[Time of writing 3:40 PM; Feb 24 2021]

A journey with joy

We love to travel and make memories. Indeed travelling is such a great part of adventure that besides being having fun it's a good way to make beautiful memories, seeing beautiful sight and beautiful scenery.

It was 4:55 in the morning when two of us started our journey to Guwahati this morning. Two of us (me and brother Pranay) started our journey from Kokrajhar UN Academy. It's going to be such a wonderful moment for me. I am happy to have this trip as -part of having other world and part of important program(entrance exam). From the very beginning, I was much careful of plotting down all the scenes that I would encounter on the way. I have already made plan to write about it.

The scenes from the bus(Gungun) was so nice and enjoying. Being a boy who love to sit by the window of the bus, I was so much alarm of it and a few moment ago I was in a fight for the seat with my brother. We reached Kajalgaon at 5:35 am. At Kajalgaon we were attended to accompany us by my father. And now we were three of us heading towards Guwahati.

Kajalgaon to Guwahati

It was my first long trip. I was so happy and was hopefully waiting to enjoy everything. The bus made a quick run. Now I could see the trees, other vehicles and the green vast horizon moving away behind us. The sight was so beautiful! It was so awesome. I was thinking to take a few books( to be precise like story books, novels etc). But I forgot. As a matter of system, there were both beautiful and ugly scenery. The green fields which were set to ablaze by the beautiful. The sight was somewhat very different from the common view. It quickly took me to the other world. I just remembered of my village. I could find many similarities between the two.

After constantly viewing the sight for the last few hours I got tired. I began to feel sleepy. The sight now suddenly seems not much enjoying and temting. I got tired of my sight. Now I tried to sleep in the bus but couldn't. I took out my smartphone and got my earphone and started listening music. I listened over six  different music. Precisely to mention a few of them were  Titanic, Bas ek Bar, Hawaaein, Songs from MK Narzary etc. We both listened the song under same earphone.

I familiarises the scenes with the song. It was such an extraordinary feel when one knows the method of combining musics with the scenery.
The scenic beauty of the green field took hold of me tightly. On the vast horizon I could see cattles grazing, birds flying, men walking. There were mountains at some places, at some blue rivers and green rivers( cover with algae called algal bloom).

On approaching Brahmaputra (Bur-lung-butur) river (Saraighat Bridge)

On approaching Saraighat Bridge, I was so happy to pass through it. Being one of the longest bridge in the NE India I was so much  excited.

We made video of the scenes starting to till we passed through the bridge.

On Reaching ISBT

Now we reached ISBT at about 9:40 am on 24 February. After we got down we first went to look for our exam(JEE) centers. Mine was just near at ISBT. It was  called Royal Global University, Betkuchi (click here).

It was a large building. This university has such a great facilities and services. It's a famous University in Assam. We confirmed about the venue (if it was the exam center). We showed the security the address of my exam center. After confirming we went to look for another exam center (for brother Pranay). His was about 2.5 km (vector form) from mine. But distance was much more than 2.5 km as the road were curly.

We reach Garchuk where my brother's exam centre was. His exam centre was called as Scholar's Institute of Technology and Management (click here)

                             Management

 And after being confirm we went to search for lodge. We rent at RD lodge where the rent was $5.46 (or rupees 400) per person for a night. We lodge there. There were two big and pretty fearful dog. They were all seem to be friendly and nice. But not for me, as I belongs to a class of easily-timid people.


Later on after setting up we went to a restaurant. We ate there our lunch. Although the food seems to be disappointing as it was some sort of boiled rice. Having our lunch we walk for a while. At not far from the restaurant where we had our lunch, we pass by through a hotel and restaurant name Zabrang. They invite us for a dinner in that hotel which later found to be $ 1.23 per plate (veg).

It seems now boring, staying in the logde having nothing to do seems irritating. I open my phone and at 3:40 I began to write this. My brother had a nap. We sleep for a while, using our phone for a while and for a few minutes we solve problems as a preparation for the exam. 

At evening about 7:25 we went for dinner at the Zabrang. It cost $ 1.23 per plate. Although the food and spices were all delicious but the price seems to be high. The set up were all good and it was nice and attractive. The hotel manager( a woman) who seems for me as a learn-english, had some conversation with us. She asked us about the exam. And She wishes us all the best for our exams.


The Next day- Exam day (25 February)

On the day of the examination, my heart started beating constantly. I feared how my exam could be. It was my first entrance examination.
