Added to its Glory in Shillong
It is not wrong to say that in the year end Christmas 2017, the century year old Cedar tree has attracted more spectators than the other seasons. The 143 year old tree stands strong on the premises of the All Saints’ Cathedral. It was planted to mark the beginning of the church on 22 nd August 1874 by the then Viceroy of India, Lord North Brook. The foundation however, collapsed in the Assam earthquake on 12 th June 1897 but the magnificent tree survived along with few religious items which are preserved in the Cathedral. It is one of the rarest trees in the state.

RECALLING - THE MAN OF GREAT VIRTUES P.A.SANGMA
As September approaches there begins a change in Delhi, morning becomes cooler, midday sun a bit friendly, humidity too pretends to be packing off and a sense of an all-pervasive thermal comfortability becomes visible outdoors. I still remember P A Sangma was born on 1st September 1947and the remembrance takes me to look back and a montages of memories come crowding in: some events are still clear while some got blurred, perhaps the inner flash is partly diffused.
