Tea Gardens of Assam
When I was growing up in Shillong, Meghalaya (Assam - India), my high school buddies and I would sometimes go for long strols along Police Bazaar and stop for tea and conversation with other friends. "Hangouts" were always awaited early by us (teen-agers). We could relax, talk about the latest novels or books; ponder world events; above all we'd enjoy our tea!! In those days in the late 1950s and early 1960s, tea was one of Assam's biggest exports and it remains.

Tea is synonymous with Shillong
As a lover of tea: tea in the morning, tea in the afternoon, tea at dinner time; I want to say that the tea grown in multiple plantations of Assam are incredibly aromatic like the Assam black tea, Indian tea, the English Breakfast tea. Tea and Teas of Assam display variants that many tea companies around the world seek out and promote. People in Assam especially in Shillong cannot live without tea, literally, actually.
Scotland of the East
As many know, Shillong is considered "the Scotland of the East." As a young girl growing up in Shillong, we wore a lot of plaid in the winter but during the summer, we loved to wear summery dresses. My mother would sew identical dresses for me as well as for my best friend whenever she would sleep over. At one point, Denim "pedal pushers" were a craze and very popular. My best friend and I had our parents shop for identical pedal pushers for us. It was so much fun. I looked at Belle Lily for other fashion merchandizing:
Dimapur, Nagaland, India
I was so excited to come across this video of Dimapur. My father lived in Dimapur, Nagaland, India for a few years and he was an officer in the Indian army. Our mother, my younger sister and youngest brother would visit him for holiday while my other siblings (we being older) would live in Shillong while attending school. This was in the early the1960s. This video below brings back warm memories. Enjoy Jaunt Monkey's cool video:
