I got married in the camp itself. I got the permission to get married. My wife wasn’t a part of this organization.

I had just passed class 12th when I left home to join the militants . When I returned, I was all of 37 years but a life time has actually passed.

My friends helped me a lot that time to help me surrender. ULFA did send people to kill me once or twice but they didn’t follow through.

After coming back I had to survive but I wanted a respectable life for my children . I wanted to do nothing wrong.

I started with a small business, it wasn’t going that well. There are problems financially. I had to work very hard to make the ends meet. I haven’t done any work that was wrong. I opened a small shop first and then a restaurant/hotel . This is how I survived my daily. The financial conditions aren’t that good even now.

I have two kids. One is doing MBA. The other one is a gymnast. He’s a national level gymnast for Assam. He’ll be competing in Gujarat for nationals. He’s also a gold medalist. He has also won a medal in Khelo India. I support him as much as I can and I’m proud that he represents Assam at the national level.

I have tried my level burst to support my children in their endeavours. To help them live a good dignified life .
