Before you proceed reading this article, I'll request you to visit:
What you have read is a piece of painstakingly gathered information regarding my birthplace, my beloved village where I grew up! I supposed it really deserved a place at Wikipedia. Just as the tag-line of this blog, it was the case of "Easy To Write. Hard To Find Something To Write!". This village has given me many things (also have taken back some). So I thought it was time for me to give back some of its due!
I refer to Wikipedia for anything from Electronics (which was my subject) to any fact I wanted. It seldom disappointed me. Then one day it struck to me that if almost everything is in Wikipedia then why not "Khangabok". But was I really ready for such a BIG PROJECT? I've always lived by a rule that "do something fruitful else don't do at all" No doubt, I was determined but I was not ready just by the fact that I knew very little about Khangabok. The below screen-shot is my first compilation on 26 December 2010 and it is self explicit.
This was my best managed effort and even if I wanted to add more, I simply lacked the knowledge and after all , this is Wikipedia and I just can't write anything other than the facts. The Wiki Moderators are lurking to dismantle each and every false entry! So a big dream was struggling to turn into a reality.
Another disadvantage was that, it is not a wise idea to sit in Pune or Mumbai and write of something that is about 3000 Km away! I was down but certainly not out. I began searching the internet about Khangabok, and a little thing that I could get was actually like a valuable asset.One thing led to another. Many calls were exchanged between near and dear and pressed them to get the information needed from somebody who really know the facts.
Despite the efforts I put on to perfect the articles, there have been miscreants who had tried to vandalized the article. Below screen-shots would tell you what I am trying to mean!
But thanks to ever-alert Wikipedia Team who reports the uncalled alteration immediately.
So finally I have managed to bring this article to somewhat "readable". I know it is still far from perfect. Some of the details that I really want to add but still could not obtained are: Area of Khangaok, Population, Sex Ratio, and Literacy Rate etc. But I am not giving up yet. After all what I am doing is for my beloved Khangabok!
