Hming : Laldingliani Sailo Member of National Womens Commission

%.N'NM!/)

Zonunmawi: Greetings, can you tell us in brief your educational history and your upbringing? Pi Dingi: I am from Aizawl. Being an army daughter, I was born in Jamshedpur and lived in several places. Did my schooling from Loreto Covent, Shillong. Pursued further studies in Delhi University from where I did BA Honours in Psychology from IP College and post graduate in Sociology from Delhi School of Economics. Later I did my M.Phil in Social Marketing of Contraceptives from Punjab University. I worked in BHEL as a Personnel Officer for 2 years after college where I did one year in the corporate office in Delhi and one year in the factory at Haridwar.

Zonunmawi: Which year did you enter the Central Service? Will you point out the most important service you have experienced? Pi Dingi: I joined Civil Service in 1979 and served in various capacities in Tax Administration in Delhi, Lucknow and Muzaffarnagar. I also served on deputation in the Ministries of HRD [Universalization of Primary Education and creation of DIETS]; Health & Family Welfare [Population policy]; and Renewable Energy [Budget, Policy and Planning relating to Solar, Wind, Biomass, Small Hydro and other renewable energy programs; created and headed the North East cell for renewable energy]. While in Tax, I consider my tenure as Commissioner of Income Tax, Muzaffarnagar very fulfilling because my work covered all aspects of tax administration on ground and working in a challenging environment of hostile climate within the department and outside. During my stint in the Ministry of Renewable Energy, Govt of India, I had opportunity to prepare the Renewable Energy Plan for NE states. I was responsible for setting up and funding renewable energy agencies in each of the NE states, e.g., ZEDA in Mizoram.

Zonunmawi: We heard that you are the member of National Womens Commission and we are really proud of you. Can you tell us in detail the work and partnership of the Commission? What is the importance of the Commission for women? Pi Dingi: The NCW is an oversight mechanism for ensuring the safety and security of women both within and outside the home; and to suggest policy at national level for upliftment of women. Mizo women are particularly disadvantaged in matters of inheritance of property and laws of marriage/divorce, as in other parts of the country. The NCW can play a persuasive role in bring about enactment of state laws on inheritance and marriage/divorce.

%.N'NM!/)

Zonunmawi: What do you think is the most important thing in order to succeed in the competitive exams? Do you think the new generations today have much to learn from the older generations? Pi Dingi: Competitive examinations like UPSC are still valued professional opportunities for Mizo students. To civil service aspirants, I would say that a lot of focussed and persistent hard work spread over 2 years should see you through. A student should also be mentally strong enough to write the examination 2 or 3 times as most people get in after 2 or 3 attempts. It is useful to be based in Delhi as all books and study circles are here. You should read from books and not from notes, unless the notes have been made by you. Read one good newspaper every day for general knowledge. Read NCERT books of class 10 or 12 for General studies. It is useful to join a coaching class as it gets you into the spirit of the examination and the right perspective.

Zonunmawi: This magazine will be read by many students. Do you have message for them? Pi Dingi: My message to the youth is that we are a small community but have a long and proud history. Honour it. Be committed to it and raise it to its highest pinnacle. Your parents have sent you here to study with their hard earned money. They have lot of hopes from you. Do not disappoint them. Be determined in studying hard and doing well. You are as good as any other student. You have the advantage of knowing the English language well. You just need to work harder. You have the benefit of exposure outside Mizoram. Take the best of it and integrate it towards a better and higher Mizoram.

