@Mageba_wav I'm curious, wouldn't there be very bad air circulation in it and you'd pass out with CO2 poisoning in the morning?

The Scary Nights of Guwahati
Guwahati has always had a complicated relationship with the night.
A friend who recently moved here told me something with the innocence only a new city can inspire. They said Guwahati is convenient. That after midnight, they drive to Jayanagar, pick up snacks from a 24/7 departmental store, buy cigarettes, loiter a little, breathe. I told them, not as advice, but almost as a warning disguised as affection, please avoid going out unless you have work. After 10:30 PM, this city changes character.
That sentence made me feel old. Or maybe just local.
Because I come from the generation that still remembers when Guwahati after 9 PM made no sense to ordinary people. The city shut down early, not by law but by instinct. There were hardly any streetlights. When lights were installed on a flyover in early 2000s, it felt like civilisation had arrived. I remember returning on my father’s scooter from my grandparents’ house, half asleep, my head wobbling in the night air. He would stop at Ulubari near Misti Mukh, borrow water and splash it on my face to keep me awake. Later they installed an Aquaguard there, and the ritual upgraded, now I had to drink a full glass too. That was our nightlife.
Back then, people rushed home because the dark belonged to insurgency, rumours, and the kind of lawlessness that didn’t need explanation. The city was afraid of what lurked outside.
Today, the city is lit. The roads are wider. There are pubs, cafés, all-night stores, brighter flyovers, and more cars than the old Guwahati mind can process. On paper, we are modern. On Instagram, we are metropolitan.
But the nature of the night hasn’t changed.
Only the predator has.
Earlier, it was fear of a bomb, a bandh, a sudden silence.
Now it is the fear of an overpowered SUV, driven by someone drunk on speed, entitlement or both, smashing into your parked car at a traffic signal and risking lives that were simply waiting for green.
The recent Madgharia tragedy is not an exception. It is a reminder.
The nights of Guwahati are no longer closed. They are open. Open to everyone. To migrants, dreamers, young people looking for a little freedom, a little fun, a cigarette, a snack, a late drive, a city to call home. Lakhs now live here with different aspirations. They all deserve to feel safe in this city.
But Guwahati still carries the old fear in a new bottle.
We survived nights of insurgency. It would be a cruel joke if we now lose people to nights of stupidity.

Imagine a classroom in Tihu College, Assam. It is a humble setting where local students come to learn the basics of physics. At the front of the room stands a man who looks like any other dedicated prof. But when the bell rings & the students leave, Atanu Nath plugs back into the global grid. He is calculating the g-2 factor: a measurement so precise it is like measuring the distance from Earth to the Moon with the accuracy of a human hair.
The Muon is like a fat version of an electron. According to every physics book written in the last 50 yrs, it should wobble at a specific rate when put in a magnetic field. But it does not It wobbles differently. Prof. Nath was part of the elite global team that tracked this tiny, impossible discrepancy.
The Northeast has always been a Silo of culture & resilience, but in the world of high-energy particle physics, it was often a Ghost region. By winning the 2026 Breakthrough Prize, Prof. Nath shattered that ceiling. He proved that a scientist from Lalabazar, Hailakandi, can sit at the same table as the legends of Brookhaven & CERN.
Even with a Breakthrough Prize (and its multi-million dollar purse shared among the team), Prof. Nath remains an Assistant Prof at a local college. He represents the India Bull spirit: the refusal to move to the Big City because the mind can travel further than the body ever could.

Dr. Atanu Nath from Assam has been awarded the 2026 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics—often dubbed the “Oscars of Science”—marking a major achievement for Northeast India’s scientific community.
He shares the honour with 376 scientists worldwide, including around 11 Indians, and is the first scientist from the region to receive this recognition in the category.
The award this year recognises the Muon g−2 experiments conducted at CERN, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Fermilab, regarded as a milestone in modern particle physics.
Hailing from Lalabazar in Hailakandi district, Dr. Nath is currently an Assistant Professor at Tihu College in Nalbari. His recognition has been widely celebrated across Assam and the Northeast as a moment of pride for the region.

@Debabrata1729 oww. I have my core in atmospheric science from this sem. Ocean and atmospheric dynamics, hydrometerology, aerosol physics, atmospheric thermodynamics and so on.
English

@bsqaureb Last sem I had Atmospheric sciences and oceanography. This sem I have Intro to Geochem and Evolution of the Earth. First year had two courses, intro to environmental Sciences and the other was Earth and material processes I think
