Assam Man Opens Museum Showcasing Vintage Collection
In Guwahati, Assam, a man named Deva Kumar Bora has opened a museum called Nostalgia.
He spent 25 years collecting old items like radios, TVs, and cameras.
These items were once used daily but are now rare.
The museum has things from over 300 years ago!
He borrowed money to create the museum in 2021 because his home was too small.
It's free to visit if you make an appointment, and his son helps him keep everything organized.
The museum is like a time machine, showing what life was like long ago!
