  • Dr Leo 🐈

    What’s good about having a pet? A pet can be annoying at times, yet if we tame them properly, they really become a part of our daily life. I vividly remember years ago when my sisters had a pet cat called LEO. At first, I was quite resistant to him; I wasn’t encouraging my sister to keep him with us. Yet later, LEO somehow got my attention. He would come and sit near me, sleep on my lap, and sometimes even massage my back and shoulders. I know, I can’t believe that LEO did that, but yes, he really did.

    He knew when I was angry, and he would also be angry with me when I ignored him or forgot to give him food in the absence of my sister. Leo would always look forward to my sister’s return from her work in the evening. Initially, I did not realize this routine. Only when my sister mentioned it, I tried observing Leo, and that is how I was taken by surprise that he waits for her every evening at the door.

    Overall, having a pet at home is good only if you are able to look after them and take care of them. If they are not taken care of or you don’t know how to look after them, then I’d say again you should not own a pet at all.

  • Can my day be done without Google?

    My go-to websites are, of course, Google and Chrome. I’ve become quite dependent on them, and whenever I have questions, I rely on them without hesitation. YouTube and Instagram also accompany me in many ways. So, like most people, these are my most frequently used websites.

    Recently, for some reason, I’ve found myself becoming more accustomed to using WordPress. I hope this is for the best, as it means I won’t waste my time aimlessly. Instead, I can use it to write down my thoughts and get lost in the words. Additionally, it allows me to connect with people by visiting their stories and thoughts. I hope this is a purposeful development.

  • Can I fast-forward my life?

    Life always holds surprises that can send your adrenaline racing and take you from rock bottom to success. At times, I find myself questioning whether I was born into the right family, society, or place. However, whether you call it destiny or fate, I believe that we are where we are today due to who we are, who we will become, and our past experiences.

    Having endured numerous challenges in life and finding myself barely hanging on, I don’t yearn to rewind or relive my life. Instead, I aspire to fast-forward to a point in life where I can genuinely say that I am grateful for my success.

    Oh how I wish life can be like a TV remote where you can fast-forward the boring never ending drama 🥱🙃

  • Super Nana!

    Let me take this chance to introduce to you my grandma, who I have held dearly in my heart but rarely discussed with others. Apart from a few, I’ve never thought to mention her to anyone. Okay! She is very dear to me. Although I spent less time with her, I can vividly remember her face and the way she adored me.

    She wasn’t educated, and she didn’t even learn to wear shoes because she found them uncomfortable haha. I often saw her singing songs (literally folk songs) for her loved ones, especially for her husband and her three children who passed away at an early age. Her profound understanding of life differed greatly from my world. She shared stories of walking miles for a week to reach the nearest town (Now Imphal). She would return with some clothes for her children. She told me about eating sweet corn instead of rice or Hao Khamui (Sticky rice bread), and how she would climb trees to protect herself from animal attacks while resting at night.

    You know, all of this happened during the 1940s or 1950s when India was still struggling for independence from British rule, and to celebration of freedom, she was there, selling some of her hard-earned crops to buy pairs of cloth to keep her family warm. She embarked on the toughest journeys to provide her family with their basic needs.

    Well, well, well… that’s it for today; I’ll continue in the next episode! 😄

  • Nemophilist

    I was born and raised in a land of rolling hills, surrounded by its breathtaking scenic beauty. My connection with these hills runs deep, so much so that I yearn for them every day when I am away in the valleys below. They have been a source of inspiration, a balm for my mind, and my teachers in the art of sustainability and accountability. Returning to this place, having explored the world beyond the valleys, fills me with immense joy. I love being here, and I’m grateful to be back. Embracing the title of a ‘nemophilist’ for myself is no source of shame; while I may not be a seasoned expert, I’ve found a very real place for myself in this love for nature.
