For the sake of my dear non-Mizo visitors, let me explain the concept of “Bial KTP Conference” again.
KTP stands for “Kristian Thalai Pawl” which literally means “Christian Youth Group”. Every Presbyterian Kohhran (Church) has a KTP. A Bial (circle) consists of a couple of Kohhrans headed by a designated Pastor. Hence a KTP Conference is an occasion (3 days) when all the KTP members of different Kohhrans belonging to the same Bial interact with each other by going to the same Church, having discussions, fellowship programs etc.
As mentioned in my previous post, Chaltlang Bial consists of Chaltlang Branch (1954), Laipuitlang Branch (1986), Lily Veng Branch (1988) and Chaltlang South Branch (2002). It was indeed a great experience for me, considering the fact that this was my first KTP Conference since I’m never in Mizoram during this particular time of the year.
Some of the photos I took are displayed below.
Girls will be girls. I spent most of the morning waiting for them to get ready.

My cousin posing, and me in front of “Almost Unreal’s” house .
One of my friends said that “Bial Inkhawmpui” is also a perfect time for single guys and girls to keep a lookout for a probable partner!
No wonder whenever I was introduced to a girl, the first thing the people who introduced us always mention was, “nula fel a ni” (She’s a good girl). Lolz.
One thing I have noticed is that, many people regard anyone who regularly participate in KTP activities to be “good”. Evangelist Zairemmawia gave a very good sermon on this topic too. We need to change our mind-set regarding this notion. Ofcourse taking part in such activities is a noble deed when it comes to devotion, but there are a few individuals who do nothing in life, don’t help out with the house chores, waste their time the whole day, and when it is time for the KTP service, they are the first ones to reach the Church! All they care about is their public image. Being a good Christian is not just about the Church service alone! That’s just the icing. Duty to family and parents are also a part of duty to God.
Ah oh, I met a couple of KTP members from different Branches who came up to me and asked me if I am Sandman! Lolz. I just grinned and cautiously asked them why first Anyway, I did get quite a number of handshakes that night, from people I’ve never met before who read my articles online. Here’s to all of you out there -> lots of love and prayers. Hoping to meet you all again on next year’s KTP Bial Conference. God bless.

hehhe....great pics!!! Hma-i chaltlang nula fel...oink!!! she'll be glad to hear this.
And thats the kinda sermons i would love to hear.....and that is exactly why i don't want a man who is too KTP.*huge grin*
hehe... but i want a woman who is a bit KTP.. u know.. espcially one who participate in bial zaipawl etc *huger grin*
sonam: kima..u look good..the ladies look fine....
Sonam bro!!!!!! Geee its good to know u still visit my blog now and then inspite of the change... thanx bro. Hope all's well with you.
so how many 'nula fel's' hand haf u shaken
:P
too bad am not a member of BZP
:(
hey,Kim.....i'm not one of those "nula fel"..BUT.. used to participate in bial zaipawl,does that count??? *wink wink*
hehe virgo... not many. I didnt shake that many hands... just a "handful" only :-D
@ myself: well, lemme check out our BZP and if they are fel, then I guess you are also fel :-) Did you also wear uniforms like our BZP?
hehe...yep,i used to hate the uniforms though....anywayz,if u like only nula fel,then i guess i have to withdraw myself *sniff sniff*
"Fel" is too vague a word to describe anybody. Fel can be somebody who is honest, homely, caring, or somebody who doesnt drink, smoke or consume sahdah. And at the same time, somebody who take sahdah but help others can be fel again... hence, let us not keep "fel" as an important criterion here :-)
Can ya send me pics of u in BZP uniform?
Forget it!!! m not gonna send u my BZP pics.I drink,smoke,etc occationally(which means not fel).Now i'm outtie.Ciao...
