ASSAM SOCIETY OF BANGALORE
From the desk of Chief Advisor,
Assam Society of Bangalore-
Dear Friends,
It gives me immense pride, pleasure and privilege to take this
opportunity to wish each one of you a very happy Rongali Bihu
2013, a very prosperous Assamese New Year and to welcome you all
to Bohagi Adoroni 2013, the 15th Annual Bihu Celebrations of the Assam Society of Bangalore.
This is the time of the year wherein the entire Assamese community comes alive in absolute
abandon, it is the time of the year when great gaiety goes hand in hand with great glamour
showcased through exquisite new designs of the muga and paator mekhala chadors, it is the
time of year for renewing old ties even so new ones are getting tied, it is the time of the year
for bahi, pepa and the dhol to create music magic, the time of the year to dress up & dance to
be a Bihu Konwori, the time of the year to gorge on delectable pithas and larus, time to forget and forgive, time to take blessings from our elders while enjoying the proceedings with
our peers; friends lets welcome Rongali Bihu 2013 with great fun, frolic and fervor at
Bangalore.
The past year had been a tad tumultuous for the Assamese community here in Bangalore with
the exodus issue becoming a significant one, however, with the support of the Karnataka
Government officials and in particular the Bangalore City Police Department, the entire
situation was quickly brought under control effectively and efficiently. It gives me immense
pleasure to inform that Assam Society of Bangalore played a pivotal role in this entire
episode and worked very closely with the Government machinery in managing the situation.
Rongali Bihu is our new year wherein we forget and forgive the past and look forward to
welcoming fresh beginnings in our lives. At Assam Society of Bangalore too this is the same
philosophy wherein in the coming New Year we will be working towards driving peace,
progress and prosperity at all times. We will be looking to have many more socio-cultural and
youth welfare initiatives to maximize the potential of our people as well as provide
opportunities to be responsibly engaged for the betterment of our community.
Happy Rongali Bihu & Joi Ai Axom !
Warm Bihu Wishes

[Dr Simanta Sharma] Chief Advisor
Assam Society of Bangalore
ASSAM SOCIETY OF BANGALORE
From the Presidents desk, Assam Society of Bangalore- I take this opportunity to wish everybody a very happy Bohag Bihu in advance , a very happy Assamese new year and
look forward to celebrating the great occasion of 15th
Bihu
Celebration in Bangalore with ASOB.
Assam Society of Bangalore (ASOB) have come a very long way from our inception way back in 1982 . ASOB is a non-
political, non-governmental, socio cultural organization with the
aim of bringing together the people of Assam and the Northeast of India in Bangalore with an
effort to showcase the rich culture and heritage of Assamese & Northeast people and in the
process building the co-ordination between the people of Karnataka, Assam and Northeast in
general, irrespective of cast, creed and customs. The Assam Society of Bangalore shall
always strive and endeavor to achieve an atmosphere of creating a home away from home amongst the inhabitants of Assam and Northeast in Bangalore.
The objective of celebrating the Grand Bohagi Adaroni is to raise funds for building a dedicated Assam Society Club House in a time span of 5-6years in Bangalore. This Club
House shall also function as a placement cell for the people (read students) of Assam who are
pursuing higher and professional education in Bangalore by leveraging the very enterprising
Assamese Community. The Society Club House will also be able to help and support people
of Assam coming into Bangalore seeking Healthcare services by providing all necessary
information.
In the past and even now, we have done and taken up the cause of many social activities like blood donation camps, placement camps, helping orphanages ,recent North East issues
etc. Apart from these social responsibilities , ASOB has also created many opportunities and
platforms for emerging talents from Assam and Northeast to showcase themselves like inter
college cricket tournament and freshers meet from new students of Northeast of India.
ASOB also organized a homage and a tribute function in memory of the late music maestro, Dr Bhupen Hazarika in first half of 2012.
I take this opportunity to sincerely thank all my core society members, general members,
sponsors, donors and well wishers of Assam Society of Bangalore without whose effort and
co-operation this 15th
Bihu couldnt have been possible. I thank all of you on behalf of Assam Society of Bangalore for supporting us.
I also take this opportunity to appeal to all to come forward, extend your support and lend a helping hand towards ASOB and its continuing efforts towards achieving its varied
objectives.

