A City Under Lockdown | Aerial Film of Guwahati During Corona Virus Lockdown | Stay Home

This aerial film depicts Guwahati, the economic hub of North East India, and how its everyday noisy and busy streets came to a standstill because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We went out there to document these historic moments. Let us take in this mesmerising view of Guwahati while being safe at home.
This film is dedicated to the unrelenting efforts of all the doctors, nurses, police and everyone who has been working in the front lines
& to all the victims and their families.
Filmed on 6th & 7th April, 2020.

[@parthasaha6218]

To all guwahatians. We all know what Guwahati means to us. The hustle and bustle of Paltan and fancy bazar to the calmness of Brahmaputra and deepor beel. From the top of neelachal hill to chandmari flyover. Guwahati is more of an emotion rather than a city. Stay strong..it might take a year to come over this virus. But we will win and that's for sure.. we are in the darkest hour of our lives. But after every darkness, there is a light. #joyaaiaxom

I spent my college days (the most memorable years for any student)around 6 years in this city. This city taught me a lot either you give up or rise up. Before moving into this city i used to be a very lazy person but hard times over there made me realize the value of time. I had so many memorable moments with my friends some of them are very good and some are bad. Obviously did some unbelievable crazy things which is normal for college dudes and had lifelong experiences. I still try to make a visit in this city after every 3 months gap..
