Shantikam-da,
   
  It seems you are very correctly following the trend set by your uncles and others in your family and friends.

    Dear mr. Thakur:
  It was simply wonderful. Tarun Hazarika happens to be my eldest uncle, he is today 88 years old, but still drives from tezpur to Guwahati regularly. His escapades, if chronicalised, would have really kept a whole generation enchanted. The one you narrated was, of course, not known to us, but I find new stories about him emerging every time I find someone who knew him. 
  He belonged to the genre of pioneers who were instrumental in bringing the North eastern hill tracts to the Indian mainstream. They belonged to the Indian frontier Administrative Service (IFAS), were hardy pioneers who would track for days together to open the interiors to the rest of the country. 
  Incidentally Tarun Hazarika is a very good singer too. He acted and sang in the fourth Assamese film: "Rupahi". He sang the song "Akolxaria Batorua" solo and with Saaru Bordoloi sang "Nobolo tok Xonar Axom" in the film. 
  I shall tell him about you today.
   
  Incidentally Bhaimon (Amal Hazarika), he is I think 84 , today is virtually an one man army trying to fight the corrupt engineers and officers of the Guwahati Municipality. He is dreaded by everyone who has a job to do in Guwahati city, but either is a thief or incompetent nincompoo. 
   
  I am really very proud of my uncles.
   
  Regards and keep the flow running. "those were the days my friend we thought would never end......"

  Dear Alpana, Shantikam and Dilip,
   
  Many thanks for your encouragement. When Shantikam mentioned the name of Tarun Hazarika, an avalanche of memories came to my mind ---
