Visit to Shillong



I spent my bihu holidays in Shillong. I went to Shillong with my parents. We hired a car from Paltanbazar. We reached Shillong at 12.30 pm. We stayed at my uncle’s house in Shillong. I was happy to meet my cousins there, namely Amit, Sumit and Ashish Sinha. They were also very happy to meet us.

Shillong is the most popular tourist place. It is an exciting beautiful hill station and Shillong is also known as ‘Scotland of the East’. There are many beautiful places to see there. The next day we went to see the popular places in Shillong. First we went to the Lady Hydari Park, it is behind the Civil Hospital and in the park a mini-zoo is also there. There was a great rush at the ticket window. My father bought three tickets and we entered the park. We saw many animals there. They looked very scary. Then we went to see the Wards Lake located in the heart of the city. We enjoyed boating in the lake. There is a small Botanical Garden next to the lake. Next we went to see Elephant Falls and Shillong view point. We visited almost all the important places in Shillong. On the third day we went to Police Bazar and Bora Bazar. There were big crowds in the market. We bought many things from the market. On the fourth day we went to Cherrapunjee, officially known as Sohra. There are many viewpoints and places of Tourist interest in Cherrapunjee. They are Sohra Market, Ram Krishna Mission Musuem, Nohkalikai Waterfalls, Living root bridge, Dain-Thlen Falls, Mawsmai Cave, etc.


We visited Nohkalikai Falls (view point) – the 4th waterfalls in the world fields and the highest in Meghalaya. Mawsmai Cave -- where I got a great experience of caving and then we went to Khoh Ramhah. It is also known as ‘Motrop’ and we sat under a tree and ate food there.

We were all enjoyed to see the places in Cherrapunjee.

The memory of the beautiful sights of Shillong and Cherrapunjee are still in my mind.

A life devoted to poetry

Courtesy: The Sentinel By Champalal Sinha In the world of present Bishnupriya Manipuri literature, the man who first makes his imprint on our minds and reflects his image in our eyes, and the name that comes first while discussing the literature of the community is poet Brojendra Kumar Sinha. His fault-finders will, however, have a different view. His is a life totally devoted to poetry, and this is his first identity. It’s poet Brojendra Kumar Sinha who first introduced structural aspect, subject matter, mode of expression, appeal, soul (core), rhetoric and the like in a conscious way in Bishnupriya Manipuri literature in order to put it on a par with developed literatures in the world. And he has been successful in his relentless efforts towards that end. His poems have been translated and published in English, Bengali, Assamese, Nepali, Kokborok, Manipuri, Urdu and other languages, and received with applause. Talking straight, he is the architect of modern Bishnupriya Manipuri poe...

The 'Star' Krishankant Sinha of Space City Sigma

By RK Rishikesh Sinha, New Delhi It is a myth that the all-knowing Internet knows everything. One such myth relates to old television stuff aired on Doordarshan before 1990. Search in Google “Space City Sigma”, the search engine would throw up reminiscent results from the people who still long for those days. Those days were really golden days. Krishankant Sinha in the role of Captain Tara in Space City Singma For those who have watched Doordarshan some 15 to 20 years back, am sure they will have nostalgic memories of it. The days when possessing a now ubiquitous looking television set was a luxury. It was a neighbour’s envy product. It was a visual product to showoff, to flaunt that we have a television set . Those were the days when black and white, locked television was rarely found in homes. The days became immortal for teleserials like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Swami’s Malgudi Days (Ta-Na-Na-Na…), Ek-Do-Teen-Char (Title song: Ek do teen char, chaaro mil ke saath chale to ...
