So I’ve been chasing butterflies lately... Don’t ask me what my fascination is with winged creatures because I haven’t a clue. All I know is that I love the butterfly’s elusiveness, brilliant colouring, and free-spiritedness—they just seem so carefree and joyous! In Japanese culture, a butterfly is said to be the embodiment of a person’s soul while the Greek word for butterfly itself means soul. Closer home, in Manipur, the Nagas trace their ancestry to a butterfly. Whatever it is, you cannot deny the sense of mystery surrounding these winged beauties.
