Inspite of devoting five to six hours daily on her lesson, Daina is by no means a bookworm and blind to the happening around her.

She loves playing lawn tennis and listening to music.

On the issues confronting the State today, she has this to say, 'Violence incidence of killing and crimes that are taking place in Manipur almost on daily basis is very sad.

Frequent calling of bandh and blockade seriously affects the academic career of the students.

So it is high time for all the people to ensure this trend do not continue.

Moreover, increase in crime rate in the society today is unfortunate for all of us'.
