It is the Brahmaputra that greets you when you first enter Assam. Its meandering presence has shaped its terrain and left its silt on the stories that are passed on from one generation to another. It is this majestic expanse of water and its range of moods, from the furious to the friendly, agitated, meditatively still or just as a silent spectator, that has been the one constant in a region that has been in a state of flux throughout its history.
The Magic of The Brahmaputra will ferry you to the Northeast, its culture and quirks, food and festivals, the rhythm and restiveness, the vibes and the verdancy, its past and present and everything else that envelops it with a uniqueness seen and experienced through the eyes of someone who arrived there as a stranger and took leave as a lifelong lover.
