Dipok Kumar Doley and Bidyeswar Doley discuss childhood living in a chang ghar, a bamboo house built on a raised platform made of thick bamboo. Dipok Kumar Doley says traditional dishes were not fried; green leafy vegetables such as takuk, ombé, onger, pakkom, gurban, mírné koːtuk, takpiyang, beso-beyo, oti oying with fish, deer or pork were boiled. He describes traditional health practices; during pregnancy and after delivery, green leafy vegetables such as rukji and marsang, along with black pepper and local chicken boiled as a stew, and rice beer are given as remedies for the mother. They describe celebrations for weddings and births and local festivals like Ali-aːyé-lígang, held on the first Wednesday of February, where the Misings pray for a better harvest the following year, health, and wealth and eat purang, apong, and oying. Dr. Bidyeswar says that family members of all ages would participate in the prayers and activities, but now this is rarely seen. Dipok Kumar Doley urges youngsters to stay alert and to take proper care of the Mising language, culture, and clothing or else they will become extinct.
