Here's a glimpse of my wonderful, exciting, fabulous and spiritual journey I took recently along the konkan coast- to places like Goa, karvar ,Mangalore with my family . We had loads of fun enjoying the natural picturesque beaches of Goa, boat rides and of course the favourite 'my pilgrimage'.
First phase of my trip was in Goa and I was excited because this is the place our ancestors belonged to . They migrated down South about 400 years ago, fearing conversions from Portuguese and have been living there since. It was quite exciting to see the place where I could speak my Mother tongue, Konkani as most of the people were quite familiar with the same and I felt quite at home. My heart yearned to be there but I had to come down to earth. I would take you through the enchanting experience of mine in my future posts.So keep watching and enjoy the same sitting in the cool comforts of your home.
My friends, I will be visiting all of you very soon,. See you.
Here's a jhalak....(glimpse) of the places I visited and I am going start with Amcha Goa ( My Goa) . .......:-)

Welcome back, my friend. What an amazing trip. I look forward to the details. I can only imagine what it is like to go without speaking your own language and then going home, in a sense, and speaking it again.

good night chitra
You have visited some of the most beautiful places in the Konkan. Like you mentioned people moved down south for the fear of conversion, but now we move back up. :-) Awaiting your future posts, especially the one about Mangalore. I am excited to hear an account of my hometown from you. :-D
