    I was one among the audience at KCO Talents Day. It's nice to see Konkani Shining on foreign soil. Hats off to KCO for organising such an event. But, the noticable missing part was the audience. Almost 70% of the audience was either the participants or their parents. We always say that there is a huge no. of Konkani people in the U.A.E. I think atleast one out of 52 weekends we could sacrifice for our Konkani....
