Roaming @ Rome
Yes I am roaming @ Rome and absolutely loving it. Today I saw the famous 'Colosseum' though from a distance on our way to FAO office, we did not go inside as we had an appointment with one of the Departments at FAO. We decided to walk till FAO and on our way I saw something which looked like the Colosseum and I asked one of my classmates, is that's the Colosseum? She was like.... no it's not...its can''t be so close...but when we reached closer we all were shouting in excitement....it was indeed the "Colosseum" and we all went crazy taking pictures....m so loving Rome at the moment ...its bright, sunny and the weather is just waoooo. More updates will follow soon with pics. loads of them and till then ciao....

Happy Sajibu Nongma Panba Cheirouba
Happy Cheirouba to everyone (Photo courtesy : e-pao.net) |
Meitei Cheirouba or the new year for Meitei's in Manipur and all over the world is an auspicious day for all the Meitei's. As a kid growing up in Manipur, I loved this festival, it was the day we get to eat a really elaborate lunch...mom would always make Ooti (which is my favorite among of all Meitei dishes ) and atleast 10 more dishes, all vegetarian but really yummy, we exchange dishes with our neighbors, offer food to god on banana leaf before eating any of the special dishes and the best part was Cheirou-ching kaba after the heavy meal.
It's been many years since I celebrated "Cheirouba' at home in Imphal but every year on Cheirouba day I do cook Meitei dishes and make an elaborate meal for myself. Today I made Ooti, Champhut, Hawai thongba and Aloo kangmet with Yongchak maru. Happy Cheirouba to me and hope this new year make me work harder and brings the best of life.
