As an avid Orkut user I bump into many interesting people. In the last one
year I bumped into the profiles of two really talented Assamese youths. Knowing
about them, seeing their works still gives us a hope that all is not lost yet!
The first person is Angshuman Borkakoty. His profile interested me as one of
his favorite movies is Wong Kar Wai's 2046. I was thrilled to know that people
in Assam have watched that movie. A series of communications followed in the
following months. I came to know that Angshuman aspires to be a film maker.
(avid bollywood goes can excuse us here). He had actually started making short
movies which are available at You tube. I was thrilled to see his short movies,
I was also thrilled to see his handling of sensitive subject matters (which
again is very subjective).
Angshuman's short movies can be watched at:

The other person I met at Orkut is a music maker. Dhritiman Deori is a
singer,composer,programmer,audio engineer. He is trained in Indian classical
vocals at the age of 10 and then received formal training in Keyboards and the
guitar. I was stunned when I heard his Powa-Nopowa...a great voice, great
mixing...and he lets me know that Powa Nopowa was recorded in his bedroom!!
You can visit Dhriti's myspace profile and listen to his songs:

Usually I dont care about comments on my posts, but this time I would really
like to hear from you all-if you liked these two young people from Assam
weaving dreams in their own ways!!
