With great pleasure, we would like to introduce the couple behind AANA's new website to all of you. Mr. Prantor Bora and Mrs. Geeti Das from Minneapolis are the husband and wife team who have designed and created our new home for AANA.
It took only a phone call to Geeti to invite them to offer their service to the community. In spite of their busy schedule of professional careers and two small children, they offered enormous amount of time and effort doing research in collecting data, materials, pictures and all other necessary information in building this beautiful home for AANA.
It has been said, "Duty makes us do things well, but love makes us do things beautifully" (Zig Ziglar). Please see for yourselves that the couple has put great deal of love and care in this selfless deed of kindness - which will benefit our community for a long time to come. It is not just a 'one time, and you're done' project. They have been updating the website periodically adding new materials. It is always a pleasure to visit the website and find new information, news, or new pictures. All of us truly appreciate their ongoing work.

We welcome all of you to visit our home www.AANAhome.org with your family and friends from time to time. We will be looking forward for your feedback. Please join us in giving a big hand to Geeti and Prantor. Here they are, in their own words:
Let the journey to AANA’s home stay beautiful and meaningful to all…
Prantor and I live in Apple Valley, a suburb of the greater Twin Cities area (Minneapolis/ St Paul). We have two children, 6 year old daughter, Nimisha, and 2 year old son, Taj. Prantor is a Technical Architect/Sr. Development Manager at Oracle. I am a Business Systems Consultant at Wells Fargo.
Our home town is the beautiful city of Guwahati, Assam. Prantor completed his Computer Engineering from REC Kurukshetra, and I completed my Masters Degree (Political Science) from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi. We started our career in New Delhi, and shortly after that moved to the United States in 1999. We have been a resident of Minnesota ever since, and love experiencing everything the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” has to offer.
Nimisha, a 1st grader at the Cedar Park Elementary School, loves to read and write stories, and singing Assamese songs. She enjoys soccer, ice skating and playing the piano too. Our little preschooler, Taj is all into cars and trucks at the moment.
I enjoy web and graphics designing as a passion. Prantor is all into technology/gadgets and loves to go out and play. Our family, together with our extended family of the Assamese Minnesotans living here, Love, Live and Celebrate the festive spirit throughout the year.
It has been a great learning and pleasant experience designing /developing a brand new website for the Assam Association of North America. www.AANAhome.org is invaluable, and we are enjoying our time dedicating it for our community. We look forward to seeing you more at the web, and will strive to make your stay a pleasant and memorable one.
Wishing all readers and friends a happy browsing!
