Mountain Mist & Meghalaya

 #quote , “Nobody can manage time. It's time that manages us. It flows like a flowing river where you cannot touch the same water as it is never constant. Once we flow with it, things are smooth, but when we try to rule over it, we fail miserably.”-- 

I have traveled to Meghalaya in 2016 and was awestruck with the sheer beauty of nature and humbleness of the people. When I came around this book title I instantly had to pick this one up. 

Why you should read this book 

1. If you like travelogue this book is definitely for you

2. If you like a book on intricate human relations and interaction this book is for you

3. If you believe in legends myths and folklores then it is a must read. 

Narration of this book is crisp and gives a new take to travelogues. Our writer duo has narrated an enticing story woven around travel, local believe and humane nature. Our protagonist lives a typical Mumbai life and a mundane job that keeps him busy. But apart from his regular life he is a completely different person while traveling. He likes to travel slow indulge in the surrounding and absorb the maximum. Travel is his refuge from a monotonous job.   I really liked the description of the surrounding nature and miniscule details taken into account while writing the book. I was amazed to see the seer grandeur of mystic Meghalaya but reading this book made me realize what all I have missed visiting. The book serves as an ideal itinerary for someone planning to visit Meghalaya. The book gives us an insight of the people the tribe there cuisine and there holistic approach towards living a simple life. How there life value are based around nature and there way of life based out of folklores. Yes folklores are the real highlight of the book, the chapters of the book is based around folklores and how they have shaped the life of these indigenous tribes. These folklores are interesting entertaining and relevant even in these modern times.
