Meghalaya

Amit Ray, a solo traveler from Calcutta, was negotiating a bend in the narrow hilly road enveloped in a mist that his car dashes onto another car ascending from the opposite. Thankfully, it was not an intense collision and thus, steppe out unhurt from the car a slim-built Labannya, kicking off a classic romance that still keeps ringing inthe hearts of readers even after nine decades since the accident happened.

Any fan of Rabindranath Tagore will know that this is a scene from his famous novel ‘ShesherKobita’ and the spot is Shillong inpicturesque Meghalaya. 
Barring that Meghalaya is not a part of Assam anymore, rather is a full-fledged state, neither the mystic charm nor the unspoiled beauty of Shillong or the rest of Meghalayahas decayed even a bit in all these years. 

The mist covered serene hilly roads, the caves, the waterfalls, and a whole lot of things are all waiting for many more romantic encounters to happen.
