we visited some relatives..my brother did not know..
the customs of Assam..I did..they offer a gamusa..
kind of a towel..it's a sign of respect..
then on a bhanbatti...they offer tamul pan..
or a horai??these are Assamese signs of respect..
I'll try to find a link..tamul pan..smells horrible..
it's mildly intoxicating..but not like qat of Yemen...
uhuh..I got stoned...in Assam..uuhuh..
sometimes...in wedding ceremonies..they put hasjiesh(bhang)
into the guests tea..stoned wedding ceremony..ahah...come on..
