Ji - I read through your Blog on the tea estate today...I have pretty much been a city bred girl...always love the chaos, dirt & grime...however as I read your experience & narration everything around me comes to life...sitting in Trinidad with lush green mountains ahead ....british colonial architecture all around...the chirping of the most unusual birds sitting on the verandah...the unending silence & isolation & the lazy afternoons with tea...I am fortunate I am able to live a small part of your unique growing up years.

Thank you for this blog, Sujata. Reminds me of my days in Doom Dooma. Especially the long trips to school (Digboi), and the stuff about the cows! What an enchanted childhood we had!

Your blog has brought back memories of days I spent as a young girl in Dibrugarh in the 1950's ---when all of the N.East was called Assam, except for the States of Tripura and Manipur. Thank you

Nice blog!!
Hi Sujata, Thats a nice blog. Its about time people in the rest of India realised that the NE is not about gun totting terrorists and extremists. Blogs like yours go a long way into addressing these misconceptions. Am planing a TV series on the NE starting from March / April 2008 aimed at removing these misconceptions. Cheers Shahwar Hussain

a very well written travel blog..impresssive style.while reading i went into a flashback of same trip that i took about 12-13 years back. i remember jaswantgarh very fondly and how one is supposed to stop and pay tribute....in the mountains there is always room for such beliefs and even the most straight thinking people succumb to it...one of my dad friends who didnt stop by had the tyres of his jeep punctured.

A good promo!
Sujata...I must confess my original plan when in the NorthEast, in early 2008, was to spend most time in states other than Assam...reading this post encourages me to spend some time exploring the tea plantations - though I grow and drink coffee. Interesting blog!

Interesting and quite rare to read about travel thru Arunachal Pradesh; in my country almost no-one knows about Arunachal Pradesh. I've never been there. I am Swiss; I published several articles about North East India in the daily paper "Le Courrier", an independent media printed in Geneva. Some articles are on www.lecourrier.ch, under "Archives", "tous les articles": 2006, April 13, March 8, February 11. And Arunachal Pradesh is as well the place of Brahmaputra canyon isn't it ?

Go travel
Abhishek, how can you imagine writing a book that is set in a place that you have never visited. Be a true writer and travel a bit. Arunachal is amazing...so beautiful and full of history. Be a little truer to your writing

That was a wonderful travelogue, partner. You took me right up to the peaks and back, right here on my chair! I loved the way you decsribed the majesty of the mountains. I'll try the best I can to incorporate it in my next novel, that's set in this region. Since I've not been there myself, this sure as ever has been an eye-opener. Good job and keeo it up!:)
