While in Svalbard, its always wise
to venture with a certified guide
as these Polar Bears consider
human beings as prey and they
attack real quick. The adults
weigh in sizes ranging from 250-
800 Kgs. and can be brutally
strong when in the attacking
mode.
We had the privilege of meeting
Lisa Djonee, who left the comfort-
able ambience of life in mainland
Norway and decided to relocate
to Svalbard in search of a new
meaning. Lisa has been living
in
the
obscure
town
of
Longyearbyen taking to teaching
as a profession at the local
school and in her spare time, she
simply goes all out exploring the
Expedition-like environment in
this part of the world. The majesty
and
grandeur
of
Norway’s
Svalbard region is best summed
up by Lisa herself - “I have had
the joy of experiencing every
season
and,
if
you’re
adventurous,
there’s
always
something
exciting
to
do here”.

Renowned Scandinavian author
Knut Faldbakken, many decades
back had coined the phrase -
“The art of making things cosy
is Norway’s most important and
representative contribution to
world culture.” And may I add
that the world famous Assam
Tea has epitomised the spirit
of cosiness and taken it to an
altogether different level. Cheers
to Assam Tea and here is wishing
Pradip Chakraborty, from India’s
Tea
Capital
Dibrugarh
for
venturing on his solo effort to take
Assam Tea global.
