Travel2Shillong

This Christmas and in the New Year, people are traveling:

This 2020 has been a difficult year for many of us; so look forward to 2021; plan to travel, perhaps to Shillong?

If you stop at any restaurant in Shillong (Barabazar area), you will definitely be served tea: it can be spicy or regular. When we were in college, my buddies and I would stop at our favorite wayside eatery: chat and laugh over nothing. We, of course, drank tea along with dosas or somosas. "Those were the days, my friend, I thought, would never end" -- remembering Fernette, Ellerene, Agnishika and all my high school friends. Here is "tea" to all of them!!

A friend on Facebook mentioned the name of a person, "George Richmond." I knew a family when I was in high school. I, vaguely remember the father of these young men was a teaplanter. Hence, I, have a feeling, they may be the same youngsters I knew growing up in Shillong. http://www.booking.com/Share-ubKG0j "It's a Small World Afterall"

This time of the year, in Shillong, on our way home, we'd be lugging our school bags, walking close to each other, engaging in fun conversations, eating roasted peanuts bought at a roadside vendor set up (sellers); feeling nostalgic right now as I open a bag of salted peanuts bought at Kroger's the other day;

I remember a "time" when I was in High School, my buddies and I would hang out in an "all-vegetarian" restaurant. We were Khasi, Assamese, a Bengali, Lushai and myself a Gurkha girl. We'd pool in all our change and feast on "dosas," "cholay" and "chai". We'd hunker down while it rained outside, sharing secrets and gossip like no other, discussing the book, "Peyton Place." Nobody had any clue as to what "time" it was. I miss my youth and Shillong. This is actually the best time of the year to travel to Shillong, Meghalaya (a place where I spent my teenage years). "Time" as in the past tense; "time" as in the present tense; I will always remember Shillong; I miss Shillong; looking forward to when I can visit Shillong again. Like many Shillongites who live overseas, I follow many YouTubers and enjoy their videos of Shillong. "Time" -- look at this watch folks!!
