Tokolangso Waterfall

 

Among all other trips, this turned out to be planned all of a sudden and was solely on coincidence. Being in Sarupathar (Golaghat, Assam) the previous day, I figured out that it takes just half an hour to reach Rongagora Village in Karbi Anglong. Coincidently my jirpo (meaning friend in Karbi language) John was at home. My exuberance to meet his family was at its peak, having met them the last in 2014. Crossing the bamboo bridge on the Dhansiri river via Sarupathar, I reached Rongagora, a village in the Bokajan area of Karbi Anglong District in Assam. As we were riding through the villages, I could recall my last visit to Deopani temple through the same route. Raising up his hand, John greeted me at the Rongagora School Playground. In the evening, I sat with his family around the fire talking about family and life. While I tried my best to understand Karbi, I realised I must learn the local tongue – Karbi properly. I could still connect to the love showered by his Mom and family. Such endearing moments with them felt like I was with my own family.
