Ha kiba bun hi, kata ka ktien ‘Happy Kristmas, Happy New Year’, ka la shu long noh tang ka rukom ia khublei kaba hangto-hangto, ka kut noh ruh hangto-hangto hi. Ha ki por ba dang kham samla mynshuwa, ngi ruh ngi long kumjuh.
Don ki jingjia ha kiba ialeit shi paralok, ia sngewbha lang, tang mar iadei kiad, kiew ka jingkhluid khlieh, ban sa ka jingsarong, shiparalok ruh poi noh sha ia iashoh-iadat, iamynsaw uba hap ka bniat ruh uto, uba blu ki khmat ruh uto hi, don ruh ki jingiap hateng-hateng.
Hynrei, dang ia ong lang pat ‘Happy New Year’. Ha ka jingshisha, ka jingmut tynrai hi ka long ban ia khublei kitbok ban iadonbok lang ban nang iakoit, iakhiah ban nang iabha-iamiat ha ka trei-ka kthah, ka shong- ka sah bad kum kine ki jingiakit bok markylliang, kiban ioh jing khyrkhu lang sa na u Nongbuh-Nongthaw.
Ka jingkylli kaba donkam ban iajubab hi halade-lade ka long, haba man la u snem bad da ki bun-bun snem la ia khublei kitbok kumne, kumno ka la long ka imlang-sahlang jong ngi?
Nga shem ba don kiba ong, ‘ka long kumba ju long’. Don pat kiba ong, ‘la kham bit khyndiat ha ka liang ka jngoh-kai pyrthei, Tourism’. Don pat kiba ong, ‘ka tulop ba ju ioh ruh ym ioh, sa ka hap tap-op ia ka khmut ka khmat, ba trei sa ka korona’, bad kum kine ki jingsngew bapher-bapher.
Imat bun hi ki longing-longsem kiba kham jynjar, khyndiat kiba shu long pdeng, katto-katne eh kiba biang.
Hynrei hapdeng kat kine ruh, baroh-baroh pat ki dang ia ong hi ‘Happy New Year, same to you’, namar ka la long ka rukom.
Kumno tharai lada hadien ka shi tarik-artarik sdang iapyrkhat thymmai lang noh ha ka rukom kaba kham don jingmut, khnang ba ha utai u snem thymmai uban wan ter-ter…, ngin iohi noh ia ki dak ki shin kiba kham pher, kham bha, kaban da don jingmut shisha bad kata ka jingiakynjrut kti – ‘Snem Thymmai Basuk?’

Nangta ban pynphai kylla noh ia ki 300 tylli tam ki-shnong ki thaw kiba dei jong ka Jaintia Hills District, kiba tip kim ki Block I & II, kiba la shu pynrung tang da ka hukum Sorkar Assam ha u snem 1951 shapoh ka District Karbi Anglong, Assam, ia kaba ki Lai Sorkar Congress Assam, Meghalaya bad Delhi ki shu ieh lyngkrang haba ki dang synshar ma ki.
Ban pynbeit syndon ia u pud u sam ha Langpih bad kiwei ki thain West Khasi Hills. Kamrup, kumjuh ruh sha kiwei-kiwei ki bynta ka Ri-Bhoi, Jaintia Hills, ba la tur jubor ka Assam mynta.
Ki samla pule bun kiba la pulom ki kyrdan pule bym ioh kam, hynrei bun bah ki khyllah jait ki ioh kam Sorkar, khamtam ha ki kam rit ha baroh ki tnat Sorkar. Shano kata ka bhah kam, employment policy, haba ki officer ki engineer ki thung hi katba ki mon. Ki ing Sorkar ha kylleng ba biang ka um, ka ding, dap da ki khyllah jait.
Ki paidbah kiba ud lynter, ki samla kiba hap beh kam wat shabar ka jylla, hapdeng bun ki jingeh bad jingjynjar, hynrei haba dei ka por ban wanrah ia ki nongsynshar babit ban pynbeit ia kine ki kynrum-kynram, baroh-baroh ha kata ka myntoi rwing (tyngka jied briew), jied kylla ia kiba leh ia kitei ki kam bad kiba wanrah ia kitei ki jingeh.
