Unfettered gypsy spirits fearlessly catch cobras and poisonous lizards in India.
\nTame cobras, display them in gypsy shows magically controlling the cobras
\nGypsy women dancing beautifully, the soft sounds of their whirling feet, mesmerizing mantras.
\nThe air perfumed with sweet sandalwood scents, the ambience extraordinary.
\nSelf-designed radiant clothes, outward displays of joyful liberated lives.
\nFunerals celebrated with music and dance, death a natural freeing event.
\nLives unbound by 9 to 5 grinds; no company owns their souls.
\nNo pressure to be better than others or get degrees from the right colleges and tread
\nwaning career paths desperately trying to get to the top of the heap.
\nNo keeping up with neighbors’ expensive perishables; everything eventually perishes,
\nno matter the glitter.
\nPure living, spontaneous, free, now, forever \u2013 Cobra Gypsies.<\/p>\n
