Guwahati, June 16 : More than two decades of violence by the banned United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) has created a long list of victims.
The ULFA does not realise that a bomb blast not only snatches lives of individuals but it cripples many hopes and dreams.
On November 6 , on the outskirts of Guwahati a bomb blast took eight lives, including that of Jeoti's husband Anuj Kumar Das, a businessman who was then sitting in his electric shop.
Jeoti Das is still not able to recover from the shock of her husband death.
Jeoti keeps her husband's photo that give her the strength to groom her four-year old daughter, Barkha.
"I have no source of income. I wonder how will I provide a future for my daughter," Jeoti said.
Her marital life lasted not even four years. The sudden change of fate has made her dependent on parents and her younger sister who have come to help her in this time of crisis.
