We have forged many friendships through the giving and eating of kwai, the betel nut and the betel leaf dashed with some lime. 😄😄
The kwai that we Khasis eat even has its own folktale too. Kwai is also the source of livelihood of many Khasi families.
When language is life and everything in between! 😄😂🧡🏞️
May indigenous languages thrive
May indigenous languages be revived
May indigenous languages empower us!

The glow of the fire in the hearth, the voice of the storyteller, the shadows on the walls, the sounds from outside 😅😅😆😂The art of storytelling has to be nurtured in us and in the next generation so that the depth and power of the oral tradition remains in our hearts and minds! 🌲☀️
We can all agree that especially in Shillong, because of the urban and cosmopolitan set up, our Khasi is mixed with English to the point that we have a "fruit blend Khasi" that our elders cannot relate to.
That is why it's good to sit and chat with our grandparents or any relative from the older generation so that we converse in our pure indigenous languages. This way our thought process and worldview also moulds itself to the shape and folds of an indigenous perspective.
"Ka dur te kum sahep, tangba ngin ïa bam da u sohmynken bep." 🤡🤡
Today, tomorrow and always we lay claim to and are proud of our indigenous lineage language history culture.