does not matter to remain silent because we still perform well in exams, that the vai students mainly speak nonsense and whatnot, that they are going out of their way to please the Professors; so typical of them. Quiet true, indeed. Except that our defiant excuses never made a difference at all, and is not likely to, let alone save our asses. Need we remind ourselves that we all have taken a big step forward in coming all the way out here, to get the best (or next best) quality of education this country can provide us?. Need I say that what is customary back home do not quiet apply to many of the practices here, particularly at an University level, and that is something we ought to admit?. If out of traditional etiquette in Mizoram that we prefer not to speak out on many occasions, it is not against courtesy out here, whether in the classroom or in any other gathering, to raise questions and present our opinions and counter-opinions, suggestions, critiques, ideas and concerns inside the classroom or in seminar halls, in the presence of teachers and students, or any other audience. It seems like a big deal, but it isnt. Since I came to JNU, after a series of lectures, I realized that I need to overcome this problem. Very often it is the want of confidence, lack of preparation, and my natural timidity that prevents me from being active in the classroom. The tutorial presentations continued to scare me out of my wits, and I struggled on since it was inescapable. As I increasingly acknowledged the importance of classroom discussions in shaping our intellectual capacity and understanding, I started to occasionally interact, thanks to some Professors who made it easier for me. To my delight, I felt at ease and it gave me a new sense of purpose and be-

If there has been anything our folks lack in common when it comes to classroom interaction- I think its the guts to speak out. By folks I poignantly refer to none other than us, Mizo students, plus our fellow northeasterners, with an emphasis on us. Well, there is an unspoken agreement among us that there is general shyness, nay, sheepish hesitance that often render us mute when it is expected of us to participate in whatever sweet/boring/interesting/meaningless/pulsating/ dull/vivacious/dreadful discussion is going on in the classroom. As reluctant intellectuals, we sit by tongue-tied, listening intrigued, toying with our pens and phones, keen or bored, sometimes probably dying to escape. Fortunately (and I mean it), there is no escape most of the time. We try our best to remain in decent postures (while our bright classmatesturn-speakers make a not-so-happy audience out of us), bowing a little so as to avoid being asked questions, by the self-righteous Professor whose paper wed suddenly loathe. At some unlucky times, the unguessing Professor would chance upon us to our dismay; momentarily make our life miserable with wellintended queries to test our sincerity, or least our degree of engagement, and very few of us would come out with flying colors. At the stroke of bell (not that a bell would actually be sounded), we would hustle and chatter in the corridors, or around the canteens and lawns, justifying and empathizing amongst ourselves, boasting about our writing skills, that it really

86

DM%& !NN'!L M!(!%)N* +01,-1longing, that I was a part of the discussion, and the class at large. On top of all that, I didnt look dumb among the vai students, not anymore. I could feel their initial prejudice melting, changing, bit by bit. At the same time, I felt a fresh sense of pity for our school education back home, based pretty much on the system of spoon-feeding, that hardly encouraged us to be vocal in the classrooms, and rarely gave us opportunities to critically reflect on and analyse our studies, and pass us based on simple written inputs. No presentations, no tutorials, no classroom discussions; virtually nothing to develop our speaking skills. And here we are, competing with those with plenty of such experiences, who graduated from the best of schools; and no wonder we tend to feel relatively inadequate in their midst. But we should not be deterred, having made it to this level, by such regretful considerations and defenses. Times have changed and the present academic world is inhabited by assertive, aggressive and fiercely competent people. In order to make our voices heard, our grievances known, our works recognized, and our ideas appreciated, we have to start from the classroom by speaking up. We are living in a democratic society where discussions and debates find larger spaces each day, from washrooms to the pavement and from classrooms to the Parliament. We may come from a place where it is only appropriate to remain tacit and listen, and where selfassertion is considered bad behavior, where meaningful arguments are often brushed aside as impolite and off-the-limits, and where worthwhile discussions are hard to initiate. Usually people are not interested in intellectual discourse since ours is a young society still at the infant stage, and most issues can be settled amiably without deep deliberations. We bear
87

