Portugal

                                                                          Portugal            My love!!!! It’s the land of my dreams. Portugal, when I think about you there is only one thing in my mind – Desire. Desire to reach the land that I love, and the land that inspired me at such a  young age. I am from India, and my native place is Goa. Before 1961, Goa was a colony of Portugal, and going to Goa meant actually going to Portugal.    When I was a kid, and I would go to Goa, I would see these beautiful churches and homes that were made by the Portugu...

Homelessness

                                                                         Homelessness             Joe sat on the middle of the Street looking at his new future, which was really not a good sight.What was he to do, as he had to face it. A couple of years back, he had a home of his own, a beautiful house in the middle of the city. Unfortunately, the rents had skyrocketed and the eye of the builder took a toll on his home life. Documentation won in the end, as he lacked the right papers and then came the foreclosure – his house being locked in front of his eyes and the authorities started taking over the possessions – and he was left standing in one corner with the few belongings that he had. The people around him just went...

The Fatal bite

                    Hurrying  to his office, Ferris crossed the road  and went towards the office. The sun added to his fatigue as he walked down the grey concrete road.As he walked towards the road, he saw a list of shops down the way and glanced at them. They were displaying their wares with the owners waiting for business to happen. The bustling activity was coming to a close as the sun was beginning to set down and the skies turned to a pale blue. He brought a few things that were necessary as work would still take some time. Then as the sun turned into a crimson red, he started walking towards the office.                As he walked top the office, he passed by a lake. A lake that had vegetation all arount it and as he walked towards the lake, he brushed against a big bush that was in the way. The b...

Queen - The Legends of Music

                                        Feels like I've got no rhythm!! I’ve got to find my beat and then "Caviar and cigarettes, well versed in etiquette "are the lyrics mouthed by the legendary Freddie Mercury!!!

Ohhhh!!!! Beautiful Romania

                                                 It's a dream!!! A wish of mine, to go to Europe - to take a trip down the lanes of Italy, sitting in the cafes and sipping on some cream latte, or heading towards the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and visiting the Nossa Senyhora chapel in France. Seeing the bullfight in Spain would be something, and then going to St.Mark's Basilica in Venice, many call it "Heaven on Earth" and it sure is, because it looks so beautiful in print. I will fulfill my dream, but till some months ago I just thought about the Western Europe, and felt it was the best. Never though much about East Europe, but I did know a couple of places, like Transylvania and I know about due to a famous horror movie. I thought of it more as a g...
