Episode 045 FindingTheVoices : Being a Father, Special podcast from my 81 years old Father Ingudam Tomba Singh

I really admire his honesty, keeping time and his word, most importantly his value of raising and educating his kids without any difference of gender. This podcast was recorded on Father’s Day on June 16 2013 where he shares about raising, educating and treating kids equally without any differences based on Gender. And I thank FindingTheVoices for such wonderful special moments with my Father,  Ingudam Tomba Singh where we can speak and share his wonderful thoughts. I thank him for raising me with gender equality and giving me the gift of education. Also I have to thank (though hard at that time !!) for the special bamboo stick (LiChei) treatment, which he got specially from Bishenpur in Manipur for all 4 of us. By the time we all passed out our 10th Grade, I must say all these sticks were battered towards the end.

Today is his 81st birthday and we wish him a very Happy Birthday and pray for his good health.

Listen to his previous Episode where he his journey of getting education growing up from his Village Oinam in Manipur.  I am proud to present his wonderful story about growing up from a village and how he strived to study against all odds and proving how important EDUCATION is. He wouldn’t care and gave up materialistic items, but made sure that all his 4 children are educated inspite of the financial constraints, treating sons and daughters equally. I believe in EEMUL : Ema Epa Mitna Uba Laini (Parents are living God) and yes he is my living God.   I am blessed to have the honour to talk with Ingudam Tomba Singh, retired from Lilong Houreibi College and Vice Principal from Oriental College, Imphal and my Father.

This podcast is in Meitei Lon (Manipuri) Language.

Episode 037 FindingTheVoices : Bhumenjoy Konsam sharing about making of the Manipuri animated movie Keibu-kei-oiba

/ Monica Ingudam / 3 Comments

This podcast  (in Meitei-Lon/Manipuri language) details the making of Manipuri animated movie Keibu-kei-oiba (The man who turns into a tiger) which is based on a popular Manipuri folktale by Bhumenjoy Konsam. I watched the movie with my kids. We enjoyed it and loved it. I was amazed that they sat through the whole movies and now they are running all over playing “Thong Handok-o, Thong Handok-o”

This episode is all about the making of the movie Keibu-kei-oiba , Bhumenjoy shares the challenges in making the story as an animated movie, developing, building, designing up each character, each scene creating from a blank frame to creating everything from scratch making the 84 minutes movie. It is amazing to hear about the voice over details for each of the characters.

The whole team put a lot of effort in making this movie, consulting and researching so that it is presented very authentic in terms of music, even the musical instrument and script used. Hats off to the whole team. Thanks for this wonderful gift to the Manipuri community.

In the previous Episode 36 Bhumenjoy Konsam, shared about himself, about how his career shaped from studying from Chemistry to Multimedia, choosing career between a low paying Multimedia job of Rs 2500 versus a Govt. Job as Army officer of Rs 8000. Even though it was a tough path to follow and choose his passion, despite raising eyebrows from people in leaving the traditional path, Bhumenjoy followed his passion.
