Project 3 ( N.C. HILLS ICON - 2008)

2008

N.C. HILLS ICON became the biggest entertainment project successfully completed in the history of this District. Never before did an entertainment programme lasts for more than a week or max 2 weeks but with ICON that changed permanently. ICON lasted for more than 3 Months and the Winner walked away 50,000/- Rs. Richer. Not even the Autonomous Council or CEM's had ever given such a prize EVER! ICON has made itself an ICON with its success and thousands were awaiting its return for its second season in 2009 but once again SHIT HAPPENED and the Dimasa-Zeme ethnic flare-up alongside the arrests of some of our GREAT POLITICIANS and subsequent fall of the then N.C. Hills Autonomous Council made it impossible to organize.

2010 might be the year ICON returns with a bang and if that happens you will know it .......FOR SURE!

THE YEARS (2001-2005) III

2003

In 2003 everything was shitty basically due to the Dimasa-Hmar ethnic flare up. When priority is to keep yourself from getting killed i guess even a numbnut like me has to stay low. Sorry guys but no Concert this year.

2004

Well this year we did have a Concert in fact a Big one - 'VIBES 2004'. But unfortunately the digital camera made its debut in Haflong and some tech guru deleted all the pics by mistake or should i say 'Khujli'. If someone somewhere went old school that day by using an "analog" camera - Aainzhe!!! please be kind enough to mail it to me here - daodaulagupu@ymail.com.

2005

As much as i wanted to organize a show the circumstances just won't let me. I was pursuing my Masters' in Guwahati and could only stay for a few months in Haflong. The same thing followed in 2006 & 2007. And the few months i was here in Haflong was spent making Dini (06) & Baashain (07). But i will like to post this image which was taken when i was in H.S. 1st Year at H.G.C. or should i say during my Paranoid & Wasting Love days. The song we are playing in the picture is .............. no points for guessing.................PARANOID................. jeow jeow jeow tere tere tere tere........

THE YEARS (2001-2005) II

Some serious 'Breaking The Law' going on here.

This one tops all - Janak "Cobain" Kemprai with plastic hair ripped off from a doll of Jim's sister and Monesh (Dark Horizon) bunking Miss Bonner's tuition to play at the show and the most surprising Vishal (Dark Horizon) playing Drums.........do i need to say more ?????

The Winners - AHIMXA

Peka got the Blues

Mama we all miss u - without u it feels like Empty Rooms

Look at Saurav with his Deepest Purple Guitar. At this point he was still innocent ha ha ha

This Band was from Moulhoi they covered Woman - Phynyx (GIR-II) Man it was something.

When Rohit still played Bass.

Wild Rose @ Rockablazer 2002 (Runners Up)

2002

2002 saw 'ROCKABLAZER' - the mix was no money, itchy throat & itchy fingers, post exam boredom, mentally unfit friends and love (with a new girl everyday). Somehow we were able to manage the money for the sound system and everything else required had to be managed with personal belongings. Still remember how we carried Bamboos for the stage from my place @ Convent Road to C.I.H. through the main road coz we had no money to hire a pick up truck or Taxi as we call it. At the end of the day it was all worth it. Salute to the human spirit.

THE YEARS (2001-2005)

Dats what u get when u mix - a Concert gone exceptionally well, Beer, lack of sleep, and a bunch of mentally unsound but really good friends........ A picture 4 life or should i say a picture with life.

I just love this Pic. Martin with some serious attitude dude. Dats my face at the back but the hands are not mine - Dirty hands!!!!!! Check out the date it says 26th of what?????? ha ha ha and Venu..........But we owe the banner to Pinku (Probal) Palit a very good artist.

Pankaj (Pintu) & Philip

Peka & Friends (Forgot the name of the Band)

Wild Rose @ Acoufest 2001

(Sorry to the other Bands whose Pics i couldn't upload- Dark Horizon, Ahimxa, Just 4 Kick etc.)

2001

It was in the summer of 2001 (May to be precise) that me and my friends decided to organize a Beat Contest just to kill time and also to give relief to our itchy fingers which had just begun playing what to us sounded like good music. H.S. 2nd year exams were over and college could wait for a few months and so 'ACOUFEST-2001' seemed a good and the only option. It was the success of the show and the fun we had making it that just made us, especially me go on and on and on and before my very eyes 10 years just flew by. I miss those years and most importantly I MISS MY FRIENDS.....all of them. Now all i can do is look at these pictures and smile.......helplessly knowing its never gonna come back.................... To all my Friends and the time we had.......................... PEACE!!!!!

Project 2 - Baashain

Baashain was made in 2007 under Dimabong Productions. Technically it still is the Best Dimasa Video Album till date. Out of the 8 videos in it, i am putting up the one which was the most fun to shoot. The rest was great too but this one is special. Promit arriving in a brand new cherry red Santro, Monalisa down by the River and Kuldip with that piece of Log on his shoulder. Damn! that tree was stubborn.... had a tough time cutting it down.

PROJECT 1 - DINI

Dini (Today in English) was the 1st venture of Meltpot. It was also the 1st Dimasa language short Film from Haflong released in the year 2006. Here is a video clip from that movie. In fact this clip was the ad trailer used prior to the release. Had a blast making it. Remembering the countless no. of cigarettes we flushed for one great shot and my favourite,"oii! nisi Masainjik na Gunjung ni Burun?"..............Priceless!!!!!

Meltpot - The Journey So Far
