It is very early in the morning on the campus of the Action Northeast Trust or Ant, the lovely acronym by which it is known. We are somewhere in the strife-torn Chirang district of Lower Assam, close to the border with Bhutan. This is where the Bodos have been asking for a separate state.

The Ant campus usually comes alive early. But at 5 am it seems we are up earlier than early in our eagerness to see what happens at a monthly mental health camp that Ant has been holding for 10 years.
