The philosopher king!! . #Chandrayan/Garbadges/Emotions/Being practical.. .

Just a week back I literally had to shut down my fellow Peace worker from USA who published a link"Minorities are at stake in Assam""Assamese are genophobic..
I intervened stating in social media...
"Al jazeera"is no gospel truth " There is no genocide happening in my state  Assam. We are fighting for our own identity. For the lack of any" integration" policy for refugees and inflitrators" ladies and gentlemen  we are fast fading is a community in the mist is the other side of the story!!

News for us!!!  In the meantime  UNO have instructed not to depot those excludedcluded in NRC!!! A well measured thoughtful move by the leaders of infiltrators.. right??

Why Assam could not produce a single piece of Conrad Sangma is a myth!!!

All those who love Assam unconditionally were  sidlined,  eliminated,, ignored us such an irony!!

 Another day ,I was literally angry with another fellow  from abroad who commented after the sad demise of a BJP leader that... I heard the leader was fundamentalist"

People love to form their own opinion on individual and State in  the air without any basic knowledge is a fact of life today...!!

The same person is Messiah to some and evil to other....

But I dnt hide under silent veil if truth been not told..!!Normally I restrain myself from any political debate!! Gone are the hey days of my school and college days of glory :spirit of leadership!!

I mildly disagreed stating. Lady" India is secular and will remain so"

The question is why do I have to react to such abysmal comments thrown from any part of the world???

Am i a BJP??Or any paid IT olive branch of it??
Do I play opportunist card showing my empathy to this the present Government looking for a handsome benefit in  return??

Do I have any hidden intention???
Will I be awarded by the govt for protecting it's interest??

Am I accountable to safeguard my country against all possible  aggression in all forms?

Nope!!!! But I do!

It came  instinctively!!  Being apolitical doesn't require to be blindfolded to your political surroundings!!


Every Indian.. Every Assamese irrespective of any political character is answerable.!!!

What can I do about it??  While in school GS.. I was the only student leader hospitalised  for the hurt meted on me by CRPF while leading a procession against the illegal immigrants.. My father was the one filed and pleaded in the "PressCouncil of India"against the atrocities of the State Govt""little did the Smart patriot knew the award for his patriotism at the hands of"Bhumiputras"Son of the soil""
This was the only journalist to warn against the "Na Asomias "decades back... Such a visionary!!!This was the group of socialist with the former CM.. Golap Borbora Borduta who cycled miles and miles till wee hours against "Congress regime "and emergency...

Our home was the hub of all political activities.. We used to eat. drink and sleep with Indian Politics in its best forms.. My tiny library had all collection of  political figure from Hitler to Plato.. To Bajpayee to Hem Baruah....
I have seen many of them..I had the privilege to listen to their conversation sitting quietly in my papas lap!!

Freedom fighters romances with patriotism and ideologies.. I have seen all those legends.. sane.. disciplined,  neat, honest,

Tall!!
Knowledgeable!!
Sucker of knowledge!!
Studious!!
Balant!!

Most importantly  patriot and non corrupt!!

Such a glorious childhood and so is the distinct behavioural pattern of thought with many counterparts!!!

At times i feel.. being foolish.. indomitable capacity to engage in swallow talk and activities.. capacity to massage and lick feet of the haves are the doors to prosperity and popularity!! But the gene pool commands the opposite!!!!

I observe :right from the CM to most of the ministers were either our Co. Cottonian  or fellow student warrior!!!

Will they listen to a fellow patriot who raise her voice against wasteful decicision of.. Puskaran IN Assam"or A filmfare award in the name of Tourism!!!  50 crors.. 300 croros. : ???NRC is a wastful engagement..Not a single Bangladeshi will be depoted.. We know it well.

They talk in crorors and the mango people   city goers are worry of buying  a bucket of water.. paying GST... safeguarding  their children from the rampant frodgery...buying ever-increasing fuel or paying bomb for convenience!!

