O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

1. O Love that will not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.

2. O light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.

3. O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.

4. O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

Doyang river is one of the most important river in the district. It is the biggest and longest rivers which run near the state’s southern boundary. The Angami people in whose area it rises calls it Dzu or Dzulu. It first flows almost due north, slightly turn towards east when it received an addition of Saju, an eastward parallel tributary. The river then enters Zunheboto district still flowing north westwardly. It later on forms a boundary line between Sema and Lotha areas. In the west of Litami it makes westward bend and emerged in the western Lotha area in Wokha district, and proceeds to the southern border of the district, it suddenly turns westward and then debouches the hills for the plains west of

Migratory Birds ( Amur Falcon) Masaccare in Nagaland

Nagaland is in the news again! Sadly not for a good one this time.

National Geographic have an article on the massacre of migratory birds, Amur Falcons in Nagaland. Here is the link to the article on National Geographic. Such news does not put us in good light. Nagas have been hunters in the past and it is still a passion for many (if we are left with any thing to hunt for due to our least concern for preserving nature). And though people in village remote areas and villages survive on bare necessities, with the world changing around us and awareness all around to preserve nature and it's resources , we also need to change our ways for better.

We need to educate our people to be kind to nature, preserve nature. Besides, there should be adequate alternative sources of livelihood so the people at the grass root level are not led to destroy nature to make ends meet.

Some excerpt from the article referring directly to Nagaland:
"It is clear that the people of Nagaland urgently need better access to education and rural development programs that support sustainable livelihoods alongside biodiversity conservation in this beautiful region. I hope that the whole world will be watching what the Indian government does next year to stop this slaughter. Migratory species like Amur falcons drive home that we are a global community that needs global solutions to poverty, hunger, climate, and biodiversity conservation…"

"The local people filmed by Conservation India catching Amur falcons, breaking their wings, sorting them, smoking them, and trading in them, cannot possibly enjoy this annual activity and do this purely for money and trade goods. They may look forward to the arrival of the falcons, but only because of the commercial and subsistence opportunities. Most of the local community most likely celebrate the arrival of the falcons as a wonder of nature and simply marvel at it. This is not just happening in India. It has happening all over the world. It has happened before and caused extinctions… Remember the passenger pigeon of the United States? Right now, hundreds of thousands of African green pigeons in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are being caught in nets, skewered, and smoked in a similar fashion… They will go locally extinct if we do not stop this unsustainable trade…When everything is stripped away by poverty and hunger, life becomes very simple and breaking the wings of a falcon or a pigeon and keeping it alive to preserve the meat before smoking would make perfect sense. We will never halt the devastating impacts of the bushmeat and international wildlife trade until we address the striking inequalities in our global community, at village level, regional level, national level, and in the international community. To put yourself in place of the people involved in the Amur falcon trade please read how Dalvi and Sreenivasan ..."

Winner of the Hip hop/Rap category of the 3rd MAN, Imli is one of the few full time Hip hop artistes from the North- east. He is the only musician to be nominated for the 3rd consecutive year. In his own words he wants to encourage other musicians "They say, one shouldn't just be a onetime wonder, if you have won the previous years and feel satisfied over your achievements, your failure lies there in itself, your confidence to do better each coming year proves that you can be much more better than what you have done before. As long as I continue to make good original music I'll make sure I keep coming, to challenge myself and prove that I got what it takes..."

There is a controversy hanging around on this song. There are some other videos on this song on YouTube as well and they say:

"The Singer Rohan Rathore was an IIT-Guwahati student who was suffering from cancer and died 15 days after recording this song. He loved a girl and dedicated this song to that girl"

This is just a rumour, clarified by many others on the internet.

Alobo Naga who covered this song also has a comment on his YouTube video:

I just learnt & tried singing this song because I got many request to cover this song. And Yes I have also heard the Fake story behind this song to get commercial viability & success, I hope you also know that the story of Rohan Rathore is just a made up story . This song is sung by Gajender Verma, and He has also heard my version and he complimented me for my own inputs....
