Tezpur, Assam, Dimension Academy

After Guwahati, I went to Tezpur in Assam. Tezpur is known as the cultural capital of Assam, rejoicing in its dance, music and coloured festivals. It is the oldest city of Assam, located in Sonitpur district. I stopped at a dhaba for a tea break. With my social skills at best, I had a delightful conversation about my endeavour with the unacquainted local people. They supported my initiative and gave a good start to it by singing some lines of their folk songs.

Then, I reached my hotel in Tezpur. I was famished, but seeing the menu, I got to hold on to my hunger. I treat their local cuisines in high regard; it’s just that the menu that was presented to me was something that I can’t have. So, I went to the market looking for something to savour my taste. I pound upon some juicy and squishy momos. It was the best momos that  I ever had. You always have to give it to the Northeast regarding dim sums.

Then, I contacted several people to organise a performance to fulfil my objective. I got to connect with one school, which was under construction then. Going with the saying,’ Something is always better than nothing’,  I went for it. I arranged a setup in the parking and set up some benches and mats with the help of the management. And I had nothing less fun than singing and playing guitar with 70-80 students.

It was Bihu festival time. Females presented a vibrant and loud beat traditional song on the stage, and the kids in the audience were clapping according to a determined arrangement. It gave me a completely different vibe. 

It was time to leave Tezpur and head towards my next stop.

By then, I had realised that I couldn’t do without a driver. Driving through the steep, hilly and unknown roads of the northeast was a Herculean task for me. So, I hired a driver named Shehzad for the rest of my northeast excursion.

Seeing what was next in my journey, I went to Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh.
