C-da (Mr Know-all),
Since you know everything you might look again at the subject header and tell
us a few points about its main contents?
You have a habit of going at a tangent esp when your pet issue of terrorist
ULFA is challenged.

What is this? Some new desi climatology? That the southwest monsoons, not
being able to unload its moisture in the NE, swerves back to the west in a
sudden acute angle move and go drop its load in Rajasthan?
For your info, the monsoons that bring rains to Assam, is different from the
one that brings rains to the Western Ghats or to Rajasthan or to Delhi and
farther up. It is not the one that does a left-right-left-right and about -turn
from Assam. Westrern/northwestern Indian monsoons don't happen until later June
and early July, whereas the NE area monsoons arrive almost a month earlier.
No, it is not because it takes that much time to take an about turn from Assam
and marching thru the Gangetic plains arrives in Rajasthan a month later.

C-da,
I expected something more sane from you. You are debating about a non issue -
does it matter whether the wind come from St Louis , Missouri (your house) to
reach Assam. The moot point is Assam has very less flood time - only a
week!!!!!! Which is blown out of proportion by those who sy if flood is not
tacled Assam cannot develop.
Any pearls of wisdom from a supporter of ULFA like yourself. May I remind you
ULFA is branded a terrorist organization by USA in 2005.
How very patriotic of you!!!

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. (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.
