An Experience with Nature –IV

Final Destination

On the 6th day of our journey, we moved towards our last destination - Jithang. Our trek was not too tough but we faced landslide on our route.  We were told to walk in groups, not alone. By this we could help each other in any difficult situation. I wondered to view the beauty of nature! God has created haven far away from human civilization! On one side of our route river Magochu was running with its full current and on other side the almighty mountain was standing with proud!  
We reached Jithang by afternoon. The Almighty Mountains were covered with snow. In the night we arranged a fireplace near our tents. The sky was so clean and the stars were twinkled like diamonds. I imagined myself in fairyland!
Next morning we enjoyed the sunrise through the mountains.  It was an unforgettable moment in my life forever! After having breakfast we decided to explore the mountains. We had lot of fun at high altitude and by lunch time we returned back to our tents. In the night we enjoyed campfire and had lot of fun.
With so many wonderful memories, we moved back to Mago again. I found, how simple the mountain people were! Though they didn’t have any facilities of modern civilization, they were happy.  They didn’t have any complaints. I had learnt from these people to be happy in life with whatever we are getting. I must salute them.  This is Incredible India!
We reached our base camp Jung on 11th day of our journey. We went to Tawang to visit the Buddhist monastery. We came back to Assam with lot of amazing and wonderful memories. I want to convey thanks to my friends – Rupak, Sanjeev, Hiranmayee, Late Amar, our senior member Ms. Bhumika, our leader Sh. Kishore Baruah and the other team members of our trekking camp. They had given me lot of support. Again I would like to salute our Indian Army, who are always be ready to sacrifice for our nation!
JAI HIND!!!

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...
