Nga ngeit ba lada uta u thlen u don, u lah ban don ha kita ki por hyndai; mynta um don shuh, u la dep iap la slem bah slem san. Hynrei mynta, ki don bun ki thlen thymmai ha ka dur briew kiba kjit man ka sngi ia ka snam jong ngi ki duk ki rangli:
a) Kum ki nongmihkhmat paidbah- Kine ki thlen ki mih pyrthei shisien san snem. Ki long kum

Ynda ki la jop, ki long syiem kylla halor u paidbah bad sdang ban dih ia ka snam jong u. Kine kim pher satia na ki lehnoh. Ka jingiapher ka long ba ki lehnoh ki lute na u paidbah da kaba pynap da ka suloi, katba kine ki thlen san snem ki lute da kaba pynap da u khulom bad ki ioh khambun shah ban ia uba pynap da ka suloi.
Ki thung kam ruh ia ki briew la jong lane ia kito kiba lah ban siew katkum ka dor ba ki buh.
Nangta ki phah trei ia ki, sha ki jaka ba kham bun ka ngap (pisa) khnang ba kin ioh kloh ngap bad ai lem ia ki. Lada jia ba kita ki officer kim lah ban pynbiang ia ka jingdawa jong ki, tang katno ki la shah kyndang. Lada dei pat ki IAS ne IPS officer, khlem pep kin shah phah shabar jylla (on deputation). Lada dei ki officer trai jylla, kin phah ia ki sha ri shyiap ne sha kala pani kumba ong ki dkhar.
Baroh ka pisa kaba wan na ka sorkar pdeng, bun ba ka leit sha pla jong ki. Kine tang san snem ki la ioh thied jaka kylleng kylleng, thied kali rem dor, ki tei ki iieng paki-dulan, ki shopping complex, ki petrol pump, ha man la ki jaka bad kiba kham bun buit ki tei sha bar jylla, khnang ba u paidbah lun dait maw, un ym tip ei ei. Hangne ha ri la jong pat, ki leh kum ki langbrot bad lada shu peit ia ka rukom leh hok jong ki, la i kumba kin shu kiew im sha bneng, namarba ki hok palat.

Hato kine ki nongialam jong ngi, kim dei ki thlen? Ha ka jingsngewthuh bad jingiohi jong nga, ka new Shillong kan sa long ka nongbah jong ki khyllahjait bad jong ki heh saipan.
Hato mano ba ai lad ia kine ki thlen san snem ban dih kylla ia ka snam jong ngi? Dei u paidbah nongjied keiñ. Bun ki paidbah ki kynnoh ia kine ki ‘len san snem ba ki bam sap; hynrei kim poi pyrkhat ba dei ma ki, kiba ai ia kane ka sap bam ha kine ki nongialam jong ngi. Don ki paidbah kiba ong, “shish yn jied sa kum ia uto, ka sha tang shi pela ruh um lah ban ai. Lah uto uwei keiñ me; ka sha ruh ioh, ka ja ka doh ruh ioh puk puk, ka khor ruh ioh, ka bai tah khor ruh ioh, nalor kata ka pisa bai rneng khun ruh u dang ai.”
Ha kawei ka sngi uwei u rangbah u la ong ia uwei pat, “phi tip bah balei ka Balang Katholik ka riewspah?

Lada ka lah ban long kumta, nga tharai ka sokar kan shu sam pisa ei man ka sngi. Ia ka pisa hi ym lah ban shna katba mon, ki don la ki kyndon. U Pope um ju shna pisa hi; hynrei u im da ka jingnoh synñiang jong ki paid ‘riewngeit kylleng ka pyrthei.”
Utei u bah wat la u la nang la stad; hynrei um don jingshemphang ei ei. U nangmut ba u khlieh duh jong ka ri, u lah ban shna pisa katba u mon. Bun na ki paidbah jong ngi ruh, ki pyrkhat kum utei u bah, ba ka sorkar ka shna pisa katba ka mon, na kata ka daw, tang san snem ba ki long MLA/MP/MDC, ki la kylla riew spah kynsan kynsan, kumba kyrsoi u thlen bad ki kylla long kita ki crore pati ne ki billioner.

Balei phi pynkiew dor ia ka umphniang, phi hap siew pisa ia ki candidate ne?” Hangta u la jubab, “haba phi la tip, te balei phi dang kylli kum u bym tip ei ei?” [yn dang bteng]
