Shield

I will write this Blog for all the ''Christian'' folks out there. I would like to explain or rather discuss about the word 'shield', this word is the most essential thing in this fast growing world.

If we could refer to Battles being fought with shield or even watch any war movies where they use 'traditional' weapons. We know that, the one with skills to shield or even use weapons always wins or to put in better words 'take over/control'.

In this confuse world we live in, we should be able to use our shield and weapon skillfully, because we will be taken over with something which we might not be aware of. On the other hand, to shield all the time and not use the attack weapon, that's the fear of every christian, we are able to shield or in real terms, ignore or cover ourselves with self-righteousness. We are able to form, you might call it a CUBE where there's no opening for the people outside to see or even you cannot see whats going on, outside your shield, a fearful act, one might say!

I would rather suggest, battle out your hearts to the attackers and not only that, to all the people around you. In other words, be a true Warrior, use the attack weapon ( Sword/ Spear) to pierce through hearts and watch the spear/sword coming from an attacker and guard it with the toughest, thickest and strongest shield.

Sometimes, you might get small afflictions but that heals. We are to pierce through everything and of course with the Shield of Faith.

Great Battle.

Now.

Hello.

I am back. I will update with whats happening in life at the moment, I am still here in this beautiful city of New Zealand, Christchurch, the Garden City. We are currently experiencing winter, the trees has got no leaves and cold wind is really at its good run.
Scarcity of people on streets are relevant at this time, hot food on its best sale, Chinese food on weekend nights with the family can be seen here. Christchurch have suffered through earthquake and it is recovering at fast pace. People are very well brought together with the disaster, very helpful, contributing and most of all peaceful. With a thankful and lucky heart, i say this, the house I live in, is firm and standing where it should be.

Life is going the way it should be, i have gone up to the level of searching for a job which is related to my studies, it has come to the point where worrying is a must with the time factor coinciding with my job seeking status. To tell you the truth, NZ has got not much of fashion jobs, high scope on designing leaving out manufacturing is an ongoing scenario here, there are independent fashion brands, which are selfishly depending on their own skills dressing up the same kind to the people from ripped designs of all the fashion magazines and websites. This a kind information, saying, this is not a complain out of the frustration from job seeking, but, instead, this is a lesson for all the brand makers out there with no fashion studies and without any fashion knowledge, fabrics, colors, stitches, construction and pattern making. For simplest example, if one can thread the machine, one can use the machine. Do not use the machine, when you have no knowledge about it, otherwise, you will require another person to get involve with yours and the amount of work will increase to assist and people will go down to the status of assisting on what you want. I hope this makes sense.

On the other hand, this blog is to update where I am, at the moment, this clearly tells you that, i am looking for a fashion job. Blog can be sweeter when I get the Job, and happy with what i earn depending on what I do. Cheers.

God Bless,
Randomly, Asing

Hours of Darkness

Now, i am here standing in the midst of all these worries of life.

I will listen to God and friends.

I endure and keep all my longings bare.

I stand here with no dignity and no pride.

I feel, the eagerly and possibilities of bursting ideas.

Blind to see the road.

Handicapped with approaching knowledge.

Now, i pray wholeheartedly.

On to the next one

I am done with the things that are uneccesary, i clip them off, i stand strong, i focus into what is needed.

Or is it just the season that is keeping me running further to the next point, i am starting to feel like a little man.

I am here to say , things are made simpler if you try and work what you are suppose to be. This is what i have been feeling lately no matter how hard you try its all about the satisfaction at the end of the day. Are you well fed with the work you have done?

Lastly, i will conclude with this, i am not being over-confident, not ignoring the chain of how things work in men's life. But being myself, not outsmarting anyone, but find my way to make myself happy. I have got enough to lean on to; God, Family and Friends. I believe what they want is what I want and in what i can find joy. This simplify the fact that, you find the truth, you find the non-questionable spot, you find the real joy, you find the peace and you find the best of yourself wherever you are.

