Fiction By Parivita Sinha All flavor fades away with time. Is it with her only or with everybody? She is pondering why nothing gives her any desire? She is yet to reach her mid-thirty but life seems to her fulfilled dream. Gopa had a rising career but she never chased ambitions. She sees her world in her husband. She always wished to be with him and now when they are married, nothing has left for her to gain. But he is unrest. He has big dreams that makes him unrest and sometimes annoyed. Those were the days when they would spend hours together in the class, canteen and in the bus stand. He would do flirting silently, subtly with no friend to ever understand his intention. He was so romantic in those days and it all started then. Time has changed the mood and restrained the endurance. It could be the reason why romance ends when love begins. Time has brought them a new phase of conjugal life and it has its own demands, needs and off course adjustments. Nemesh still loves her but h...

Children's Corner Ritwick Sinha , Class-IV, Don Bosco Sr. Sec. School, Guwahati. Cinema plays a very significant role in our lives. It teaches us many things. The most important use of cinema is its educative value. What cannot be taught through dozens of lectures and volumes of books can be taught through one movie show. No doubt, some good movies have a healthy impact on the youth and such movies create feelings of patriotism, help in national integration and uphold human values. But unfortunately, some people misuse this form of entertainment. Nowadays, they show violence in films, which does more harm than good. If used properly, cinema can be of great help to all people.

Poet Dils Lakshmindra Sinha gave a detailed account on the contribution of Mahendra Kumar Sinha. During the British period some Kolkata-based writers made their propaganda that the “Manipuris are uncivilized and uncultured people”.

It is beyond one’s recognition. Once black and white looking city now looks lively and colourful, as it had gone below planners’ scalpel. My old memory, I found, was failing to grasp the new 21st century city. It has completely metamorphosed to a new one. Big colourful billboards greeted me, trying to get my attention and leaving an impression that there are lot of things to explore in the changed-city. Welcome! The roads which doggedly seemed to remain unchanged then, now gives an impressive overhaul: wide two-lane roads with flyovers in key areas have become the recent landmarks. The main entry points to Guwahati – Railway Station, inter-state bus terminus, and airport – all now wears a new look. Something that startled me with awe was the Lokhra Road, which once gave a barren look, now it buzzes with f...
