"They want a revolution... and we give them reforms. We're drowning them in reforms. Or promises of reforms, because let's face it, they're not actually going to get anything." |The Anarchist| #sanity #chaos #anarchy #truth #mask #instagram #nickzchronicles https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsv8rbJHgMt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7xj8y7ohilie

Khagi Leihao or Temple tree flower smiling after the rain. Khagi in Meiteilon means Chinese/China. I wonder if there is a story behind its name. Like it was the main flower to be offered in temples in China. But then how did it get here in #Manipur? #stories #imphal #instagram #nickzchronicles https://www.instagram.com/p/B_aLy8DneMe/?igshid=683xz6odzm70

| URBAN MIGRANT | S-1 Akoijam Tom Tom Chanu Birthplace - Imphal, Present location - Delhi |Homemaker| Tom has been away from her hometown for more than 20 years now. Her thoughts during the lockdown - The first thought I have during the lockdown is that I am so privileged to be able to stay at home and spend quality time with my family. In this fast-paced lifestyle, this is a pause where we can slow down and realise the importance of living our lives in the present and be thankful for all that we have. We are witnessing history and this is a challenge to fight the pandemic and emerge triumphant. However, my prayers for all the poor and needy who are adversely affected during this crisis. Lockdown also means the nature is healing as the pollution decreases. Crimes are less and there is calmness around. Of course, the economy is hit badly and there are many consequences of the lockdown but what's more important than one's life. After all, can't agree more to the saying ."Jaan hai to jahaan hai". I reached out to Tom that I want to start a photo series on people who are away from their hometown during the lockdown and I intend to start with people I know personally. She agreed instantly and we logged into a video call. Her young daughter, Matilda Salam, joined us in the call. She had grown up a lot since the last time I saw her. Thank you, Tom. You got me going on.

"How beautiful is the rain! How it clatters along the roofs, Like the tramp of hoofs How it gushes and struggles out." H.Longfellow #rain #respite #imphal #instagram #nickzchronicles https://www.instagram.com/p/B_CaWN9ndem/?igshid=r9f589gzrq0k

"Why do you suddenly fancy the chirping of birds?", she asked. Maybe you are now equipped to observe... to absorb. #reflections #lockdownlife #dailylife #nickzchronicles #instagram (at Imphal) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-8c7TdHutO/?igshid=tj1uxhaufbz8

Cheiraoba this year, no food of choice. No water to clean. No new clothes to wear. No ningol coming to mapam. No Cheiraoba Chingkaba No Thabal. Years of celebrations and prayers; maybe Hanu Kokchao and Hanu Leikham are not happy with what we offered. May this Cheiraoba awaken the responsibility to share resources with the less privileged. #NewYearManipur #festival #dailylife #lockdownstories #nickzchronicles (at Imphal) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-6sYIznd9r/?igshid=vs3vgwvgyh3t
