Eight

-

Eight is what we are now

Come on everybody, take a bow!

Oh! Spare us the horror

Don’t ask us how?


Corona that hit this year

Burnt our heart and our rear! ðŸ˜œ

Life came to a halt all of a sudden

Everyday it felt, like a new burden.


But then we recovered well

And decided to ring the happiness bell.

For we cannot keep a frown

Although we could not hit out of the town.


Within the four walls, with ma and pa

We started our dances and singing la-la!

Carrom and chess, piano and guitar

Whatsapp and facebook, Insta and Twitter!


Thats how we started to enjoy our days

And out came the bright sun rays.

Weather, be it gloomy or sun

Could no longer hold us from having fun.


Baking and Icing, cooking and cleaning 

We started focusing, only on winning.

Computers we started, Coding was fun

Apps after apps, we made on the run!


Vaccine is what we are all waiting on

Let’s hope it arrives before all are gone!

Life is not the same with having a face cover

Feels like a ship, which lost its radar!


Mask and sanitizer is what we always carry

Let’s not forget how to be merry!!

Schools we miss, friends we ditch

Corona is but, a difficult bitch!


Classes are but online

The first one ends at sharp nine.

Enrichment makes us think beyond books

Dance and drama, keeps us on the hooks.


Praying we all return to normal,

No mask, no sanitizer, just talk and laugh

With friends and all

We have a ball!

Hindi - the National Language of India?

-
Yeah I know, I have taken to writing again after a very long time. But here is an important issue on hand and I just could not stop myself from blogging on this! Hindi - is this the national language of India? Well, in short the answer is No. Let me tell you the story behind this. Till 1965, Articles 343 and 345 of the Constitution of India specified that the official language of India to be Hindi in Devanagari script, though states of India were free to adopt one or more local languages for all or any of the official purposes of that state. Pursuant to agitations particularly in South India in the 60s, today 22 languages carry official status and Government documents can be in any of the 22 recognized official languages. This has been clarified by court rulings as well, most recently in 2010 Gujarat High Court affirming equal role to all 22 languages.India is a Common law country---therefore, unless overturned by the legislature or a higher court explicitly, the ruling in 2010 ...

Axomia or Assamese as we are popularly know as in English! Axom has a very rich culture. Not many people outside the state are aware of the beauty and culture of this pragmatic section of people. Here I mention some distinctive terms associated with Asom and Axomia people, in general! Bihu - "Otikoi Senehor Mugare Mekhela, Otikoi Senehor Maku, Tatukoi Senehor Rongali Bihuti, Napaati Kenekoi Thaku" No doubts when we hear the word Bihu, only Asom comes to our minds. Bihu is like one of the trademarks of Asom. Bihu is the main festival of Asom. We have mainly three bihus - the kati or kongali bihu, the Magh or bhogali bihu and the very festive, Bohag or Rongali bihu! Even the very beautiful dance of Asom is referred to as the Bihu dance. And, we all know how much we love it! Saah - Tea or saah as locally know is the most preferred drink in Asom. Yes, why not? We have the largest tea plantation in India! This inherently gives India the status of being the secon...
