Our seniors started with a Husori, the very traditional way. Thanks to you guys for sharing the spirit. Thanks to our Ladies folks for their great Chorus. We enjoyed Prafulla Choudhury's Borgeet.
Appreciated Rupak Bhuyan and Neepak Bhuyan (Rick-Nick) wonderful performance ( they sang Bhupen Hazarika's Song ).
