An ode to Khotachiwadi, a Portuguese hamlet that resides in the city of Mumbai, India
“How you came from so far, How you settled in our hearts. How you beautified our lanes. How you charmed our ways. How you learnt to dress demurely in a saree, while keeping your wild ways alive. How you learnt to cook with spices and curry, while you taught us to bake with love. How you became one of us, and we became so like you. Will you stay around to tell your stories to the city that never sleeps?”
The essence of the verse above in Konkani, an Indo-Portuguese language spoken in Goa, Mangalore and the Konkan region of India.
“Khein taoun ayelein, kashein monanth boslein, kashein sobeeth disleein, kashein saadion neslein, kashein bore bore randlein, kashein aamche zaalein. Raotaalein?”