We are warry of protests ...No zebra crossing!!  No traffic lights!!!  Traffic police even don't have the mercury light to signal  night times!! We still talk about extravegenza...


While in college , I wrote an essay on"Platos Philosopher king" The answer is why half of Americans  still love Barak Obama over Trump" But still have no choice!!

Why cnt we have a "philosopher king "?

Why cnt we have our own people in the apex to work and think sane??
  Why dnt they recruit true patriot to their system to a positive change to their own society??

Why most of the committee.. apex bodies.. commissions Comprises of  ignorant political idiots!!

Why is so that half of our representatives cnt  even define what a "Constitution"is!!


Three decades of my lone struggle for women empowerment.. I m literally worried to see the plight of few department  working here!!!

Dalalraj !!
 IN many departments!! Most of the Department head run their own NGOs!!!

My being Doctorate like many of my friends have been the most tough est  of all tasks.

Now I heard  people get doctorate in a fluke!!!

Witch hunting... On the rise..

Cost of living.... On the rise..

Swallow people... On the rise...

Price of commodity.. On the rise..

Barbarism.... On the rise...


Yes we are equally proud of our recycling brain drain in science and technology!!

Chandrayaan is our glory!!

And we elect  the govt to work on our behalf.. for our well-being.

But what platter offered to the good and patriot without asking and begging for it also a matter of concern!!


I still fell like a college goers.. fulled of dreams and ideologies... Still remember my classes in Cotton College.. the changes... Most of fellow Cottonians are in charge of  my state make me proud though.... I fondly remember my days in the premier institutes...




  That was my re-entry to Cotton College in masters after a spat of rolar coster bumpy ride to eventful matrimony.I entered the union hall to join a meeting. The cultural Secretary came and recognized me exclaimed"You were the best Cottonian"and a good orator, I know .Our current GS is very smart. "Himanta Biswa Sharma". The GS with his blue blazer was instructing something to some students..Not only him.. There is a glorious list of our cotton mates who are at the apex of many departments.. serving hugest posts... .. Reminiscing and glimpse of "The first ever Video" recording on the same hall were flashing in my mind.. We were the commander!! A chain of contunity and change of leadership is a must...But why is the dearth of quality leadership?? Can we take an inspiration from Meghalaya from"eartswhile Land laws that protect the local community  to that of the outpouring protest against NRC and CAB by the political leader itself..

The quasi Federal edifice of our democracy  are to be kept vibrant by not always bowing down to centre in matter of grave issues by now should have been grasped by those in power!!

But who will listen to the knowers???



I chose to become a dotting mom and fate dragged me to the idiot box and the big screen. Breathless was life. Juggling modelling, acting, anchoring, drama,recitating radio, writing, lectureship in B. Boruah College,..applying for PhD.  Dogs. Daughter,, househelper.. forever guwaffing husband..

I was not sailing in any prescriptive checklists.. With a kinda throbbing spirit  from morning till I put my baby lullaby to slumber all act was a manifestation of being me. My act were accoloaded.

People throne in functions to take my signature.(Autograph)  (Oh! my childhood drama enacting as a dangor Manuh)

No mobile.. No self promotion.. No pasturing.... my drive to creativity was totally organic!!  Seniors like Bhabendranath sir, NalinDuwora, my Godfather AbdulMazid who have introduced me to the Universe as childactor with drama"Chor"and remain  the reason behind my choice to remain an artist made my forey to screen stardom a cakewalk.

Astonishingly there were no competition. No proffesional conversation too...Faith.. Trust was the only reason behind all works!!

I was paid rs500 only for Jahnu Baruahs national award wining film "Tora".Paid nothing for my first movie"Kushwal Kuwar"later I came to know about the fund and budget of that movie!!

Fooling honest souls is a persevering habit to many brave heart in my State!!

My voice and monologue were the main driving force of the movie..

And then after hundreds of seriels and few films the organic life had some very personal hiccups and pain..

The blooddripped body of my dearest Papa kept monitoring my mental well-being. I had to take resort to self-healing silently. The resolve to carry forward the half done mission of a socialist,, numerous awards.. love of people.. Visiting lectureship IN prestigious institution S  kept me occupied..


