Written for Theme Thursday - Beaches
Sunsets, Sunrises,
The feeling of wet sand under bare feet
Bucket and spade
Sandcastles
The sound of the sea gently lapping the shore
Or the roar of the waves crashing on the beach
People walking at the edge of the water
Ice cream and bhelpuri
Palm trees and Coconut water
Camel rides and Pony rides
Bollywood movie shoots
Cricket matches
Collecting shells and watching the crabs scuttle across
Jumping in and out of the waves
These are some of my beach moments experienced over the years.
Warm Regards

Seems like you're missing the Mumbai beaches much...I can imagine...great poem
ReplyDeleteThanks Kajal Yep those are moments at Juhu. Miss them.
DeleteAlso, the sight of only waves and water uptil the horizon and the panoramic view from atop the lighthouse :)

ReplyDeleteThanks Loudthinkin. Yep, that too. :)
DeleteI cannot stop but think of the feeling of Mumbai beaches..the waves, people and its spirit:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Vishal. That's exactly what I was describing - my days on the beaches in Mumbai.
DeleteThose are some great beach memories, Suzy :) Ice-cream and bhelpuri...what a combination indeed :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Beloo. icre-cream and bhelpuri - my favourites.
DeleteAah, feels like a mini visit to the beach!! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks BeingFab. Glad it took you there.
DeleteBeautiful description of beaches suzy :) your poem took me back to the memories of the fun I had there recently :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Swathi - glad it brought back happy memories.
DeleteLovely images, Suzy. I want to go to the beach now! I will be there in August on the Atlantic shore. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy. Have fun on the Atlantic shore - Florida?
DeleteBhelpuri and beaches go hand in hand! Literally. You made me miss the beaches. I need to visit Mumbai soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pratibha. i miss the Mumbai beaches too
DeleteBeautiful imagery. It makes me want to go to the beach!! Lately we have been plagued with rain, so not very good days to go. I am hoping to get back there this summer. We went in May. It was a bit cold but beautiful just the same!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy. there is something about beaches that is so rejuvenating. maybe it's the sound of the ocean.
DeleteSand , sea and bhelpuri are irresistible combo. The Juhu beach is not clean . Love the beaches of Goa and Tarkarli beach.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kalpana. Was relatively clean in my younger days - of course we played off the main beach near the bungalows. The beaches in Goa are also very commercialised. When we were young we often went to Dahanu and that was beautiful.
Deleteohh bhelpuri!!! why do you have to mention it... now I have craving for bhelpuri and not one shop sells it here. You described some of my favorites things about beaches too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rajlakshmi. We make it at home - you can get all ingredients at the Indian shops here. I'm sure you can get it there too but of course nothing like the bhel back home.
DeleteVisually enriching post! I could see the Bhelpuri wala in my mind's eye. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shailaja. Then my job of writing this post is done.
DeleteYou almost conjured the whole scene in front of me.. right down to the cricket matches.
ReplyDeleteRicha
Thanks Richa. Then I have surely achieved what I meant to - paint a picture in words.
DeleteI live by the beach and do not appreciate it as much as I should. Thanks for the reminder to reflect on memories at the beach, especially when the children were young. What is bhelpuri?
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol. Bhelpuri is an Indian fast food dish. If you click on the link you'll get more info.
DeleteI love seaside and beach more than anything else.. Loved your beach moments...
ReplyDeleteThanks Jayanta. Glad you did.
DeleteThe icecream and bhelpuri, just activated my hunger :)
ReplyDeleteJokes apart, that's a very beautiful picture that you've woven with your words ! The image attached is also very much beautiful :)
Thanks Sreeja Glad you liked my words and picture.
