Da U Mayborn Lyngdoh R
U Mahatma Gandhi ha kawei ka khep u la ong, “Ka Pule Puthi ka mut ka jingpynpaw pyrthei ia ka ba bha tam kaba don ha u khynnah bad u briew – ka met, ka bor pyrkhat bad ka mynsiem”.
Ha kum kane ka por bad ka ia ha kaba ka pyrthei baroh kawei ka iaksaid ban im, ia ka jingdonkam ban sangeh shipor ha ka ban wad bad khmih ialade lah shah tuh noh. Ka la mih ka jingkhih khohreh klumar jingmut. Ki ‘Online Classes’ ki la iaid shaid-shaid, ka por ban pyndep ia ki lynnong bad ki kamram ba dei ban leh (assignments)ka pynkhihwin thik kum ki baje alarm. Nga ruh nga long u nonghikai bad nga sngewthuh ia ka jingdonkam ban pynmyllen iaki khynnah ha ka pule-puthi. Hynrei ngam lah pat ban sngewthuh balei ba ka dur jongka pat ka pynlongdoh longsnam ia ka jingibein, jingshah shiliang, jingpyniapher, bad ka jingkheinkor banoh shiliang? Nga mynjur, “To ai ia kiba lah ban pule ba kin pule”. Ym don ba khang ia ka jingthmu ba shida ban hikai, hynrei kaba ngam sngewthuh ka long balei kata ka jinghikai ka kup ia ka dur-bula ban pynkordit bad shah pynngop ha ka jingarsap?
Ha to, kam dei mo ka jingleh mynleh, haba ia ki iing bad ki dukan ba la aiwai da ki briew bym don lane duna ka jingnang jingstad, ki sngewthuh lem para briew ba kin nym shim bai wai lane ban shu pynjlan noh ia ka jingshim bai wai, ha kum kane ka por kaba eh? Katba ki nonghikai ba lah nang lah stad bha (“HIGHLY EDUCATED”) ki pynbor arsap ia ki kmie ki kpa jong ki khynnah ban thied ia ki smartphones (ym don smartphones ba duna iaka 10,000 tyngka ha iew ha kum kane ka por), ki desktops bad laptops bad ruh ban shim ia ka wi-fi connection (namar ka jing suki ka network) tang namar ba kin pyndep ia ki assignment na ki bynta ki eksam internals. Ia kane phi khot kata ka “Jinghikai naduh ka mynsiem”?!
Ym baroh ki kmie ki kpa jong ki khynnah kiba pule ha ki iing-skul paki-dulan jongphi, ki dei kiba don ba em. Ki don ruh ki kmie ki kpa kiba hap buh bynda ia baroh katba ki don na bynta ka pule-puthi ki khun. Bun na ki kim dei ki nongtreikam sorkar, te lada phi ki nonghikai bad ki khlieh nongpyniaid, phi don kata ka jingkitkhlieh, phin jin da la tip ia ka jingkylla khongpong ka ioh ka kot ha ka pyrthei hi baroh kawei. Ia ka khaii ka pateng lah khang khyrdep lut bad ka jing iadie-iathied ruh lah pynsangeh da ki bnai na ka jing wan jong ka lockdown.
Don ba ong, “Kane ka dei ka por ban khmih ia kiei kiei baroh da ka jingsngewlem parabriew”. U nonghikai u long kum u nongshet ha ka jingiathoh shongkurim. U pynbit pynbiang ia ki jingshet ba laiphewjait na ka bynta ki nongwan sha kata ka jingkhawai. Ka jinglah ban bam ka iapher, uwei na uwei u briew pat. U nongshet u lah tang ban shu antad, hynrei um lah ban lah biang thik. Ym baroh kiba wan sha ka jingkhawai tang namar ban bam. Ki don ruh kum kita, hynrei yn ym don uwei ruh ban mih khlem bam namar kata ka dei ka rukom. Kane ka long thik kum ka iit-khmih jong ka jingim ha ka pule puthi. Ym baroh kiba lah ban bam lut kat kaba la buh, hynrei phim lah ban pynbor iano iano, khamtam kum ha kane ka por. U nongshet um sngewsih haba ki nongwan ki bam tang khyndiat. U lah ban sngewsih lane sngewsahnud ba ym don ba niewkor eh katta katta ia ka jingbam ba u la shet kyrpang. Ka lah ban long ba ki nongbam kim bang. Namar kata u pyrshang ban shet pynpher noh ha kawei pat ka por.
Ngim lah ban iehnoh ia ka jingshisha ba ngi hap ban jam shaphrang bad ka por. Ngin hap ban pyniadei bad ka juk. Hynrei, hato kata ka jingnang jingstad ba ngi ioh na ki kot ka lah biang mo? Lada ka long shisha kumta, balei pat ba ki briew kiba don ia ki kyrdan pule ba shajrong kin hap ban trei hapoh ki luin-jabieng kiba pyniaid iaka jylla bad iaka Ri? Kumno ka lah ban long ba ia ki kynhun trei kam barri kiba heh ba heh (Multi National Corporations) la long trai bad pyniaid da kito kiba la iehnoh shiteng ia ki jingpule jongki ha ki kolej (college dropouts)? Balei ngi iai shukor ialade ba ka jingim ki khynnah ka shong ha ka lynnong pule jongki (Syllabus)?
Ngam lah ban sngewthuh ia kane ka jingiamareh kyrkieh ban kham hehspah heh saipan thik kumba lah jan kut ka por. Ka jingshisha ka long ba kiba bun bah ki khynnah samla kiba la pass ha ki kyrdan babiang ki hap shu shong bijai ei haiing khlem kam khlem jam. Ka rukom pyniaid ia ka pule puthi jongngi ka hikai iangi tang kumno ban nguid bad ban prie. ym ailad ban ktha bad ban tylliat iaka bam khnang ba kan tei. Iaki khynnah pule, la shu buh beit ha ka jaka mareh thong khlem da pyrkhat pat la kin lah mareh ne em. Ym don lad da kuwei pat. Mareh! Watlada phim lah ban mareh bad phi iap ruh haba mareh, mareh! Ia ngi lah shu pynthame beit ban mutdur ia kata ka lawei ba phyrnai ha kaba kut jong u lain mareh. Ynda ngi lah poi ha kaba kut, ngi ngat pynban ha ka kutlad khlem kam khlem jam! Ngi shem ba ki jingkular ki long kiba thylli bad kiba shukor. Ngi kieng ia ki degree jongngi kum ki medal ki bym lah ban pynkdang iaka jingthgan ka kpoh. Baroh kito ki jingtrei shitom jongngi ban ioh ia la ki jingangnud ha ka jingim, syndet syndet ki long pynban ki jingkordit kiba buh ia ngi ha ka jingshaiong bym tip shuh shano yn leit!
Haba ngi iakren iaka ka jingshisha bun kiba thut, kim lah ban shah bad peit iaka jingiohi jongngi kum kaei kaei kaba khlem nongrim bad bymsngew lah long. Ka bym sngewlahlong ka dei ba wat la phi tip ba ka dang bun ka por ban buria pat ia ka por ba lah duh noh na ka daw jong kane ka khlam, phi dang iai bat iaka pistol ban sdang iaka jingiamareh thong. Ngi dang don ia ki bnai Nohprah, Kyllalyngkot bad ar taiew ki jong u Rymphang ha ryngkat ki sngisaitjain, kiba pahuh ia ngi ban pyndonkam. Hato ka dei ka shuti tlang ne ki shuti sngi saitjain ba baroh baroh ki ia khuslai bad duh thiah duh dem? Lada ka jingdonkam ka kiew arted, ngi lah ruh ban pynjlan shuh shuh ia ka por long klas (academic session). Ka kham bha ban pyndep ha ka rukom kaba dei bad ba janai ban ia kaba shu leh tang ban pyndep rukom.
Hanga hi shimet nga sngew ba ka lockdown ka long ka kabu ksiar na ka bynta ki khynnah pule ba kin ioh ban shem bad kyntiew ia la ki sap ki phong ba rieh jongki. Ka rukom pyniaid ia ka Pule Puthi (Education system) jongngi kam ailad satia ia kum kata. Ka ksih pynban ia ka jingim u khynnah ha kaba pule. Baroh na ngi, ngi lah ju long langknia mynnor re mynnor. Ngi pynlut khatsan snem ha ka leit skul, lai snem ha ka leit klas bad ar snem ha ka jing pule ha ki kyrdan ba kham shajrong. Ngam lah ban ong uba la tbit ia uba pass ha kane ka kyrdan ba khamjrong. Namar ngam lah ban sngewthuh ia ka jingdonkam ban don kyrdan pule ban long coolie, draibar, nongbylla sngi, peon bad kiwei kiwei de ki kam.

