Lakshmi Nandan Bora is no more.
I met him only once, in 2009 or 2010, as an undergraduate student at the University of Delhi visiting the author’s home for an interview for
Janma, an Assamese magazine that some of us used to bring out during those days. He spoke to us – kids of little consequence and importance – for hours with a warmth and intimacy that, later, not only reflected in the pages of the magazine but also kept us beholden.
