[00:00:00]Here, I'm just I'm just coming out from my work. I'm just showing the birds that is singing. Ah, there.

[00:00:07]Ah, there, see.

[00:00:18]Singing.

[00:00:23]There's so many of them.

[00:00:28]So, I'm just coming out from my work.

[00:00:31]And that's what I wanted to See, there are birds sound everywhere.

[00:00:37]I know.

[00:00:38]The whole Can you just Can you hear?

[00:00:42]The birds are singing.

[00:00:43]So, it's very relaxing relaxing relaxing to listen to birds singing.

[00:00:50]It's It's always, you know, a pleasant experience. So, I'm just coming back from work. I'll go to I'll go and pick up my kids.

[00:00:58]And um Maybe I'll do some I'll continue talking in the parking because my son will be having you know a extra class.

[00:01:09]It's a voluntary from We have We have registered him for extra class. It is the school's director that do the extra class for them. Instead of doing homework, they do homework at school.

[00:01:21]So, I'll see you. I'll go to school.

[00:01:24]So, as I'm waiting for my son to go and pick them.

[00:01:29]Uh my kid younger son is okay. He is He must be ready if I go and I can take him, but my older son he's doing his extra class.

[00:01:37]That is not compulsory for everyone, but we we we we wanted him to do some work small works at school.

[00:01:43]So, that you know, he finishes Usually, he does it at home homework.

[00:01:48]But here every Monday, they can do they can take an options to do it at school.

[00:01:53]So, we let him stay there. So, he's doing his homework now with his uh classmates. So, uh what I wanted to say is that I'll just continue the topic that I've been talking about, the birds.

[00:02:04]Here, uh the spring has come. Now, the grains are coming out, the seeds are coming out. So, we don't feed the birds anymore. But, in winter, when there's no, you know, snow everywhere or so so cold, what we do is every household, you know, like us, we buy uh seeds for um nurture for birds. And what we do is we put it outside so they can they they have something to eat or even water. In summer, what we do is we put the water, a bowl of water, outside so that they can come and eat. So, there are thousands and thousands of birds around my house, you know, so many birds in this town. I mean, in every town in France it's like that, you know, you cannot just kill the birds like that.

[00:02:44]So, uh every morning, sometimes, whenever I'm having off or during my holidays, I come out and I just listen to their song, to their bird sound, and it really relaxes me.

[00:02:55]And um what I wanted to say is that, you know, see, my my son's school is there at the back. So, we'll wait until until uh some maybe 10 to 15 minutes until he finishes uh homework.

[00:03:09]So, uh what I wanted to say is that the you know, the French uh French and Nagas. So, I have this topic came to my mind since this morning at the work. So, I was thinking maybe um I talk a little bit about that. In uh you know, in Nagamese, say moi. Moi la gana, moi tu, moi na. So, m o i. So, in French also, moi we don't pronounce it moi, we pronounce it moi. Uh that means o i is pronounced as wa in French. So, it means moi. It means me, too. So, it's it has got the same uh same spelling and same meaning. And uh not a different uh pronounc- uh it's a different pronunciation, but same meaning.

[00:03:49]And one thing about um uh uh Nagas and French, the similarities between Nagas and Nagas and French just is that are there so many points I'll tell tell you and the the the opposite also.

[00:04:01]Uh the Nagas are very fashionista, you know, uh Nagas love fashion. Uh we Not me.

[00:04:10]>> [laughter] >> Most Nagas uh love fashion, you know, so French people, too. They love fashion.

[00:04:15]So many, you know, um high-profile fashion designer uh comes from um French uh France. And also I've seen so many Nagas being a very popular French uh fashion designer. So I think uh that in that point we're similar. And also in our, you know, politeness, Nagas are very polite, you know, they respect women. Same thing in in France, French people are very polite.

[00:04:43]But one thing the difference between French and Nagas is that French people doesn't hide. They speaks their mind out. That means they don't hesitate to They don't They don't really care what you are what you will feel uh with the thing that they want to say.

[00:04:57]Like for example, if they're not happy, they will tell you directly I'm not happy because you did that, you know. If uh we Nagas are a little bit a little bit we we we try to, you know, we tolerate we just try to don't we try not to hurt people. So So we Nagas, that's the difference between Nagas and French. But we are both of us both Nagas and French, we are very polite, very, you know, respectable um uh towards others, especially women.

[00:05:23]There's you know, what I have experienced is that, you know, uh there's um respect towards women. Uh Naga society, the man doesn't, you know, just um just um uh suppress the women. So that's the the same thing between Nagas and French. And um the like I've said, Nagas and French, we are very, you know, we like stinky foods.

[00:05:47]Like akuni and stinky beans or so many other stinky fermented, you know, fermented one and French loves to, you know, I don't know whether have you have or you come across French cheese. It's very very very stinky, but they love it.

