The last chance saloon for Meiteis

Let me begin this New Year of 2018 with ‘Surya Namaskar’ (prayer to the Sun, figuratively speaking) and wishing a Happy New Year to The Sangai Express and its readers. This is also my wassail to every Manipuri. I exist in London but I live in Imphal taking little memory night trains.

The heavenly designs of snowflakes

Dr Irengbam Mohendra Singh The whole world is a nuclear family. We are all built of atoms. Now we know where we came from and who we are. So are the snowflakes. Everything has an architecture, based on physical laws of nature. Creativity thrives in the strangest places as that of snowflakes, somewhere in Heaven. […]

Newton’s gravitational force & Einstein’s spacetime

I was born in a family with guns. My father Gulamjat had a single-barrel shot gun. My eldest brother Gokulchandra had Webly & Scott .32 revolver, .22 rifle and 12-bore double barrel shotgun. During my student time, I practiced with them all. During my college holidays, I went to shoot wild pigeons with the .22 rifle at Langol Hill and at my friend Kh Dhiren’s rice research farm at Wangban.

Longer life for tea drinkers & benefits of being obese

I was born aged 15, knowing everything, in the endangered narcissistic Meitei species. Far too late. I should have been born aged 1O months. I’m not nostalgic, just opportunistic, to grab this space that, precociousness isn’t a nice thing to be. You lose your childhood innocence. As a well-dressed and smart post-war boy with a cooked ‘primordial soup’ of my brain, I considered my contemporaries a bit infantile and so, I kept company with older guys like Ta-Gojen Moirangthem, Ta-Indramani Tourangbam, Ta-Achoubi Pukhrambam et cetera.
And I spoke like them. That caused pain in the bum of a few fathers in my neighbourhood, who had sons about my age, but none-too- bright. I was disliked like someone who uses the rising inflection at the end of each sentence, and in modernity, like someone who preface every second word with “like” and drawn out as “likaaa”.

Time does not always heal a broken heart

Everything is hunky-dory with love in the air, but love has casualties. A broken heart isn’t just a figure of speech. It causes actual physical pain. That you may die of a broken heart has become a scientific reality. It’s happening despite increasing digitalisation of romance with significant changes in “falling in love” in this post-modern age of “loving you by not falling in love”.

My Japanlan memoir after four score years – C

The apocalyptic modernity of WWII made Imphal town look like the Hollywood ghost town in Santa Fe in the Old Wild West. After the second bombing over Imphal on May 16 1942, six days after the first, Gimson told my father during one of his visits that, a few bombs fell on his Residency compound. One demolished the main jail gate. Many prisoners escaped. Thousands more of the refugees, mostly Indians including Helen of Bollywood, and a handful of Europeans, who had tracked along the old trodden path over the mountains from Tamu in Burma to Moreh in Manipur, and been staying at Koirengei, had left on foot for Assam.

Meiteis & Meiteilon never been Tibeto-Burman : Never mind the guess work

The joy of Independence Day permeated all over Manipur on August 14 1947. I was there. But, Manipur had an Achilles Heel, the Manipur State Congress. Another fatal weakness for the superficial was the inherent silliness of the premise that Meiteis and Meiteilon are Tibeto-Burman.
The aesthetic offence of the 1950’s educational revolution, seduced by Grierson, was to dupe young Meiteis into believing something that is not true.

The way to live 120 years

Dr Irengbam Mohendra Singh
Sceptics might think it just doesn’t cut the mustard. But, newer scientific research has made me to upgrade longevity from 100 to 120 years. That, in the near future, Manipur would be full of 120 year old people is no more a myth-tinged fairy story. It’s a paean to the sense of a joyous uplift. Manipur now has a few people in their late eighties. The world’s leading gerontologists have long been searching for the most effective ways to hold back the enhancing years. They are talking of people living now and not the future generations who would benefit from cutting-age technologies.

Scientists are about to create artificial human life

Keeping dogma aside and reason being part of the zeitgeist, would you believe people in Australia live upside down? Yes they do. They get accustomed to the fact, which then becomes normal. Einstein understood it. It’s the structure of space and time that is made like this.

Human evolution is finally over

One man’s radical thinking changed the reality of the beginning of our existence from what had been the mind-set of medieval people for centuries all over the world. Darwinian (biological) evolution has been going on over the past 4 billion years, following the Earth’s formation 4.5 billion years ago. The facts of evolution ie the notion that all living forms are related and evolved in an amplitude of time from one common ancestry could only be denied by an abandonment of reason.

Human battle for enhanced humans or cyborgs

The nature of scientific thinking is rebellious. It has to be. Otherwise, we won’t have the hypothesis of the Big Bang; the best we have at the moment for the origin of the universe. The idea of understanding the world without reference to gods was a revolutionary one, 26 centuries ago, in Greece.

Einstein understood it. It’s the structure of space and time that is made like this. This is science, but the science I seek is to highlight how the living things including humans were created. Darwin’s evolutionary theory about the development of life on Earth is not foolproof, but it’s definitely better than American creationist alternative that God created human beings 6,000 years ago, rather than the universally accepted secular 4.5 billion years.

Humanity’s future with super intelligent computers with mind

The human mind meanders like Dr Kamal’s Chandranadi River in Canchipur, Manipur, changing and sparkling, energising our brain synapses, producing neurotransmitter chemicals. Archaeologists have distinguished 3 stages of human development: (1) hunter-gatherer; (2) farmer (agriculture) 10,000 BCE ;and (3) city life 5,000 BCE. Once they had settled to a sedentary life with leisure to put their feet up, they thought of goddesses or fertility gods, at the marvel of women giving birth to babies, such as Meitei Panthoibi, Indian Ganga, Aztec Coalticue , Greek Aphrodite , Roman Rosmeta, Irish Brigit and British Damara.

‘People who talk to themselves aloud are brainy people’

I didn’t realise I am definitely intelligent, though I thought I was, until today, when I read an article in The daily Telegraph, titled ‘It may sound silly, but talking to yourself is a sign of high intelligence,’ quoting a study by psychologists led by Dr Paloma Mari-Beffa, senior lecturer in neuropsychology and cognitive psychology at Bangor University, Wales, UK.
