Does Umesh the renowned, Harvard trained climatologist know what the
direction of the monsoon winds that bring rains to Assam and the
contiguous region are? Can he explain how it turns towards the west
all of a sudden? It would be very interesting to learn.
But something tells me we will be deprived of that bit of Rajasthani science.

Hi,
While discussing with Ahsan-da Aziz the maker of the film
http://www.sonam.net.tc/
I learnt many things which might surprise some .
For one despite having ample water Assam imports fish from South
India - strange trade. The eggs are hatched in Assam , roe (young
little fish) are raised in Assam's fish farm - then they are sent to
Andhra Pradesh where they grwo and then brought all the way back to
be sold in Guwahati's fish markets ( a regular place where ULFA
places the bombs and kills civilians and also at the vegetable
market).
About floods I am told it is a week long activity in Assam - only
one week!! or ten days - and that due to global warming the moisture
is transported to deserts of Rajasthan which are seeing unheard of
floods in areas which never received any rains at all. Cherapoonji -
world's wettest place has seen no rains since all that rainwater has
shifted onwards to drop on Mumbai causing massive unheard of floods.
Those with slightest knowledge of monsoon rains in India would know
that warm moisture laden winds flow inwards towards Assam and rest
of NE India in Spring onwards and when they reach Himalayas they
rise higher and cool down to form rain. Now it doesn't cool down
enough so no rain for NE India for past 2 years. The winds continue
westwards and causing floods in usually desert areas (which have
seen ground water disappear over the years due to excessive
population and irrigation) thus I am sure thse guys are not
complaing about unheard of floods.
