The call of poetry is a call that many respond to especially when it comes to our stories, teachings and Mother nature. Experiences enrich our understanding of life within culture and heritage, leading the way to creating living structures of thought and emotion in poetry.
Khasi phrases express a characteristic worldview which is simultaneously entertaining and didactic. They teach important lessons about life and how to be a better individual.
It is fun to learn and understand the meaning behind Khasi phrases, which broaden the scope of the language and deepen its meaning.
Folktales are at the heart of the Khasi oral tradition embodying belief, values, myth, history and landscape.
