Ashes & Diamonds

I had clicked this picture in Dhubri, Assam, India. The last town in India where the Brahmaputra flows before entering Bangladesh. A little too far from the national capital, this town has witnessed reverse progress, esp. after partition when East Bengal became a part of Pakistan and then Bangladesh. Dhubri used to be a major port before partition with inland water services to many major cities, via erstwhile East Bengal. This photo was clicked on the river bank and the person here carries a bamboo wall, which will be used for fencing or to support a clay house’s wall.
