[Assam] luitor pani jabigoi boi

[Manoj Das]

Dear Himendrada

I think it will be possible to get a 'CD' copy of movie. I am forwarding a
copy of this mail to Srimati Bobbeeta Sarma, Chairperson of Assam Film
Finance and Development Corporation Ltd. for a direct response.

Yes, it's very nostalgic to think about the Sunset on the river Brahmaputra.
I am not a poet to describe it!! Hope someone with the right kind of
creativite genius will do the needful for the benefit of the world citizens.
When the tired Sun slowly dips into the crimson red expanses of the river
and the whole west horizon gets the liberal sprinkling of the "hengol"
colour, the treatise is a secne to behold forever. May be we should coin
some term to describe the eventful meoment. I have seen such a term for Taj-
"A resplendent drop of tear on the cheeks of time."

Thanks and regards,

Manoj
