"Hi O" - An Anthology of Jaintia Poems by S. Quotient Sumer.

"Hi O" is an anthology of Pnar Poems by S. Quotient Sumer. It includes poems written by him since 1949 to most recent times and covers diverse topics pertaining to Jaintia Hills - folklore, history, romance, values, satire, drama, comedy and many more. It is a treasure of Pnar literature - precious and priceless! The book is published by YADALADA Books Publishing House, Jowai. It is a book that every Khasi would cherish.

The release function was unique and exemplary in that it had no Chief Guest or Guest of Honour. The Author wanted to treat all the invitees as equals and therefore did away with the usual practice of gracing the occasion with a Chief Guest. He treated all his invitees as Chief Guests and in that spirit it was a punctual function as there was no need to wait for the VIPs (who usually come late for any function) and it was enlivened by traditional music and songs composed by the author himself and sang by worthy voices.

The function was held today the 27th December 2013 at the Community Hall of Panaliar locality of Jowai at 1:10 p.m. Glad that I could make it in time after having to chase it all the way from Ïongkaluh. Wouldn't miss it for the world.
