Book excerpt: It is a tale in the song of an airman who leaves his camp and reaches the peak…. The Shillong Peak. Where Love feels him with a beloved footfall and touches the deep spaces of his soul. It is a book of cultures that grow in steps on the sylvan vistas of heavenly Shillong. It is love. Simple and drawn on the lingering frontiers of the beyond in the naïveté of the mid-70s. Nina...the most beautiful girl in the campus, and the topper…. And Rohan. He is an airman in the night, and a student by the day. They meet on the struggling ways of life. And walk together in a village church. Comes in Trisha, a goddess of charm, beauty and grace- -an angel but at the mercy of a forest of rogues. It is also the story of the Department of English nestled by the twigs and the tweets of the birds- real and sweet, in the lap of Shillong.

Download or read book Mandatory Poison and other Shillong Things written by Bikika Laloo Tariang and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2024-05-24 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel guidebooks may be common today (especially thanks to the Internet), but a book that looks beyond the landmarks and the dos and don’ts for tourists/travelers (there is a difference between the two) is fairly rare, and all the more so when written from the author’s personal perspective. The city of Shillong has always fascinated newcomers and seasoned travelers alike and has received its fair share of exposure, owing to the onslaught of print and electronic media, especially the Internet. What else is there to know, right? Yet, here is a book that reveals how inhabitants of a city routinely live, from their conversations, to their food habits, to their idiosyncrasies, right down to how they treat their dead. Tidbits that may or may not be found in other information sources, but surely attention catching in the unique style used by the author, sprinkled with humour and even poetry. In the melee of information sources on Shillong jostling for the readers’ attention, this book offers content that will serve not only the tourists/travelers – it is a cozy read that will warm the cockles of even the non-travelers’ hearts.
Download or read book Shillong written by Sutapa Sengupta and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The out break of Jaintia uprising in 1860-61 proved the inadequancy of Cherrapunji as the location of the District Head quarters of Khasi Hills. The search for a new location for the District Head quarters ultimately led the last of the commissioner of Assam Col. Henry Hopkinson to the valley of Yeodo. The present Shillong was covered at that time by deep forests surrounded by populous villages, like Laban and Mawkhar. Jungles were cut, some allotments were made to Europeans and Eurasians in the core areas. The migrant business people were allotted land in what is now known as Police Bazar. With the shifting of the offices from Cherrapunji Yeodo was renamed Shillong after the sacred peak by Col. Henry Hopkinson on 28 April 1866. With the formation of the chief commissionership of Assam in 1874, the political and administrative head quarters of the chief Commissioner Col. R.H. Keatings was shifted after 40 days of stay at Guwahati to Shillong on 20 March 1874. Since then Shillong has not ceased to grow as the capital city of provice except for a brief period of 1905-1912. Even then, most of the Government offices remained in Shillong. The home coming from Dhaka to Shillong did not take much time.
