Is your mind at fault for your chronic back pain

This column is a kind of new prescription to rid people the heebie-jeebies of one of the greatest disabilities and socially superfluous blob of chronic back pain. With zero options to treatment psychotherapy has become a sobering prose. It’s based on a book Back to Life by David Rogers, a physiotherapist at the Royal Orthopaedic […]

Man can create babies from skin cells without woman

Having shared and immersed, gluten-intolerance style, about political developments in Manipur with a bunch of strangers with their Pride and Prejudice  and with intimate conflicts about class and tribalism, like JaneAusten-go-to Imphal, I am back to my favourite subject of science with the greatest hidden secrets, parking silently in the most unlikely places, like people […]

Would you like to live 100 years – in Manipur

TRIBUTES: The day Manipur stood still: Tuesday, August 9 2016, when Irom Sharmila Chanu gave up her fast after 16 years, by overcoming the mental conundrum she was faced with, without her mind scarred and heart damaged as an ‘Iron Lady’. She is the bravest of the brave. The true essence of courage for a person is to feel the terror and manage to overcome it. She has done the right thing.

Advantages of private school education in Manipur

This coming-of-age story of Manipur feels like a familiar terrain to my own life. The best gift parents can give to their children is a good education. When one’s children fail educationally, a dustbowl of disappointment opens up before the parents.
There is now evidence in Manipur that private (independent) schools are better than state schools as presented by trends in parental choice of private school education.

The fastest growing religion – irreligion

‘And Then There Were None’. In my attempt for TSE readers to catch up with topical tips in the world of “irreligion”, I am borrowing for effect, a cheerless title from Agatha Christie’s novels – ‘And then there were none’. Like the plot of her novel it is about the complete disappearance of European nuns and probably religion?

Meiteis as ‘OBC’ – cheated out

The way I write my columns is intended to educate youngsters, remembering my college days, and even more importantly, to entertain, with a mix of informative texts and imagination, achieving a balance between humour and fact. I am not usually scared by little things. Little does not cut me to the core or strikes a visceral fear. But, an order of the president of India that impugns Meiteis to the OBC caste, strikes me endless fear of irrationality. Because Meiteis are helpless.

This Manipur – so much of knuckle dusting

I see friends shaking hands, saying how do you do and I say to myself what a wonderful world – sang Frank Sinatra. This is what we want to see in Manipur; chingmee (hill people) and Tammee (valley people) shaking hands as friends and equals; and we say to ourselves what a wonderful Manipur.

The burgeoning Imphal city – bird’s eye view

PROLOGUE: Pursuant to news – Ibobi trumpets Sports & Culture (TSE, April 29 2016), could the development of Ningthoukhong Temple complex include a memorial plaque to Manipur’s first doctor Thokchom Goberdon Singh, who hails from Ningthoukhong. I attended him when he breathed his last and died of a good old age.
