Where The Mind is Without Fear ..

WHERE the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Rabindranath Tagore

My Mock- Letter to th. muivah the Khulakpa of NSCN (IM)

(Unleashing ‘MMC- Mock muivah Campaign’ –Part 1)


mr muivah, (Sorry I didnt feel like typing your name properly)


How are things at your end? I hope you are in the pink/ yellow/green/ blue/red of your health (please choose a relevant colour). I am one of your PSEUDO fans who resides out of Manipur but who is from Manipur (like you). I hope I shall not disgrace you telling this that I am a little more educated than you. Of course, you and your followers speak parrot like English. I really adore that. Your English speaking abilities and your ardent love for English culture sowed the seed of colonialism in your mind and it is obvious from your GREAT DEMAND for greater nagaland (in tiny letters). BUT, I repeat again, your copy-pasted understanding of civilisation has made you the most ineligible leader amongst the list of those liberal fighters and leaders who hail from North East soil. Maybe, you love history and which is why you want to cling back to the primitive era of historical episodes. I heard your favourite pastime is still head-hunting? GREAT! How many heads have you hunted so far? Do you decorate your nagaland home with those heads you hunt?? It must be really ‘artistic’ (my foot). By the very way, have you ever planned out for an escapade route when all your barbaric attempts to gain greater nagaland fails in the long run? Not yet? Hmm, it shall sadden my cracked toes to watch you getting sober when your dreams are but foiled, sob sob!! No sooner than things go haywire, people will tag you like this ‘muivah- the hunter is now hunted’. You would feel pretty down I know. But do not lose hope. Many muivahs will take birth and those baby-muivahs will be naturally trained.


Ok, muivah. You take care. I am so far buzzed off writing such a sick letter to you and I swear my keyboard is even complaining because I usually dont type such ‘nonsense letters’.


Your ill-wisher
Miss Damn Care

Absence doesnt make your heart grow fonder but colder- well, check out!!!!!!!

Thanks to one of the digital friends! I have started igniting my vested interest to start blogging in this site again. Duh!!!!

Hmm, when you are whisking your mind umpteen times during the first half of a working Tuesday, then its easier for anyone to guess that you either don’t have any work for the day or else you have fastened up any work you had during the first few minutes or hours and relax with an empty mind- (nothing officially occupied). If you ever avail of one such situation god bless you!! For the time being God is blessing me (lol). But I doubt I can continue with all these mundane craps which do not fit to be a good topic of re-entering this site again (whew!).

Here I go, 1, 2 and 3.

For the time being my mind is trickling through a funny idea. I suppose she (personifying my dumbo mind) has a penchant for something extra ordinarily ordinary. Well, let me stick back to some psychological substance---- zzzzzzzzz---- Distance relations do not work. Yes, (with an ironically murky smile) it doesn’t work at all. No one can dare sue me to make it a lucid affirmation (grrrrrrrr).

I have been surveying upon my friends, near and dear ones, relatives etc etc etc and sadly I could figure out that long distant relations have just 20% chances of survival (sob sob). Do you want me to cite an example?? Ok I am reluctant to do so. There is this cousin of mine who has been relocated from Bangalore to Manipur for a decent post in some banking sector. His GF (say any name N) stayed back in Bangalore. I have a very dedicated habit of orkuting every day and whenever I would log in I would not miss those heartbreaking status updates of N – Happy to be single finally, he doesn’t deserve me, Glad to be myself..etc etc etc ….wha!!!!!!!!! I don’t mean to mock N or my cousin but I could sense that distance factor was taking a toll upon their relation. They were almost on the verge of break up (I am still not sure if they have patched up or not).


In ancient days our elders used to quote that’ laapnaraga henli nungsinaba’ which synonymously means ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’. But in modern day romance, there is a big BUT to this saying. Things have changed, people are more materialized and in the pursuit of excellence maybe people do not have time to ponder over tiny things in our lives that used to make us happy. Emotions are in fact alienated. So, the bottom line is absence doesn’t make the heart grow fonder anymore; absence makes you grow older while your heart becomes colder.

Be right back!!

Adieu!

An adieu note to 2009

Whew! Just an adieu note for 2009---one of the stubborn years of my life .....Adios!

Survey Report Of Encountering A 'Digital Bhoot'

(The content I am uploading here has got nothing to do with any personal experience. It is another vivid mimicry of my chuckling thoughts)

Ever heard about ‘DIGITAL BHOOT’ (ghost)? I suppose a strict ‘No’. Well, let me share an experience of encountering a digital bhoot via this blog today quoting some characteristics of an ideal digital bhoot:

1. Alluring personality- Until you realise he/she is a BHOOT you will find him/her an alluring character. Of all the persons you meet in digital planet, you would love to spend maximum time with him or her and its all because you think he or she is one among many. (ahu ahu).

