Counters to the 'Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order' by Rajkumar Panthoiren

" When the longing grows, it will hurt to death. But because we have our memories, I'll smile."  - (*t.*)

chingjao manasu ukhibani
uful thangba lambi masu
achikpa chirol ni
nggisu eigisu
amata oina

wangma amadagi amada
tam dagi thaplaga khun amada
chingjumgi laija lotpa mafm duda

lotkhiba waridi halkkani
manglan da amuk amuk
eshei oina saktuna epaose
thakhibani malangda toina
ningsing tellang-ga da haktuna
numidangwairam khuding

kaonagumsi
ningsingnasi haina
ningsingnasi haina

  

the blue hills saw it

the dusty path too

a quiet whisper ‘twas

yours and mine

converged as  one!

From this side to over there,

from the plain to the far-off hills,

to the place where the cool blue

fountain water hides.

those tales hidden

would return

in dreams every now and then

without any word of caution

Strung together as a song,

engraved on the kite of

remembrance

my wishes and longings

sent I have to where you’re.

every evening when dusk arrived

Praying..

wishing..

not to forget ever,

to remember ever.

Conjoined by sadness

Fused by familiarity

Of belonging to that same place

that same street of life ,

that aching melody of reverberating silence.

Of paths trodden over and over again,

Of this lifetime,

Maybe more.

Is this our eternity, dear?

It's winter
It's cold
Christmas is just few days away
I've counting on my cute looking fingers.

Haven't taken bath for today
coz I am stuck wondering the whole day
Why Pacino and Cohen feel so familiar
Why they look so similar?
Do I care?

Yes, I do.
Are they blood brothers of the same familia?

No me importa
No me importa
Yo sólo les encanta

But more importantly,
Where are yah, my dearie?
And
where am I?

keep your hair long
keep it messy, leave it undone
spare the beard
listen!
the fiddlers gonna swim
make you glide through the waves

'cause sunshine and dust
stars and boats
waves and thunderbolts
dreams and tears
long kisses and cold, hushed goodbyes
rain drops leaking from the roof
through your heart
and this smile of mine
have a lot left to say!

'cause we dream while we sing
like this
and this,
till we heave a sigh of emotion
till we breathe, my friend!
till we breathe, my foe!

till the last song of dusk
i was promised long ago when i was born
under this sky full of folk songs and lullabies
full of my dreams and yours

full of the scattered bits of you and me
we lost touch with
long, long ago...

The whole world lights up
and all of heavens too (!)
When you and I get stuck
somewhere along the continuum.
In the cosmic void
of belongingness,
somewhere the echoes of truth ring
Like yonder bells that toll
While we're lost deep in quiet slumber
And catching dreams from the stars!

Shed away your scars
Wear them
But do shed them away, will yah?

I, your friend, have come here now
To be your strength!

We're gonna be the 
supernova
bursting into luminous glory,
Caressing the galaxy.
We would be lighting up the skies,
Echoing deep in outer space
And leaving behind a stardust trail.

You and I, we will be burning
But we'll be never-ending.

Let this truth stay, my dearest.
Let it ever stay.
