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!