[00:06:03]Like we Nagas we are addicted to akuni.

[00:06:06]They also they are addicted to this, you know, French I mean this cheese. Very very very stinky cheese, but it's very good. You have to use you have to be used to be thick. So now I'm beginning to like it.

[00:06:17]At first I didn't like it. Now I love that I eat that. And like Nagas are, you know, addicted to rice, French people are addicted to baguette. It's a you know French bread, long one. It's very good. They can't eat food without that except my husband. He's different. So another one is, you know, Nagas are very adventurous. They they they like to adventure especially in food, you know, taste new things, try to eat new things.

[00:06:42]That's why we Nagas eat everything. And Nagas eat loves eating meat. And same thing French, they loves eating meat.

[00:06:49]They are changing because of health problems and all, but they they loves eating meat. And you know, like Nagas they have different different different types of recipe. Nagas we have every you know every tribe every community is every town every village has got their own, you know, way of cooking has their own have their own recipe. Same way we French French people they have their own recipe and you know, the chief the chef the the you know, chef the the high profile chef they invent so many new recipes. So when you go to, you know, libraries and all you get lots of cooking books invented by, you know, so many French French chefs.

[00:07:30]So another one is the the the thing that um Nagas difference between Nagas and French is that Nagas are, you know, from childhood we are not bilingual but trilingual, four languages. Children, they know three, four languages, how to speak. And the French people, most of them they are monolingual, you know, monolingual we we say. So, the French people they speak only French. They are very patriotic like Nagas. French are very patriotic. I think you have heard about French Revolution.

[00:08:01]They have they fight for the for the country like Nagas. We are very patriotic. I feel maybe it's not true but what I've seen, what I've experienced is that Nagas are very patriotic like French. So, there's a similarities between that. And um French, the the major difference between French and Nagas is that in France, you know, if people find out that there's a corruption there's a injustice in the society, the whole population they will move. They will go forward and do manifestation and they will break everything. They will, you know, French people doesn't corruption.

[00:08:43]French people doesn't tolerate injustice. So, that's why I think in school we talk about we studied about the French Revolution. They have killed their king, queen. They have killed the whole entire family because they were angry. Because at that time the French people they were having, you know, famine. They didn't have food to eat but the queen who was from Austria Austrian queen who married French king Louis XIV, Louis No, Louis XV. So, the French people they asked for, you know, that they asked the queen the king and queen not to take too much, you know, the ration because the the common people they have to give every month the food, you know, whatever they have cultivated.

[00:09:25]Certain percentage of food they have to give it to the king and the king and all they they were not they are not hungry and moreover they were throwing foods away like that. They were wasting food. So, they came to know about that and the people they said that take less because we have less harvest this year, but the queen he just said eat whatever you you have cultivated, whatever you have in your home. So, that the French people they got angry and they started revolting. That is called French Revolution. It's a very very very known history in in I think in school we have in Nagaland. I don't know whether the children they still study about that, but when I was young in school days I studied about that. So, even now that same blood, you know, that same that same you know, that burning you know, that that intolerance to these corruptions to this injustice is still there. So, in the French society if some politicians or someone is corrupted, of course, all the people will be on the street going to his office or his, you know, collabor- collaborators to destroy everything. So, that's why the politicians they are a bit afraid, you know, they don't has- they hesitate to pass the laws against when the people are just to say no. They don't pass the laws just like that, you know, there's a debates there's a debates and when they feel that that it's burning, it's going to explode, they just stop. They don't do it. That's the one thing. But, Nagas, what I've seen in Nagas among Nagas is that you are too kind.

[00:10:50]You are too kind. You are just you know, you don't say anything. You just let things go away.

[00:10:56]Because I have heard I don't know if any experience, but there are so many corruptions, so many, you know, on the above level. What I have seen, what I have heard, I'm not sure I don't have any proof, but what I have seen with that but people we Nagas you you keep silent. You don't say anything. You're just living, you know, you just you you are not angry.

[00:11:16]I think you are too kind.

[00:11:18]We Nagas are too kind. That's the one thing, good point, but only one side, you know, some people are maybe maybe maybe if we move a little bit, maybe they might change or may it might not change or it might change. We don't know. I don't know. But that is a difference between Nagas and French.

[00:11:34]French people, they will go directly.

[00:11:37]They won't They don't wait. Uh if something goes something is not, you know, clear. Uh some corruptions are there, they will go and fight. But we Nagas, you are so kind. You're too kind.

[00:11:50]But stay the same.

[00:11:51]I'll say that. That's why I love you all, Nagas.

[00:11:54]You know, I just admire you all.

[00:11:57]I won't stop admiring you all because whatever it comes in my life, whatever people says, I won't stop admiring. And thank you so much for your support.