Bihu : A FestivalA IdentityA Celebration For All !!! Dr Simanta Sharma ------------------------------------------
Bihu is perhaps the single most
important festival of Assam
celebrated by the entire Assamese
diaspora around the world that not
only defines an Assamese
individual but also gives him/her the
distinct unique identity of belonging
from the beautiful state of Assam.
Bihu is celebrated not only with
delight and joviality but also with
passion and vehemence to mark the
change of season. The history of the
significant and noteworthy
celebration dates back to 3500 B.C.
At that point, it used to be a month
long celebration.
Bihu basically is an astounding Assamese dance form accompanied
with Bihugeet (Bihu Songs) that
mark the essence of the pleasurable
and congenial occasion. The dance
forms which are the souls of the
traditional festival were only
restricted and constrained to the men
previously during the olden times.
However, with the passage of time
women too stated participating and
came out of their homes to dance
and celebrate the festival with their
male companions. In fact there is a
form of Bihu (jeng bihu) wherein
only women dance and only women
are allowed to watched. The name
"jeng" comes from the fact that in
earlier days women in the villages
used to surround the place of their
performance with sticks dug into the
ground called jeng in Assamese. It is
also called gos tolor bihu (Bihu
beneath tree).
The word Bihu is derived from the
language of the Dimasa people, one
of the earliest known tribes to have
resided in Assam, who have been
agrarian since time immemorial.
Their supreme god is Brai Shibrai or
Father Shibrai. The First crops of the
season are offered to Brai Shibrai
while wishing for peace and
prosperity. So Bi means "to ask" and
Shu means "peace and prosperity" in
the world. Over a period of time the
word BISHU gradually became Bihu
to accommodate linguistic
preferences. The other suggestion is
that "Bi" means "to ask" and "Hu"
means "to give" and so came BIHU.
In a year there are three Bihu
festivals in Assam - in the months of
Bohaag (Baisakh, the middle of
April), Maagh (the middle of
January), and Kaati (Kartik, the
middle of October). Each Bihu
coincides with a distinctive phase in
the farming calendar. The most
important and colourful of the three
Bihu festivals is the Spring festival
"Bohag Bihu" or Rongali Bihu celebrated in the middle of April.
Rongali Bihu (mid-April, also called
Bohag Bihu), the most popular Bihu,
celebrates the onset of the Assamese
New Year (around April 14-15) and
the coming of Spring. This marks
the first day of the Hindu solar
calendar and is also observed in
45
Bengal, Manipur, Nepal, Orissa,
Punjab, Kerala and Tamil Nadu
though called by different names.
It's a time of merriment and feasting
and continues, in general, for seven
days. The farmers prepare the fields
for cultivation of paddy and there is
a feeling of joy around. The women
make pitha, larus (traditional food
made of rice, jaggery & coconut)
and Jolpan which gives the real
essence of the season. The first day
of the bihu is called Goru Bihu or
cow bihu, where the cows are
washed and worshipped, which falls
on the last day of the previous year,
usually on April 14. This is followed
by Manuh (human) bihu on April
15, the New Year Day. This is the
day of getting cleaned up, wearing
new cloths, wishing family &
friends, taking blessings from the
elders in the family, celebrating and
getting ready for the new year with
fresh vigor. The third day is Gokhai
(Gods) bihu, statues of Gods,
worshiped in all households are
cleaned and worshiped asking for a
smooth new year.
Rongali Bihu is also a fertility
festival, where the bihu dance with
its sensuous movements using the
hips, arms, etc., by the young
women call out to celebrate their
fertility. In this aspect, the bihu
dance can also be called a mating
ritual by the young men and women.
Another very important aspect of
Bihu is called Husori, wherein village elders move from household
to households singing carols, also in
the style of bihu geets, called
husoris. The carol singing starts
usually at the village naamghar (place of worship in Assam) and
then proceeds to individual
households. The Husori singers announces their arrival at the gate of
a house with drum beats. The
singers are traditionally welcomed
into the courtyard where they sing
the husori songs and perform a ring
dance. At the end of the
performance they are thanked with
an offering dakshina of paan (betel
leaf) tamul (areka nut) in a xorai
(brass dish with stand), whereupon
the singers bless the household for
the coming year. If there is
bereavement in the family, or the
family does not invite the husori
singers due to an illness, the husori
band offers blessings from
podulimukh (the entrance gate of the
household) and move on. Generally
the singers are all male.
