Chidi works as a driver in Lagos, Nigeria for an MNC. I saw him wearing this 'Goa' tee-shirt and I knew I had to make this portrait.
Goa is one of my favourite places in India and I have spent some great times there. Chidi got this tee-shirt as a gift and he said he would love to visit Goa someday.
I really wish he does...

Goa is India's smallest state by area and the fourth smallest by population. Located in West India in the region known as the Konkan, it is bounded by the state of Maharashtra to the north, and by Karnataka to the east and south, while the Arabian Sea forms its western coast.
Goa's beaches cover about 125 kilometres (78 mi) of its coastline. These beaches are divided into North and South Goa. North Goa is more commercial and touristy with an abundance of mostly low and medium budget tourist accommodations; whereas South Goa is where most higher–end hotels and private beaches are located.

After a fine week in Goa I was travelling on to Kerala, asking a friendly taxi driver to take me to Karmali train station in Old Goa.
We had a lot of time until the night train would come so I asked him to show me a little of Panaji, the Capital. He took me to what you can see in the picture above, telling me with a wry smile: "This is a monument of what's left of Western colonialisation of India".
It was the hottest day on my journey. I sat down before this monument of European endeavour... or failure, wondering about how the old colonial past influence the relation between today's nations - and people...

Sun setting over Dona Paula, Goa seen from Cidade de Goa resort. Dona Paula takes the name from the Portugues Viceroy' daughter, who is said to have thrown herself off the cliff on being not allowed to marry her lover, a local fisherman, Gasper Dias. Her ghost is still said to be visible on moonlit nights, wearing only a pearl necklace!
“Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth”- Rabindranath Tagore
We might have the vision, I might know the way, but we can be free in the true sense only when we break the boundaries created within.

Goa (sud de l'Inde) est reconnu pour la beauté de ses plages. Nous retournions à l'hôtel après une journée à jouer dans la mer quand j'ai réalisé que le soleil se prêtait à merveille à la pose de silhouette. J'ai indiqué à mon neveu de jouer avec son ballon en restant si possible sur place, le temps de prendre quelques photos, dont voici la meilleure d'entre elles.
Goa (South India) has among the best beachs I ever saw. We were on the way back to the hotel when I realised the sun was at a perfect position for silhouette pictures. I ask my nefew to play with his ball so I could take a few pictures. Here the best of serie.

I should have posted this image years ago. But just didn't get a chance to do so. I was revising Goa and remembered this image, which is quite memorable as me and my husband were on our honeymoon.
We wanted to visit this spot again and click the image again. I did, this image really is quite nostalgic to me. We had rented a bike then to move around and did the same this time too.
