Mizo books and authors in Amazon part 1

Since there is not much work these few days, I got bored. I opened my Amazon apps and ponders if and how many Mizo entrepreneurs are making use of the platform. So, I simply typed in "Mizo" in the search bar and glad to find that there are books written by Mizo authors, all in English. 

So, I thought of sharing them here:

Picnic at Landmark Recreation Centre, Aizawl

 

Once upon a time, I'd update my blog quite regularly. Time change, people change and I neglected my blog for a long time, though I wanted to update it from time to time.

A month back, we had our office in Landmark Recreation Centre, Aizawl. I thought of writing about that day but changed my mind and decided to write about the centre briefly.

Pros:

1. The place is beautiful



2. You get - swimming pool, basketball court cum futsal court, beach volleyball court, and places to hang out



3. Water is clean


4. Not far from the city yet private







Cons:

1. Expensive. Some might say it is reasonable but I find it super expensive

2. Food

Outside food is not allowed. If you are to have your food there, you have to make an order from their catering service only. Worst of all, the food is not good. At a cost of RS 350 per plate, the food were limited, and not good at all.



The experience with the catering service was poor. Food order was made to be serves at 14:00. However, when we asked if the food was ready, they were not even close to finish preparing. Their answer was "we still have to cook chicken and rice", and "it is still early" Nope, that was a sign of bad service (not to mention poor quality of food served). After waiting for another hour, food was finally served. And when we reached the food counter, noodles were no longer available (mind you, 85 plates were ordered, and there were max 50 of us (with children). So, it was another 20 minutes wait.
