Tell us a little about your background I am from Jowai, West Jaintia Hills. Both my
parents passed away when I was in high school. But my sisters and I were lucky to have extended family and friends who helped us all throughout. My younger sisters live in Meghalaya. I completed my 12th in 2008 but left my studies after I started to play football. I wanted to explore opportunities in sports.
Why did you choose to become a football referee and not footballer?

MUSINGS OF A SOLDIER: TIT-BITS
People often ask me about my life out of uniform. Honestly, I have had no problems. Not so far. Instead, I find it quite refreshing. No routine, no parades, no briefing, no impending operations. Having donned the uniform since the age of thirteen until I hung up my boots last year, could I ever visualize life out of uniform? Not really. But, as I said, the transition has been quite smooth–no hang-overs, no regrets. People have been very positive in their interactions. Government departments have been responsive whenever I have approached for assistance.The genuine respect for the uniform is quite evident and it makes my heart swell with pride. Arunachal, to that extent, is the most nationalistic state in the country, I daresay. It has been kind of a revelation for me to experience the freedom of being a common man in an environment of positivity!
