrated it with family friends. Aunt Eliza, my previous neighbour and the only neighbour I ever had, shaped my perspective and approach about the Goan culture and traditions through my interactions with her children Patrick and Wanda. They partly raised me and my sister. I honour them as much as I love and miss them being here in Verna (and they in Sancoale), and so happy to have them beside me as I enter adulthood. In the picture: my little friends- (from left) Evelyn, Daleny, Deial, Nathan and Zaeden. Baby Keziah was too shy to join us for a photo.  Patrick and family. Thanks for coming man! I couldn't be happier to see you all come for me. :-) Wanda! Thank you too for coming. I love you guys!  ...and here comes the baccha party!  I had a great time with the kids while the parents association gathered together for a chat after dinner.  Nathan's missing..  This is dinner time. We all had dinner together after cutting the cake. Mummy prepared ev
