After cold winters, the world rises to an entourage of cheers of birds and animals heralded by lively breeze blowing across slumbering landscape. Sprouting variegated foliage paints the bleak nature, dispelling the grim ambience. Harmonious tune of kham, sifung, serja and jabsring rejuvenates the world announcing the arrival of Bwisagu: the traditional New Year of the Bodos. Women folks in their traditional attires stretch out their hands and perform bagurumba. In the distant, Cuckoo conspires with nature spreading the message of life and love. It is celebrated when the whole state of Assam celebrates Rongali Bihu and at the same time Baisakhi and Pongal is celebrated in the states like Punjab and the southern parts of India.

Ishan Chandra Mwshahary
The great Romantic poet Ishan Chandra Mwshahary is considered as one of the brightest stars of the Bodo literary community who belonged to the Missionary Era. He was born in 2nd December, 1915 in Thuribari village in a middle class family of Lt. Raitin Brahma and Lt.Gandari Brahma. He passed away at the early age of 25 while he was still pursuing B.Sc in Agriculture. Ishan Mushahary, in his short life, wrote several poems and short stories which were mostly of romantic theme. “Abari” was the first short story written by him which was published in the magazine “Hathorki Hala”. “Sonani Mala” and “Phami” are some of his self-composed poetry books. He was a nature-lover and wrote mainly on appreciating the beauty of nature and love theme. He also used figurative dictions in his poems based on poetic aestheticism. Some of the Bodo critics have compared his life with the great romantic poet John Keats as his life and works are very much similar. During their short life they could inspire, influence and mesmerize the society with their works. Had they lived more they would have contributed more in the field of literature.
