Life as a Technical Writer
Technical writers focus on reader actions and write compelling user documents. They are always involved in writing on new software and hardware, updating the product changes or enhancements in the new end-user documents. Technical writing is an ongoing learning procedure.

Assamese Marriage Customs
It was in last December, I went to Sibsagar, Assam for my sister-in-law’s marriage. That day, I traveled through Jetlite flight from Delhi to Dibrugarh. My husband already went there on 1st of December for early marriage preparation. After I reached Dibrugarh, he was waiting there to pick-up me. It takes one hour to reach home from airport via car. Many of our relatives and friends already stayed at the Biya Ghar (Wedding House) from the last few days to help out with the marriage preparation. The next day was called Juron. Juron is celebrated before two days from the marriage ceremony. That day, the groom’s mother and her relatives came to the bride’s home. The dora (groom) does not take part in Juron’s ritual. Actually, he is not allowed to come to bride’s home from the ‘Tamul-Pan diya’ day till the marriage day. The tamul (betel nut) and paan (a leaf) are the most important part of the assamese tradition. In ‘Tamul-Pan diya’ day, groom’s parents came to koina’s (bride) home to for...

Multinational companies offer services and manage productions in more than one country. MNC are in India because it has a huge market and it is one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
