a disclosure

Whenever I see an old lady
I get reminded
About my grandma and how she used to sit under the sun peacefully with gazing eyes

When life doesn’t go my way
I get reminded
Of the song “Lesson’s learned” by Carrie Underwood


When I see a family happily going to church together
I get reminded
That it has always been my dream to raise a Christian family one day

Whenever I ride my Scooty
I get reminded
About the game “Need for Speed”, especially while going slow on the curves

Whenever I see the flower Hibiscus and its leaves, sand and GI Joe, Tea sets and an empty ‘Khaini’ box, a mango tree..
I get reminded
About my childhood playtime days
(Hibiscus flowers were used as ‘oil’, its leaves as ‘paan’, tiny roads were made on the sand for the joes to have their own kingdom, Tea sets, particularly the red ones and steel ones, and empty khaini boxes were used as balance aka patla, and we’d always climb up the mango tree near my uncles place)

When I see school girls happily chatting and laughing
I get reminded
About my friends in high school. We used to call ourselves “The Mighty Queens” and we didn't have a care in the world

Whenever I wake up at 4 am
I get reminded
Of the song by Secondhand Serenade “It’s 4 am, and I’m waking up to your perfume..” not that I’m waking up to anyone’s perfume :-)

Whenever my nieces get a hair cut, the one with a fringe
I get reminded
Of my hairstyle when I was their age

@VaiVa: Nostalgic isn't it? :-) Khaini bur ruak hi luikawr leh kawng sir ah kan zawng a,kan thiamna zawng zawng hmangin patla lem ka'n siam ngei zel. I still have a scar on my left pointer finger, trying to open one that I found in the drain.

Reminders of happy times, eh? Memory is such a precious gift, isn't it? Though they make us sad at times, there's a whole lot of goodies stored there that we can dig into whenever needed.

Patla chu kan siam nasa thei keini pawh, balance dik taka siam kan han tum ve ngei a... Mizo naupang hi chu khawiah pawh khawsa ila kan duh zawng leh tui zawng hi a lo in ang deuh vek chu a ni.

I was also reminded of those happy childhood days, never care about the world around us, just happy as we were..

Yup, such things are all so nostalgic. Sets off a memory trigger in my head. Nicely written sis. And hey, its ironic that you moved from "playing with khaini bur" to "chewing khaini" now, but I guess thats the passage of time. :D
