Every language tells a story, but Assamese sounds like a poem, shaped by the waters of the Brahmaputra, the memories of its people, and the flowing of time.
Interlude is absolutely beautiful in content, expression, and voice. I call it "gentle eloquence." Touching. Thanks for showing us our other home. This makes me think of a quote attributed to Jefferson (though the source is apocryphal, I think), " Every man has two countries--his own and France." Interlude and the entire post make me add to "his own and France," Assam.

Hi Munindra... I am beginning to learn so much about Assam through you, culture, language etc
That's how we grow together, learning from each other & add values.
Wonderful piece, Munidra. So well documented.