%.N'NM!/)

the traits of this culture, the culture of simplicity, as tribals and as backward commuities. We pride ourselves in mastering the art of socializing, of how to easily conform and relent to gain acceptance, of how not to be a bore by questioning too much, or making others ill at ease by being too curious or investigative, lest we may be sneered at or ridiculed, and by being content with having shallow knowledge acquired from unreliable sources. Nevertheless, we live in an argumentative Indian reality, where speech is nothing less than golden but silence is mere silver. Well, that may not quiet appeal to our current sentiments. But lets face it. The courage to speak up only stands for that kind of attitude that we are so restless to display everyday, among our friends, our peers, our fellows and colleagues, at our rented-flats, streets, campuses, shopping places, Church services, and on social networking sites. Then, why suddenly hold back in the classroom?. Considering the classroom is a democratic space too, where we are most welcome to exercise our right to freedom of expression in the most lucid manner, it is quietly absurd to (literally) think of it as the only place on earth where wed rather die than speak out. I want to see that day when every reckless-looking fellow from our community, self-assuredly dressed in trendy attire, steps in the classroom with head held-high, after calmly seated oneself, raises one hand spontaneously to offer responses right or wrong, undaunted by stares, or the teachers own intimidating reaction. Up till now, only a few minority of us have the guts to do so. And if you argue, fluency in English is not at all an issue; average ability to communicate ones viewpoints always suffice. I know we are good, in almost everything

DM%& !NN'!L M!(!%)N* +01,-1we do. So why not try this one? Its not theirs to speak alone, theirs to make comments and be praised for it, but ours too. We are bold and we are articulate. We are equally capable and intelligent and even more talented than our vai classmates. We only need to rid ourselves of our self-induced doubts and apprehensions, and throw them in the dustbin. In that case, I say lets act like Mizos, think like Mizos, but speak like the Indians that we are. Lets make our parents back home proud of us. We have nothing to lose by doing so, but it will only get better, period.

R.Lalnunmawia

%.N'NM!/)

A real life account of how I lost my faith and how an unusual Angel gave it back to me. Board a bus. Conductor has no change. He told one local guy to split the change with me when we get down. Got down, told the guy not to worry about it and left. After a short while, the guy caught up with me at the fork road, panting and said, Here's your change, brother. I was shocked beyond belief awed and filled with warmth wonder. You shouldn't have, said I. With a bright smile he told me But it's your share of the change. While goosebumps crawled through every inch of my skin I said, Thank you so much, brother, then, we departed. Well, that's a short, not so interesting, which seems rather common story of my one evening life in Delhi. And, here's why I have to tell you that story and the story of a long lost faith found. Being in the capital city of India for the past 7 years, let's just say, I have been around. Travelled for business, as well as pleasures to every nook and corner of the city, in and out of the city by autos, buses, cabs, metros, taxis, rickshaws, trains, planes. On each occasion, I have dealt with drivers/conductors who tried their best to find every possible chance to cheat me and get extra extortion money out of my poor thin wallet. It's almost like an unwritten rule out here in the city to bargain and cheat each other out. A game the locals played so willingly well that I sometimes think that parents must have taught their kids how to launder money out of people since they started walking. There are many a time when I have to shout and quarrel over 3 or 4 or 5 rupees with the drivers drain and exhaust all the little hindi I knew just because I care about principles rather than the change. The same goes with the street hawkers, vege89

table vendors and shopkeepers. To be frank, they actually are the real con. They know how to quickly sum up numbers and add extra 5 to 10 rupees without us noticing any difference. When I first arrived here, being an old school Mizoram lad, I was naive. I trust their calculations and never thought otherwise. Then, I later realize I was cheated every time I went out to buy things. When they have no change (or rather do not want to give me) they will say let's keep it for next time' but never pay me later. And, the next time I approach them they will have no idea about it. Thus, more shouting and quarelling over a few change. But, as I said, it's the principle that counts. I admit that I'm not an ideally perfect guy but being brought up in a MizoChristian society has its perks. Were naive, we trust easily and we try to be truthful even though we knew that the truth can bite us back. As the saying goes 'when in rome, do as romans do' it's often hard to be the same guy that left Mizoram years ago. The more I struggled to be a Mizo the more demons I have to tackle. It's like fighting an unseen battle victory unguaranteed. The city kills my innocence day by day, hardened the heart and soul, stole my faith and trust, and rebirth me as the locals I came to despise. I now calculate every item I purchase, fix a price before boarding any vehicle and carry change everywhere I go. There are times when the previous me would return, as in the story I narrated at the beginning, and I would care less about a few rupee change no principle involved; let it be. But, such moments are rare. I lost my faith in the city, the people, and the whole system and thus lost myself in it too. My life was turning out to be like the joke a friend once told me People out here are fond of praying. There are temples on every nook and corner of the city. If you happen to walk by a temple and unknowingly drop your wallet, the guy who walks right behind you will pick it up, praise the gods and just walk away. I didnt realise how lost I was until one night when a few north-east friends and I were

