First among Equals

By Ranita Sinha, Kolkata

Our Bishnupriya Manipuri community is gaining momentum steadily. Now, the parents do not think twice or hesitate to spend money to provide their children a better life and better education. Now, both the boy and the girl child is given the same priority. The parents are ever ready to send their children to far off places to gain better education and a better job opportunity. For this reason, now Bishnupriya Manipuri people are seen in every city of India as well as abroad.

Most of the students like migratory birds go out for higher studies and in search of better jobs opportunities, because of this they tend to stay away from their cosy home. Everybody do not want to stay away from home, while some voluntarily take the decision to settle outside, but the bottom line is that they have to stay away from home, for a better livelihood.

Most of the Bishnupriya Manipuri villages have developed. Most of the houses are well build with all modern amenities. The parents are seen to be proudly depicting the success story of their children. They are happy to see their children flourishing in life. They feel proud when their so called "Executive" son goes home in vacation.

It is necessary for any community to break free its territory and walk forward in the path of development and progress. Now, since our community is accepting it in a bulk manner, unemployment problem is diminishing day by day. Now, most of the people of other community come to know about a community called Bishnupriya Manipuri, which to them did not even exist.

Our youngsters are seen in top companies and in better positions. They are seen in IT, Pharma, Media, automobiles etc. They are seen in MNCs and also gaining fame abroad. It is really very nice to hear the success story of many. Every success story of every successful Bishnupriya Manipuri is exclusive because whatever our community people achieve is due to hard work and perseverance. We do not have anybody to back us.

When it is giving pleasure to see our community people mainly youngsters doing better in life and making a space under the sun, yet it is a concern to see the villages diminishing its young population. Most of the villages are seen minus youngsters.

The 'Star' Krishankant Sinha of Space City Sigma

By RK Rishikesh Sinha, New Delhi It is a myth that the all-knowing Internet knows everything. One such myth relates to old television stuff aired on Doordarshan before 1990. Search in Google “Space City Sigma”, the search engine would throw up reminiscent results from the people who still long for those days. Those days were really golden days. Krishankant Sinha in the role of Captain Tara in Space City Singma For those who have watched Doordarshan some 15 to 20 years back, am sure they will have nostalgic memories of it. The days when possessing a now ubiquitous looking television set was a luxury. It was a neighbour’s envy product. It was a visual product to showoff, to flaunt that we have a television set . Those were the days when black and white, locked television was rarely found in homes. The days became immortal for teleserials like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Swami’s Malgudi Days (Ta-Na-Na-Na…), Ek-Do-Teen-Char (Title song: Ek do teen char, chaaro mil ke saath chale to ...
