Imagine -- somebody trusted me and left a comment for me. I got so excited that I had to thank him here. Any way, Greetings my friend Dipak Varsani and fellow blogger - I'm hoping you're a resident of Shillong? Still, Welcome to my blog and thank you for visiting my blog!!

As you well know, I grew up in Shillong. My fondest memories are those of my father waking us up in the wee hours of the morning with bed tea (served while you're still in bed); an enticement to wake up and start cramming for final exams (school). We lived far away from school so we had to walk quite a distance to catch the bus!! Tea has always been a welcoming beverage in our household of six siblings: As an affiliate, I may earn a small commission from any item you purchase but no additional cost to you.

I spent my teen-age years in Shillong. Shillong in the 1950s was still considered as being in Assam. Now, it's Meghalaya, India. My high school buddies and I would hang out over cups of tea and dosas at local restaurants. We were not allowed to go to clubs so the only place we could really sit around and talk was in an Indiana or Chinese restaurant. We enjoyed drinking tea, a beverage enjoyed by all. I love this site I found on a random search:

I have been back for almost three weeks from NYC. I spent 23 days between Long Island City and NYC. I will start posting some of my adventures on my other blogs as well. My younger sister who lives in the U K has already booked her flight to Sydney for May 8, 2020. We are planning to visit my older son, his wife and my grandchildren. I am still browsing for a decent fare. For any of you searching for good rates check this out:

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.