DM%& !NN'!L M!(!%)N* +01,-1having drinks at my rented apartment. We had a great time and as the hours tick by I couldnt find the wallet I kept in the back pocket of my short pants which I kept hanging above a shoe rack. I searched everywhere, turning upsidedown almost every furniture my small room could hold. But, in vain. So, I did the worst possible thing a friend could do to a friend the one thing I regret doing till today. I ask everyone to stand up and then I check them all. What was even worse is that I found my wallet behind the shoe rack a few minutes later. Apart from all the killings, raping, murdering, cheats and frauds written all over the newspapers every day this is the battle I fight everywhere I go always on the lookout and ever ready to quarrel, faith in humanity lost, living in a city full of people I despise and starting to behave like one of the untrustworthy locals. I never thought I could ever gain trust in anyone from the city, let alone a local guy returning a mere five rupee change to me until that angel of a guy, that honest and humble guy made my heart cry the other day. A simple act of kindness turned my whole world around, restore my believes in humanity; if only for a day or two and help me find the faith I lost long ago. Whoever you are, wherever you are Thank you, brother. May the Creator bless you a million times more for all eternity.

Andrew R. Rozara

GURGAON: Eleven months, one day, and twelve hours after my last cigarette, I crossed the line that marked the completion of my two and a half hour ordeal taking me across twenty one kilometres of Gurgaon landscape. The run, which started at seven that same morning, had snaked through freshly built six lane highways of the satellite town before funnelling into narrow roads that went past empty fields populated by bullocks and horses. I've often said that Delhi is a village, and if that is true then Gurgaon is even more so. Despite the metro lines and gleaming glass and steel towers, there is a closeness that is somewhat discomforting. You feel watched every moment of your day - strangers on the road ogle at women and other passer-by's , neighbours in huddled DDA apartments listen in on each other's conversations, and gossip travels fast in work places and multi-storeyed apartment complexes alike. Throughout the run, bystanders watched befuddled, some passing inane comments, some slowing down in their cars, others peeking out of their windows. Be it Gurgaon or Delhi, India still indeed lives in villages. I've only recently started running. Six months ago I was hard pressed to run two kilometres in fifteen minutes. What prompted this sudden change of heart? I don't know. Like so much else I find myself doing these days, it started out as just something to do. For whatever reason I started, I know why I carry on.
91

On a long run, I've come to learn how to listen to my body. To hear what it's telling me. Is that pinch in my left knee something I should be wary of? Does that stitch in my side mean I should change my breathing? Did I leave the geyser on before leaving so that I can get back to a hot bath? The act of running also clears your mind. For two hours there's no one to talk to, no internet to distract you, no information coming in. So your mind turns inwards, to both good and bad. You start thinking of negative thoughts but immediately have to cast them out else be weighed down by them. You start thinking of positive thoughts but realise that you can't savour them because you still need the hunger. It's like a yard sale for your brain. As you progress, each step becomes harder to take. The last fifteen minutes of my run, my mind was focused purely on one, single thought: left foot in front of right, right foot in front of left, repeat. It's the simplest thing in the world. A one year old baby can do it. But you have to scream it to a body that's screaming back in retaliation. It's learning to walk again, with all the joy that it brings. You cross the line, doubling over and thankful to god that it's finished. The lady puts a medal over your shoulders while you're still kneeling and hands you a packet of glucose biscuits. Then she asks you to get up and walk around for a bit and maybe stretch. Your knees are still screaming and white pangs of pain dance around your peripheral vision, but you know the race isn't over yet. You're just halfway there. So you stand, freshly knighted, a warrior of the road. BOMBAY: I completed the marathon in six hours and forty six minutes. Of course, you're going to have to take my word for it. There is

