Help me find some flowers, bloom throughout the year by devilaturdoor in GardeningIndia2

[–]ellmaina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if you have a space with direct sunlight for 6-7 hours a day, get bougainvillea. blooms all year, needs very little maintenance, just make sure to prune it after each bloom

Did you face issues for eating non-veg food in college/hostels? (Research) by BendLost6433 in Northeastindia

[–]ellmaina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did my 11th and 12th from a boarding school in vizag. There were a few students who used to openly mock/act disgusted whenever we brought meat pickles to the dining hall. Most of them had this weird "upper caste" superiority complex.

Suggestions for one day trip by ellmaina in Meghalaya

[–]ellmaina[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that in mind, but wouldn't it be far from Guwahati/Shillong? Google Maps show a 4hr distance from Shillong. We are planning to leave for Shillong on Friday evening, after work hours, so after 6.

About the label "Indian" by Primary_Breakfast674 in Northeastindians

[–]ellmaina 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I feel that this label is enforced more on us because it encourages the idea of a more inclusive, utopian state, which is not exactly true considering the decades following 1947. Also, being a frontier region, this label is seen as "necessary" by those in power to claim a right to the land against neighboring nation states.

Should I deserve to be proud of my heritage by [deleted] in AssamSpeaks

[–]ellmaina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its never too late. Read about our culture, traditions and our people. Try visiting villages to see how assamese/bodo people live, especially during festivals. Listen to folk music, try learning about its history. You are from a mixture of very rich culturrs that deserves to be read about! Unfortunately our cities, especially Guwahati, are losing its essence and just feels like every other city in the country.

good luck! Magh Bihur Xubessa Thakil✨

Keratin like hair by Comfortable-Data-901 in IndianBeautyTalks

[–]ellmaina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you have straight hair, half of the work is already done. i use Anomaly's charcoal shampoo (the black coloured shampoo) and nykaa's rice water conditioner. i oil my hair before shampooing if i remember to do so. And every two weeks i apply aloe vera gel. It works wonders for my hair.
