Description of making pitang oying
Joya Medok Doley describes the process of making pitang oying, a traditional dish of the Mising community made with rice and chicken. She begins by washing the rice with water. After washing, a small amount of water is left so the grains expand. She then peels ginger and garlic. Black pepper and chilies should be added based on the amount of curry that is being made. Then, she removes the soaked rice and pounds it with a mortar and pestle. The rice is pounded till it becomes grainy. The hen is put into hot boiling water. This makes it easy to remove the feathers. The hen is then roasted in the fire. For the pitang oying, big pieces of chicken are preferred. These pieces are tied together with a string or leaf so that the pieces of the same hen do not get mixed with other hen's pieces because the dish is being made for a ui (domestic puja). Mustard oil is put on a wok. Then, we wait until it becomes hot. Paanch phoran (Indian masala) is put and stirred until black, then chicken pieces are placed. Onions are added, followed by ginger-garlic paste. Black pepper, chili paste, tumeric, …

The main characters are two brothers who save a beautiful girl from being fed to the snake king by cheating him with a banana tree. Finally they succeeded, and the snake king was killed by the villagers. From then on, the villagers lived peacefully without fear.

Description of a traditional house interior
Rebot Pegu describes the interior of a traditional family home in Ratanpur village which is built on raised platforms. Méram, the lowest platform made of mud and wood, is where food is cooked. It is cleaned every day. Pérab, the hanging platform made of bamboo, is where dried fish and meats are smoked. Rébbong, another hanging platform, is used to store large items like earthen pots or épo, a traditional platelike utensil made of bamboo which separates husks from grains. Ríːsíng, the open space to the left of méram, is where the elderly people sit. Koktok, the open space to the right of méram, is where the women responsible for the cooking sit. The bamboo pieces are placed close together in ríːsíng, whereas in koktok, they are placed wider apart to allow space for washing. Before electricity was available in the village, lamps were hung on the corners of the méram.

Description of weaving baskets
Dipok Kumar Doley describes the process Rebot Pegu follows while weaving a bamboo basket called pétum. First, bamboo is sliced thinly using a katok (knife) or matsíg (sharp object), and then the strips are woven together. These baskets are used as containers for storage (of amli-péli, amrong, apong, or paan), transportation, or as enclosures for hens and ducks. He says pétum weavers have to be swift, and they have to know the method of arranging the thinly sliced bamboo to make a beautiful, hand-crafted pétum. In the past, his in-laws would wrap meat and apong in banana leaves, but nowadays, the new generation is not keen on making pétum. He says only a handful are aware of this weaving technique.
