Some meetings aren’t by chance.
Some you forget.
Some… change you.
This was one of them.
With Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar—
grateful, inspired, and humbled.

Also, an added joy to share my mother's book Oying Motsu with Shabana ji. The Unity Shawl, designed and launched by @abenitck, worn by Javedji.

It is always a pleasure to watch @mekhalamama style her clothes and accessories. This rose quartz necklace was no different. We love how the baby pink glows against her skin and the black top! Thank you for supporting us and so many small/local businesses from day 1. You are aspirational! 💗

And finally, my third book finds its way into the world today. Grateful for each one of you who’ve supported me, my work, and my passion.

Huge thanks to @penthrill and @rita_krocha for bringing this book to life. And thank you to @aldercollege and everyone who’s supported me on this journey.

Here’s to the stories that’ll be told, and the art of listening that keeps them alive.

While every book launch is special, we reckon our 116th publication, "The Ancestral Voices -Yimkhiung Naga Tales and Stories" by Runshito Lims was a rare gathering. We had people, for whom this was a first time attending or participating in a book launch and we're really thrilled to have introduced a remarkable literary work to them & enrich their first-time experience of a literary event.
This book of timeless tales from the Yimkhiung community was formally released by Obed Quinker, Chairman of Nagaland Bee-keeping and Honey Mission at Dr. Setu Memorial Hall, Alder College Kohima. Chairman of Yimkhiung Literature Board & formed Parliamentary Secretary, R. Tohanba and Laji Luyanba, General Secretary of Yimkhiung Tribal Council also exhorted the gathering.
