An essay on my trip to meghalaya

Answer:
Chasing the Scotland of the East: Shillong-Cherrapunji-Mawsynram tour for a week!
We descended from the steeps of Bomdila, Arunachali Himalayas rather quick and entered into the warm embrace of the Khasi Jaintia hillside in a day, fourteen hours of road-trip to be precise! Verdant landscapes and still bodied Umiam quickly formed a layer on our memory, which was overwhelmed in the awe of snowcapped mountains and frolicking Jia Bharali from Arunachal Pradesh! Countless steel bridges helped us surpass the expanse from two distant states of North East India, one bordering with China, other with Bangladesh!
The Skywalk atop Don Bosco Museum, an astounding institution to learn about the North East of India!
Enroute Shillong from Guwahati, Bramhaputra made a stunning appearance with a spectacular sunset. The roadside Assamese Dhabas filled us up with sumptuous thali meal, beaming with the goodness of winter vegetables, carp fish and Posto (poppy seed). All food items are cooked in mustard oil in the region!
Bijou Cinema Hall Shillong
The Bollywood crazy India at Police Bazar, Bijou Cinema Hall, Shillong, Meghalaya!
Meghalaya can easily boast of excellent road connectivity in the entire North East India, barring the plainland of Assam, formed with Bramhaputra’s grace! It is only 3 hours drive from Guwahati to Shillong. We also had an option to fly in with helicopter services but chose to extend the road trip from Arunachal Pradesh instead. The hairpin bends seemed to go smoother as we entered Shillong.
The New Year Eve at Shillong!
An essay on Shillong can never be written without mentioning her spirit of festivity! The Christmas Eve and New Years the time of celebration! We arrived during the eve of New Year. The city decked up in pretty neon colored dim lights. The roof, oops.. sloping terrace of the old colonial massive structures reminded of the British days bygone.
Meghalaya’s capital Shillong was to be home for the next seven days. Nestled in the far eastern hills of the country, Meghalaya has an early schedule for sunset. It was pitch black dark at 5:30 pm! The famed Barapani, Umiam Lake did not make the striking appearance as it does to everyone arriving Shillong in daylight. It mattered in the long run. From the profound mountains and nothingness of Tawang, we fell directly into a sea of men swarming in the suffocating crowd of Police Bazar. Shillong was definitely not a case of love at first sight.
Shillong grew on us, slowly but surely! How fondly I remember the scary crowd of Police Bazar, now! But if you are visiting, I suggest take good care of your electronics, camera and phone and purse!
