We live in the land of North East;
Which yeilds us an abundance...
Of the lush green forests,
Sapphired waters, scenic valleys,
The ever beautiful coloured skies,
And a spectacular countryside.
Brilliantly unique is our land, be it
Mawlynnog - Asia's cleanest village,
Keibul Namjao - World's only floating National Park,
Manipur - the only home to the Sangai deer,
Sikkim - World's first organic State,
Assam - known for its tea and greater-one horned rhinoceros,
Majuli - World's largest river island
Or the living root bridges of Cherrapunji.
The beautiful states of the North East is ladened,
With so much of the greens and the blues,
At times it feels as if, you and I are living
In Nature's own palace, its resting place.
If you are a Nature lover or a pluviophile,
A traveller or a shutterbug,
A poet or a writer,
This is your place, your dwelling, your home;
To unlock your feelings into words.
To unleash your emotions into pictures.
To backpack your adventurousness and
Explore Nature's wild beauty and bounty.
Nature is no nature, if it's tamed.
But when you can feel and experience,
An indescribable and an undefinable
Sense of ecstasy, out of everything
Your eyes can capture,
Indeed you will know that
Nature remains at its best, in its own skin.
Nature remains at its best, when it's untamed.
When men have been created
To behold Nature's beauty,
Why not tame your eyes to appreciate,
The untamed gift of the wilderness?
Nature is scattered everywhere.
But when it already breathes in plenty
In our native land - our North East,
Why seek it elsewhere?
