We are never sure
if this documentary can ever be presented in front of you all or not. But
finally it is done with lots of hardship and masti.We, Sumi, Jharna, Newme,
Adrija, Rajashree and me headed our journey to Shillong with an idea of shooting
for the promo vedio on Shillong tourism which was their part of course excluding
me. I and Sumi are the cunniest ,in the backdrop of our mind a plan
played.Lets make the trip more adventurous by making a documentary.
And in this way the idea came.But the idea
began to fluctuate.Can this be made possible?This question haunted us till we
are in the way to Mawlyynnong.We had a comfortable stay at Jharna’s auntys
house. Her cousin Nipasha helped us a lot from pre production to post
production.She searched the map of Shillong and made us aware that we cant
shoot Cherrapunji and Mawlynnong at the same day because of its diverged route.The
day finally came when we have to conquer our mission.Aunty served us breakfast
and we 7 hired a sumo and went for the shoot.The picturesque beauty in the way
to mawlynnong catched my fancy. I didn’t miss a single chance to click the
photographs.The sumo driver was a bit unhappy with us as we are irritating him
with a stop after every 5 to 10 minutes of our journey.We have a vague idea
that we have to shoot anything and everything.Atleast we can select the best
rushes from the rest.
Finally we
reached Mawlynnong.And we are really attracted by its cleanlness and beauty.We
met a batch of 1970 of IIT Madras,who has deliberately made a plan to visit the
northeast india.We started our shoot in the village with them.The biggest
hardle with us was to communicate with the natives.But that too was also solved
when we got a small boy as guide, who could understand English atleast.By and
by we proceeded and somehow tried to bring u "The Gods own Garden"..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k73wdGtHF0w&feature=share
