Attacked for Honesty #ThaThaThabungton #MicroMemoir

October 1, 2025 by Monica Ingudam

At 78 years old, a retired college professor, living with dementia, is haunted by the memory of a brutal attack. He was beaten by three students he had expelled for cheating on an exam—his only “crime” being his honesty.

Painting: Hope

October 6, 2020 by Monica Ingudam

When you are sinking deep, hitting rock bottom in a dark space feeling worthless and suddenly out of nowhere your mind is filled with the feeling of pure love, beauty and light giving you hope. Yes hope giving you the strength to rise up. Hold on to that hope tightly for you are worth it, so worth it. Yes you are 💗

Painting: Now

October 5, 2020 by Monica Ingudam

Now

My mind was filled with the hurtful words said earlier,
Bringing tears to my eyes.

I looked around,
I see the beautiful sunset,
I see the beautiful cherry blossom,
I see the beautiful Potomac river where John Quincy Adams, the 6th president of USA swam nude,
I see the tall Washington monument in DC.

Most importantly I see love around me,
Gratitude filled my heart,
Bringing me back to Now,
Bringing back my smile.

The power of Now is there for you too 💗

Painting: Love

February 26, 2020 by Monica Ingudam

Of love, beauty, peace and healing. Many times we get stuck into the definition and expectation as defined by society. As I painted this flower inspired by the beautiful Shirui lily of Manipur, I thought of it as a symbol of beauty and love blooming in the midst of my healing birthplace. This flower can only bring out a smile in you, giving you the feeling of unconditional love, that moment of freedom where you are only you. There is no anger nor hatred nor violence nor judgement, just a moment of you being you.

Painting: Katchaba

April 28, 2019 by Monica Ingudam

During my darkest times, when I closed my eyes thinking of love, purity, protection and blessing, it was the image of my grandmother’s morning offering which came to my mind many times giving me so much of strength, strength making all the darkness fade way, filling me with love.

Painting: Mob Justice in Manipur

April 28, 2019 by Monica Ingudam
