Beach Walking Morjim to Mandrem 1978 to 1998.
Was pretty inspired by the Mandrem pictures and beach snaps. So this post.
I saw a post on Mandrem and the exhilirating pictures of the Beach scenes in Mandrem alongside. Didnt know about the Mandrem heritage being so rich.
I hail from Morjim. My experiences are like some fairy tale stories. One of them is the daily evening walks from Morjm to Mandrem. This I guess is the Shortest distance between Morjim to Mandrem. The best part being walking along the beach. So the walk/wading experience from Morjm to Mandrem collecting shell fish is beyond any good looking verbal posting like this. The sands then, were Shinning white silver in colour. The waters were transparent . I remember we all cousins collected the shells and take it in a bag filled with the salt water to keep it fresh. Then on reaching home made soup from these cute small shell fish ( small khubeys ) we would call them.
Dont know what has happened to colour of the white silver sands. MAYBE THE FREQUENT DUMPINGS BY THE FOREIGN OIL DUMPING SHIPS THAT CAN BE SEEN IN THE DISTANCE have discoloured them. Now the sands look grey and black at some places.
