------------------------------------------------------- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.goacom.org/casa-de-goa/noticias.html -------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Miramar Beach http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauksix/305793089/ MIRAMAR BEACH always reminds me of my Mom and a game/competition as a child. Those days, during our school times, Miramar Beach was one of the School Picnic spots others being Sanjivani Sugar Factory, Madras Rubber Factory, Plastic Factory where plastic tumblers etc are made, Old Goa, Mayem Lake, Cashew nut Factory Bicholim etc. As a school boy (Primary Section), I must have visited Miramar Beach at least 2 times with other colleagues/school picnic bus. When arrived home, my mother asked me 'Piknic koxi geli?' 'Miramar Nustea pottantulian gelolo?' 'how was the picnic?' Whether you passed through the Giant Fish tummy at Miramar?' The moment I see the giant fish there (at Children Play area) it really reminds me of my mom. Pl watch the video where it is shown in details. http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauksix/501771705/ Breaking the balloons: During Christmas time or new year, our local sports clubs used to organised annual sports for the locals at the church premises and there were lots of games like Breaking the pot, tailing the donkey, slow cycle, treasure hunt, tug-of-war, 100mtrs dash, one legged fight etc. In the 'breaking the balloons' game, a group of boys (girls separately) were given a inflated balloon each and when the whistle blows then every one tries to break each others balloons in one hand and by staying within the marked circle limit and whoever survives with his balloon intact was the winner. http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauksix/347361237/ The two statues at Miramar Circle (see the clip in the beginning also a pic above) reminded me of that game - breaking the balloons.
