About
Born to Brahmin Goan parents in Mapusa, the capital city of the Bardez region. I’m told that the hospital where my mother gave birth to me was situated right beside a fish market. I’m thinking that it’s a probable cause for my liking seafood. Anyway, that accounts for my username. Besides loving fish, I love to write and read anything I can get my hands on. I love shells, beach glass and dipping my hands into the ocean. Oh yes, I still love shoes and don’t mind the size of my feet. Incidentally, like the shrinkage in my height, my feet have become smaller. These are some of the perks of aging. I love it so much as I do the restrictions in my diet
My blog is inspired by memories and fiction. Love this saying: ‘memories are like moonbeams, you can do with them what you want’
Oh ,hw i love bumping into Goan blogs!
Are u based in goa too? i guess not:-)
I wish I was based in Goa
– I’m in B.C. Canada and trying hard to revive memories from my past. Unfortunately, in a computer mishap, I lost all my India photos and these days, I rely on the photos of others. Let me know of other Goa blogs because I too love reading them
Hi dear old friend… love your blog, hope to see you when I visit the west. Take care, luv rigden
Thanks Rigden
I really hope to see you. Whenever I see a monk with robes like yours, I let my eyes follow them around wondering.
While surfing Internet, I came across your blog. It is interesting and I am able to know more about Goa.
Is the fact you are Brahmin born very important to your self-identity?
Hmmm… you know, I never did consider it seriously. It’s what I know about my Goan Indian background and it just tumbled out of me when writing that bit. Incidentally, every bit about my Goan identify is important to me
Wishing you well Cecil.
Are you from Bodiem? Aldona? Curious!
