Min hmu dik khawp chuan ka hria. Min hmuhsit vang ni lovin min hmuh dan dik tak an sawi a ni e.
Smokie’s trip to India was nothing short of adventurous, with missing air tickets, an impossibly tight connection at Bangkok and a threatened cancellation of the flight to Aizawl. Add to this the Aizawl Thunders Motorcycle Club’s escort, which led us through narrow, winding mountain roads with sheer drops, and you have all the ingredients of a thriller.
All around us is great poverty. There is no infrastructure and living conditions are basic and open to the elements, mostly consisting of houses built on the edge of a mountain and propped up by supports. In spite of these conditions, the people smile, wave and cheer. They are genuinely happy to see their favourite band finally make an appearance in their country.
The streets are chaotic, as security guards and minders are hugely outnumbered by the crowds.
