Cl. Hazarika’s talk was an interesting as well as thought provoking one. He started with defining what art is. Then he went on describing art as a medium, painting as a art form and its relation with other art forms, significance of art in present day society etc within the limited time, thereby capturing the audiences’ mind throughout the session. His quotes, frequently from Sanskrit and occasionally from Assamese and English as well, were ornaments to his brilliant speech.
Later in the session, evidence of his artistic genius was presented to the audiences with a slide projection of some of his paintings, making the afternoon a colourful one. Subsequently, an Question –Answer session was also held which was very much successful with the audiences putting their doubts forward regarding art and Cl. Hazarika very convincingly clearing them up.
Mrs. Charu Hazarika, wife of Colonel Hazarika was also present there. It was noteworthy that both Jiten Hazarika and Charu Hazarika were ex-Cottonians.
