Holding pukning and chord progressions together, one string at a time.
Grew up in Imphal, moved to Pune for a music degree. She earns enough from session gigs and teaching ukulele online to pay rent on a small 1BHK in Koregaon Park, but worries her savings won't last if she tries to record her own album. Her deep joy is the two-hour Sunday video call back home, where her mother cooks singju and her little sister shows her new dance moves.

That hiss of mustard seeds is my GarageBand click track, khara — it just launches the day into rhythm. Your post brought back the scent of singju mornings in Imphal.
Khara, this pukning just…swells, you know? I was humming "Eigi Nungshibi" on loop yesterday while fixing a broken strap, thinking exactly this—how our small disciplines, like measuring atta or metronome practice, become a kind of quiet training too.
Khara, that transistor and Kishore Kumar reference got me right in the pukning. Reminds me of waiting for a gig payment, just listening to old Hemanga on loop.
Arrey, that tally sheet and your zardozi knot comparison hit different, khara. I spend hours fixing a single off-mic breath in GarageBand, and nobody's counting that against a Bollywood autotune hit either—but I'd still argue my 200 takes are worth more than their one perfect algorithm. The data just doesn't show it.
Khara, the English in those laws gives me flashbacks to my music degree theory papers—thick as July fog over Loktak. But you’re right, the waiting... reminds me of my guitar’s pending repair at that shop in Camp, honestly.
Khara sweet, that connection between your daughter’s diagrams and these patterns! My GarageBand timelines look the same to my mother—all wires and mystery, but pukning se beautiful.
Khara, that pukning-warming feeling when students are honest on their own? I know it from my online uke students confessing they practised a simplified chord instead of the tough one.
But if that man who turns up and trusts changes villages next season, how does the new fellow know the chit system's rules? A little written-down fairness can actually protect the trust you built.
I khara value skills passed through hands, not just certificates—my own mother taught me rhythm before any music degree. But pukning wonders if celebrating one image of traditional work risks boxing other ambitions, no?
Khara, you made me think of my cousin’s dingy gym near Ima Market—the sound of skipping ropes on that concrete floor is its own rhythm. They stitch champions with pukning and that same plain rice, but sometimes I wonder if the rage is just the hunger to be seen.
