The Little Known Corner Of The World Called Assam.

Hey guys how you people doing. Well let me tell you that recently my friend went on a trip to none other than India. And I can’t tell you how completely spellbound, fascinated and gripped he was by the experience. He even went on to say that the trip to India was one of the best trips that he has ever made. The variety that the country offers is simply mind-blowing. He just couldn’t wait to share his experience with me. And believe me ever since he got back and showed me his shopping, the chronicles and the pictures I just can’t wait to make a trip to the place. After looking at the stuffs that he got from the place I realized that it is truly said about India that it is a place with unity in diversity. Well, you have to see it to believe it.

My travel crazy friend however, made a special mention of a place called Assam. Assam is a small state in the northeastern side of India. It is one of the most backward states of India, shrouded by militancy and ruthless physical elements. I know these things must have scared you people. In fact my dear friend also got apprehensive of the visiting the place. But he gave in to his temptation, and today he does not regret. The place is fairly safe. And if you are a true blue traveler and you miss out on visiting the place and whole of the northeast then your trip to India is definitely not completely. The treat of flora and fauna that this place offers has to be seen to be believed. The people, the climate, the natural beauty, the wildlife, the clothes, the food and the list can go on, everything about the place is simply enthralling.

The place is abundant in rivers and tributaries among which a river called the Brahmaputra tops the list. Its in Brahmaputra that the world’s largest river island is located named Majuli. But the place is financially is not that well placed, and it is also facing the problem of erosion. Floods are a nagging problem to the people of this place. The constant erosion is also eating up the size of the island. There are pictures for you on the left of the blog.
Apart from having the distinction of having the largest river island the place also has a number of national parks, the most famous among them being the Kaziranga National Park the park is the habitat of the world famous one horned rhino. However, the tragedy is that today, the population of this “extinction facing” species is decreasing at a rapid speed; mainly because of poaching.
Apart from the one horned rhino the wet savanna grasslands of Kaziranga is habitat to a massive 500 species of birds, 39 types of reptiles including the endangered Gharial and the Assam roofed turtle and 52 mammalian species. It is also known as the home of the “Big Five”- elephant, rhinoceros, swamp deer, tiger, and wild buffalo.

A lot many endangered species are found in this exquisitely exotic place. In another national park, The Nameri National Park there is a species of birds called the White Winged Wood Duck which is acutely facing extinction with a mere 400 left in the world. Among the other national parks come the Orang National Park, the Manas Tiger Reserve and the Nameri Tiger reserve mostly housing the world famous species and the most beautiful- The Royal Bengal Tiger.

Well you needn’t wonder where to put up and stuff there are a number of resorts in the vicinity of the national parks. My travel freak friend put up at a resort called the Wild Grass and as he has a lot to do with the article that I am penning… sorry, that I am typing he insisted that I paste a picture of the resort too. I had no choice but to give in to his whim and you have none than to have a peek.
The article would be incomplete if you’re not given a sneak peak at the clothes and the jewellery of Assam. My crazy friend actually had a trip to the silk cultivation areas. There are primarily three types of silk cultivation in Assam Pat, Muga, and Endi. These silks are the ethnic dresses of Assam and are made from worms.

Last but not the least mention has to be made about the Assamese jewellery. The jewellery is more often than not made in gold and silver with ornamentation from ethnic Assamese stuff.
This is the picture of an Assamese bride. The jewellery that she wearing covers almost all the ethnic jewelleries of Assam.

The people in Assam are basically non vegetarians and they are especially fond of fish. Going by the huge water lands it is only natural that fish is almost like a staple in this beautiful state. Otherwise the people primarily have rice for lunch and dinner.

How can an article about Assam be complete without making a mention of the world famous Assam tea and the oilfields? The Digboi refinery is the oldest functioning refinery in the world. It is the second place in the world where oil was discovered. And there is a very interesting legend attached to the name of the place. The Britishers first doubted the presence of oil in Digboi when they found oil bubbling in the footsteps of the elephants. So the government thought of making an attempt and they dug on for oil. So there was a constant chant of “dig boy dig boy” and this is how the place got its name, Digboi. Today there are three refineries in the state, the Noonmati Refinery, the Digboi Refinery, and the Numaligarh Refinery.

The tea gardens present one of the most exquisite sights in the state. The drive down the tea gardens is something that my friend swears by.

The state also has a number of historical places; the Kareng Ghar and the Talatal Ghar to name a few to visit also including the famous Hindu temple the Kamakhya. The temple is that of a Hindu deity. One of the most important features of this temple is that of sacrifice.

