@Yamini MacLean Indeed, Thank you so much for words :)
Visiting Guwahati to see that historic Bargola building feels completely surreal knowing it has stood since 1828. Heritage structures holding centuries of trading stories always blow my mind completely. Imagining traders journeying from Bikaner all the way to Assam paints such a vibrant picture. Walking through those old markets definitely tops my travel bucket list now.
Growth is good, looks like a busy market place, have a nice week.
