Moreh has an old world charm. I first came here in 1994 and since then each visit has been special and refreshing to the core of my heart. Moreh is an amalgamation of various cultures and religions. This small but now expanding town (Kasba) is located on the IBL with Myanmar and the town on the Myanmarese side is called Tamu.
Both Moreh and Tamu depend on the cross-border trade and provide a gateway to the respective ex-British Colonies. The rustic ambience of Moreh is delightful and so are the family and folks who stay here. It is heartening to meet smiling neighbors and relatives who travel far to connect the dots of relations. As a mark of love,honor and respect,the tribal folks bring along a live Chicken to be cooked for my lunch.On the other side, an invite to the Meitei (Manipuri) neighborhood welcomes us with traditional culinary delights.
A visit to Tamu is full of revelry and fun. The "Draught Beer" is good and the exotic Burmese dishes set the spirits rocking. The fresh air in this place fills the lungs with turbo energy and the aching limbs become charged again. The connectivity matrix has improved each year and today I am pushing this write-up through my hand held phone. There was a time when I would get up at 0330 hrs to get a 5 min call to Moreh. India has come a long way since then and now I can surf the broadband at any time on various mobile networks ruling the airwaves at Moreh.
The knock of 2014 is in the air.The hum and din is spread all over the town. The people here take hardships and fun in their stride.Happiness prevails even amongst the CI Environment!!!
