SUMIT DAS WID MY LOCAL FRIENDS

OTHER PARTS OF YEAR

Recently one of my friend from Banaras hindu university visited my hometown.

"This place is great and reminds me of my hometown ziro"-sumit das(Arunachal Pradesh).

FUN FACTS ABOUT RIHAND DAM-


1. It is a common place for renukoot youth to chill.Renukoot is a small place and nearly everyone knows each other.If a guy does any mischievious activity then his parents get easily informed of that by some or the other.
2. Rihand dam is 5 km away from main city and is the most safe place for the youth smokers(many will agree after reading).
3)it's a nice spot for picnic in new years time.

An InTrO

Dear friends,
This is my first blog and my nerves are little in rush at present.I may sound like a novice or neophyte as I have never blogged.
