Has the Cock lost its traditional sense of humour ?
Does someone need 'permission' of the rich and powerful to even say -- "I want peace" ?
Let the Time decide !!
In the meantime; the Common Platform Rally for Solution to Naga problem at Dimapur on Nov 18th could be linked to the phrase - The "Call of the void".
It is the name for the common, fleeting urge to do something dangerous, like jumping from a high place ....
.... despite having no suicidal intent.
It may be actually a response to conflicts that haven't been resolved,
emotions you've suppressed or
anxieties one has not addressed.
These definitions suit the state of affairs vis-a-via Naga Peace Talks and the 'absence' of a final Solution.
This experience is thought to be a kind of intrusive thought that many people have, and it is considered normal and never a cause for concern. Hence a large gathering came for the rally sat patiently and heard the peace keepers and Solution seekers speak out their mind.
One participant from remote Nagaland's Mon areas said -- " I do not want the problems to pass on for my children and grandchildren. It started during my father's time but now I want the problem to end".
Naga Hoho president Sulanthang Lotha said it 's high time to forgive the 'wrong doers'.
He paraphrased the well known Christian prayer line and said -- "Forgive them for they know everything and they are doing wrong ... eneka ayei jaise"
His words were perhaps meant for the Status Quo club and those who wanted to sabotage the Nov 18 rally.
"We have to create a feeling of oneness...," he underlined.
Sulanthang Lotha said -- "Even this meeting was almost sabotaged by Hohos ... who is to be blamed. We have to blame one another.
Former Nagaland assembly Speaker Z Lohe said the turnout was successful because no one has sponsored the rally.
"People made personal sacrifices to attend today's meeting ... no one has come even among organisers or those addressing the meeting to draw media mileage or to show faces in Youtube social media," Lohe said.
"People tried to disturb the meeting .... but because God has helped us ,, so our meeting is successful today," he asserted.

"From the bottom of heart ... I am thanking all of you for attending the rally," he said.
He said there are many 'problems and diseases' those have afflicted the Naga people.
"Phutani hai jaeaa .. ekta dangor bimari hoisey (To be proud of oneself in negative sense is one of those disease)," he said in his usual candid outburst.
"There is taxation malady also," he lamented in reference to gross extortion that has gripped the society especially after the start of ceasefire in 1997 and emergence of as many as 28 Naga factions.
"Sabse dangor bimari toh Solution na ani kena ... Ceasefire under tey political negotiations toh indefinite ....
(The biggest problem is .. without bringing Solution .... the so-called political Negotiations should continue)"
"Answer na bisari kena question hi kori thakibo .. ei tu bimari lagi jaisey," said Lohe.
"Without seeking answers ... we may keep posing questions ... this is a malady that has afflicted us," the former Speaker said.
These diseases can only be eradicated only when we take the right decision.
"We can prescribe the medicine today ... it is the Solution," he said.
The meeting ended with a three-point charter of Resolutions and among them the chief one being -
"We want Solution".
