That is good to know. Actually I haven't heard about Jokai India Limited. I thought it was an Assamese word, it is a bit surprising to see it as an Indian company. .
BTW, we missed your name too. You always send us correct information about the Assamese words. Thank you and keep up the good work.

I
want to add something in this regard ...
'Jokai' is a familiar name in Assam. If you go through
the assamese newspapers regularly
you will
come
across many places called 'Jokai' situated in different parts
of Assam.
I personally know a place called 'Jokai' ( including a village and a
big reserve forest called 'Jokai reserve forest' ), which is
around
10 Km away from Dibrugarh towards Burhidihing river.
Every
one must be knowing the company called 'Jokai India Limited' .

Welcome Utpal. Our paths crossed before. I am sure you remember.
Congrats. again on your fine efforts.
Thanks for correcting me. I had a vague idea that there indeed is a place
called Jokaisuk, but was never clear on where it stood. Turns out it is less
than ten miles from my birth-'muluk' :-). But like Ram suggests, it can become
a generic but quintessentially kharkhowa, obscure and humble locale,
that many of us can claim our roots to. In that it is a band of honor that we
proudly wear.
Best,
c-da

Hi all. Just a few things:
1. "Actually Jokaisuk is a mythical 'muluk', from which both
Tilok Daktor and myself, as well as a host of other kharkhowas can and do
hail."
- Chandan-da, Jokaisuk, as far as I know (correct me if I am
wrong) is not a 'mythical muluk'. In fact, quite contrary to the image the
name gives, it is located right on the national highway between Amguri and
Sivasagar, before one reaches Gaurisagar.
2. "I thinik our journaluist new comer friend is 'bhoyote
touba touba khaise'. - RAJEN"
Bhoi khowa nai. I am actually quite excited that what I
thought was just a mere introductory mail from me, and thereby obviously
my first mail to the group, has led to such an interesting
discussion.
3. Manoj-da (of Assam Association, Delhi) and
Shantikam Hazarika : Thanks for mentioning about my winning the
national Best film critic Swarna Kamal award in 2003 and being a jury
member at the national film awards this year. This kind of constant
encouragement helps in thinking of doing something better.
4. A request to everyone in the group: unless there is some
kind of rule about this, please delete all the previous mails (except may
be the mail to which one is replying to) while hitting the reply button.
Otherwise, this makes the mailers very voluminous, with the same mails
being appended at the bottom of each mail repetatively.
