Bihu was horrible yesterdayā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦It was sooo boringā€¦ā€¦ā€¦there was even no assamese touch except few assamese songs. Even Zubeen didnā€™t sing much and disappoint everybody letting the Jubli and the guys maina to singā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.

in afternoon, the Radio One and the DJ was horrible making every assamese in Bihu to dance in stupid Punjabi songs. they were playing panjubi and hindi song and asking to dance everybody in bihu program to danceā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.it was so irritating that there is no words to explain.

Why the college students performed in Hindi number? Can I ask, what is the logic to do  program on bollywood numbers? Why they named the program as Magh Bihu 2008,if the organizer was going to do such program. Nobody went there to see rajastani, Punjabi or bollywood danceā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.What the hell they were doing?

Its very sad to see such program and such entertainment(everybody got bored and irritated) in a Assamese Bihu celebration. Is this the new assamese generationā€™s Bihu?

Even Zubeen was singing only hindi songs? Where were his hit assamese numbers?

I congratulate the ppl who didnā€™t go there. It was even not worth for free entry. Can I ask a simple question to the organizer, did they lost their common sense, their brains somewhere? Dancer, singer, entertainer everybody was in a bollywood mood, why the hell they named it as Magh Bihu?  why a non-assamese girl was hosting? isn't there a assamese girl with that quality in bangalore?  Is  it a way to make the audiance fool?

Bihu in Bangalore become just like a game of money.  punjabi and rajasthani was playing in bihu, do you heard anybody playing Bihu in thier functions? when the assamese people with these mindset not restpecting thier own culture, how can anybody expect others to know them? where is the identity of the people who organized Bangalore bihu?

i come to know to what level out new generation has been fall...........

Sorry for giving you all a very bad news, it may be one of that pathetic news after the Independence. Subhash Srivastav an AIIMS student died at 6:44 pm on 20/05/2006, because of hunger strike protesting against reservation. Media is not allowed to cover it. Please pass this to all and help not to let down his sacrifice.

Can anybody let me know, where rongali bihu is going to celebrate in Delhi? I know abt bihu at Assam Bhavan, but donā€™t know abt assam association and all.

I faced lots of incident here in delhi.. Many people (lots of people, I am unable to remember) asked me whether we NE people have snack, dog etcā€¦ a guy asked me ā€œ you are from North East na? you donā€™t drink?? What a surprise!!!!!!!ā€

Here in delhi, north Indian people treat us(NE ) as awara, characterlessā€¦ā€¦.and manyā€¦ā€¦.. They stare at us in a different wayā€¦ā€¦..One day I had supari in my cab. One guy asked me in a different way ā€œOhhh u have thisā€, as if I did a crime. According to them only the bad gals have supari or panā€¦..

On last June, a rap happened to a NE in Delhiā€¦..and it was the most famous rap case in delhi till now. That time Media was so concern about NE cultureā€¦ā€¦..each news paper was publishing about NE, NE are like this, NE are like that.. In Delhi Times, that was a complete page on NE. In this page they published what delhi guys think about NE s??

Why these news papers are not concern about the other rap cases, which are 1000 times more dangers than Dhola Kuwa rap case?? Where are they?? Why media is never concern about any other topic in NE??

Not only the people but also the media here are too much cheap.

Yes, North East is underdeveloped. But in North East, If a guy simply misbehave a , she will slap him. But in this developed city (or capital), man can do anything. If a is rapped here, she will never disclose. Because of the narrow and backward mentality of societyā€¦ā€¦

If this is the situation,  NE is 1000 times developed than North Indiaā€¦ā€¦..I am proud to be an Axomiya, a north easternā€¦ā€¦.I have 1000 times more confident than these people.

In next 100 years, in delhi, people may f** in street.But the open, free, respected(ours male  and female know how to respect each other) culture we have, they cant have it in next 500000 yearsā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.

We should be proud for what we areā€¦and should show our capabilities to the Main Stream Indiaā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.

Hi Friends,

I am continuing the blog here.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The media never projects even the most critical incident that occur in the North East but even if a cow dies in a road accident in other part of India that is made a hot news. I dont know about you people living in the southern part of India( B'lore, H'bad etc) but come to stay here in delhi or in any northern part of india....you will understand how the north east is despised. I personally have felt it at many instances. It is not that the rest of india is weak in geography or things like that. North east is projected in a very bad way or rather I should say not projected at all. The cable TV operators in assam had very rightly acted by blocking the transmission of the major News channels in protest aginst this step motherly attitude of theirs. Why do these channels have their offices there if they cannot show ne news from that region???

Hi Friends.........

Here I am bloging the discussion of some of my friends on "NE relation with the Main Stream India".

Few minutes back, one of my friends called up me. He is not well, having fever. According to him he is feeling bore staying alone at home. Doctor asked him to admit in hospital. But he canā€™t. It will be a punishment for him to stay alone at hospital.

Even in fever, I used to come to office as far as possible. I feel, working in office is better than staying alone at home until it becomes serious.

2 years back, I was staying with my two friends. On October, one of them went to guwahati for one month. Another one went to Haridwar with her parents for one week. I got fever the next day she went for Haridwar .

My fever was between 100 F and 105 F. Some of my friends used to come in the evening. Nobody was able to take leave for me. I was suffering from fever for 8 days. The whole day and the whole night I stayed alone. I remember, one day suddenly I got so height temperature, that I was unable to call up anybody or take medicine. I was senseless from around 7pm to 10pm. When I got sense, I called up one of my friends. He came and measure temperature. It was 103 F.

