In the world of Gypsies

    Hello World!
    Gypsy, gitane, bohemian,....
    all those names resonate the sound of freedom and merry-life.....free from all societal conventions, norms....

    Whenever I used to think about Gypsies, my reflection was limited to the character of Esmeralda in The Hunchback of the Notre Dame’ movie.... I always wanted to dance like her....

    But behind the facade of those road nomads lay a world of culture and history
    Don’t know about you but this world does fascinate me....
    Gypsies ancestors are said to be originated from the north of India where a group of people left the country between AD 800 and 950 before spreading themselves across countries like Egypt and Europe...

    Always roaming on the road, the lifestyle of the Gypsies was not to the like of everyone...usually unwelcomed where they set their wagons; they were badly perceived and were given a negative reputation and image...

    The Gypsies usually make up their life by doing small jobs or hawking but they were famous for their singing and dancing talent...

    Imagine yourself around a bonfire while a group of gypsies would be singing and playing their musical instrument while the women would be dancing....I would have loved to experience this one day...

    We cannot talk about the Gypsies without mentioning their belief in being able to foreseen the future...
    The methods used to read and see the future are:
    • Palm reading
    • Tea leaves
    • Crystal ball
    • Tarot cards

    True or not, I would have loved to have the dancing grace of the Gypsy woman and the ability to read the future in the Tarot cards
