Once for self now for them
Chirom kingking Devi 1998 (Manipur)
Everything in the beginning starts out your way.
Playing to enjoy youth,
Learning to fulfill curiosity,
Writing to please yourself ,
But when it becomes professional
It developes into performing their way
Play to impress the audience
Learn to develope the society
And write to please the readers
Its funny how you grew up being yourself
And all you've got to do is be what they want.
