December 10, 2015, Thursday

Inglaba Ningthamthagi Matamni,

Sanglaba Mercedes Benz car aduna.

Wanglaba Konunggi Yum Adudagi, Thoudorakli,

Senjao paiba mahasoi!

Lepliba thongngak pasu thinthaba leitana,

Hangdoklakee cheksinlaba yotki thongal.

Ueirum-ueirum touduna hangliba car gi thongnao adudagi,

Yenglakkhi mahousabu paisa paiba mahasoi!

Khanghoudana sitlakhiba malangba mahaksu,

Khuraba car gi thongnao aduda mengna changlakhi!

Purakhi thamoi kairaba khongbalgi manam,

Tapna yeikhi paisa paiba mahasoigi naton da!

“Driver thongnao lonsanlu”, laorakhi paisa paiba mahasoi.

Mapu ningba driver su chingkhatkhi thongnao adu tapna.

Thagat lakhi perfume, Air-condition kya,

Adubu yeikraba apumbagi manamni kokkhiroi matam kharadi!

Oeida yenglake—afotpa pan dukan,

Yetta yenglake—second hand dukan.

Sana konung manung dadi udeko asigumbase?

Waakhal macha ama khanlakhi paisa paiba mahasoi!

Thourakhi sanglaba car aduna sahar gi galli younaba,

Nakan khuding amotpana thanlaba galli ni.

Meepum khuding taothari chenliba paisa gi echelda,

Yaori paisa paiba mahasoisu chenliba paisagi echel aduda!

Okpa leite paisa paiba mahasoi,

Watli tankhini leppa leitana paisado.

Eigi yumgi nakanda namthi jarabasu,

“Paisadi paidaba yade”, khanlakkhi paisa paiba mahasoi?

Numidang wairamgi matam yourakhi,

Hanlakhi cheklana mahum ponda hanbagum.

Ningsing lakhi ngasaigi khongbalgi manamdo!

“Driver thongnao lonsinlu!”

Khalakhi waakhal macha ama,

“Sengdok sirane eigi yum nakangi amotpa khongbal sibo?

Kanade, moina henna paisa paige harak kani,

Leisanu adumak lairaba makhoina leiriba maongsida!”

“Dimapur gi Hong Kong market ta,

Guwahati gi Paltan Bazar da,

Delhi gi Chandni Chowk ta,

Leihouriba eigi marup kyanadi Sana Konungni khanlibani eigi eyumse!”

Sana konunggi thongal youramdai,

Mamsuk touraba numitdang wairamgi mangalda.

Chensin lakhi paisa paiba mahasoigi car manak younaba,

Mabuk lamlaba chaknibana makhut ani tingthoklaga!

Assao parei chanliba paisa paiba mahasoina,

Laorakhi wanglaba khonjelga loina,

Paisado Galli da Sathou Bani!

PREAMBLE

Today we stand at the threshold of a major change in our approach to environment issues. Antarctica and Himalayas, the coldest and the windiest place in the world are now a source of endless concern and controversy. It is unique in every sphere and is a common heritage of all the human kind.

Politically, Antarctica belongs to every country in the world. Biologically, it is the largest wildlife sanctuary on the earth. Ninety percent of the planet's fresh water resource is locked here. The continent is a critical component in the world's weather system and an invaluable open-air laboratory for monitoring global atmospheric pollution. Antarctica is the only continent which is virtually unspoilt by any anthropogenic action.

However, as the world's human population increases exponentially and the resources become scarcer everyday, the governments and businesses are looking to Antarctica and Himalaya for new supplies of food, freshwater, biological and mineral wealth. Impact of green house effect and global warming with the resulting effect of sea level rise due to melting of Antarctic ice and Himalayan glaciers are becoming more and more serious environmental issues today. Therefore, Antarctica and Himalaya has become a central consideration for human environment and is becoming one of the great issues of the world.

We need to conserve these pristine ecosystems. It is time now to think of our future generations and for a sustainable development.
