| A month since I put my feet on home soil and it feels like only yesterday that I got back. Time has flown by. I have been at home and then again I haven’t spent any time at home. Being back in Goa and amidst the family, means working around a lot of schedules. It’s also that time of the year when a lot of partying happens- weddings, baptisms, birthdays, engagements. The smallest event calls for a celebration. Every goan celebration means good food and dancing and I’ve got HAPPY FEET :) At the end of last night I also had very tired feet :P The amateur theatre group that I’ve been part of since 1994 has now completed twenty long years. We were invited to put up a play for the delegates of a conference. ‘On the Holy trail’ was written and produced by our director and founder member Ms. Isabel Santa Rita Vaz. It feels awesome to be part of my theatre group again. A number of new faces around, but we all have two things in common…we love acting and we love Goa with all its traditions and customs. It was also a time to meet old Mustard Seeds who flock to Goa for Christmas with the family. It’s great be back in green, green Goa :) On the 3rd was a cousin’s birthday. He entered the country sometime end of Nov and chose to spend his birthday in Goa as his mum is here. I was at an aunt’s place when I heard about his trip to Goa and since he was spending his birthday with family after years, we decided to throw a small party for him. His birthday coincides with the feast of our patron saint for which the whole of Goa has a holiday. 3rd morning saw me wake up at six to bake the birthday cake. A fun day no doubt for all of us. Thanks to my cousin, Lisa, I also got to play the piano after ten years :) On the 8th of Dec I went to the Museum of Christian Art. No, I am not so religious that I need to visit such places. The curator is known to me and a workshop was being held for kids. I volunteered to help. Brought back loads of memories of doing craft at school :P It feels good to be back in goa and even better to be back home. :) | ||||||||||
