Beyond world
‘Rimfadle’, I say to old nondescript women when I cross them in the far never heard hamlets of ukhrul district in Manipur. 'Rimfadle' (hello) is the quick reply along with the innocent smile from them.The smile so full of innocence closes the lines on the faces but the energy you bet can never seems to go down.
People here would have never heard of worldly devices of modern world. Life is very basic and they are Satisfied with small happiness in small things. No TV, computer, electricity thought a yearly affair during “Christmas” is the only lightening moments in their life. And I feel some people making political agenda sitting over mass wealth under their ‘Seats ‘ should wake up and start moving to make some energies flow.
