Gold Everywhere
Entii Piilo is coming. The whole landscape of Ziro is turning into gold. Harvesting of paddy has started in places. Countless shades of green, gold and yellow. It is a real feast to the eyes. Bountiful nature.
What i like about Ziro is...the feeling of absolute security while exploring the exotic corners..safe in the knowledge that even if you tresspass someones field by mistake, you will be shown the way with a smile. I was even offered O' impromptu when i entered a bamboo grove to take some photos!
@buru, good question. I would straightway translate it into "Ngunu miiju-paju mi dukañ kiine sa." The problem is - I cannot imagine an old man using a sentence like this. In addition, 'miiju-paju' is NOT 'culture'. I cannot think of a more appropriate word for 'culture'. Can you?