DM%& !NN'!L M!(!%)N* +01,-1no official record of this. At the six hour mark the timing mats were removed at the finish line and traffic restarted along the course. By the time I crossed the finish line (or what was left of it), the sun was high up in the sky and people were up and about. The bustle of Bombay had returned. I can't say I "ran" the marathon. Doing so would be disrespectful to those who trained far harder and for far longer than I did to complete it in six hours or less. For me as well, such statements would be disillusioned at best and narcissistic at worst. I walked for a total of about four hours of it. I know there are purists who would scoff at this, and I will not disagree. I cannot claim anything to the contrary. It is what happened. But I sure as hell did complete it. Under my own power. Forty two point one nine five kilometres. And it was the toughest thing Ive ever done. I walked for about the last two hours nonstop because I had blisters on the sides of my toes, and the joints of my knees screamed like hot metal leaking into them whenever I tried to jog. Every step was agony for nearly two hours. I almost broke down at the thirty nine kilometre mark, because I had miscounted and had thought that I was already at forty. One kilometre more doesn't sound like a lot, but coming at the end of a haul like that it can almost tear you apart. I didn't expect to receive a medal. I didn't expect to find people at the finish line to congratulate me on completing the marathon. There were no TV crews or swathes of cheering crowds. After all, what I did was hardly an honour. And yet, a medal awaited me. My medal. And I was applauded and cheered on heartily by the volunteers who were packing up at the finish. Just like that extra kilometre, it's

the little things that can make a difference, even for the better. The raised palms of children hoping for a high five as you pass, the applause of bystanders despite knowing youre among the last to finish, the pat on the back and the words of encouragement from a fellow runner after youve doubled over due to a cramp. And that's the beauty of it all. Ive often said that the choices you make should be for yourself and not for what others think of you. But in this I have an addendum to make. Even though I signed up for the marathon because I wanted to test my own self, I know that I brought that medal home for everyone else. For the runners who stayed the course ahead of me, and for those who did so behind. For the volunteers ever ready with packets of biscuits and bottles of water. For the friends whod stayed up all night to make sure I would get up on time. And for her. Because it is true what is said; As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. But of course, you're just going to have to take my word for it.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness. - Maya Angelou Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. - Victor Hugo

crooning from the national Panasonic fourband tape recorder. The transition from primary to middle school coincided with the arrival of MTV back home. Bon Jovi, Guns and Roses, Damn Yankees, Ugly Kid Joe all regaled us with their songs of protest and profession of love. Those were the golden days when we kept year books with lots of wrong spellings resultant from many a sleepless night pondering on the tape what their gruff mumbling means to a youngster still half educated in the nuances of English. The leap into high school was but a short path to adulthood. This was the time we realised that the opposite sex can be beautiful mesmerising us into daylong daydreams and sleepless nights. Emmy Lou Harris "In My Dreams", Rita Coolidges "Jealous Kind" and Glen Madeiros "Nothings Gonna Change My Love For You" all get a new meaning which wasnt there before. Earlier, love songs were just songs with a pretty tune. But now they come with feelings, feelings that were provoked by the gentle springs of Mizoram and the sound of cicadas in the air. Alas, most young love is bound to end in pain. We took refuge in Jim Reeves soft velvety baritone and the tangy taut voice of Elvis Presley as they pour out their passion and love lost. Coming to Delhi, the music scenario all changed. The change of locales, the immersion into an alien culture, and the demands of a graduate student course work gave songs and music a new meaning; the desire to be part of the crowd yet maintain an individuality, the mixture of the college hostel haze and all the things that an undergraduate student was expected to do. Bob Dylans raspy voice belting out "Positively 4th Street" along with Dire Straits Mark Knofler playing his swing sometimes made us alternate betwe-