Traditionally Bihu Dances used to
be held in open fields wherein young
unmarried men and women attired in
traditional golden silk muga come
and dance the bihu and sing bihu
songs. However, with the passage of
time, this form of open bihu known
as Mukoli Bihu started disappearing and the Modern Bihu
organized in a stage and a pandal
took over.
The Modern Bihutoli Bihu:- The
rural festival made its transition to
urban life when it was first time
brought to the stage in Lataxil field
in Guwahati by the Guwahati Bihu
Sanmilani in 1962, promoted by
leading citizens like Radha Govinda
Baruah and others. Unlike the rural
version, the dancers danced on a
46
makeshift elevated stage in an open
area that came to be known as a
Bihutoli. Many such Bihutolis have
sprouted since then in Guwahati and
other urban areas across entire
Assam. The performances are not
confined to the bihu dance form, but
may incorporate all forms of
theatrical performances to keep the
audience enthralled well into the
early hours. Performances could
include standup comedy, to concerts
by solo singers. The stage form of
bihu has today become the mainstay
bihu and the model has been
replicated across the globe by the
Assamese diaspora.
The Bihu Songs & Dance:- The
songs of Bihu are composed in
couplets and each of them invariably
depicts dissimilar emotions and at
the same time the songs are
accompanied with characteristic and
unique dance forms. This is the
charm of this fantastic festival. The
elegance and style of these songs are
noteworthy. The language is quite
simple and straightforward. The
popularity of the Bihu songs has
now crossed the boundaries of states
and nation. Every year new songs
are out in the market. It shows the
popularity and acceptance of the
special and melodious music of
Bihu.
Bihu dance is performed along with
the unique and striking Assamese
folk music. Assamese customs and
ethnicity are visible on the
dance forms. Drummers who play
drums or dhol, are the most
important and significant musicians.
The dhol is played with a stick and a
palm. Drummers perform differently
with variety of rhythms and musical
tunes at various segments of the
performances. These metrical and
musical compositions, called xeus,
are conventionally codified.
Drummers enter into the dancing
premise in a queue and before
entering into the performance arena
they play a short and vigorous
rhythm. The mohor xingor pepa
(rhino horn trumpet) is played
generally in the beginning by
a single player and without any
doubt it sets the mood of the dance
and carnival. Some of the other
important instruments that are part
of a Bihu Song & dance routine are
taal (cymbals); toka (a bamboo
clapper); baanhi (the flute); xutuli (a
type of clay whistle) and gogona (a
vibrating reed instrument similar to
the jews harp made up of bamboo). Significance of Bihu:- The biggest
aspect of Bihu is that it is not a
religious festival hence people from
any caste, creed or religion can
celebrate it together. Bihu as a
festival enables people to come
closer to one another, forget and
forgive old rivalries and goads
everybody to begin life afresh in a
fresh new year. It has the uncanny
power to break the shackle and bring
all the people together on a
propitious fiesta of fun, gaiety and
frolic. The premise is open for all.
Bihus are attached with the souls of
the greeneries and soaring hills of
Assam. Bihu welcomes all, Bihu
celebrates all, Bihu Brings Alive All

Home a place where
my heart resides Nafisa Ahmed KUMARSWAMY LAYOUT
------------------------------------------
Home is a place where my
yesteryears are buried and where my
heart will reside always. It is very
difficult to tear ourselves from
hometown where our family has
roots of several generations. 6 years
back, I decided to move out to a
place that I knew a little bit about.
Buoyed up by the thrill of challenges
that I was going to embrace very
soon. After my 12th I planned to
move Bangalore as it is one of the
fastest growing cosmopolitan cities
in Asia. It is a home to many top
companies in India and offers
plethora of job opportunities. After
completing graduation, I planned to
pursue MBA from Bangalore itself
and then joined one of the largest
FMCG Company.
Over the year I grew up, met people
from diverse culture, diverse
thinkers, and adapting myself to the
new place which floated my
personality to the top in terms of
mannerism, quality and opinion. But
one thing always lingers though
unspoken that I miss home
indefinitely. As I become fully
preoccupied with the daily routine,
just realize the fact that life back
home is going on without me. I miss
my parents terribly every moment,
my friends and my entire family.
