Well, today I was talking to one of my friends and we started naming things from our hometown. That got me thinking about some of the beautiful things that I miss from my hometown “Guwahati”. I often look back to the days of my growing up period........... all those many years ago. The first thing that strikes my mind about my hometown is the peaceful serenity that can be felt in every nook and corner of the city. It is a land where you find flowers that are exquisitely beautiful, animals that are rare, and people from different communities who are friendly, hospitable and ready to help. People here appreciate cleanliness and you can feel it in every part of the city.
Here nature is at its best.....the hills, trees, flowers, flowing rivers, the streams, tea gardens, coconut trees, long rainy season, small houses, muddy roads......and so on. But what I really miss the most, are the different food items which are not that good in Delhi. I would like to list down a few of them like the juicy momos with crystal clear soup, rolls, pitha, nadu, pan cakes and the list goes on.
I still crave for the many great friends and memories that we shared in the quaint and close knit community. It's funny how some people come into your life and just as quickly, they leave. And yet, they don't go without giving you something in return; a lesson learned, a talent achieved, a memory of sweetness. There are so many of such people there in my hometown whom I still want to meet but never get the time.
I really miss Guwahati. It is obvious because I have spent great many beautiful years of my life there.