I was unable to eat anything. But sometimes, I got hungry. When I searched something to eat in kitchen, nothing was there and I had to walk to shop.

I was so week that I was unable to go to office or any other place. These 8 days was like 8 years for me.

I blamed god for sending me to this world and giving me such life.  I cried each moment remembering my mom. Even I wished to die. I prayed for it.

Living alone is really very tough, that I felt that time. I got frustrated with my independent life. I am not alone as I have lots of friends. But no one is there to guide me ā€œdonā€™t do this, donā€™t do thatā€ etc.  I am doing whatever I want. If I return home late, no one is there to ask me a single word. I am leading this life for more than 10 years. Sometimes I feel there should be someone who will care for me and guide me.

ā€œGaliā€, I love this word. I love my momā€™s ā€œgaliā€. On last January, I went to assam. I was very busy visiting my relatives and friends. One day I went out with my friends in guwahati and forgot to inform my mom. I was supposed to reach home around 7.30. But I reached around 10pm. When I reached, I saw, my mom didnā€™t have dinner and she was waiting for me. She was angry and said ā€œat least you should inform that you will be lateā€. I felt so happy. I heard these words after so many yearsā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.

Actually what do we want from life? We donā€™t know whether god will send us for second time. Friendly speaking I donā€™t want to be a human being for second time. I want to be a bird, such that I can travel around the world.

And as human being, I want to do everything in my this life. But what do I want? When I think the answer of this question, it makes me confused. This is because I find lots of answers.

I want to be very successful software professional and reach the sky in this line

I want to be a very good dancer, because I am 100% confident that I can do it very well.

I want to be a very good singer, but I canā€™t singā€¦.

I want to be a traveler such that I can travel each part of the world and learn about different different people and their culture.

I want to start a NGO that will work for the orphans.

I want to marry somebody who is a good human being.

etcā€¦ā€¦.

Will it be possible to do at least one thing that I wanted? Or like other people, I will also marry someone and will be busy with my family?

But whatever I wanted, will it be possible to do?

If I become a  successful software professional, I have to forget the other things. If I go to become a dancer, I canā€™t, bā€™coz I am not a model or I am not a starā€™s daughter. If I want to start a NGO, I should have lots of money. For that I have to earn first. Etc.

Yesterday, my roommate said, you know Manju we should born in any foreign country like US. There, we would be able to do whatever we want.

But why not in India??

I am a very ā€œBindasā€ and donā€™t care type of girl. Yes, I donā€™t care anybody when I know that I am right. Nobody can force me to do anything that I donā€™t want. But I respect people that my heart wants to.

But why in India, you have to bound to do some unwanted things? I really donā€™t have any idea about foreign country.

No doubt I am a totally independent girl. I know how to take care of myself very well. Still I am doing unwanted things. May be I donā€™t want to marry. And I will have to marry because of my parents. May be they will not be able to convince me to do soā€¦

If you look the other girl or guys (forget about north and south India), you will find, they are also doing the same.

When each person will be enough independent to do whatever he/she want in India??

Sometimes i feel to write something, to express my feeling. I planed it many times. But its never happens. I also love to read. But delhi never give me a opportunity to do that. I feel, when I left assam, I left my reading habit to. Today I discovered myself as a different person. I was never the way what I am today. I loved to enjoy lifeā€¦.going to picnic ā€¦. Spending time with friendsā€¦sitting in the bank of a beautiful riverā€¦.etc etc. Now I realize that I was born only to work. I never have time to think abt the other things. Yesterday one of my friends told me, keep in touch with literature, otherwise we r going to be a machine very soonā€¦ā€¦ā€¦

Really, thatā€™s a true. Sometimes in weekend, I feel to read ā€œAnuradhar Dekhā€, ā€œAhimat jar heral himaā€ in the same way that I read when I was in class 10^th.

In delhi, you will find very few people who have a reading habit. Believe me, in this two years, I got very surprised experience.

Most of the people I met here, donā€™t know, what Santi Niketan is?? They may know Tegor as he won Nobel prize. But they donā€™t know for which book he won the prizeā€¦ā€¦ā€¦There is no book shop in each gali like assam or east states. You have to go to particular place for that, where you find people, specially student and searching for course book or professional searching for .NET book or SQL book.

Is delhits are losing thier emotions and almost become machines? Or they have lack of knowledge about the taste of  book which is not professional or course book???

Sometimes I really feel, that I am so lucky that I am from assam, where people prefer book as a present or prize than other materialistic things.

But coming here and adjusting here, am I killing myself?? Am I preferring to enjoy in a pub rather than in a picnic with friends in a beautiful hilly area like  ā€œAmtrengā€ or ā€œBarapaniā€??

I know, thousands of professionals like me from assam having the same life. Are we killing our inner person?

When I joined AEC on 1998, I felt very scared, bā€™coz of the ragging in hostel. But I felt very lucky, that I was going to stay in a beautiful campus.

Today I realize that I am sooooooo lucky that I am an AECIAN. Everything is in fresh in my mind. The Fresher Nite, the nights at the time of college week, the fight with boys hostelā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦the bihu rehearsal nightā€¦ā€¦ā€¦

 At that time who knew that actually we were preparing for this life???