Unholy attention were shrugged off as professional hazards!!  Not having the contaminated disease of "Hero worship""licking feet of the haves" spared me off unwanted complicacies though life became tougher when I chose to remain steady on the  same track.!!


To my friends I am foolishly egoistic  a freelancer not to bow to any to avail opportunity.. And many fans drawn to me for the same unoflinched black and white attitude!!

I often ask myself...

Why materialism never crept into me?? The answer is as simple as the simplest math..

My great maternal lineage The Baruahs were shedding  of their property owing to socialist ideology..That was Binibajees.. "Bhoo Dawn moments!!"

The Boarding field of Sibsagar was donated by my ancestor to public!!  The history made me proud!!

I even heard of "Jayprakashjis vow of celebacy" and jeevandani to social upliftment..

Such was the armour  of politics might be a fictional story to the newcomers!!

I am happy that I saw it all.. I saw the goodness!!  I saw philosophies behind and above political mileage!!!

Am I a bit confused on the midst of the sea of to much opinioned...semi literate shallowness...??


Can I think of a retreat without worrying about my forever increasing electricity bill... and taxes... ?? Or monthly EMI s


Can I go back to my Buddhisatta plainly believeing everyone I meet in the mileue??

Can I retain my innocence of  nonjudgmental attitude and let go off  all those scatterbrain S  who nurture garbadges about women  who ascends.....??

Yes.. we do need a king whos heart is filled with empathy... we need another statesman  lord Krishna..

Kautilya have always been my favourite!!Plato's "Philosopher  king "is the basic lesson of political leadership  ..

Have all our politicians at the apex ever flip the pages of political philosophy or they just busy counting and piling enough stored for their own generation next only????

Do they still have the audacity to accept a positive criticism and act upon vices!!

I doubt!!!
So is I am doubtful about my identity in my own land..

We Assames normally play enemy to each other!!
Few days stay abroad, few days in convent,  we wear Hinglish language as egoistic ornament when we have to wear honesty and audacity of gratitude as our vice!!

The books I have written... The act I have enacted... the service I have rendered to society  is my habit  passed on by my forefathers...

There are many in the milleau.. many unsung heroes who's working and contributing silently to our culture!!

But what next????

Gone are the days while not being in any political lobby was not strong enougha disadvantage to determine the fate of any freelancer .

From education.. To culture.. from welfare to any sector works seems easier for someone having political backing is the open secret...

Sectarian thought and war of words flashing in the pages of social networking...

My thought and worries never centered round on" the me" or I..Me..myself... neighter I drift or knock at lobby to lobby to ensure my might.. Since gender oriented role of mentality were not instilled, I still think like a civilized citizen..


What's left on us!!

All these Andolons!! and war for survival!!

To save our language we fought Bhaxa andolon..

To save our indigenous identity we fought. Bideshi  Bitaron Andolon

There's andolon against. Dam.. Against each other..

There's Assamese  killing Assamese in the name of Biplob!!!!
There's andolon against  NRC.. CAB....

When our children will get rid of these spree of uncertainty???

When we would learn to choose a philosopher who would be our King!!

When will the ministers  learn to grow and teach themselves to read few pages of history or some new book???

When will our representatives  speak  aloud to the centre to safeguard  our might???

Irony is that too much of cheos and few listen!!!Aren't we just fooling ourselves  by fighting ugly battle amongst us???

These fight for we Boros
We Karbis
We Kolitas
We.........


More than hundred of regional  union and groups... decades after decades  we could not assimilate as "One Assamese"is such an irony""!!

Why a "River  worshiping cost 50 crors while half of my people are fighting a livelihood????

Why cnt we learn to become a bit honest and learn the trait of mutual respect!!!!


This why wraps in manifold!!!!
This why leads to a hopelessness future!!!
This why challenges my silence!!

This why  is looming large...

Day by day...
Year by year!!!
