Meghalaya

Debasish Ghosh writes: "This picture was taken in 2008. I had lost my way in Meghalaya while I was trying to reach Cherrapunjee. I reached this forlorn place near the India-Bangladesh border. Even in my confused state of mind I could not resist asking the driver to stop just so I could take this picture. It was around 5.30 pm and it was getting dark. We were both worried yet I spent few minutes standing at the spot stunned by the beauty of that priceless moment.
