THANKSGIVING DAY 2010

Thank you dear God for letting us live till today!





As the name implies, thanksgiving day is a day to give thanks to the Lord for bountiful harvest. It is a day of saying thanks for all the blessing we received. It is observed throughout the country and it is a DAY TO EAT TURKEY.

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving day with some friends with lots of good food and fun. We planned the day for eating and shooting. We had a fun time having a target shooting. All of us took part and took our turn in trying out our skill in shooting. It was fun, the day was short when you have a good time.





Of course we had a short time sitting together and sharing how thankful we were to the father for blessing us all so much. It was so emotional to hear young boys and girls shared how much they appreciate the blessing they got between this year and last years thanksgiving day. After a little sermon by Mrs. Sailo we ended the fellowship with a group prayer. The hostess announced the plan and the strategy along with invitation for next years thanksgiving. What a long notice for the preparation.






Men, women, boys and girls, everybody took turn in shooting. Many shot the gun, but few hit the target, especially the Bull's eye.


          Sure, girls had exciting time in roasting marshmallows...

 Turkey, mashed potato, rice, dal, beans, bawng irno leh antam chhum, hmarcha leh baibing um pawlh etc were in abundant.





Hunting in the nearby forest added extra fun for some pasalthas. We gotta be careful in speaking English while hunting; as deer, stag etc.. here speak English pretty fluently..In order not to scare the animals away we got to shhhh.. all the time, however I said to my son, "If you really really need to talk to me use lehtawng only, like 'ap ka awh ra'.." And he nodded.





               Girls love to entertain themselves in playing board games.



A camp-fire outside was additional attraction for young children. They played with fire but they were careful, luckily nobody got hurt lol..

After the sun set and getting dark, boys and girls left for inside and adults came out to sit around the fire. Talking about different subjects from Mizo welfare to, nupui pasal zawn, from potitics to policing. In fact we covered pretty much everything, everyone seemed to talked his heart out;  until the fire got dimmed and could no longer saw each other's face...oh what a titi time we had, what a great night it had been. Nobody knows will we ever have an unpolluted time like that again!

FUN @ IMAX Theater

Some two weeks ago, while driving a car I heard a radio talking about IMAX movie coming near our town. Everyone talking about Imax were excited and all said when it really came, they would definitely go see movie in IMAX theater. In Maryland side of Washington Metropolitan area, Silver Spring's Regal Majestic cinema is the only one which has an Imax theater. From that day, I too wanted to feel what they called 'Ultimate movie experience' really like for the first time.

                                         The Majestic, Downtown Silver Spring

On Nov 24 2010, at 6.30 pm, a night before thanksgiving; along with me were my two daughters, we went to see an Imax movie called Harry Potter and The Deadly Hallows.  The Majestic, a movie theater in Silver Spring is a megaplex which has 20 movie theaters, and offers state-of-the-art and innovative stadium seating, digitial surround, wall-to-wall screens and gourmet concessions.  This luxury theatres offer many amenities and first class services. 


We got there on time, alright;  I'd never wanted to be late for a movie. As there was no assigned seat for movie goers, we can sit wherever we want. I always want to sit in the best place where I feel really comfortable, toward the back if possible. As usual we bought some pop corns with butter topping, and soda. Took off my jacket and waited relaxingly for the movie to start. There's nothing to worry about as tomorrow is thanksgiving holiday. We can sleep in as long as we want.








Imax  is a motion picture film format and projection standard created by a Canadian. It has a capacity to record and display images far greater size and resolution than regular films. Therefore the pictures were so clear and real, and  are laser aligned digital sound. So crisp and so loud too.







After 2 hours the movie ended. My daughter Dini liked it for sure. As for me I don't know if I liked the movie or not, but I am glad that the $ 18 I spent for each ticket worth the fun and experience we just had. Besides, when my kids are happy nothing else matter really!

ACUPUNCTURE>>>>

                                     Dr. Nianzu Li and his wife Peggy Li

I have been having this problem " A tennis elbow" for quite sometime now. I remember I started to have  this painful stuff back when we had Chin Tennis tournament in Frederick on Sep 2010. Two days before the tournament I was so frustrated with my serve. I totally forgotten how to serve, no matter what I did, I could not make it in. Then there I was, desperately trying to re-discover myself to have a sure way of serving,  then I got this. What I did was; I would toss the ball low and hit it down right above the net without swaying my full body like I always did. It looked good to me and I then could serve well ever since. So, just like Nadal did in Wimbledon 2010, I used my new serving in that tournament hoping to surprise everybody. But guess what, it didn't work out well, I lost at the first round! And my  elbow was burning, so painful that I had to take a pain killer.

Since then, until today my elbow pain is still causing me problems. When I closed my elbow long, I could hardly open it back and feel so tight that its almost unbearable. When I straightened out for too long its hard to fold  it back again. I have stopped playing tennis since that day; and I will hang my rackets until I am  completely healed. Some people have tennis elbow period, while I have what many people never heard of. It  funny to say that I have tennis elbow, tennis knees, and tennis ankles! It seems I have tennis of  pretty much everything!

I have talked to as many people as possible to advise me as to what I needed to do with my pain. Many people couldn't give me concrete suggestions. Even when they give one it always tend to contradict with others. Some recommend to continue to play while others suggested a complete rest. They really confused me!

One day I met a nice doctor whose name was Gary.  I told him everything about my pain; and he in turn directed me to go to a Chinese doctor named Nianzu Li. Dr.Gary also added that he was the only doctor he really trusted. That was how I came to know this Chinese doctor who said 'Combining western and eastern medical knowledge is like a tiger having  wings to fly'. Ideal combo huh!

So I went to the Dr.Li and he performed well trusted acupuncture on me. He had me lay down in a heated bed with soothing music all around. He cleaned the area with alcohol where the pain was. And he started to insert different sizes of needles in where the thought the pain was fervently felt. Some of them were not felt much, while some needles were so painful. He told me that he was happy when I feel more pain for those were the critical spot where relief were needed.

The art of acupuncture rests on the understanding of the human beings as a complex organization of energy that forms and sustains our physical, mental,and emotional bodies. The ancient Chinese made a link between specific hypersensitive points on the skin and specific illnesses or organs dysfunctions. When these points were stimulated, they discover that the illness or problem corresponding to the hypersensitive pattern would be relieved.

While laying down on the bed, my mind zoomed back to Peter's Street, Mission Veng; Aizawl. For there was a man named Pa Tana who had done this kind of profession before in Mizoram( was he lisensed, I doubt). He was a funny guy, loved by all the local people. But I am wondering if he had done that job as a joke or as a bootleg!  I never knew to whom did he performed the treatment nor were they got healed! However one thing was certain, it must have been very painful to have had pricked by those fat needles Pa Tana would have had been using!

Am I healed? I don't know for sure. I thought I felt better a little bit as soon as I left my doctor. Was it only a relief of pulling out the needles? Or was it a relief of having to pay the  fee less than I was worried about? Or was I  about to feel better anyway due to passes of time? I won't know really. But this thing I know for sure, getting older brought about more knowledge and experiences to me along with more pains and sufferings- thats the deal whether I liked it or not!