So are you all set to make your next visit to this land? Well, I for one would definitely try to make it to Assam in my next trip. There is no trouble as far as conveyance is concerned. There are direct flights from New Delhi, the capital of India, to Guwahati, the capital of Assam. Once you reach Guwahati, it’s your wish whether you want to take a bus, train or private cars in order to travel to the various parts of the state. And there is also the option of flights to certain places in Assam. So that day might not be that far off when I write this blog sitting in a hotel room in Assam! Well, till then, it’s sayonara….

Travel Smart In Order To Travel Safe!

Travel- whenever this word is uttered all the emotions that rush into the mind are very pleasant. Atleast, for travel freaks like me and all you people who are actually bearing with my so- called blog, travel signifies all that is wonderful in life. There are very few things in the world that can be as exciting and as filled with thrill and gusto as traveling. It shows a person the vagaries of life. Traveling helps one have a closer look at the cultures, traditions, foods, civilization, clothes of the other countries and places. However, it is very important to keep an eye on the major issues like safety, first aid, attitude of the locals towards the tourists etc, before touring a particular place. Otherwise there are fair chances of your dream tour getting into a nightmare.

Talking about exploring places, there are certain places that are over explored. They have been focused on so much that even without going to these places one has the feeling of visiting them in person. New York is an example. So for the travel enthusiasts, it becomes absolutely necessary that they go in search of the less traveled and at the same time exciting places. Well, money also comes into play. Hence, today people are going for places that are beautiful, fresh and at the same time easy on the pocket. Among all the countries that fit these priorities, South Africa and India tops the list. This is not my whimsical dictum. Not to worry. This is a result of all the pains that I took in surfing through the innumerable travel sites. The variety that these countries offer in terms of cultures, attires, religion, people and most importantly food, are enthralling and make them the ideal travel destinations.

However, as I said earlier, it is very important to go through the issues of safety and convenience before planning a tour. In the process of my browsing in order to have a sneak peak into the countries, I found that the features of both the countries are absolutely enthralling. They are infact the heavens for the ideal travel freak. But, hold on, hold on, there is something that I found that might make you have second thoughts about making a trip to these countries. What?!......@#$%^&. Well, I am not left with the energy to actually rewrite the article all over again. So I have used the best option available to me in the system. Yup! You’re right. I have copy pasted the article. But believe me inspite of the risks involved, one is tempted to make a tour to these countries. They actually deserve a try. Alright I am done for now. Will catch you people later. For now: Happy Traveling!

South Africa And India- Sisters In Sex Related Crimes!

Crimes against women consists a considerable percentage of the overall crimes committed in the world today. And it is not as if only the deprived or the low society women are sexually and physically assaulted. Even the highly successful women are not free from the lusty sights and deeds of men. The irony is that no matter how good a life a women carves for herself she cannot actually protect herself from the fact that she is a woman. She cannot safeguard herself from her own sexuality.


Obviously the crimes against women are at a hike in the less developed countries or the third world countries as we commonly refer to them as. South Africa has the highest rate of crimes against women and even otherwise the crime rate in this country is quite high. In fact there are certain crimes that actually South Africa introduced into the world. Sexual crimes are particularly steeping high in this otherwise "beautiful" country. Every 26 seconds a woman is raped and the victims are not just the poor or the blacks. Sexual assault of the girl child is one of the most common characteristics of this country and there are many groups who are involved in child pornography and various other pornographies. The crime rates against women are also rapidly rising in India and India is posing a serious threat to South Africa in terms of the crime against women rankings!

Incidentally in South Africa and India, the number of diseases, epidemics, and above all STDs are also very much prevalent. Infact the dangerous sexually transmitted disease AIDS is having the majority of its victims in South Africa and India. Besides Aids there is also a swell of other STDs because of the widespread crime against women. All the implementations, the rules and the regulations that are being made to get a grasp over the crime against women have been more on the paper and less in reality.

