Dimapur, Jan. 31(EMN): “Daily grace”, a book written by A Lumtsala Sangtam was launched on Monday by R Tsapikiu Sangtam, president of Eastern Naga People’s Organisation (ENPO) at Room 03, Nagarjan in Dimapur.
During the programme, she shared that the book is a list of lessons she was taught in life. She has narrated 100 lessons life has taught her.
‘Starting from the little things in life, I realised God teaches us a lot of lessons every single day and therefore I decided to write down what I was taught every single day,’ she shared, adding that this was how her ‘penful’ journey began.
“The day I accepted God my life changed and I started to see everything in a positive way and that was the turning point of my life. Every time I go through something, I try to learn a lesson from that moment and the book is a result of that”, she added.
She shared that she decided to share the lessons she learnt, believing that it would help someone who is going through the same, in one way or another.
The publisher and chief editor of Heritage Publication House Lanusangla Tzudir stated that writing a book is a collective responsibility ‘because when we write about our self or about an individual story, we write about community, the issues that that we have come to terms with, our aspirations and the visions that we as an individual or community is striving for’.
She also encouraged the young people by saying that ‘we are all storytellers, and thus we have to take it as our responsibility to write because if we do not write, our story will just go untold’. She added that the book will teach us not to take life for granted.
The president of ENPO R Tsapikiu Sangtam also congratulated the author and shared that it is not easy to put one’s thoughts and feelings into a book ‘as one should have powerful and spontaneous thinking’.
