My home state

As your flight to Guwahati breaks through the clouds, there is a breath-taking moment where lush-green hill after rolling hill spreads out below. What seem to be great stretches of water with regular grids through t hem turn out to be paddy fields. Every time that I see the view, I am unprepared for so many shades of green. All of a sudden, you know that you have left the rest of India and entered a world unto its own. A world of forests, beautiful hills, a great river, a laid-back attitude to life, a plethora of cultural diversity and the best darn cup of tea! The Assamese are known for their hospitality, friendliness, and gentle nature (despite any perceptions to the contrary that you may have formed from the one that you know). |
