Namaskar...
Sorry for non-marathi readers, I don't have much on offer here for u guys, cuz although Hindi is my national language, I can't speak it properly leave alone writing in it, and I swore to god that the GRE essays I had (ctrl + i, u, b) to write to make it here to US of A were the last literary articles I would write (or basically I am too comfy in my mother tongue)
Barech diwas kahitari lihayacha ahe... pan mag te lokanna awadala pan pahije ani Philosophical pahije kiwwa chhan prawas warnan pahije nahitar kawita kiwwa kahitari chhan goshta...

Malahi asach watat hota, ithe americet yayacha adhi, all my fellow Indian friends can make all the poems they want abt how they miss their cities and family and friends, but me? NO WAY, me layy bhari, tasa lahanapanipasun me jara kamich emotional ahe so ulat tithe gelyawar wisarayala hoil kay hich bhiti...
Pan nahi itaka sopa asata tar kay na... (tar kadachit me kharach lai bhari asato)...
Me hi tasach, after getting over the sweet honeymoon period in here, here I am, thinking, was it worth, was it worth to come here? to leave a well settled job? was it worth to leave all the n parameters behind? was it worth to come here, at all? Kay thevala mage?

Asankhya wela ha apala Goa trip marayacha shevatacha chance ahe, ani hyaweli how is it goin to be better than those guys who went to some XYZ place.. ani mag nothing falling into place and loosing out on one or two members of the group and then again again and again going for a 3 day trip in the same Konkani village and staying in the same hotel in the same room and doing the same Shekoti at night routine (with changing dinner menu and starters et al every passing year, if u know what I mean, ;) )
He asa sagala miss karat majal dar majal karat me jithe ahe tithe yeun pochaloy ani wichar karatoy ki mi kuthe ahe?

Ends rather abruptly (ghadyal 357 dakhawatay ani mazya mitranni olakhala asel ki te ratriche asawe),
