I am proud to present you the interview with Bijou Thaangjam,sharing his experience participating in Master Chef India and reality TV show Super Santa with bollywood movie star Asin.

He shares amazing details of the grooming phase and trainings he received as part of the show. Being a Foodie myself, It was very interesting to know all the details behind the show. I am very impressed and proud that he used many recipes inspired/customized from traditional Manipuri recipe (Chagempomba, tharoi thongba, Nganum etc.) which took him to top 50. Also he shared many other interesting projects he is working on (T-shirt branding to promote Manipur, Cooking show and food festivals all over India, Pressure-point therapist, Acting/Modelling projects).

I am so touched to hear his journey, such a strong young man coming up all the way from being a victim of bullying, going through doing all possible odd jobs with strong aspirations to finally become a public figure/Celebrity and motivate young people and guide them. Such a admirable thought and aim. Wishing Bijou Good Luck and success in his career.

Episode 003 FindingTheVoices Interview with Mohen Naorem Director and Producer of My Japanese Niece from Manipur

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Enjoy the interview with Mohen Naorem, founder of Legend Studio, a global film making company promoting independent filmmakers and talents focusing in making feature films, shorts documentaries and animation particulary focusing on making historical movies related to manipur and issues of Manipur for the global audience. He is currently working as a Director/Producer of a very interesting movie “My Japanese Niece”.

Listen to hear about his journey and preparation in making of “My Japanese Niece “, details about bonding & friendship between Japanese and Manipuri people. This movie is particularly interesting for me (and I am sure for many others in Manipur) as I have grown up hearing stories about Japanese during the war from my Father.

He also talks about why he is behind making the documentary “The Uprising”, movie “School Karusi” and  other upcoming interesting historical movies of Manipur in the pipeline. Kudos to Mohen Naorem in taking these initiatives taking up projects based and related to history of Manipur. This will create a message and a great resource for everyone. Also he makes a very interesting observation that films are the only way to reach the youth of Manipur.

Thanks to all the viewers and listeners from 27 countries, crossing 2000 hits today …
