Hornbill festival is one of the most popular festival of Northeast India, known as the “Festival of Festival’s” hornbill over the period of time has helped rest of the country to realize that the most neglected part of the nation has some story to tell. Not only national, the international turnouts amazed me as well. While me and my friends were preparing for the festival, my family members were a bit worried about how the place is going to be like. They never explored those places but still had a notion that those places are not so safe. I had no option but to ignore them (with due respect) and hence started packing my bag.                                           So, I stated from Guwahati on 1 st of December and took a break at one of my most favorite place ( you can say my other home, Lumding) , we had a 2 nights and 3 days package and managed to reach Dimapur by 5am ...

The newly constructed Barsapara stadium has witnessed one of the finest match people could ever imagine. Chasing 323 wasn’t easy but the class and elegance of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma was enough to reach that target within just 42 nd over of the Indian innings. The pitch helped the batsmen and there was nothing much for the bowlers to do and as a result the spectators of Guwahati witnessed three centuries in a match. Before the start of the match, I had an interaction with former West Indies Cricketer Daren Ganga.  He was a right-handed top order batsman and part-time right-arm offbreak bowler. He played 48 test matches and 35 ODI for West Indies. Hi Daren, welcome to Guwahati. How are you feeling after visiting here? Oh, feeling great. It’s a beautiful looking stadium, the stands reminds me of Barcelona stands, beautifully decorated and great weather to play cricket. The pitch looks good as well, not sure if bowlers are going to get something out of it but I...

Cricket is a widely played sport in India, we have been playing it much before our independence as well. India played the first test cricket in 1932, which means 15 years before the independence but there are a few states in India that lacks the intensity to develop a cricketer who can represent the nation.
