Konkani poems of Maya Kharangate



-Brian Mendonca

World poetry day  today was celebrated in a unique way this morning. Students had to select a poem written by Konkani writer Maya Kharangate and depict it through a short video. 

This is a novel way of approaching poetry. Students had to pay close attention to the images in the poem and present it with suitable sound, and video. The poem was read as an overlay so the viewer could visualize more completely. Students also introduced the poem in Konkani. 

The following poems by Maya were rendered in video format. 

1. Mogri Tenna Parmaltat [When the Mogra Blooms]
2. Sopon [Dream]
3. Uzo [Fire]
4. Asoch Gajatlo []
5. Dev Faslo [God in a Quandary]
6. Burgeponn [Childhood]
7. Tarnatcha [Youth]
8. Ti Mati hi Mati [That Earth, this Earth]
9. Ti Dukaa [These Tears]
