Daughters from Northeast India/Carlos Pueblo


Daughters from Northeast India/Carlos Pueblo

There is a part of the Great nation of India with their people look
like the neighboring China. This is the Northeast India right on the
handle bar of the Indian panhandle neighboring Himalaya to the north,
Burma to the east, Bangladesh to the south, and connected to the huge
pan of India subcontinent to the west. I have had at least three daughters
from two ships, Jade and Dawn and because of this, I get to know more
about this interesting part of the world. Kishori works at the casino as a
black Jack dealer and handles the crab table. Hulang and Nan are
both hostesses on board and both come to help at the O’Sheehan’s. They
all are like me puzzling why they look like Chinese yet can’t figure out
the reasons.

I first noticed Kishori on Jade’s Café and she wore a different kind of uniform
from the restaurant staff. She is suspicious that she may have Mongolian
blood and I kind of agree because this part of world has been developed for
millennium and I can see in and out of Mongolian in this area at least. She is a
good dealer for the casino and wins most of the time as I watch them playing.
She has been transferred to a sister ship Pearl after cross the Atlantic.

Hulang’s appearance is exactly liked a Chinese girl. She wrote down the 7
Sister states of this area, Assam, Arunachal, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram,
Tripura, and Nagaland. After India annexed Sikkim in 1974, Sikkim was added
to the 7 sister to form that handle. According to Google, there are two recorded
history in China about this area by Chang Chien of the Han Dynasty, Emperor
Wu Ti sent him to the west Turkestan area as an ambassador for years and after
his return and reported this civilized area. Another one was Hsun Chang of Tang
Dynasty. Emperor Tai Tsong sent him to India to get Buddhist Sutras. This is the
famous Monkey King novel. He had been to this area and made a report about it.
Hulang and I promise each other to do some more study of the history of this area.

Nan is also a hostess at the Italian La Cucina Restaurant on Deck 6 Mid-ship.
I have had 3 dinners at this restaurant with three of my daughters from Jade. They
are transferred to Dawn now. She is a faithful Christian and very good in Bible
Study. She has given me several lessons of the Bible, i.e. what’s the true meaning
of the story that one day Jesus is thirsty, the story of Job, and the story of Noah’s
Ark. The first story was an argument while the rest were my curiosity. She was
almost given up due to my stubbornness. She says that talking to me like talking
to a stone.
