The Journey is an excellent piece of work written by Yeshe Dorjee Thongchi, a prominent Assamese writer and is translated into English by D.P. Nath. The author was a government official. He came to his village to get married. His parents had arranged his marriage, according to the customs of their tribal society. After spending six months at home, he was about to return to his workplace. But he didn't want to leave his new wed-wife behind. He also considered extending his leave. But his responsibilities pushed him to leave.
As theirs is hilly terrain with no motorable roads, the author always prefers to carry less luggage. Now his problem was that he needed someone to carry his luggage because his upbringing had made him avoid physical labour. As most of the villagers were busy in the fields, he couldn't even find one who could help him carry the trunk to the bus stop. Eventually, the writer's father told him he would see him in Dirang. He didn't want to allow his old father to carry his trunk. But his father decided to take the trunk to the bus stop. On the day of his departure, a large crowd gathered to wish him good luck and the author left for Dirang at 10:20 am. His father had already gone and he had to walk fast to catch up with his father. He was very tired when he found his father. He sat down on a rock to rest for a while. His father drank all the wine he had given him and resumed carrying the luggage on his back. The author followed his father. Neither of them spoke a word like they were strangers.
