Best Pictures of Aizawl – the “city on a hill”! Mizoram
I’m borrowing a statement made by ‘Canadian Heart Warmers’ who beautifully described Aizawl city, the capital of Mizoram state in the Northeast, a city within India’s Bible Belt as Biblically inspired term – the “city on a hill.” The best pictures that portray such statements are then collected from flickr, they are posted below:

Chibai,
I was born n brought up in Aizawl. I have spent my childhood days i,e rosy days. I find quite a no of mizos in Delhi but most of them had become like North Indians and so
i don’t mingle with them much. Sad, right!!!!!!!
I don’t meant to hurt the sentiment but to express the ground realities. Thank you, ka lawm e.

Hi Souvik, the best way is to know more about the state is to visit in person. However, you will need an Inner Line Permit (someone call it a Visa to restricted area within India) to enter Mizoram. You can get it from Mizoram House in Kolkata or elsewhere.

ka lo kal dawn,
Recently two of my childhood friend passed away. I regret that on there final journey
I couldn’t accompanied them to the ” bed to heaven”. I really missed you. Subash subba
and Denis ( Donated your eyes ) as per the newspaper site that I normally go thru every
week. Its been years that I haven’t gone back to my hometown and I am repenting and
curse myself. My eyes fills with tears when I recollect the wonderful times spent, do weird
things and what not……. We will meet.
I wish a remote controller was in my hand which saves life. Unfortunately such ………
God’s call.
Ka ngai lutuk che u. ka ti nge min nghak lo-
Hmang tha, van ramah kan kawm dawn nia.

I grew up in Aizawl city. These pictures make me wanna go home! I miss the food, the weather, my friends, my family. The energy I get in Aizawl is something beyond physical, it feels like I put my finger inside an electric socket everytime I go there. When I was studying for my college in Aizawl city, my friends and I used to attend pool side parties at the outskirt picnic spots, those were one of the best times of my life, the party goes on till morning, sometimes it ends sooner, summer was the hype of the party season, commercial ones that even have proper theme and a name, The Pink Party for instance, it was held in 2008 at a picnic spot near the old Tuikual airfield; pink was all over as the name suggested, pink balloons on the pool, pink ribbons, pink disposable cubs, pink drinks (illegal ones) and if you’re popular, party organizers wants you to be there so tickets come in for free courtesy of my famous for being gay friend Goosh Vangchhia (gooshness.blogspot.com) the long rides we used to take, rides without any destinations, the stranger that puts out her hand from a moving vehicle to touch your hand just to prove that she is having fun. I can go on and on. I would say that, everywhere I go, I search for Aizawl, when I’m in London, I search for Aizawl, when I’m in Tokyo, the same thing. I will wrap this yacking by saying that all I want to do right now is to hang out at the Aizawl mall, smoke weed, and stare at people..
