Mori Araj Suno

-
Mori araj suno, dastagir pir 
O my Lord, pay heed to my appeal 
(repeat)
Mori araj suno Mori araj suno
O my Lord, pay heed to my appeal
Rabba sachiya, toon tay akhia see 
My true Lord, you had said
Ja oye bandiya jug da shah hain tu 
“Go man, you are master of the world
Saadian nemataan terian daulataan nenh 
My bounties on earth are your treasure
Saada naib alija hain tu 
You are the viceroy of your Creator”
Changa shah banayaee rab saneyaan 
You made a fine king indeed, my sweet lord
Paulay khaandayaan waar na aundi eh 
All I have gotten are endless beatings
Mainu shahi naeen chaidi rab saneyaan 
I don’t want kingship, my Lord
Mein tay izzat da tukkar mangna haan 
All I need is a morsel of respect
Mori araj suno, dastagir pir 
O my Lord, pay heed to my appeal 
(repeat)
Mori araj suno Mori araj suno
O my Lord, pay heed to my appeal

Meri mannain tay tairian main mannan 
If you agree with me, I will agree with you
Teri sohn jay ik wi gal moran 
I won’t decline anything no matter how unreasonable
Jey ay sauda pujdi tain rabba 
If you don’t look out for me God
Koi aor rabba 
Then I should go and seek for myself another god

9.8.2014   We  arrived in Makhel 30 Km. south of the capital Kohima after a rough and bumpy ride on the Hero Honda Super Splendor bike .  Steering clear and keeping out  all the potholes that cover the disfigured NH 39 between Kohima and Mao,   affronted by  swarm of Indian army  convoy trucks and buses blowing storm cloud of dust and diesel fumes and tackling rude and rowdy policemen at the border checkgate  was intense both body and mind .   Sacred Banyan Tree at Makhel  Makhel is a name of a small hamlet here in Mao which also belongs to an important family of the Naga tribes with the  same name- Mao aka Ememei. My wife Akatoli was accompanying me to this short trip to Makhel.  I had first heard of Makhel from my hostel roommate  Joseph(Kaihrii) a resident of Makhel back during our post-graduation days in Shillong. Since then the legend about Makhel had always intrigued me and that feeling stayed wi...

  Tungrymbai (Fermented Soyabean) Have you ever wondered why a dog's sense of smell is so good?  If you were to ask this question to anyone in Meghalaya (the wettest place on earth), he/she would attribute it to 'Tungrymbai' or fermented beans! Tungrymbai is a popular indigenous Khasi food prepared by fermenting soybeans. Fermented beans is actually a popular food item in the culinary tradition of Northeast India.

The beans are then placed on fresh salem(phrynium pubinerve Bl) leaves spread inside a bamboo basket. The beans are wrapped, and hot red charcoals put on top of it. The beans are covered again with another layer of salem. Finally, the beans are put...
