August 2007

Assam 2007, the eagerly anticipated yearly Assamese get-together, was joyously celebrated recently by people from all over of North America. This year’s event was held in the Mid-Atlantic city of Laurel, MD. Laurel is only 30 minutes from the US capital Washington, D.C. It is also 30 minutes from the famous City of Baltimore, Maryland, where the US fought one of her last battles with the British Army. Baltimore is also the place where the lyrics of the Star Spangled Banner were composed.