Well, we all like songs and music. Its the soul of our life. We grew up with it pervading each and every sphere of our life. When we were in kindergarten, nursery rhymes mollycoddled us to sleep with tunes of "Wee Willie Winkie", "Twinkle Little Stars", and made us feel naughty with "Georgy Porgy" and "Chubby Cheek". It starts our relationships with the opposite sex with "Where Are You Going To My Pretty Maid" extending to the plain tongue in cheek Inky Pinky Ponky". Those golden forbidden childhood days are long gone, they will never come back. But don't you at times ever wish those days back and be able to revel in that simple merriment of a pure heart and innocent mind. Primary and middle school days were where we started searching for an identity, albeit expressed through music and songs. Thus, Don Williams "Shot Full Of Love", Conway Twittys "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" presents a new picture, that of love but without the full realisation of their meaning. Folk tales, fairy tales, and romantic notions of the west and cowboys all mingled together in soft music

In the party scene, we are always "Stranded" with Lutricia McNeal, "In The Club" which is a "Gangsta Paradise" while Gwen Stefani wants to "Let Me Blow Your Mind". But at the end of the evening, we are all "Whole Again" with Atomic Kitten. Loneliness is a part of a students life and it coincides with our search for an identity which still continues until today. Thus, we are alternatively either "Comfortably Numb" or "Brain Damage" on the Dark Side Of The Moon. We start reminiscing about our limited carefree student days and thought that "These Are The Best Days Of Our Life". But with our buddies, we always promise to be "Friends Forever" with a lot of Vitamin C. We start experiencing the many avatars of love. As a result, Lee Ann Womacks "I May Hate You In The Morning But Im Gonna Love You Tonight", Carrie Underwoods "Wasted", Alison Krauss/John Waites "Missing You", and Lonestars "Two Bottles Of Beer" all present different sides of love corresponding to which avatar we adopt. In the midst of living with different cultures, the realisation settles that all girls, not only Mizos, are beautiful. Smokies "Norweigian Girl", "Mexican Girl", MLTRs "Strange Foreign Beauty", and Hank Locklins "Irish Eyes" strikes a new chord in our hearts. And to prove that we are as good as or even better than the other guy, we strut around singing Bruce Springsteens "Tougher Than The Rest" but to no avail; girls sometimes choose the "New Kid In Town". And then again we are sometimes in love with the idea of love itself. I think this is why many can sing Rod Stewarts "For The First

Time" for the third time! Well its everybodys world and everyone can choose to do what they want. However, though sad, many became "The Girl From Yesterday" while some continue like Vince Gills "I Still Believe In You". Like many old western movies, some "Cowboy Rides Away" la George Strait. In the end, we still believe that we are lonely and strive though this world randomly like Merle Haggards "Lonesome Fugitive". At the same time, we also thought that we are the only living boy in Delhi making ourselves believe that Simon and Garfunkels "The Only Living Boy In New York" was written solely for us. Sometimes we are simply "Blue" like Amie Comeaux. Let me end this short note by quoting Enya who has got it right when she says: Who can say where the road goes Where the day flows, only time And who can say if your love grows As your heart chose, only time... Note: I don't impose that this article portrays the general human experience. But rather it is written from the very limited and subjective perspective of one person namely, me. Your experience may be similar or different from mine. But what I wanted to narrate in this short piece is that songs and music are intrinsic to human nature and as our life revolves, so does the song that goes along with us. Happy listening and if you have anything to say, I will be very happy to hear them. Adios!
