In 1999, something similar happened in #Kargil district of the then Jammu & Kashmir state and India defended its territory with everything that it had. How is this incursion in Manipur from Myanmar any different? Jai Hind ki sena. It's time for you to rise again.

When a friend can't meet a friend. When a hug and joyous chatter are delayed. The many perils of a war.

How can a spa match with the age old #haircare concoction, "chinghi" #Meitei make with rice water and herbs? Secret of luscious straight long hair Khongjai napi Sambrei mana Charot mana Jubakusum/Hibiscus mana Champra mana Champra maku Heikru/gooseberry Kangphal ekaithabi mana

Today a chopper flew over our house/locality so close that I nearly felt it is about to land in our courtyard! What is happening? Isn't there a standard safe distance of flying? Broke my afternoon nap! #Imphal

#LPG #cookinggas supply is dwindling in Imphal valley with supply chain effected by the feud and blockades off and on. Administration and CSO have to plan self reliance and a mechanism to overcome such control on the lives of people.

Aboksi Sana has gone beyond the rainbow today. She's taken with her the endearing way she used to greet me everytime I'd be home. She ran the breakfast hotel in our leikai for as long as I remember. #MeiteiLife #ImphalWest #Manipur #lastrites #Asti

Two products with massive advertisement but which I hated- #SugarPop and #JustHerbs. Total waste of money. Watery, lack of pigment, gets washed out easily, colors are not great. Other one consistency of cream and lipsticks too thick and they stink.

One of the most delicious meals was fresh mackeral kangsoi (stew Manipuri style) with lots of fresh coriander leaves, fried mackeral, steamed karela ametpa with some rice cooked by a friend of mine. This was my first time eating fresh mackeral and I've known it only as tin fish!

If you don't remain grounded, you are soon about to become a robot.

This October World Pulse will turn 20, a monumental moment in time. 20 years of uplifting women, amplifying their voices, connecting them to each other, linking them to resources, encouraging, believing in them, and celebrating their flight #sisterhood #womenrising #worldpulse

Grateful to be invited to speak at 20th Anniversary celebrations alongside 6 stellar women changemakers one of them seen with me from 10 years ago in Uganda. I'll try to represent sisters fm 193 countries and our experience of how our sisterhood's effected our lives #womenrising

#RatanTata passes away and its a big loss to the nation. He will forever be remembered for value based business and service to the nation. 💔

I discovered Rabbi Shergill only yesterday. Where had I been all this time? Check out Tere Bin.

It's been raining heavily in Bengaluru since morning and the sky is pitch dark. There are times we want rain, and then there are times we don't want it this much. Heard there's red alert in Chennai. 💦💧☔

Had goosebumps when this song was played at World Pulse #20th #anniversary attended by all of us beloved sisters from across the world. They say, music begins where words fail. Long live our #sisterhood which has nurtured women for 2 decades & further. youtu.be/bOmXDg1O4gA?si…

I thought I don't like the color pink only to find my wardrobe dominated by pink! What we claim about our likes and dislikes and reality can be quite different at times. #SelfAwareness #Colors

The people who tried to teach me Kannada learnt to speak Manipuri. Now a new attempt has started. To succeed I have declined their request to teach them Manipuri.

Today I forgive all those crazy people who refused housing to me by virtue of being a non- vegetarian because today I met a young man who is being refused marriage to his girl friend for the same reason. What's housing in comparison to marriage? #FoodWars

One day all your peculiar ways are going to make sense when you fit in a place under the sky which not just understands but needs and celebrates it.
