Half a century ago, females could befriend females but they couldn’t befriend 
men – not at least publicly.  Today, women are equal to men in every respect.  
Barring a few states, men and women mix freely without any restrictions.  Of 
course, freedom comes with a price tag attached to it and this is why we have 
more problems today like eloping, committing suicide, etc than in the past when 
lovers kept up their promises and stuck to each other till the end.  At one 
time, the good old saying 'variety is the spice of life', was applied to men 
only but now it is applicable to women as well.

The following short Konkani joke taken from Joe Rose’s audio cassette “Kantaram 
ani Katkutleo” talks about Julius’ girlfriend who probably had more boyfriends 
than she could count:

“POILOCH MOGI” (First lover)

Julius ek tornatto zavn aslo.  To poiloch mogan poddlo, tednam tannem aple 
voklek vincharlem:

Julius: Mojea moga, tum khorench sangtai ki hanv tuzo poiloch mogi mhunnon?

Vokol:  Hoi!

Julius: Khorench!

Vokol:  Hoi; khorench!   Punn hanvuch nokom soglle dadle mhaka he porim kiteak 
vinchartat poi te!  

(Yes; truly!  But I fail to understand why all men ask me the same question!)

(From Dom’s antique shelf!)

Moi-mogan,