Nevertheless the increase in these kinds of crimes would only result in disaster. One thing that many people don't know is that random and irresponsible sex apart from increasing the chances of sexually transmitted diseases also increases the chance of developing impotence or erectile dysfunction in men. It has been found that erectile dysfunction can attack men who are in the habit of having sex with multiple partners. So rape and sexual molestation not only harms the woman but also the man. The only difference is that the man gets the diseases from his own doings and the woman becomes a victim for no fault of hers. Apart from the physical humiliation any woman who is raped also goes through a lot of physical and mental trauma, her sense of self worth is completely shattered. And many times she is completely devastated; many rape victims fail to recover from the trauma.
There is no medication that can reinstall a person's faith in oneself. But there are medications that can cure the physical bruises of rape and many of the STDs. Erectile dysfunction in men that can also crop up from casual sex can also be treated successfully today. But the medications of ED like the Viagra are very expensive and can be had only on medical prescription. One can order Viagra from anywhere and everywhere, yes you can buy Viagra online sitting anywhere in the world, from the online pharmacies, some of which even sell it at cheap rates. But even this cheap rate is quite exorbitant for the majority of the population in India and South Africa. Good for them, as easy accessibility to cheap Viagra or similar drugs can further increase such crimes in these countries. Now, we can say that ED is a punishment for all these wanton men for their shameful deeds!

The author writes a whole array of articles on the causes and consequences of erectile dysfunction, issues concerning the anti-impotency drug Viagra and altogether provides tips on how to procure Viagra online

Travel And ED Seems To Be Eternally Related!

Hi, people! You must be thinking that I must have disappeared into thin air, isn’t it? Well, here I am, proving all of you wrong. Now I think I have something going about this eerie and fearful disease called erectile dysfunction. Everytime I search the net for some good travel articles, all I end up with, is these scary ED articles. Well, I just decided to make my blog interesting. So I paste them for all you people to read. Just go through the latest one.

Erectile Dysfunction Stumbling The Development of Nations!

One thing that keeps a man and also a woman from having satisfying sex is the famous erectile dysfunction or impotence as people know it in common terms. The disease has been proved to attack around 98% of men. Hence most of the men experience the curse of ED at some points of their lives. Though erectile dysfunction doesn’t actually kill the reproductive capacities in a man yet it becomes very difficult for his sexual partner to conceive for the simple fact that ED handicaps a man from entering his organ into the lady, which is of utmost importance if the couple wants a baby, NATURALLY.
Nowadays there are various hopes for such people who are someway or the other incapable of having a baby on their own. We are not going to discuss these matters out here. What we are actually going to talk about is the above mentioned male sexual disease erectile dysfunction. ED is a very common disease as contrary to popular belief. People are with the conception that ED is a rare disease because the disease is less talked about. Anyways, people might be not aware of the fact that erectile dysfunction is one of the most fertile causes of having problems in conceiving. A substantial portion of the people is not able to conceive because of this nagging disease.

Now let’s discuss a matter that is slightly, different from the topic that we have so far been discussing. If you are discussed the question, what is the most important element for the development and growth of a nation? The answer that would come to everybody’s mind would be almost unanimous, it’s PEOPLE.

Human resources is one of the most important resources for the development of any country, in fact I would like to take the liberty and go a little further and say that it is the most important of all the other resources. It’s the human beings who can either destroy every resource that his country has been blessed with, or make his country progress in the little resources that it has. Let us take the example of the small country Japan. Japan is a country that is located in a highly risky area, geographically. It is located in the earthquake belt of the world. Many a times it has been wrecked by the earthquakes. Mention is not to be made about the atom bombs that nearly eradicated Nagasaki and Hiroshima from the world map. But today this country is one of the most developed countries of the world. Most of the electronic goods market has been captured by this small country. It is among the G-8 countries in the world. Thanks to the people of Japan who have made their country bear every jolt that it has received and made it stand tall among all the other powerful nations of the world. Today it is powerhouse itself. Now let us take the example of countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, in fact all of the Middle East countries. They have been blessed with overflowing amount of the resource that is considered to be the father of all the other natural resources- OIL. Apart from it they are blessed with many other natural resources. But today everybody is aware of the condition of these countries. This is also a doing of the citizens of these countries.

Now all of you must be wondering how the hell is erectile dysfunction and development of a nation related. You must be thinking that you are going through the article of an amateur writer and thus wasting your time. But hold on a minute. I have said that the development of any nation is dependant on its people. But what if there are no people? Confused? Well, let me give you another hint. Erectile dysfunction is one of the primary causes that keep people from conceiving. Now got the connection? Yes, erectile dysfunction is actually keeping many regions from development because it is rapidly decreasing the rate of birth in these regions. Recently a region in Brazil was faced with this dilemma. So the Mayor of this region came up with a very bright idea. What he did was, he banned the sale of all the contraceptives and started offering the ED drug Viagra absolutely free of cost. But all you people who are not eligible for the free supply of Viagra can spend some bucks and solve your ED by ordering Viagra from the online pharmacies.
