Journey through Time

The former Portuguese enclave of Goa is famous for its quaint old Portuguese-style houses dotting the fields and the long lonely stretches of country roads.

These mansions, commonly painted in indigo, bright yellow or rust with a combination of white for contrast are a beauty to behold, enchanting tourists from all over the world.

However, in a disturbing trend, many original owners are choosing to tear down these bungalows and move to modern flats. High cost of maintenance as well as family feuds are factors that contribute to this trend.

In many other cases, owners simply abandon homes and migrate to foreign lands. Left to their own resources, these houses put up a brave front against the onslaught of time. But that fight is futile and sooner or later the elements lay claim to the abandoned homes. Call it entropy.

Journey through Time is a haunting progression of a story as a conversation with one such old run-down ghostly mansion, told using poetry to complement visuals.
