Kandivali cha Lal
By Prerona Saikia

I never thought that Dahi Handi would be such an extreme sport but I’m glad I could be present amidst the cheers, rooting for someone I didn’t even know. Covering this event was nothing but a rush of adrenaline as I had to run after these enthusiastic groups of participants. The anticipation of whether or not they would be able to reach the handi at the top was so much that I even forgot that I was there for an assignment and was supposed to record everything properly. Overall, for me, it was the best introduction to this city.
