When I first read it in SOAS library, I developed a new feeling, a new sense to the land I and my community belong. I was introduced to a world which I intimately shared in my childhood, to which my mind and the body was deeply rooted. That is a place I spontaneously like best among the best places I have so far visited. I tried to express all my feelings and experiences on places in my small book - Nijor Thaai Nijor Ghor (in Assamese) - My own place, my own home. I pay my deep sense of respect to Prof Tuan and pray the Almighty to bestow upon him good health and long life.
Yours sincerely
