Konkani love poem
तूगेलै तौडं आरशय़न पोळचै
मउणँजै मौजै सौबीत गीत
पूण वैगीन कौर तै गायब जावपाक शकता
है मौजै अँत हँव तूझौ मौग कौरता

Dressed in very soft drapes
Konkani (Konkanese, gomântakî, कोंकणी, Konknni) (Maharashtra) for 8 million Indians, or 4 million Indians girls. The prettiest of them often dresses red and yellow in very soft drapes. It sometimes happens to her to dress in an European way. For her it is the memory of the time when she was studying in Paris. She travels a lot, and still studies languages, because she hopes one day to find that, which is common for all men.
The Konkan
The Konkani, in an Indo-Aryan language which is written with the kannada script, It's one of the 22 official languages of India, one finds it mostly in the Goa state. The word konkani comes from the name of the inhabitants of the country "Kukkana". The Konkan is the coastal region of India that goes from Daman to Goa. The population is rural and subsists by rice fields, coconut palms, vegetables and jute. A string of small ports, situated at the mouths of the coastal rivers, practice cabotage and fishing.
