Poet, novelist, storyteller par excellence – that’s Easterine
Kire for you. I always marvel at the way words flow so effortlessly from her
pen. She’s got this wonderful gift of spinning her tales and descriptions in
such a way that her stories are conveyed to the readers’ minds almost like a
vivid film.
As I read ‘When the River Sleeps’†, Vilie and all the
other characters came alive and I found myself living the book and experiencing
their joys, sorrows and their fears alongside them amidst the wonders of the
forest and the spirits that roamed the land. It continued playing in my mind
long after I had finished the book. What a gift to be able to weave words in
that manner!
Only in Nagaland?
Check out the December month taken from the official
Nagaland Calendar 2015 (shown above). The rows of red at the bottom indicate the
number of days that were declared as public holidays for government employees
on account of Christmas – seven days altogether, minus the Saturday and Sunday
in between.
Does it not make you blush in embarrassment just looking at
it?
I am rich……….
If you have a family that loves you, a few good friends, food on your table and a roof over your head…...you are richer than you think!
What about that!
I’m a sucker for inspirational quotes, as you might have
noticed. I use them often in my writings. There’s something about them that I
find irresistible. Perhaps the fact that they usually come from ordinary people
who’ve gone on to do extraordinary things in their lives is what makes them so
fascinating. Reading their words, their take on life, always revs me up and
makes me think.
