Fairy Tale
Did you read about the mermaid in that tale of yore and wonder what it would feel like to play and live in the waves in a big castle below the ocean?
I did.
I always had a fascination for water, lots of it. Free flowing, moving, without bounds and with unknown depths, holding so many secrets within its bosom.
Having never learnt how to swim never dampened my spirits and the first glimpse of a big water body always brought on but one reaction to throw myself in it and let the water hold me up.
Growing up in an industrial town bereft of even a swimming pool let along huge stretches of water these desires bubbled away beneath the surface much like underground streams. Alive but invisible.
That is all in the past at age 29 I have finally experienced water. Water in its most mighty, life giving, limitless form…the sea.
Not knowing how to react to it, I walked out to the beach to confront this huge moving entity. Stretching to the horizon and beyond.
It was all that I had dreamt off and more. Having seen the sea only in movies where the hero & heroine spoke without a noise in the background I wasn’t prepared for the sounds the sea made. Like a living organism sometimes roaring, sometime purring. It was awesome, in the true sense of the word.
My trip to Goa will be forever on my mind as one fairy tale that did come true.
