Konkan Trip


Small winding roads make way through thick greens,
As the road curves along it reveals the typical Konkani scene,

There are houses with thatched roofs,
Surrounded by boisterous shoots,

There are evergreen paddy fields,
And stocks of cattle feed,

Through a rare green cover clearing we catch the first glimpse of the sea,
It is a picture postcard perfect scene,
As cool but humid breeze brings an occasional downpour over a distant devrai,

Traces of golden sand indicate that we are nearing the beach,
Soon a rail track glides over the sea,
While a lighthouse over the shore cliff signals our arrival to boats out on a fishing spree,

Konkan is surely the 'jari cha padar' of nature's unfurled 'saree'...
Dotted with peaceful temples and this satisfied look of glee!!
