About the Book
After the success of People Called Mumbai and People Called Ahmedabad, we travel to Shillong. It is one of the important cities in the Northeast India-with a history of transformation from tribal hills to a colonial summer capital to the present day education hub. A hospitable and picturesque city,nestled in the Khasi hills, with all trappings that make it a 'go-to hill station', is so much more than the language of clichés. It provides us with a perfect setting for our third book in the series - People Called Shillong.
People Called Shillong intends to capture the geography and the textures transcending beyond the cliches. 50 stories capturing the heartbeat, the life and times of this city in Khasi hills, with an aim to provide a re-reading and an intimate one!
