Part 3 Finale Part 2

Returning to Guwahati, the main city of Assam, was to be quite busy. Staying at the India Club was a central location for us to meet up with old friends. Joonjyoti had arranged for us to join up with a ladies group on holiday from Nepal who were celebrating two birthdays that day. They were ladies who were at school together and have remained friends even though a few have emigrated to America. Two of them had husbands and sons interested in my cars and bikes that helped to make a very interesting celebration along with the champagne and birthday cake. Joonjyoti being the excellent host he is arranged the venue, music, cake, champagne and transport to bring them to the club. What a group of ladies!

The next day we were whisked away by taxi to a Homestay location to be part of a comedy show. All arranged by Lakhu, Chinmoy’s sister, and TV presenter with  writer, director, actor Nisha Kalita. It took all day to do the shooting and went well into the evening. We did have to rerecord the vocals again as they were not good enough live. That was done the next evening at Deepa’s flat. The video appeared about two weeks later.

I had a meeting with Pikoloo Deka  while he was visiting Guwahati and good to reminisce and talk about the future of the Museum and received the plaque.

More efforts from Lakhu as we were taken to News Desk 24, ND24, for a joint interview. We were interviewed for over an hour and with lots of clips from our trip to Arunachal. The interview was published within two days under ND24 #tag interviews. Hosted by Manash Pratim Deka

Having spent much time doing these things  an afternoon talking to Joonjyoti about future plans for a road trip was refreshing. In a few days were back in Delhi rounding off the holiday with seeing Omar and Roma with lunch at the Momagolo in Khan Market for a pleasant lunch with good company.

I thought the last visit to India was busy but this was a different dimension with the number of diverse things we did. So what is next? I have been promised a bike trip to Megalaya another one of the “Seven Sisters” and once again up into the hills like Arunachal Pradesh. I’m told it will not be muddy or rainy. Something to look forward to.