These things that i am ripping out of what i feel or have experienced, does not change anything on what your life is based on. But, i am telling you this as long as you are alive, you have questioning power and the ability. Go on explore, find the real deal.

Thank you for reading.

Shirley Boys.

Basketball, the game that i love apart from soccer.

For the past three weeks, i have been playing basketball almost every evening about 2 blocks from home, whenever i go there i get lots of people mostly kids from nearby school Shirley Boys School, they are free, joyful and get along with anybody.

They My Boys, awesome kids. Cracks me all the time. From the day we met, they keep on asking 'where am i from??'. They talk among themselves judging on my appearances, some say filipino, vietnam and combodia, even though i keep on adding my comment saying that I am Indian.

I am sure, the next time i meet them, they will ask me again, some of them with their serious faces thinking that i am playing around. Great times.

Thank you for reading.

This post has got to be random one, whatever my brain and fingertips have worked on it. For instance, i have this diarrhoea of ideas inside my head growling to be released, so it could be useless but worth revealing or releasing with no pressure applied from whichever side, at the highest point of Freedom of expression and speech.

I grew up in a small town Tamenglong, Manipur of Northeast India, which takes forever from any urban cities, for eg Imphal, the capital of Manipur, the nearest city from the town, roads connecting to it are just sickening, starting from the smallest width, dusty, bumpy and possibilities of breaking bones from collar to back spinal.
Tamenglong town is located in one of the river valleys, barak valley i believe, population would be about 1 lac or more. Obviously, the tropical part of the world, extreme heat, rain and erosions are at the highest level. Wildlife, not a dependable place for preservation, hunting/ poaching are still very common, anything that moves are not spared. It is surrounded by 6 to 7 villages , becoming the main center from selling to buying, transportation, educational centers and so on.

Enough said!!!


Now, this is about an incident where my uncle and I were attacked by hundreds of Leeches flipping their bodies wanting to suck blood. We were surrounded by these circus people, leaning on each other's back , Kerosene was spilled on the ground filled with dried leaves, burnt a big circle getting rid of the leeches and the circus act that came with it.

For this, i had to talk about my town. Love it.

Jakalabanda Jakalabanda

'Jakalabanda' a place in Assam which holds the record for 24x7 music and food corner.ummm..think so, in some random India's Limca record.
Exciting place, full of life, people who travels from Shillong, Meghalaya would probably be familiar with this place, especially people traveling by 'night super buses' to Imphal and Dimapur.

Amazingly, this place provides food for hundreds of travelers everyday, assuming the fact that 10-20 buses from different travel agencies, carrying about 35-40 passengers capacity for up to 4 to 5 destinations. At about 9.30 pm to 11.00 pm, Jakalabanda is in full swing, latest music played in their best stereos, brightest lights are put, hotel managers out in their hotel entrance yelling 'LAAA OOh'('come in' in manipuri/meitei) if buses from manipur are in their parking lot, same would be used if from Nagaland, i believe. For bus drivers, this is the only actual time of refreshing and change of driver do happen in most of the buses, most of drivers would actually refresh themselves with a glass of whiskey or any kind of alcohol, then journey continues till 5 am to 10 am depending on the destinations.

Jakalabanda is at the highest crappiest mood in day time, this place is just a 'shiny disco ball' at night, which is the only advantage of doing business in food, music and even wine stores. This place could be regarded as village at day and city at night, pretty amazing how people are easily lured and I am surprised how they continue to run the town.

Get coconuts, chocolates from turkey, middle east countries and won't recommend betel nuts, its bullshit!! tried it. Hotel food in any form or dishes, it is just tasteless, now that they have added manipuri chutney making it a little better. If you were traveling with me i would tell you to order Chapati/roti and omelette, that is the best i can get.

I am not saying that Jakalabanda is not a recommendable place, but i would highly request and may be pay you to visit this wonderfully, entertaining and one of the busiest place in India. People actually love this place.

Thank you, enjoy reading.
