The city of Guwahati is the “Gateway to North-East India”. It has a vibrant urban built form with accessible public transportation, furnished residential buildings, well placed market places and shopping malls, and tons of recreational activity centers such as movie theaters and parks. Apart from all these amenities, I would like to stress on the brilliant temperature the city boasts of in the winter, which can be contrasted with the unreliable temperatures in the summer.

Guwahati is a million city which receives a copious amount of precipitation. It is also hot and humid during much of the year and diseases like malaria and dengue are not uncommon. Traffic can be tedious and getting to workplaces a bit of a daily battle. In spite of these difficulties, it’s my home and where my bread and butter comes from.

It is the gateway to the whole north-eastern states of India. It is surrounded by hills which provide a pleasant view but the weather is very humid during the monsoons. It provides all amenities of a modern city life with the usual traffic jams. Life does come to a standstill due to waterlogging even after a downpour of 30 minutes.