Occasions like Birthdays, weddings,
holidays in short all the memorable
gatherings I miss a lot which
saddens me a lot. Apparently, I just
realize that much has happened in
my absence and so much has
changed. Circumstances like visiting
a grocery
store to paying off electricity bills
and searching a new house all makes
us feel that home is where comfort
resides and where our heart is store.
Fundamentally these are the
situations which have altered and
refined me more.
In reality excitement of being home
will never fade. Joyous phase finally
begins when my annual leave gets
approve from my manager.
Countdown begins when I start
counting the number of days left to
be at my home land. There are
certain special things that I never
miss out to do when I am there
which begins by hogging my Moms luscious recipes starting from
appetizing Chicken Biryani, Bhoka
Pitha, Narikolor Laru to Masor
Tenga and the reason of gaining
extra weight once I am home .I dont miss out driving by G.S.Road and
Fancy Bazaar where I occasionally
go for shopping at different stores
and my all time favourite
Pantaloons.
Today I earned the fact that living in
a new place is a beautiful learning
experience, which has given me the
gift of freedom, a new beginning
with the curiosity to explore more
.But every good things comes with a
price and the price I am paying
today is the fact I miss Assam every
moment.

Leela Gogoi who was an author, and former president of Assam Sahitya Sabha. He was the author of many books such as Bihu geet bonghuxha, Noi boi jai,bikudor boruah biya. Nila khamor Sithi and many more. Not only these he
was also involved in ahom history,
comic, and very much interested in
writing songs songs. I have lost both
these people at a very early age of
my life. Still lot of things were left
to be acquired from them. My
parents are also a great support who
helped me in learning my culture,
tradition, etc. And now in Bangalore
Assam Society of Bangalore has given me a chance to get related
with the Assamese culture, Bihu
though staying a thousands of
kilometes away from Assam.
Society has always been a support
for enliving the culture. It has given
me a lot of Assamese friends and
itself gives me a feeling of family. Assam society is actually a family in
Bangalore which help every
A.ssamese in every possible aspect.
At first when I stepped in Bangalore
I felt as if I m so lonely and use to
search people nearby if I could find
any Assamese. Then after some days
I got a call from a member of Assam
society who invited me for the
freshers party. I thought that its just
a party and went there but as soon as
I entered the hall I had a great
feeling as people around me were
talking in assamese. That was an
awesome day which I had achieved
just because of the society.
Nowadays some people feel
ashamed to introduce themselves as
an assamese, but I dont know why? They should feel proud a be a part of
this wide culture and the beautiful
Assam. But still there are some
people who gets stick to their culture
even though staying away from their
natives. Bihu is now recognized in
the national level but I feel it can be
recognized and can be given respect
in the international level if every
assamese supports and put the effort.

English Poem
NATURE'S SPLENDOR Pranesh Chakraborty Kamanahalli,
Bangalore
--------------------
Beauty! the word which I say
which everyone thought of in a
special way,
The way indeed is a special
Its through the bounties of nature.
Yeah; beauty starts from nature
which makes us derive pleasure
When we glance at it in times of
leisure
As if it's been life's treasure.
Nature manifests itself in myriad
ways
Its attractions are infinite,
Nothing in nature is left to chance
Evoke in man's feeling to enhance.
Nature's silent & eloquent presence
lessens the pains of human's sense
Its every creation has a majestic
pinnacle
To make us ecstatically startle.
-----------------
I AM SO SORRY Jyoti Prasad Barua -----------------------------
I am familiar now, what
Never I was to you;
Only a 'smile' was
With me, but never I could
Share that with you, for
What I am so sorry!
I am familiar now, what
Never I was to you;
'Fog' came between you and me
And my divine heart could
Not feel your beat, for
What I am so sorry!
It was not I, who did
Not wish your
Smiling face to me, but
The 'fog' was the reason.
At last, thanks, you erased it
Unfortunately, it was too late, for
What I am so sorry!
Good bye! Good bye! Good bye!
My friends, as it is getting
Dark and dark around me, I
Therefore, have to wish
You 'NIGHT' so soon, for
What I am so sorry!
I am, now, leaving you as
You were my _ _ _ _ _
Someone! Someone! Someone!
With my 'Broken Heart'
And 'Teary Eyes', for
What I am so sorry!!!
