sura

Hi everybody, welcome to my blog! "Sura" is a culture hero of the Hmar tribe. The narration of Hmar folktales would be incomplete without the mention of Sura whose exploits are a great paradox indeed that makes the stories both are challenging and endearing. While he may be considered the silliest of simpletons, he’s also the wittiest of all. His exploits speak of love, affection, betrayal, forgiveness and reconciliation. Enjoy reading my posts and I do hope you have no regrets afterward.

To be free as a bird...
Do I dream about that often?
To be free as a bird
with the far blue mountains beckoning;
Fly and glide over the hills and vales
to see my beloved yonder.
Who wouldn't?

Maybe this was not meant to be
for reasons best known to the creator.
If I was free like a bird,
I would be able to do things
many other couldn't.
But what could prevent me
from follies that I might also commit?
