Silver Jubilee of our marriage
Madhumita and I celebrated Silver Jubilee of our journey together on July 8 by taking a family trip to Diphu in Karbi Anglang. We had married on July 8, 1990 in a solemn function at Dibrugarh. A quarter century passed since then. Our daughter Airy has completed post-graduation and Sarvajit is doing graduation. It was vacation time for all. So all were at home. We decided to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of our marriage quietly with nature. Diphu was the place I decided as the others had not been to that place.
There was great expectation. We travelled to Diphu in Karbi Anglong district early in the day. The road from Doboka to Diphu was picturesque. We visited the botanical garden and a cathedral in Diphu town. Airy and Sarvajit accompanied us.
We had lunch at the Little Dragon restaurant. Then we decided to return via Lumding. The Diphu-Lumding road turned out to be a dangerous jungle road. The road was totally damaged. In most parts the road was unbelievably only five feet wide. Because of the condition of the road, dacoits can easily attack people on this road. We were lucky not to face such a situation. Driver Ganesh was scared, but he did not show it.
There was no net-work in the cell-phone. Only one phone worked and an acquaintance of mine in Diphu, Gakul Choudhury guided me on phone. Somehow we safely reached the four-lane as per his instruction and we had sigh of relief. The day remained memorable for this adventurous part too.
