5 States Memoirs- Manipur by Vissochon and Mandy!

-

 This week on 5 States series, I cover the Ukhrul District of Manipur as described by my friend, Vissochon!




And then, surprise surprise! We also have another memoir from a friend of mine who is from Imphal, Manipur!




Well, I tried to do this blog in MS Word but it got deleted and then the pages were just not ready to align, just like my life lol!

But I hope I did enough justice to both Vissochon and Mandy to showcase their unique culture and place. Thankyou for taking out time to share your answers.

Next week we will have the final memoir of my beautiful friend and roomate; Shivangi from Ranchi, Jharkhand. 

Till then,

Love and Light,

Priya

The Morality Compass

    I would like to say it all starts with a blank page and writing is catharsis. That's it. Today's blog is going to be posed with a lot of questions. It is all open ended, which means that it is subject to multiple perspectives... and none of them are wrong or right....just a difference of opinion. I strongly encourage you all to let me know your answers in the comments below, so I can know the meaning of life deeper as I hope you might also come to know as you read this blog. Now there are somethings that I just can't grasp. Firstly, there is so much going on in a day and  several instances; not one or two, when experienced by humans tend to shift their moral compass: provided they experience it fully.   eg: The things that bother me now never bothered me back in the day when I was 17. I used to never buy tickets for train- Because 1) no one is there to check   if I have it or not everyday. 2) Government is corrupt,  why should I pay more when they ...

  Sachin Tendulkar- Story of a street kid selling naryal paani Not the real image, taken from internet If you came here thinking this is the story of the "Sachin Tendulkar" then it was a strategy to get you to read this story and get inspired by the Sachin I met and who got me thinking if education outside school is more effective than the one with four walls.........  It all started with a coincidence. Once upon a time there was a kid who sold naryal paani and made juices and a girl named Priya was walking down the street thirsty and happened to stop by his stall rather than a train of other stalls, all queued one after the other equipped with naryal paani.  She started off with a demand for the service of quenching her thirst and as usual, started to make small talk as all strangers do. "Do you go to school kid?" she asked. "No, school is not for me" the kid replied. "Do you like your naryal paani?" he asked, with confidence. Before jumping to...

  Teaching Life Lessons by Master- A Martial artist, spiritual educator, Martial Arts Guru Also like a Grandfather I never had. Snippet from my diary: 22nd July, 2024- On the day of Gurupournima. Whenever master has a dialogue with someone, he tells them some pieces and these phrases from the interaction with him stays with them forever. I got mine once when master called me after I had anchored on the annual day and he said to me " chahe kuch bhi ho jaye, rukna mat...aage badhte rehna". (No matter what happens, don't stop; keep on moving on). 1) "Tum apna kaam karte raho, lene wale apneyap ayenge" (you keep doing your work, whoever wants to take benefit will come on their own). This was told to Master by his Guru. 2) " Do meditation, be stable." 3) "Be flexible." And then there are some beautiful analogies by Master: 1) When in a storm there is a big strong tree and a light tender grass.....the grass wins. The strong tree, because it is so f...
