Khuramjari!


Greetings! Khuramjari!

An ordinary daughter to an extraordinary father and a powerhouse of her time, my mother. 
Lived 32 years on this planet. Achievements so far? Survived the world and it's ways and Positively Happy. Aspirations? Many.

Why am I here? Because I want to be here once again, Life has come full circle in ways and I am back to this blogging space after a gap of maybe 10 years. Life happened to me in between, not the usual ups and downs but zig-zag ('s), curves and speed breakers( which broke a few things apart from the speed!). 
Where am I? Right where I’m supposed to be at this point in my life. Have you heard of Imphal? Yes? Pat on the back!  This is where I was sent by the Universe (yes I believe in all that 'universe conspiring to help me' kind of theories) in the beginning of my journey, and now I'm here again after living in different parts of the country. And as I write this, I realize, there was always a part of me that wanted to be back here (the universe kept listening I guess!)

What now?  I’m starting out, again, because it is always a good idea to just start. I'm starting this new platform to write. I'm starting, to fill in positivity in my life. And I’m starting to receive!

What next? I continue to write, about this city that’s mine, and anecdotes and stories from my life here.
I welcome you, whoever is reading this, with all my happy energies, and may it fill your life with happiness too!

Something is Steaming hot right now!

How did I find it? No it wasn’t ‘by chance’ on insta, or Facebook. Here’s the story… On one of our lunch hour meetings V and I decided to crash at a nearby café or restaurant for a quick bite. It was his find actually. On his way back from work, he would notice a tiny little place on the first floor of Hotel Kombirei, on Rims Road. What Timber did to me, I guess this little café did to him! And I couldn’t be gladder that we stepped into that café on a day when the weather was perfect. Dark clouds, a cool breeze spell perfect weather for me. So we climbed the stairs to what would soon become the stairway to “the most delicious comfort food’ heaven! Welcome to Steaming Mug! The décor is rustic with its blue-grey walls adorned with posters that prepare your mood. Planters are aplenty around the two floors which for a lover of greens is a delight. The seating is casual with a blend of wood and our ‘Phak (a kind of mat made of reed) cushions’ ( Kauna Phak) ) for added comfort. The...

It all starts..

I managed to get my mind around the thought of getting married and settling down here, in Imphal. And I owe it to my love, my fiancé. He made me believe in love again and looking at him I feel secure, assured and at peace. Ahem, I’ll save the mush for some other day, right now, down to business because I have started this blog after a lot of things have already happened and I   need to catch up writing about so many things! Anyway, this post is about the beginning of it all. The formalization of the bond that we created. What happens and my journey through those few days. It is a little difficult now that I have to write about them retrospectively but I’ll try my best. So, once the boy (let’s call him V) and I made up our minds, I told my parents. My mother was over the moon, she was more excited than me I think. My aunts and sister too were elated, because it was finally happening for this 32 year old girl :P V’s mother called up my Indomcha ( aunt), to fix a date to c...

All that glitters is not gold, but oh so beautiful!

This journey of preparing for the wedding day and after, has been something very enriching for me. It is less of wedding shopping and more of an intimate moment with my culture and roots and I am loving it. I have been wondering if I am normal, because I am not stressing, I am chilled out and not panicking about all the shopping (just hope I didn’t say it too early!). Considering that the day falls in December this year which is a few months away now (3 months to be precise) and a lot of things still pending, I think I could have been over the edge about the preparation, getting the decorators etc. But I am not. So when I think about it, I realize that I owe this coolness to the very process, which is close to a spiritual experience for me. I don’t see the preparations as a task, I see it as a journey, and I want to be aware of my thoughts, feelings and the things around me as I go about the preparations. ‘Nuff said, let me get to the thing I am writing about today. Did you gue...
