Manipur Calling

Manipur is one of the most charming places of India. Described as the jewel of India, it is one of the seven states of North-Eastern India referred to as the “Seven Sisters”. Nestled in the foothills of the Eastern Himalayan ranges, Manipur shares its borders with Myanmar in the East, Nagaland in the North,Assam in the West and Mizoram in the South.The people here speaks the Manipuri language locally known as ''Meitei lon''. Manipur is credited with introducing Polo to Europe. Manipur, has got the Loktak Lake,Circular fish-farms and floating villages made of weeds and grasses are the most unique feature of the lake.

Naturally, fishing is the most important occupation of the people of Manipur.People here are simply amazing.They will eat whatever they find.They led a very simple life.The people here are very friendly and their way of respecting people and their elders are highly appreciated here.

As beautiful as the place is, they have certain strict do's and dont's.If you by chance hit an animal say a pet,drive as fast as you can or else the angry crowd with just beat you up.If you do not wish an elderly person it's considered impolite.Never argue with old women here or be ready to be in hospital.

Now I hope if you visit Manipur you know what to do right?.Though People are very good at hospitality.They are known for that.I hope you enjoyed my blog.

Stranger's foot

My blog is called as stranger's foot.It's been 9 months since I was away from my home town, To this new place which might be described as the city of dreams.My blog is completely based on my very own experience.I enter my new life that is to be lived by,with many challenges.Actually it is a world that is upside down from my home town.It is completely different from Manipur. I find many amazing things. It was completely different for me.The people,environment,way of life everything is different to me and a new thing to me.But as time goes on I began to get the concept of being in this city.I had a difficult time tying to fit in in this place.
I had to follow certain strict rules to survive in this city of dream.I was admitted to one of the best college in Mumbai. My travel is through train which takes me one hour to reach,I had a great time enjoying the ride.One thing thing that I learn is that never be a kind girl when it comes to getting off or getting in train...because if you do that then you're looking for trouble.People will simply push you and will hurt you.And you can never give a bus driver a 100 rupee note for he won't return until the last stop.Never ever try to argue with the rikshaw drivers,they always win and you will find yourself as a fool.And one important thing is the traffic...It drives me crazy.It really is irritating.Because of the traffic I had to be always one hour ahead of schedule.I would never buy a car for myself even I had a chance to.
Even though I had such difficulties I am happy and enjoyed living here.I liked the people a lot. I got the best college ,students,friends,not to mention my two awesomest teachers.They are so cute and good to us.
I know now that if I had to be someone in my life,I had to struggle alot. Life is full of miseries we just have to overcome them by challenging them.I hope you enjoyed reading my blog.
