My 4 y/o cousin is in the phase of stopping to admire things around her. Today she came up to me and said, “I like this!” and pointed to the ruffles in my dress. Oh sweet child!
Never have I ever intently listened to anyone like I did when
@ShashiTharoor
was delivering his keynote address. I soaked in every single word that left his tongue. “Hope can’t be granted after a series of failed promises”, keeps ringing in my ears. What an awakening experience!
As a woman, my body went into a state of shock and numbness when I saw the video of the 2 Kuki women paraded and their bodies violated by the mob. It is not even a matter of communal hatred or ethnic conflict, but a violation of human rights! I’m at lost for words.

Nagas shoud take this incident as the perfect opportunity to push forward revoking

for the good of the Nagas now and for the future!
Easier said than done but we have to start somewhere. Enough is enough!
A gateway to educating and making people aware of our people, culture, location, and many more. One step closer to end racism on NE people.

A year ago, I witnessed a lineman get electrocuted because of lack of proper safety equipments.
Today, I witnessed a lineman being lifted up with the help of this carrier to fix some wiring. How such improvements and efforts often go unnoticed. Kudos to Dept of Power Nagaland!
People should stop selling fund raise lottery tickets altogether. No! I don’t want to buy that ticket. Raise funds by actually making/preparing smth worth buying.
Also, churches should realise that selling such lottery/raffle ticket is technically gambling.
Too many kids driving recklessly in Dimapur. On my way to work, a car hit the back of my car in the busiest intersection of town. I could manoeuvre through traffic w/o hitting the vehicle infront of me, imagine how close this kid was driving behind me. A 19 y/o in school uniform.
Today I am grateful for the delivery men/women who work tirelessly through hot and rainy days with bags 4 times the wt. of their body, manoeuvring through traffic and potholes every single day. Maybe on a hot day, offer a glass of water when they bring your packages to you. 💗
It takes 10 people 3 days to segregate 4000kgs of Solidwaste. Cities like Dimapur and Kohima generate about 80-100 Tonnes of waste/day which makes it utterly IMPOSSIBLE for the sanitary workers employed to segregate it everyday. SEGREGATION AT SOURCE by citizens is that important
Love language:
Mom leaving buckets of cold water filled in the bathroom in the morning for dad to use. Dad doing the same in the afternoon for her to use after coming home from work, right after pumping up water as running water post noon is too hot to use these days. 💜
Such a privilege to sit down with

and the potential of the state to contribute towards addressing the UN SDGs expressing the need to build capacity for community-centric scalable start-ups and solutions
If we can learn about where Ayodha is , where the highest milk producing states are located, etc., people should also know about where the Land of festivals is located, what Bihu is, and where the cleanest state in India is located and many more.

We should really refrain ourselves from using our traditional attire as “decorative” items to cover tables, stages and podiums. It is to be used to adorn our bodies with pride as it defines our unique ethnic identity & showcase our artisans’ talents.

Just witnessed two police cars chasing and arresting a runaway who was riding a Scooty. Hats off to the Nagaland Police driver for knocking down the two-wheeler. I’ve never seen that level of precision in knocking smth over but not hurting anyone in the process. Mad Skills!!!
Even though the fireplace is always the first place I huddle up to whenever I am in Kohima, I have never tried my hand at starting a fire because I grew up in a place where a fireplace was a rare addition in rented apts. After a 10mins smokey affair, this was my first win!
Dimapur Town GMS Eco-club students nurture plants to be sold at very affordable price to fund the club activities. I bought this with ₹50. Plant nurtured by Letao of class 8. 🌱 Great initiative.
Super excited to be a part of creating innovative solutions for SDGs through this platform with the other global talents. Sitting at the edge of my seat until December!

Rarely you come across pedestrians giving you a thumbs up or a wave (thank you) for stopping your car & letting them cross the road. Those are my kind of people. I am also people.
After an interactive session on career counselling @ DPSDimapur, I can proudly say that we will be witnessing a generation of professionals, entrepreneurs & developers/analysts in the IT (software) sector. At their age, during my time, we were struggling to be Docs & Engineers.
A responsible tourist takes waste generated by them back with them after treks or camping in rural tourist destinations. Villages should not be pressured to handle waste NOT generated by them. A sensible local tour guide should also ensure that the waste leaves with the visitor.
Very unfortunate that a student leader lost his life in Tizit while he was just doing what he felt was his duty as a leader. However,tackling drug menace in the society is the duty of the narcotics or police division who are skilled mentally & physically to handle any situation.

because of the exorbitant prices, but it is the poor costumer service that throws me off. Some do not respond on time and delay delivery even when we have reached out to them way ahead of time.
The familiar scene of men on top of the sumos brings flashbacks of my numerous trips to-fro Phek. Some fond memories of conversations with the locals as we patiently waited for the roads to clear(landslides)& some not so fond ones of drivers playing the “Who will be first?” Game.
After playing the cat and mouse game all week, these party workers and “supporters” will all go to church tomorrow to seek blessings for their candidate. Tsk!

I’m not watching the matches but assessing the direction of the match from my room based on the level of screams and loud groans from my neighbours’ houses. I guess it’s not going too well for the Germans tonight.

Hands down, the electricity and mobile networks in Nagaland have the strongest relationship.
The current walks out and the mobile network follows.
So clingy!
When the rest of the world is busy building solar plants Nagaland has already invented the flying electric post which doesn't give a f**k about the law of physics 🤣😂

No one should feel obligated to apologize for something they did not have in control. Stigmazing and playing the blame game is getting out of control and over rated now. I'm just happy that he is better. Even though the apology wasn't necessary,let's be more empathetic.

When I gift my parents anything, they make me feel guilty for spending that amount first before accepting it.
Is it just my parents? Or are yours normal?
My dad is the epitome of a stereotypical boomer gen father. He’s unaware that I am lactose intolerant. Who is gonna tell this cute old man that when he excitedly comes to my room to tell me that he bought milk for my breakfast? Uh uh! Not me. 🙂↔️
As a recently recovered dengue patient, some tips to treat yourself at home along with the prescribed meds.
1. Fluids is the answer! Every 30-40 mins a glass of fresh juice (I had pomegranate and beetroot) really does wonders to keep you hydrated and keep hb levels enriched! 1/3
Provisions in Article 371A that protects

so much so that we do not need to justify our actions, behaviour, habits, culture, traditions and identity to any living soul in our country. Think about how much we have compromised that now.
Friends who are Covid +ve share about the mental pressure they are going through. More than the virus killing the person physically, the stigma surrounding a patient and their kin kills mentally. That is messed up! Why can't the "society" just mind their business?!
Above all, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Naga Artists at the concert last night. Why bring in (overpriced) artists from outside when we can promote our local artists within our own state. Amazing performances, music arrangements & great stage presence. 💯
My sisters are those people who will set the alarm and not wake up when it rings. In his desperation to shut it off, my dad wrapped my sister’s phone in a towel this morning as he couldn’t figure out how to turn the alarm off 😂
In coversation with a farmer (in one of the project villages), he remarked, "People in the towns and cities know so much about

but it is us who experience it first hand." Can't stop pondering on it.

I’m such an embarrassment to myself. Whenever anyone offers me food, I don’t decline the offer and I eat like I have been starving myself for days. (Even when I have just had a meal.)Tsk!
