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.

Sri Sri Bhubaneshwar Sadhu Thakur

By Ranita Sinha, Kolkata Sri Sri Bhubaneshwar Thakur, the great saint of the Bishnupriya Manipuri Community was born on 26th October, 1871, in a remote village of Cachar district called Baropua in the state of Assam. He was born to a Xatriya Manipuri family. His father Sri Sanatan Pandit was a Sanskrit teacher and mother Srimati Malati Devi, a house wife. Sadhu Baba from his childhood was indifferent to all worldly happenings. He was engrossed in chanting the name of Lord Krishna. Along with other students of his age, Sadhu Baba started taking lessons of grammar and other spiritual literature from his father. At a very young age he lost his mother but he was brought up with utmost love and care by his step mother.

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 ...

Bishnupriya Manipuri Development Council: Few Pertinent Questions (Part I)

By Rebati Mohan Sinha On last 25th March 2010 there was an announcement in the floor of the House that the Government of Assam has agreed on principle to form three separate Social Economic Development Councils for Bishnupriya Manipuri, Nath Yugi and Maimal. And now the Cabinet Committee has given its nod. It will be placed in the House (not yet placed) and once it is passed, then a Ministerial Committee would consult the stake holders i.e. these three communities, regarding their aspirations and would send its recommendation accordingly to the Central Government for further action within the next two months. The two months time since been elapsed, even then the bill is yet to show its face in the House. The Ministerial consultation is quite far away. Why am I repeating the same thing now is because of a section of Bishnupriya Manipuri started quarreling for the share of so-called power, from now on, without knowing the outcome of the development which is taking place in the...
