FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

-
It has been more than 25 years so I don't remember the exact date or time but I remember how it felt like....It was a mixed feeling. Whenever, I heard the name of school, I used to imagine a bunch of boys and girls being tortured by some evil adults known as teachers...However, I was also happy to see some new friends with whom I could play around...I was accompanied by my mama (maternal uncle). And, he had to sit there with me for one hour, which was a big time for me...My first day class was a looo.....ng one hour one with no studies at all...I just looked around and discovered new faces. Luckily, our teacher, my first teacher was very lovable and kind. He took me on his lap and made me comfortable....I don't remember what was taught or who else were sitting there with me but that started a new journey towards this new world, full of knowledge....
This first day gave me enough courage to face the little world of school and I was confident to be there next day without anyone from the family sitting with me...

Dental Myth During our childhood, there was a popular lady in our locality who was renowned as “Daater Poka Jharano Mashi” (A lady who could take out worm from tooth cavity)! So, naturally, whenever a child complained about toothache, she was immediately called out to get the child rid of that bad worm causing the pain! And, there were roots of some secret plants she carried in her mysterious kitty.

Do you know that a decayed teeth can lead to a heart attack or stroke?   Yes, those with gum diseases, have twice the risk of a fatal heart attack than those with a healthy gum. Your oral hygiene gives not only a priceless big smile but an overall healthy life! Oral health is still neglected in India which reflects through some data like only 2% of Indian population regularly visits dentist and only 50% Indians use a toothbrush.

Dhamail is a popular folk dance of Barak Valley, which has its origin in Sylhet district of Bangladesh. Radha Raman Dutta (born 1833, died 1915), also known as Radha Romon, Bhaibe Radha Romon or Radha Raman, was an influential Sylheti folk music composer and poet from the Sunamganj District in Sylhet, Bangladesh. He is considered as the father of dhamail folk dance and music. Now, this dance form is diminishing and losing its charm in the age of multimedia. But, it still survives in the three districts of Assam- Cachar , Karimganj and Hailakandi . Tripura, the neighbouring state of Assam also has some traces of this folk dance. Dhamail dance is usually performed by group of ladies. Ladies move rhythmically in circle clapping their hands to the beat of the music. The songs are first sung by the leader and then the other group members join the chorus. The ladies wear saree in a typical Bengali style while performing this dance form.
