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 ...

I have seen in some news channels of Assam that Assamese People (of all religion) have raised voice against "illegal Bangladeshi" once again. During 1979 Assam Movement I was a small kid. I couldn't understand why those people came to the road with the slogan "Foreigners Go Back". Even couldn't understand who were Foreigners, couldn't understand why Indian Police and CRPF killed lots of Assamese Youths. Why my father had to go to jail agian and again. With an innocent thought I just imagined that those Khaki Dressed up men were not too good for us. But when I was able to understand these questions, there was a Government of Popular Regional Political Party in my state. But still there was a big question about those valuable young lives  whom we had lost in Assam Movement! Was it neccessary to lose those lives? Why the Popular Govt of Assam couldn't give value of those lives? People of Assam realised that their popular leaders were totally faile...
