Very gripping one minute Sudhish. I happened to search for stuff on “aishnam” during which google turned only one(irrrelevant) result.
Konkani too is scriptless rite?
OT- by any chance is the insti named after Amon Goethe? Watched Schindler’s list a couple of days back and was stunned with the connection.

Checked the web but could find Absolutely nothing about a language called Aishnam.
Otherwise this is an Excellent piece and message. Only wish he had used some really extinct language instead of a made up one!

harish:
yes… very nice no?
he shot it with my handycam!
sugavasi:
im sure he has read your comment and will be glad to hear that.
prakash:
my nanban’s work… more than sharing, its showing off… he he!
vijay:
i think so too… I hope this makes it…
bharat:
yes konkani does not have a script of its own and uses the devanagari script… aishnam is a fictitious language.
dunno abt the goethe connection…
wa:
yes, yes… very powerful…
diva:
anamika is singer Mika’s lil sister…
vo:
karrectu!
anonymous:
exactly what i asked him but its a short film competition… which means u do have the creative licence to drive home the point…
all facts mentioned in the film are true though… only the language is fictional…
