Addressing the school community on the celebration of Bihu

With a pleasant wishes of the day, at the onset, I extend my heartiest greetings of the Assamese New Year to the reader’s circle here.

This gathering, dappled and dotted in different shades of colours, is about celebrating life.

Bihu celebration is a worthy reason for a happy gathering in Assam.

Bohag  Bihu, Akhomiya Porisoy, Axomiyar Pran; transliterated as Bohag Bihu is an an identity of an Assamese, the life of an Assamese.
It is a social connection, an emotional bonding. It is in every atom in the soil of Axom dekh.

As rain rejuvenates the soil,
As rain enthuses life to the desperate foliages,
As rain initiates interaction in nature…
The similarity is Bihu.
Marking the spring season, Bohag Bihu resonates with the hopes, aspirations, bonds, and relationships that an individual stores in society’s collective memory.
