Everyone has a different life journey from others. In that journey itself, we generally experience either happy or sad moments. My journey is filled with a lot of eventful and unique moments. The following is the story about my life journey which begins until the day where I stand today.
It includes my family backgrounds, my schooling, my graduation to Ph.D., my research career (Dr. KSKRA fellowship at BARC, Scientific Officer position at BARC), my significant contributions to the society, recognitions/awards, and my words.
My family backgrounds:
I was born of a poor and illiterate family of (Late) Ningthoujam Kula Singh and (Late) Ningthoujam Ongbi Akoijam Meipak Devi of Thoubal Achouba, Makha Leikai, on 16th August, 1970 (Sunday). But my date of birth is found to be recorded as 1st February, 1972.
I am the 10th and the youngest child in the family of ten children. Presently, only elder brother (N. Lalhari Singh) and elder sister (Lisam Ongbi Ningthoujam Sakhitombi Devi) are alive. Some of our siblings had lost their lives before I was born, except one sister (Late) N. Shanti Devi and (Late) N. Memcha Devi.
Coming to my family life, I was married to Thounaojam Promila Devi, daughter of Late Thounaojam Modhu Singh and Thounaojam Ongbi Yumnam Ibemhal Devi, on 1st March 2002 (Fig. 2). My wife has 2 more younger sisters and one elder brother (Late Th. Dhiren Singh). We are now parents of one son and one daughter. The names of my son and daughter are Ningthoujam Sirdhartha (born on 09/12/2002) and Ningthoujam Manileima (born on 15/05/2004) respectively.
My Schooling
Nursery
The most important memory of my early childhood is about my early schooling. I clearly remember my first day at school and the memories of this day are still vivid. I started my 1st pre-school study (known as Mapi) at Bamol school (Keina) located at Thoubal Achouba, Manipur.
I used to go to school along with my elder sister (Late Ningthoujam Shanti Devi). Thereafter, I changed my school to Kanga Senbi School where I completed my class I and II.
