I spent a large chunk of my life in Behiang but that’s not the only reason why I love this sleepy little village. Here are a few quotable quotes (or is it Unquotable quotes?) that make life so colourful in this border village. From the amusing to confusing; from the painfully honest to the intellectually stimulating; life in Behiang can be pretty challenging:-)
- The Complicated:
-Hia ah eh pi bang eh a hia aw?
- The Confusing:
-Pu, hiai na akpi uh a
- The Simpleton:
-No sangkah ding te pawl kuan pahpah ding in, ong ciah pahpah ding nai’ ve vua…
- The more-than-meet-the-eye:
-Hia bawng eh koi thah ee?
- Or, the in-your-face:
-Numeite pi khuai de tawh ki bang, baw leulou…
- The Painfully Honest:
-Tu zan, tuivai lei a ka kiat lup suh, si
- The Neighbourly:
-NL, tua mihai zaate ong sut sawm uh le ut koh; nuamlo lua, ki haizo leh kilawm…
- Or, may-be-not-so-close:
-Pawt khe koi un, nou nepali-te Ni (aunt) ding hi kha koi sing…
- The Brain stroming:
-Pu, vom a mul a san in dye leng vom mah a ki ci lai dia..?
- The Super Brain:
-A pucca road bawl uh nou,
- The Diverse:
-Vok thah thah thah ding; thah loh loh thah loh ding…
-Tengkol a tui lai in tui sih, a tui
- The Geek:
-My village, my water…(Ka khua, ka tui…)
- And finally the One Hundred Percent Confident:
-E-ka-deh! Ka mai lah ung san lawh aa..!

Some people have totally misunderstood what is being written here. I want to clarify that I was born and brought up in Behiang, and in fact, some of the quotes come from my own family! And, I must add here that I am very proud of them!
Plz. note that there's no intention to malign Behiang and/or its inhabitants. If you fail to find the humour in here, I can only offer you my sympathy!
Cheers!
