Naga Psychedelic

I'm meren...a father, a grungeman, a student, a son, a brother, a Christian, a restless soul, an underachiever, an unfinished symphony, a cork on the ocean. Life's good. Even though sometimes it sucks....

Nagaland:






'.......


















I wasn't born in a cove but late in the evening rain
Longin' for a warm wind
Lendin' a voice to the dawn ......












We use to be on the run
Basking in the sun
Hunting for sparrows in the wild
I felt nothing could stop me .....





Nagaland:Dawn breaks 2 hours too early






The peak from where you can have a conversation with God
Where nature honors your request for silence .......






A rare Rhododendron in Mt. Japfu

Why i am Pearl Jamite?

Till the early '90s, glam rock bands like Poison and Warrant dominated the music scene which was characterized by explosive but stupid guitar solos with gals, gals,gals, gals headbanging leading to sick chaos. Rock was dead...no not yet ,it was a circus as popular as the Russians.
Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden exploded into the scene with a new religion -Grunge.This Seattle based band pulled the plug on all the glam rock and nonsense, restoring genuine passion, dignity and meaning to rock.Their unkempt appearance, gruff voice, and grinding, minimalist guitar style were far removed from the perfectly coiffed pretty boys who dominated rock and roll in the Eighties. Seattle came to be known other than just "Boeing".

It was 1993 and I was in IX Standard when Nirvana hit Nagaland. The second greatest thing to happen in Nagaland other than the arrival of Christianity 100 years back. Tracing back history and spectacular growth of the grunge scene from my school campus where we use to exchange Nirvana and Pearl Jam cassettes, lyrics and posters. We use to sing "come as you r as...", "Evenflow thoughts arrive like...." which still lingers in my mind till now. Some might say that we need to move on with other genre of music as time-pass by but "Its the world that i live in those days were too heavy, just the things that i have save is too big".. The road for grunge may be becoming lonely just because it's not paved regularly but with fans like me will keep the legacy alive.

Unrestricted Globalization at IIMK- bane or boon?

Girls in the emerging IIMK environment was traditionally a highly protected industry, living off gud spreads achieved on the pervasive restrictions on domestic and foreign entry. The domestic entry was due to the lack of adequate girls in the campus......reasons best unknown. The foreign entry was becoz IIMK didn't have an exchange programme till 2005. However, global market and technological developments, exchange programme and MICROECONOMIC pressures in 2005 have forced the IIMK environment to change the gud old way of doing business.

Impact of globalization

1. Consolidation of environment:

This industry was dominated by a small number of gals which lead to systematic instabilty in the campus. The arrival of Xchange students is likely to lead to systematic stability n a sense of stability in the campus.

2. Extra-curricular activities:

The demand for popularity of english songs has lead to revivality of rock/metal/pop music with even bands like Outlandish and Soulfly hitting the loudest decibel level in every hostel. More people becoming interested in playing guitar swearing by Pink Floyd being their GOD. People becoming more conscious about the fourth highest paid defender in football, raising their current affairs level. Juntas in western Europe loves football(all IIMKites knows that). Increase in demand for "learning foreign language".


3.Heavenly outcome:

The unlikely unequal distribution of benefits and the imbalances in global rule-making which characterise globalization today will inevitably produce a backlash and growing protectionism.
