By now many Assamese would have travelled to Chicago and New Jersey to celebrate the 4th of July under their respective organizational banners. We wish them a safe trip and lots of fun. After all, these are our loving friends and dear relatives. We are aware of the amount of work that goes into such an event.
Meanwhile, a vast majority of Assamese would stay back or go somewhere else. We stayed back because an organization is not our cup of tea. However, we did not sit idle. We worked on a video drama and had lots of fun making it ready. We plan to watch it during the 4th of July weekend in our own private ceremony. We wanted to share our drama with others who might like to watch it too.
Please feel free to leave your comments in the YouTube video - Part 1 & Part 2. It’s ok to disagree without being disagreeable. Please be respectful to others opinion.
It’s a satirical drama and viewers are strongly urged not to look for facts in it. But if you do see and hear something that rings a bell, you are at liberty to interpret it whatever way you see fit.
Thanks a lot,
