New Delhi, India.

I was born on 20 March 1986 at Shillong, India. My Dad's name is Pynbiang S. Nongbri and my Mom's name is Norma J. Dkhar. I have 2 younger bros Jovaniel Dkhar and Brandon Dkhar. I am married to Samanda Shisha Syiem.

My 1st school was Sherwood in Tura where my Mom was working as a teacher. We later shifted to Shillong and I completed my schooling at St. Edmund's. I did my graduation Bio-tech from St. Anthony's. I shifted to New Delhi in 2007 for MSc Water Resources Management from TERI university. I'm working with Center for Himalayan Ecology, The Energy and Resources Institute, New Delhi on research related to sustainability of Himalayan Ecosystem specifically on cryosphere and water resources management.

It was in Delhi that I met the love of my life Samanda, we've been together ever since. Here's a poem about

When We Met

It was a lazy Delhi October evening;Little did I know a girl I’d be meeting. For Nick’s party I went to buy beer;Our time to meet was drawing near.

As I came back with two 12 bottle packs; With whiskey and vodka bottles in my bag, I dragged the beer cases to the kitchen, N checked her out while she was sitting.

She had a sexy cool tight fitting green tee shirt on, n low waist jeans to go with them too, While I looked like I just got out of the loo, In my banyan n shorts, actin like a don.

I thought that she looked very familiar, But I was sure it’s the first time I’ve seen her, As the party started I got chicken hearted. Searching for an opening n get to introducing.

As the music tracks were pumping, to the beats was crazy dancing. People got on the floor, and started to shake some more; There she was bootylicious, which got me so delirious. Who is this chick I got to know and get her number before she goes.

There was a little head banging, to rock music which was blaring, All the others in a drunken stupor shook their heads with such fervour. Little did they realise it’s the making of a brilliant hangover. But in the corner there she stood and her little head she slightly shook.

I saw my chance, to break the ice, I turned to her and showed my head banging skills are nice. The music slowed down a bit for two people; to dance by the hip. Our first touch it was funny, it was initiated by my tummy.

That October evening brought me to a girl I’ve been searching, To be my soul mate, the one I wake up to every morning.
