Career Quips, one of India’s more frequently visited blogs (with over 675 blog followers alone) posted their first non-career related post, and it was about Mizoram!
However I feel even the most-hungry-for-job candidate also needs a break from job-hunting and therefore this travelogue is being written as a weekend reading! I also could not help writing about such a good place I visited and the good people I met, for I feel all the world should know about them…
This paradise on earth is Mizoram (in North East India) and the good people I talk about is – the Mizos. For the last one year, my official commitment takes me through the serpentine roads of Mizo hills and I would like to just share with you the three counts of virtues I found in these people.
Recently, I’ve been coming across a lot of people on twitter tweeting about their visits to Mizoram. I wonder if this particular author is one of those people whose tweets I saw. He/She goes on to write about the Mizo Taj Mahal, the fact that we don’t honk our horns and how we show respect to other drivers, and about our honesty. Makes you smile on a dreaded Monday morning, doesn’t it?

@Sandman : Delights indeed, not just for a Monday but moon-days! I keep on smiling as I pick words for this!
Mizo Taj Mahal? Islamic Shah Jehan had only one wife, though.
Honesty Box … solely depends on customers.
Honk? Feeble or loud honking —speed and jams remain the same every rush-hour! Dancing wings and whistles rule!