Ka lockdown ruh ka plie ia ka lad na bynta ki kmie ki kpa ban ioh ban pynlut por ha kaba ia syllok bad la ki khun ki kti. Ka jingiadei hapdeng kine ki ar pateng ka la nang synjor namar ka jingbym don por shuh; kumta kane ka lock down ka maramot biang ia kane ka jingiadei ha ki longiing.Ngi iohi ba katba ka pule-puthi ka nang kiew stet ha ka jylla jongngi, katta ka nanghiar ka akor ka burom. Lada ngi phai sha ki ri kiba la roi shakhmat ha ka liang ka pule-puthi – Finland, Japan, South Korea, Denmark, ki pynshong nongrim bha ban pynduna ia ka jingai lynnong ban leh ha iing (Homework) ia ki khynnah.

Katba ha Philippines pat ka don ka ain ba man la u/ka khynnah ki dei ban thung dieng khnang ban ioh ia ka degree.
Ka jingbankhia lynter khlem pud ia ki khynnah da ki kamram ba dei ban leh (assignments) ka long tang ka jingleh jingkhyllew kum ka shynrong ba thylli. Bun ki assignments ki long ba la shu bud khlem peiphang (copy-paste) na internet tangba hap ban thoh hi daka kti. Shah pynshoh jadu ha ka jingpyrkhat lung mynsiem ia u khulom bad ka kotsada! Haei ka jingmyntoi ban pule haba kumta? Haba puson bha, ka kyntien Pyrkhing (Strict) kaba ngi ju pyndonkam barabor ha ki jaka pule ka kylla pynban ka jingpynkordit, pynshaiong jabieng, jingktah ia ka lut ka sep bad jinglehshiliang man ka por. Ha kawei ka jingjia ba sngewsih, kawei ka khynnah na Kerala ka lah thang im ialade na ka daw jong ka jingbym iohlad ban shim bynta ha ka jingpule online.

U Tagore u la thoh, “Ha kaba ka bor pyrkhat kam don jingtieng, ka khlieh ka ieng beit da ka jingsarong, ka jingnang jingtip ka laitluid…”
Ko ki para, ngi long shisha mo kiba laitluid?
