ILP – Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Bihari migrants have taken Manipuri surnames – someone has issued the papers.
Bangladeshis and Nepalis besides other non locals, possess local residential certificates and voter ID Cards– someone has issued the papers.

Be Careful Of Honey Trap By Sharks Disguised As Dove
“You are late for the school”, my mother would growl at me every day and that’s how the day would normally begin.

How would she eat on her own I fussed. When the day finally...

I don’t know whether she feels sorry for my indifference. The reason...

Oh, No Comments On Manipur
About two months ago, a sultry July afternoon played host to some oldies of Manipur with ripe delicious mangoes and luscious pine-apples to my house. The purpose was solely for the rejuvenation of the waning friendship of ten of us with receding hairlines and grey patches who had seen seventy winters of triumphs and tragedies of life. It was nice to see my childhood friends, my high school and college...
