Hidden Jewel

" Far away from the mechanical, fast moving city. Untouched by the exhausts of  man's creation....no worries, no tension. An environment like those of early man's age, serene and green. A place where i always wanted to be when i was down. I would often ask Maa where this place is? She would tell me," God has already created a world like that for you. You will see it very soon" and then  I would be engrossed in my imagination which knew no bounds, i would tell Maa about that place with fresh green leaves, birds singing in nature's tune, water gushing through narrow passages in between rocks, fishermen rowing their boats back home on sunset. Aah!! how wonderful it would be. Maa would smile and cuddle me into her. And now when i truly had the fortune to see that place, i realised that  Maa was right. God had already created that place for me. My visit to this abode of nature brought back all my imaginations into life. I never knew, my hometown Assam itself owns that very place where i always wanted to be...and here i am to share this beautiful experience with you".

Majuli 




I feel myself lucky enough to be so closely associated to The World's Largest River Island- MAJULI which  is still unknown to the world. This Beautiful creation of God is situated in the state of Assam, my hometown in India. Majuli- nestles in the lap of the mighty river Brahmaputra. It has an abundance of rich flora and fauna.This abode of nature beholds the biodiversity including migratory birds, rich forest cover and variety of Animals. Majuli has nurtured the Vaishnavite Culture since ages. The interconnections of Human Beings and Natural Environment can really be seen in this beautiful island. Athough MAJULI  has been chosen by UNESCO as the World Heritage Site, this island is still unknown to the world. This is indeed very sad.


Through my blog i would like to promote and spread an awareness about this " Floating Emerald "- MAJULI to the whole world. This is for the world to know how rich and gifted we are to possess such an Island.
