Nongma gi esagi tougadaba, maru oiba ethou khara loisil laga ngyhak pothaba oina eshei taage khallak e, watpa-leppa leitana phongnarak-e-ba eramdam gi eshei mayam gi manungda kari anouba nungaiba eshei amuk thoklak labano yenge khanduna, thiba hourak khi youtube ki site ta.

Chaokhatlakpagi matung inna, eikhoi leibak su lamjel adum yangna chenjari. Mangjil tharaga chelliba mapal lam atei ga changdam narubadi toujadana, esagi potential ga esagi product ka changdam najaraga haijabani.

Khanghoude, eshei nongmaigi video su high definition (HD) da namba hourak le, karamna kamaina nambano haibadi, lamsida kupthana khangba makhoina da khangani. Chaokhatlak pagi matung inna, houkhraba chatnabi natki oiba phijet chakcha kayada based touba music video uba phanglak khi. Pukning huba makhei fajaba kayani. Oidaba haiba di hounade, puthorak liba khudingmak ti loina apamba di oide bo (waroubiroi).

Saidon tubat kak, chinghi samlang lang, nappa da nachom ama, karamna toubajatno kayam na ningthibajatno khalak e matam amagi eche 'Toro' do? Eche 'Thoibi' budi, pang-o ma-o re, ayekpa laida keida, ado eche Toro sina kamdouba jatno khangninglak khi eihakna.

Eina takhibabadi, samlang gase khoirap touradana, sak kase rashi yam na leikhi hai, matam dugi fashion gadi khitang budi chanafattaba jatni, houjik kan ga oiram madi ebung 'Khamba' kaya eche Thoibi gumba kayada taa langsinlubagi tanja su fanglam daba yai.

Masi na wari amani, ama amuk khalakpa da thaina etaroi mayam do, inaphi bu karamna inba jatno? Mitna ubana sakhi oina thaja galliba eikhoini houjik ti, houjikan gi album da retro look ni haiduna innariba innaphigi khu-in, setliba phanek khuset sina chumlibajatla? Mittaga urak ae eche Thoibi-Toro hoina mataroi mayam ga koiba ba chatlam gadabado, nachom ga chillada Loktak pat romdaga hangchit ka langam gadaba do.

Eche Thoibi-toro hoi wari sari ngei, eche 'Saphabee', 'Ingallei' hoi gi amuk wakhal khalak ae. Samlang budi hairap mana na mitta uhan bire, cinema album da uthokpirak pagi matung inna. Aduda phijet-chakcha haibadi inaphi-phanek ki phijol budi mana na ubadi ngamdare, makhoi di houjikki matam faoba setnariba mapan khoi mayek lonba phanek mayek naibi si setpa mandebo.

Masina kadom dagi kamaina karamba matam dagi ahongba lakhiba jatno amuk khallak ae. Nupi ni ! ake-amou, phijet-chakcha , chatnabigi gi maram sidi adum khangningba jatni mahousadagi oina. Eche Engallei hairaga, eche ama amuk ningsinglak ae.

"Lamphel nawa kombhirei, napam nungsi setnarei,nungsi panthung tamna lei, nura na tinang khulak ta leirang mabu leichil naraga apam nungsi waithung naraga setna khainei tamlam laba maale", wahei kharasisu handak ta nouna album amagi background music oina khunung eshei oina matek ama yaoram badagi khangjabani. Asi amuk taruraga, khallakhi eche 'Kombhirei' gi wari sina kamdouriba jatno haina?

Ming oina panba-tabada di khangbagum su tou, gyan tana khangdaba mi dabudi tak o hairaga gana hek khangda bagum tou, ekaibadum faorak ae, esagi eche, etaroi mayam gi maramda karimta khangam daba, kadaidabu thiruni kamaina abu khangluni? Wari-Lairik na kadom dano, cinema oina phongkhiba singsi na kadomda video library nattraga cassette oina mayam gidamak thambijatno?

Record leihoudraba sak-khang, mai-khangnadraba eche/ebung kayamuk na amuk leiriba jatno khallak e amuk eina? Wari pamba eikhoidi, wari oina libiraga tabasu nungaijei, lairik paba kayana chena chebang-chebang kaya phaktuna paba oijasano adubo luribadi wari na kana libini, chebang na kadai da phanglamni? Adusu amuk khangloi doribani eikhoidi.

Mayam na etihas oina khangnaraba, thaina gi wareng-seireng da seithabirambagum nungsel gumnadi langdraba, ashangba phumdi, phatt-haodi na thallaba "Loktak Pat" ki emai o-bada anirak suna khantharuba toudana, eikhoi gi wakhal da lakliba "Khamba-Thoibi", seireng sibo kana kana panaraba jatno? Esasu paba loijadri, nongmadi soidana loisin khini haina asha budi toujari.

Eikhoi na khangjaba di chada khaktani, khangdriba mayam ama leiribasina kadai kadai da lottuna leibajatno?

"Keku-Lotpi" bu oiriba jatla?
