I have lived in Doom Dooma from 1973 - 1974. I studied in St. Mary School for the 6th grade. That year, Assam double promoted all 6th graders to 8th. This school ended in 6th Grade. I could either go to Don Bosco in Dibrugarh or Vivekanando in Digboi. For very personal reasons, my parents send me to Digboi. I spent 1/2 a year in Digboi, my father was transfered to Cuttack. My father died in an air crash in Cuttack, 6 months later. We then moved back to Saharanpur, UP and then to Chandigarh, Punjab.

I request you to: 1) Add St Marys on your map. It was outside, may be 1 - 2 km, away from the town on the right side of the highway. 2) I believe the Sikh Temple was off the highway from Tinsukhia (just before the rail crossing) at the entrance of the town. Can this be shown on the map. 3) I believe there was a movie theatre at that time, can that be shown on the map. I remember seeing "Bobby" there. Most other movies were screened on campus at ARC mess. 4) I lived in one of the seven houses at the end of the runway where the planes touched down. 5) We used to go to the town center to buy vegetables. It was under a relatively clean shed. On the side was a bread bakery, where we bought very tasty bread of a special shape unique to that shop. 6) Sikhs are misspelt siks. Please correct this.

I am surprised that 10% of the 19000 odd population is sikhs. At the time, only sikhs were from ARC airbase. Yes, the sikh temple was located in between the highway and rail line. But as far as I remember this temple was very old. When Guru Nanak Dev ji was returning from Burma he had stayed there and hence this place, although small, had historic significance.

I am very pleased to see a good website on Doom Dooma. I am very pleased to see that this place has gained importance through the many tea gardens. I wish that this place gain further importance in the future, without the ugly events, like riots, of 2006.

I had a friend called Narain (do not know last name, my classmate in St Marys 6th grade). His father had a shop on the south side of the highway towards the town side. I would be the happiest person if he reads this and responds.

Can you please get me in touch with the mayor or other town leader? I would like to visit Doom Dooma after 36-37 years. As I see in Google Map, I still think I will recognize most of it.

Thanks and highest regards
