The earliest records for the construction of the town go as far back as the 9th century. And based on the record, the settlers were not aware that the land they were building houses upon was an asteroid crash site.

An Asteroid Named Aribam Syam Sharma| Countercurrents

There is a very famous story which I had repeated recently at the North East film festival conducted by NFDC at Mumbai. Noted filmmaker from Sikkim Mr.Santen Bhutia was a fellow panelist who had narrated an incident which had happened to him just the other day at Gateway of India.

It is true that I have used a clip each from his two films 'Imagi Ningthem' and 'Ishanou' very sparingly in my film for furthering his aesthetics which is very personal and very rooted too in Manipuri culture.
