I was going to redirect you to Nita's blog and article on how mainland India tends to neglect the North Easterners, but then I saw that you have already posted the same comment there too. I very much empathize with you. From whatever limited interactions I have had so far, I found North Easterners to be quite friendly, and warm. I myself don't understand why they're treated differently. Just having Oriental looks is a ridiculous justification. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Pls those of you reading this I encourage you to tell more about the NE people and our culture to your friends and family members( make them aware that we are very much part of India though the indian government avoided us for so long, long time..

There are a couple of things I'd like to mention about my personal experiences after staying in bangalore for 8 years. Yes, one reason why a lot of people isolate themselves from the northeastern people is because of the oriental/asian looks that we possess. Another reason that is partially true which is the language barrier... Pls do not misunderstand me....majority from the northeast are reserved by nature(lol) and therefore, a lot of other indians think we can't communicate with them at all... Try us... we can speak English....or HIndi for that matter... Also, I've had people asked me where's nagaland, manipur, or darjeeling, mizoram or even Assam for that matter... At that point of time, my only response would be... get back to high school and you'll get all the informations... Majority of Indians from the mainland will agree with me.. that is.. if you take one step toward a northeasterner, he/she will take 2 steps to receive you...This proves and shows our hospitality... The truth of the matter is,people rarely try us which is ofcourse sad...So, the next time pls take the initiative to befriend(positive term) a northeasterner and see the result..... last but not the least, I've also had a lot of friends from down south say that people from the north are generally haughty and by that they meant to say the Delhites.. and again, pls Delhites don't take it in other sense...it's just vice versa... the delhites think that people from the south are haughty..you know it goes on...Therefore, to every indian I'd like us to open up our minds and thoughts and take the initiative in being hospitable to everyone..After all, we are all humans and we need friends and not enemies... We are all strangers on this planet.. which means all of us have to go one of these days(death).. Hi guys, thanks for sharing all your views,ideas and thoughts which really makes me happy because atleast the norteastern people are talked about here....If this note seems funny or if it has angered you pls forgive me...

In case you didn't read it before, Krish considers me as his <a href="http://skeptic.skepticgeek.com/wp-admin/comment.php?action=editcomment&c=408" rel="nofollow">twin brother</a>. His blog is quite Indian and Tamil-centric, but it packs such a great deal of humor that it's like a monthly anti-unquiet shot at once. Unfortunately most of his humor is Tamil and Indian centric, so as a Maharashtrian, sometimes even I miss out on the fun! Aikaterine: Krish and Rambodoc always makes me laugh.

My friend has made many lamb dishes, I wasn't expecting anyone to know. I am on the second day of my yearly three week fast, so I was just hungry.
