He dreamt of a successful life, a plum job, fast cars, beautiful wife and many kids but his rosy dream came crashing down when he was diagnosed with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) when he was admitted at the Regional Institute of Medical Science, Imphal, suffering from bouts of shivering fever that refused to go away.

Ever head of an outfit that “Rescues Writers” from across the globe? Believe me, there is one. The Walnut Discoveries Private Limited is the world’s only such company that saves the poets, lyricists, writers, novelists and film directors who could not make them big in their repeated efforts, thus ending up as depressed souls.

SPIRITUAL FESTIVAL
Springtime has brought about a refreshing air and showers, where nature itself is welcoming the season. Sweet scented flowers and varied plants are sprouting and blooming, beneath the sky blue with patches of white clouds floating away. It is in this happy scene, that people also join in welcoming springtime. In the Ri Hynñiewtrep of Eastern Meghalaya, the hills and dales reverberate with the sound of music of drums and the piped “Tangmuri”, being the queen of Khasi musical instruments. Youth and virgin maidens in their ceremonial attire of gold and silver jewellery and silk crowd in the dancing arena of the happy soul dance known as the “Shad Suk Mynsiem”. Flags of the Seng Khasi flutter across the land, the main venue being in capital Shillong for three continuous days from April 7 to 9. It is not only a display of culture but also a spiritual significance of thanks giving to the Divine Creator. The sanctity of the festival is reflected in the presence of only virgin maidens dancers . The silver crown they wear signify the honour and dignity of women hood protected by male dancers flashing their swords and whips.

By packaging of herbalbased incense sticks with bamboo tube, the unit has done a great job. This is for the first time in India that bamboo has been used to package incense sticks.
