Who he was to us ?

Today, I was unable to attend an important class for coaching that I had truly hoped to be part of. Due to my MamMa (maternal uncle’s) illness, I had to travel urgently to SHRI, Langol under unexpected circumstances.

Not everyone may fully understand the strong bond I share with my MamMa. The care, guidance, and sacrifices he has made for our family mean more to me than words can express, and I remain deeply thankful to him.

In 2013, my father passed away. Later, in 2018, our only aunt, who remained unmarried and chose to dedicate her life to caring for my brother and me. During the challenging times our family faced toward the end of 2018 and in 2019, my MamMa stood firmly by our side and supported us with strength and wisdom. His presence during those moments shaped who we are today.

Ohhh ! wait...
The story takes another turn here. What happened to our family in 2018 is something I will share someday, when the time feels right. For now, let me come back to the present ...to my MamMa illness.
I kindly request you to keep him in your prayers and send your good wishes for his speedy recovery.

Missing this class feels meaningful because it was an important step in my personal and career journey. I joined it with clear purpose, and while being absent was difficult.

I continue to stay hopeful and prayerful. I believe in his strength and I trust that better days are ahead.

I sincerely hope and pray that he regains his health very soon.

Yaoshang Diaries

Yaoshang is one of the most beautiful and meaningful festivals celebrated in Manipur. It is observed for five days during the spring season and begins on the full moon day of the Manipuri month of Lamta, March. For the people of Manipur, Yaoshang is not just a festival; it is a time when communities come together to celebrate tradition, friendship, and the joy of being with one another. The festival begins with a traditional ritual known as Yaoshang Mei-Thaba . Just after sunset, a small straw hut is burned in every leikai or locality. This symbolic act marks the official start of the celebration. Soon after, children begin visiting houses to collect small monetary donations called Naka-Theng. It is a simple but heartwarming tradition that spreads happiness among children and elders alike. Yaoshang is truly the most important festival of my beloved state. Every year people celebrate it with excitement through sports competitions, music, dance, and social gatherings. During these five ...

Topic : Yet to be known

Hello ! 23.01.2026  I went out somewhere to find a little peace and calm. At around 11:00 a.m., GN’s father and I went to the airport to pick up GN. I had already heard from him on a phone call that he would be coming from UP to Imphal three days earlier than expected. After picking him up from the airport, we went to his maternal house. There was an occasion at their place, and his parents warmly asked me to join them for a meal. I felt shy at first, but I accepted their invitation and ate with them. The food tasted really good, and the atmosphere felt welcoming. Later, his father dropped me home around 1:30 p.m. Once I reached home, I went straight to bed, opened Spotify and YouTube, listened to some songs, and soon fell asleep for a short while. At around 5:00 p.m., I went to attend one of my high school colleague’s wedding ceremonies at Wangkhei. After that, we all gathered at the groom’s house. I met many friends whom I had not seen for years, and the moment felt truly amazing...

February : A Mercurial month of Flashbacks

It's February... Oh !!! time never stopped as long as one was alive; it kept flowing endlessly like a river stream. People who lived a good and happy life often worried about how quickly time flew by. But paradoxically, for those living with depression, severe health issues, or deep suffering, time felt mercurial . They did not really care about how fast time passed. Instead, they kept thinking about when their suffering would finally end, wishing time would move faster so they would not have to endure the pain for long. During that time, BT and I were called by Madam to our former college to do some work in the Mathematics Department. The task was related to organizing mathematics books that were to be kept in the library. We had to re-write all the details properly : the book titles, authors, publishers, references, and codes. BT checked and read out the details carefully, and I wrote everything neatly in the register book. Having that work made me feel like I finally had somethi...
