da headhunter in me!
My roots trace me back to the lush, green, virgin hills of the Far East in the land of the fabled ‘headhunters’……Born in an obscure town called Kohima where more than six decades ago a great battle raged between the Japz and the Britz and which marked a major turning point during the IInd World War…..Not that I had a role to play in any of it but I stress on it for the sake of spicing up my otherwise unappealing profile!!!…….Fortunately or unfortunately I was born into the bloodline of the warrior tribe- the Sumi Nagas- whose penchant for conflict and warfare is very much acknowledged with caution by the other members of the extended Naga familia……Legends and folklore abound on the savagery and barbaric characteristics of my people before the advent of the British…..However, the fact remains that despite the initial state of chaos, aptly referred to as a ‘state of nature’ the Nagas as a society have evolved with the times…. Previously nature worshippers and Christianized to the hilt by American Missionaries, the Nagas bid adieu to their much loved ‘headhunting’ pastime and embraced the call from Jehovah……Like all others before me, I too have quit rummaging around for potential ‘head’ trophies and as an alternative diverted the inherent diabolical psyche of mine to constructive activities…..so here I am……blogging!!!
