    View all responses

    I usually avoid snacks or fruits and prefer sustaining myself throughout the day with water and substantial meals, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s a habit of mine to enjoy meals comprising rice paired with either vegetable or non-vegetarian curries. Occasionally, I do indulge in cravings, especially for sinju, a Manipuri mixed vegetable salad with fermented fish, or some occasional treats like chips or churros. However, I am a big fan of chicken-based dishes, particularly those from popular establishments like KFC and Chicking.

    So, right now I would not like to eat anything, Or may be I may like to eat some sinju if my friends are with me. Else I don’t crave for anything right now.

    Surprisingly, I am attached to an old hair clip. Though I don’t have long, pretty hair, I still want to adorn it with a lovely clip. Whenever I travel, I always get myself a hair clip as a memento. Isn’t it weird? Unfortunately, I have only one hair clip now, indicating that I haven’t been traveling for a while. I have given some of my old collections to friends, and some are broken. I need to plan a trip soon.

    What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
    View all responses

    Who would not aspire to enjoy a prolonged life? It is indeed a blessing to experience the passage of time over the years. It would be irrational to claim that I do not desire a lengthy life, and I am confident that only a few would express such sentiments. While I do wish for a fulfilling and mature life, I am not inclined to outlive my vitality and become a burden to my loved ones, necessitating their daily care.

    In the event that I find myself in such a predicament, I would prefer a life where I can maintain my independence and relish each day without being a source of trouble for those around me. In such a scenario, I envision living a life free of regrets, savoring moments, and ensuring I leave behind no burdens for my loved ones. Witnessing the joys of my grandchildren and counting my blessings would be the epitome of a beautiful life, one that anyone would dream of experiencing.

    What could you do differently?

    I have a unique ability to prepare food in a distinctive manner, crafting dishes that may seem exclusive to my taste buds, leaving others in amusement. I genuinely find it hard to believe that people could replicate my cooking style. It’s quite amusing to me; I can’t fathom anyone else cooking quite like I do. That’s one area where I truly stand out in doing things differently in the kitchen. (PS: This food is not edible for others lol)

    The goal is to create affirmations for passersby, with a key message being “SMILE, YOU ARE ENOUGH.” In a world where many grapple with depression, low self-esteem, and fear of failure, it is crucial to affirm each individual’s inherent worth. The message emphasizes that everyone is sufficient as they are, deserving of joy. The intention is to offer solace and encouragement to those facing internal struggles, promoting self-acceptance and resilience through a genuine smile. These reminders aim to empower and create a positive, compassionate atmosphere in a society often plagued by self-doubt and negativity.

  • Why do I build dream castle?

    Daily writing prompt
    Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?
    View all responses

    Building a dream castle is the best dream I can ever have. I consistently dream about my future self and envision how it would unfold. Rarely do I reflect on the past, especially when it doesn’t seem to contribute to my future growth. I revisit the past only when I want to reminisce about joyful memories or extract lessons and experiences that can guide me in life.

    My focus on the future makes me resilient and positive. I might shed tears today and work hard, all in the pursuit of a brighter tomorrow. This positive outlook fuels my determination to endure challenges in the present for the promise of a better future.

    I’m confident that many people share the dream of a better future and are eagerly anticipating a more fulfilling life. However, I recognize that some individuals find it difficult to forget the past and let go of its hold on them. My heart goes out to them, even though I may not fully comprehend their struggles. I sincerely hope that they find solace and peace soon.

  • What kind of gift I received from people?

    I have received thousands of gifts from others, whether in the form of kind gestures or cash. Some were given out of sheer generosity, while others were presented with the expectation of a return favor. However, above all these gifts, the most precious one I have ever received is a laptop.

    I never imagined that I would receive such a valuable gift, especially from someone I recently came to know – a distant uncle who happens to be married to my first cousin. I had not known him since childhood, and it never crossed my mind that I would receive such a generous present from him.

    This laptop stands out as the best gift I’ve ever received, and I am truly cherishing it. I am well aware of the obligation to return the favor, and I have a clear understanding of what I am supposed to do. However, it seems that returning the favor will take longer than expected due to unforeseen circumstances.

    As of now, my sincere prayers and hopes are for the good health and well-being of the generous and kind-hearted person who bestowed this precious gift upon me. I am grateful for their generosity and look forward to expressing my gratitude in a meaningful way when the time is right.

  • The College that shaped who I am today

    Daily writing prompt
    What colleges have you attended?
    View all responses

    The college that I initially perceived as a jail now holds the fondest memories for me. Every single memory I have from that time is cherished, making it the best college in the state. The institution has rules and regulations governing every activity, and adherence to these rules is mandatory. Though the rules are strict and unyielding, I have come to realize their immense value in shaping my life.

    I confess that I had expressed frustration and resentment, particularly towards the law enforcement personnel in the college and hostel. However, in retrospect, I acknowledge that these rules have proven to be incredibly advantageous for my personal growth. Each rule was in place for a specific reason, and I now understand the wisdom behind them.

    My college experience was not just about theoretical studies; it laid the foundation for my life, and I am profoundly grateful for it. Engaging in Social Work studies provided me with maximum opportunities, and I have no regrets about the discipline enforced in my college, where non-compliance came with consequences.

    Looking back, I appreciate the seemingly silly mischiefs, the competitive spirits, and the laughter over trivial matters that collectively defined my college life. I owe a debt of gratitude to the college for shaping me into the person I am today.
