Independence Day: In Shillong.
A free concert for the 5% of us that can’t stand bhangra, indi-pop and hindi film music. A very nice change from the usual.
Shame it took a three hour flight full of wailing kids (that should have been checked in with the rest of the luggage) and a four hour drive down treacherously wet, hill roads in a car with weedy tires, no ABS and a driver blissfully ignorant of the concept of aqua-planing. But since I didn’t go skidding off the edge of the hill into the crisp, cool Meghalayan air, I’d say totally worth it.
