Goan Catholic Roce Ceremony

Image
As the bride closed her eyes and looked towards the altar, she joined her hands in prayer. She prayed and prayed… Prayed for a happy married life, a life filled with joy, happiness and good health. The chuddo in the hands profoundly pronounced that she was the bride. The Bride that would be sitting for the roce ceremony today. Roce Ceremony is a tradition that is been taking place from ages in Goa. It is a tradition where the bridal couple is poured with the juice of the coconut water. The fresh coconut water is poured on the bride and groom to bless them and request God for their happy married life. Usually, the roce takes place at the brides and the groom’s place respectively, in the presence of close relatives, friends and neighbours.  Simultaneously, as the roce took place the elderly ladies in the house started singing, “Tambde roza tujhe polle………” (Konkani song) This is a photograph of a recent roce ceremony which was held at Moira.

Retro Time in Goa...

Goa is all set to groove in the retro mood for the upcoming 45th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in the state. The work in the capital has begun in full swing with this time the theme for the decor being based on 70s retro film era. It's truly amazing to see that the streets in the capital city and the surrounding areas lit up and painted, thus enhancing it’s beauty.  Also, life size cut outs at vantage points, are the key attractions of the decor. It's also, incredible to see the spirit of the state as preparations are in full swing for the warm welcome of the dignitaries and the delegates for this 10 day long film festival which will commence on 20th November.

Miss you Uncle

Image
It was a bright sunny afternoon, when I was sitting in the park admiring the beauty of nature, The beautiful greenery, the sound of the birds chirruping, children playing, When suddenly, my attention was caught by a young child who came to the park along with her uncle on a Avaitar… And this instantly took me back in time when I was a kid… I actually remembered the time, I spent with my uncle… Yes, My Uncle --- the most jovial person and by himself an inspiration to many. He was very popular among people of all the ages… His favourite ride was his bike, the Avaitar..!! Where he travelled anywhere and everywhere and enjoyed every moment on it!! As a kid, I was very fond of him; actually I still adore him… I think his great sense of humour and amazing persona was the reason why everyone instantly got along with him… We had several things in common; I still remember, he was the first person who taught me, how to handle a camera, And yes!! If today, I clic...
