The Bits In One Pot

You were supposed to pick the Asics pair, but the mind is still trapped in that bonk. At the florist, you weighed words and lines. You must have stood there for hours staring at the words, the lines and then the distant face.

What did you get? This widening hollow in which the writer in you kept sinking. You thought it would be nice if she could come, even for once, after all the bitterness, to look at you and to look at what you have curated for her.

The morning caffeinated person says the bonk belongs to yesterday. Oh, yes the trainers, and the mist-engulfed track where you barely recognise faces. You meant to go, you wanted to jump off. The emergency exit couldn't be pulled off; you wished had done so holding that book in which the person's occupation is thinking, yes, you have been thinking. But you haven't made money with the thinking. Why those three-piece suited 'gentle folks' and the ever-smiling few shower you all the reverence a medieval knight would have been bestowed by the plebs? It distracts and alienates you, further. 

They have come in bits from here and there, and the thinking filters it. The shoes are not mere footwear, one had to know the craft; even the ceramic bonk is no lesser than the Sultan's, you see, you are thinking and when you deliver those few words you measure them like that smooth round pebble you would carry in your pocket; then you look at the world, the people of happy faces, weeping lots, or the melancholy ones, just like that child's face; and there are those who can stand the banters and the puns.

So what do you? How do you conduct yourself? Should you be talking fame? But they say they scratch each others' back. What about that classroom, their minds are too young; you don't want to corrupt them. Oh, yes, there is also the desk where you spend hours with the red pencil and approve with your fountain pen. Perhaps it's the age.

An Outlier In The Wrong World

Delhi was once Chinglen’s ‘cradle of love’. With his student years over and the love that once comforted his stay has come to a tragic end, he is seized by a strong urge to flee the city. Run as far as he can from the memories of love. As a costly escape is beyond means, he returns to Manipur, a place long marred by protracted violence, a failed revolution, an engineered incessant political chaos, and already neck-deep in corruption. Perhaps to lick his wounds and hide with the beguiled sense. That the distance and the rich bizarre should shield him from the very memories sloshing thick inside him. His attempt to keep himself engaged as well as to make a meagre living lands him a shoddy journalist job and the opportunity to pursue a PhD at the state's only university. In the absence of his laidback editor and opportunistic professor, he teaches himself some degree of creative writing and dabbles in academia. As he moves further into the labyrinth, he learns the hard way that trying...

Dream of Beliefs

Seeking quiet corners In the silence of the city By day, by night, Even in the stillness of late hours I carried you. To pursue, to court, And finally, to know If it was mine Or ever would be. I remember Tossing, turning, Muttering to myself, Searching for signs While gathering words. Then, one rainy day, I believed I had it. The dream was mine. Twenty years have passed With the dream, In another city, Where silence and inner peace Slip through my grasp. Penury and ill-fortune Trail me like shadows, Reminding me How fragile, how futile The pursuit can be. Often, I wonder: Have I failed? Is my back now pressed Against the walls Of this city, Of life itself? It is dreadful. It is disheartening. Yet I have nothing But this dream: A flickering flame, A roaring inferno, A monster trapped within. I am no one No titles, no claims, Only belief to shield me, And a longing For a place in the world. After all these years, Oh, dream of mine To possess you Is to know who I am, What I can be. And st...

Revised Edition of Tales of Human Mischief

Tales of Human Mischief   by Nameirakpam Bobo Meitei is a poignant collection of short stories set against the backdrop of Manipur, also known as Kangleipak.   The anthology delves into the lives of ordinary individuals whose experiences are shaped by the region's prolonged civil unrest and armed conflicts.   Through rich prose, Meitei brings to light the often-overlooked narratives of those affected by systemic violence and societal upheaval. ​ The stories encapsulate a range of human emotions and experiences: a mother's lament for her lost child, the silent suffering of a young soul molded by surrounding violence, the humiliation endured by dishonored victims, and the pervasive fear of those yearning for salvation.   These narratives reflect the extremities of terror and human brutality, painting a vivid picture of a society grappling with moral decay and existential despair. ​ Meitei's writing is characterized by its melancholic tone and introspective depth. ...
