Our
Purpose The site has been created
as a free service for those, irrespective of nationality,
who lived and worked in North East India in the Tea industry,
Ferry Service, Oil Industry, ITA administration, ITA Research
Station at Tocklai,etc. The resourceful people included
Planters, Engineers, Agronomists, Accountants, Scientists
Administrators, Aircraft Operators, Doctors, Nurses, and
many others. These lucky people are now mainly retired
and living in various parts of the world. It is hoped that
this website will offer a trip down memory lane and facilitate
communication between these people, their friends and family.
Today there are a large number of children who were born
in N.E. India and have a strong interest in the place
of their birth. We hope to encourage that interest.

of our Old Grandmothers This book is a collection of short stories of 25 Indian
grandmothers who were born around 1900. The authors are
their grandchildren. The book covers varied regions-north,
south, east and west.

often subjective and emotional. The book is a fascinating,
human-interest account of the circumstances in which these
diverse women were born and grew up, their ideas,
aspirations, and achievements over their lifetimes--it is
