An experience with Nature – III

The beautiful landscape and the innocent villagers


After a long rest day at Thimbu, our leaders decided to move towards our next destination the day after. It was Mago, the last Indian village on our route. Since it was still raining slightly, we had to mentally prepare to face any difficulty during our journey. But fortunately it was a beautiful morning! After continuous raining of two days, the sun welcomed us with a smile.
It was a wonderful day and the mountain looked so fresh after the rain and thunder storm. This time I could manage to reach our camp little bit early. During my journey, I was alone for sometime or sometime I was with my friends…. Walking through the almighty jungle, I enjoyed the awesome nature. Viewed the topography of the mountain, the rocks and tried to understand the language of nature! Felt like I was in a dreamland…. My surrounding was so peaceful!
I reached my camp alone before darkness. We went to visit the village in the evening. The villagers were so innocent and were not much ambitious. Their living style was too simple. They were far away from the civilized and complicated society. They had to travel through a long way to Jung or to Tawang even for their small needs. There was no electricity in the village. There was a hot water spring in the village; we went there to take bath after 4 days.
In the night, I heard the mountain river Magochu shoring. It seemed, the nature was singing song altogether. We stayed at the army camp that night. Next day we took rest at Mago. We met the Indian soldiers, who were far away from their home and family only to protect our nation.  They were very much helpful to us throughout our trekking expedition.
We could view the Indo-China border. It was unbelievable! Nature can’t understand any border. We saw the mountains, which come under China. It was very near by Mago. After had lot of fun and adventure, we took rest early… because we had to move next morning to Jithang, our final destination…..
To be continued….

Mekurikai - an unsung hero!

Teok , a small town in Jorhat District of Assam. Around 30 years back, it was in process to be a township. It is my parents' home place, where I was born. As my parental villages were in Teok, we usually visited this place on every vacation. Growing up in a concrete city, I found this place peaceful and naturally rich. We travelled by bus to visit my birthplace. The Teok State Transport bus stand was very small that time. State Transport buses stopped here for few minutes only. Here I saw Mekurikai for the first time. I can still visualise his picture in my mind! Mekurikai , the unsung artist! He used to wore a half pant and a shirt, hanging wooden box around his neck. He sang TOKARIGEET  (type of sufi song in Assamese Folk) and collected money from his listeners. Every morning he used to come to Teok State Transport Bus Stand. Whole day he got into the buses while they stopped, sang his TOKARIGEET  in his mild and beautiful voice with feelings, collected ...

My Vaishno Mata Darshan with Shahida!

I used to think of visit Vaishno Devi Temple, but couldn’t manage my schedule anyhow. It is said that only when Matarani (Goddess Vaishno Mata) calls her devotee, then we can be able to visit this famous temple, situated in Katra, Jammu. I was staying in a working women hostel at Sarojoni Nagar in South Delhi. Here I met Shahida, a fair and slim Assamese girl, who belonged to my birthplace Jorhat, Assam. One of Shahida’s roommate introduced me with her when she came to our hostel. Shahida was junior then me. But very soon we became good friends. Whenever we got time in off days, we planned to cook something typical Assamese Dish together.  That was April 2003, I noted that we had a holiday on 18th for Good Friday and Saturday- Sunday were to be off days for me. Shahida told –‘Let’s plan to enjoy our long holidays!’ But how? We even didn’t think that in next few minutes we would plan for a memorable trip in our lives. I responded –‘Yaah, we must not waste our long holidays ...

Why Cann't We be Satisfy With Our Lives!

I visited a village in Arunachal Pradesh. A very remote area in Tawang District of Arunachal Pradesh. There was limited facilities in that area. There were no communication mediums, no market or shops, no transport, not enough education facility and not even medical facilities. People had to walk miles of mountain path to get there minimal needs. So there was less value of money; strangely we discovered exchange system!  'Strangely' I am using this word because I had never seen such exchange system before nor I have seen ever afterwards. There were very populations in that village. Education system was so poor that children even didn't know the name of their nation; not even name of their Chief Minister or the Prime Minister of their nation!! Obviously these information seemed useless for their lives. But I found that people didn't have any complain about their lifestyles or against the system. There were happy with what they were getting in lives. I was y...