2. An impeccable communicator- ‘Aha!’ this is true to its utmost level. Ideal digital bhoots have got an impeccable skill to communicate with anyone. So, communicating with him/her can be a pleasing experience.

3. Simultaneously haunting and taunting: When you don’t get to see him or her around, you will find your mind getting haunted or taunted. You are not sure of what you seem to be missing. And by the time confusion over-rules your conscience you realise your folly (ehh).


4. Down/up to earth trait. He/she doesn’t belong, he/she doesn’t exist on this earth hence he/she is most often down or up to earth. He/she would make you feel that – ‘oh I have been longing enough to meet you and it seems I have waited long enough to meet you’. Yearning, eagerness, curiosity, urges, blah blah blah etc are the right vocabularies to describe your multi-faceted feelings during such circumstances (khi3).

5. Consistently hesitant by nature. A digital bhoot never ever wants to mingle up with earthly affairs and that is the sole reason why he or she would repeatedly hesitate to leak any kind of ghostly or ghastly information about himself or herself.

P:S: A digital bhoot can be anyone you have come across in digital planet via a chat room or a social networking site. Beware guys haa! lolaaz..

Understanding 'Kundo Pareng' (a Ningol's thought salad)

Kundo Pareng- sounds an endearing phrase right? Simultaneously tickles your unperturbed whims and fancies about that ‘Luhongba Numit' (especially for every Ningol I know it sure does). One ‘Kundo Pareng' stands testimonial to the whole event of uniting the ‘Bor' and the ‘Kanya' in our traditional Meitei Luhongba. (ahem waarido).



During my sister's marriage I have observed the ‘Kundo Pareng Lengba' ceremony by the bride. I could read my sister's blushing face and could also sense the goose bumps she was having during that particular ceremony. Besides photographing those cherishable moments of her life, I never gave any thought about the ‘Kundo Pareng lengba' part of any Meitei wedding. But watching her wedding video with some back ground sound track ‘saatloney saatlo leika fanna saatlone kundo leiraang leinungsi..' tickled the lulled feminism within me and forced some unnoticed smiles upon my lips. That was one particular moment when I started igniting a keen research upon the Meitei Luhongba style like never before (yabrane). Some garlanded thoughts today remixed with that long forgotten feeling and pampered me to post this blog sezzzz.



Well, I still don't have any idea whether ‘Kundo pareng lengba' will be quite a top-notch moment amidst the entire series of hulla-bulla events during my wedding in the making. However, I am very much sure of myself that no matter what and how I will never garland my most precious ‘Kundo Pareng' to the wrong guy who doesn't deserve it (chaahey kuch bhi ho jaaye HARGEEZ NAHI) lolzzz...



I would love to continue this blog but alas I don't have any more stuff to add since I am still Greek to so many things about ‘Luhongba'. So, let this be an unfinished blog until I grasp some more fresh ideas.





N:B: Unleashing some typical whims and fancies via a blog doesn't sound a bad idea right???...(lolz) yabrane?????

Know Men or NO Men--whatever here are some tips to keep in mind before you finally go around with a guy

(This is for each and every Ningol who is looking out for a guy to date)


1. Say no to sweetus. Never go for a guy who talks sweet and says yes yes to u all the time. Sweet are the uses of adversity (ahem).

2. Keep mild expectations.Between anticipations and realization there are miles of steps and procedures to cover up. Make sure you don't expect much so that it takes lesser steps to reach the promised destination ehh. Girls generally raise more expectations than guys though each girly expectation speaks about a meaningful content.


3. Give him time. Men need time to commit themselves. They are not some ready-fishes all set to be fried in the heated pan. They like it when you are patient. ((((((((((twist of the tale here)))))) to be honest enough you are not giving him time, he is instead giving you time to decide (sssh mode).

4. Try some make-belief plays, they work. Men always want to believe that they are superior and that they can afford themselves to be emotionally relied upon. You just have to make sure that you are a little dramatic and yes act stupid (remember act).

5. Hold the key to unlock his every whim and fancy. Once you do so he will always loiter around you as he thinks you know him more than anyone does. He will follow you like a sweet cuddly puppy. All you have to take care is a timely dose of the fourth rule again least he comes to realise the same lolaaz.



I don't have a habit of sharing more than 5 rules per blog. Rest of the tips will be uploaded on request (khi3).



Bye bye!
