Shillong dear Shillong

As soon as we were done with our exams we rushed 

 outside to congratulate each other and of course big

 hugs were exchanged, in the midst of all that I 

happened to have overheard my classmates 

conversation .  one said ‘what plans after school …. Any 

thought of studying in shillong ‘and the other one replied 

"anywhere but not shillong” !

I Am sure this is something my Shillong folks can relate 

to more than others .  the other day after overhearing 

their conversation I was taken aback by peoples thought 

about Shillong , do they even know what  ‘Shillong” is ! I 

know most people have this concept that , after they are 

out from here perhaps to complete high school or college 

THAT  they will have a better life perhaps a more 

sensible one  too !

Yes true maybe Shillong can’t offer you with that 

exposure and advance life , but folks this is the place 

that has nurtured you since you were a child and 

suddenly you grow up to have a complete different 

opinion calling it backward and primitive doesn’t your 

conscience stop you from doing so …. I wonder!.

I see people updating statuses in facebook as , “can’t wait to get out of here” or ‘I am tired of Shillong” seriously !!! those people should get a reality check done , they actually “predict” that life outside is better someplace where  they can bask them self and feel absolutely wonderful about themselves.

 I Wonder if they will ever come out of their delusion 

  

And as for how true this fact is about Shillong, ask the 

people who are living outside , they will tell you , how ‘

blissfully’ they are basking  themselves !

SIGH ! At the end of the day , learning to appreciate 

things is the most important trait one should have rather 

than being ignorant to the blessings that God has 

already given you .Shillong is a wonderful place 

sometimes even words fall short to describe this small 

town life which is so blissfull in its own little way and 

those people who think it’s a waste of time , I pity them 

for not having their senses right .

this view is worth living for
