A Born Bohemian

 I am taking part in The Write Tribe Festival of Words 8th – 14th December 2013. http://writetribe.com

Whatever I write might kick the senses just like my sol kadi :D. The same outburst of erratic thoughts without any control of time and destination.
There are so many things i want to pour on these blank pages….But how do i start? From childhood? The meandering youth? The restless growing age? Or shall i hit down the accelerator from the present and go back to the past?

Let me see…hmm..here i go knocking on my memories with a slight twist in the time machine. I was born and brought up in the bosom of the sandy beaches of Goa. A carefree soul, who spoke her own language of passionate prose. I weaved dreams on the sand. Build palaces on the palms and dived deep in the sea to rejuvenate  my soul.
I trekked the lands of the ancestors searching for treasures in the fossilized holes. There were days when time stood still and the childhood bliss continued till the old man on a wintry night reminded that a new dawn is born.

I would like to carry on and on with my whimsical ramblings…god knows how long :D

As this is my first post for the " Write Tribe Festival of Words 2 ", let me take a breather and think about what i want to write and how i go about it…Cherrioooooooooooooo : D
