Assam's very own Harry Potter Witch Village

If only could J. K. Rowling's imagination rand wider, Harry Potter would not belong to Fictional Magic Land of England but from our very own Indian Sub continental village of Mayong in Assam.

Just google Mayong and search results would be flooded with magic, witchcraft, witch doctors etc etc...

And to put a legal affirmation to this story, the Indian State of Assam has their very own Democratic constitutional ACT :-

According to the Assam government data, between 2011 and 2019, 107 people were killed across the state in witch-hunting incidents.

The Assam Witch Hunting (Prohibition, Prevention and Protection) Act of 2018 was passed to 'prohibit witch hunting and prevent and protect persons from witch hunting'.

Pictures-in-Motion - August 2020 Edition

"Pictures-in-Motion" - Random taken pictures of things that form part of the life, but no time to think, adjust or take out the DSLR, just random clicks with any to go devices.

Emphasis is more on connection with our life then the Hi-Q device snaps or perfect lights and color compositions.

2019 Ganesh Chaturthi (22nd August) | Photo-story

It was weekend lock down and I forgot to arrange flowers.
It is unfortunate I prayer did without flowers. But I was too lucky to find fresh Laddus and Pedas.
Modaks are not available in this part of India usually.
