Rongali Bihu 2006

2006-04-05T08:36:00.000+04:00

21st March 2006

Dear Everybody,
Our annual Rongali Bihu is round the corner. As in the last few years, we are planning this time too to have a colourful and a grand celebration. We have been able to select “TRADERS HOTEL” in Deira, Dubai (Near Old Dubai Cinema) to be the venue for the Cultural programme plus Dinner on

Thursday the 13th April. The function will start at 8.00 pm sharp.
More details of the program will follow in due course.
Attempt is being made to fly in a renowned vocalist (with his accompaniments) from Assam to enthrall us with soothing melodies. Local talents from within U.A.E would add colour to the programme with songs and dance items etc. We are also trying to bring out the 3rd edition of Prabaxi Bihuwan and launch it on the day of the function.
Since both the above require funds, we are looking for sponsorship from private firms as display of banners or adv insertion in the souvenir. Please approach your company, if there is such a possibility.
The contribution per adult has been fixed at Dh. 90, for children between six and twelve Dh. 50 ( children below 6 years – free ) . The above contribution has been very thoughtfully calculated to cover food, entertainment and miscellaneous expenses.
By the way, the total amount collected for the Magh Bihu picnic at Zabeel Park was Dh. 1760 and the total expenditure was Dh. 1933. There was a deficit of Dh.173
We appeal to everyone from the Asom Somaj community from within U.A.E. to join us wholeheartedly and also extend the invitation to people from
Asom living in the neighbouring countries to join us in this auspicious get-together of frolic and fun.
Since we have to make certain financial commitments in advance, kindly come forward, confirm your participation and pay your contribution to any of the following members of Asom Somaj.

Dear all,

My wife Monisha & I had a wonderful experience in the fjords of MUSANDAM in OMAN. The drive from Ras Al Khaimah border to KHASAB (OMAN) is very scenic and beautiful. You have barren rocky hills on your right and the calm and serene sea on your left for about 35 kms. The view is breath taking and enchanting.

I must thank our friend Gopi & Jayanti from Ajman for encouraging us to make this trip to see some lovely and playful dolphins.

In order to make your bookings for Musandam (Oman) please visit http://www.goldentulipkhasab.com/ or www.dolphintourism.net

You will need to drive to Ras Al Khaimah border (AL SHAMS). Please carry your passport & Take your own car (MULKIA) and pay AED 20 per person at RAK border to UAE Govt. (Please fill in the attached exit card form when you go to the border of UAE). At Oman border point (TIBAT) you will again need to fill in another form (this form I do not have a soft copy ) and pay AED 10 per person.

Once you have done this, you will drive 35 kms. To KHASAB, MUSANDAM where you can either take the DHOW CRUISE or MOUNTAIN DRIVE which is offered by
1. Golden Tulip Resort http://www.goldentulipkhasab.com/
Mr. Issa is the Manager of this resort. The telephone contact is: +968-26730777.
or
2. Khasab Hotel http://www.dolphintourism.net/. The Contact person here is Hari. Phone: +968-26730267

We went in a dhow cruise organised by Hari and it costed us AED 200/- per person for a full day cruise. The cruise helps you to absorb the water lapping by your side and the hills all around.

Let me know how you find your trip. Or if you have some more information which I have missed out, then please do share it with me.

Kind regards,
Pratik Das
