Haha Your blog about SHillong and Guwahati is interesting. Glad to read you found something you liked about Shillong. Its a beauitful. And I am glad to say I grew up in the town..
And I agree about Guwahati. True, today there are many flyovers coming up. But Flyovers don't make a place pretty.
Guwahati's not that bad... Yes it's not particularly pretty, yes it's hard to get good backpacker accomodation, but visit during Bihu, and you'll have such a genuinely warm welcome that all other issues fade away.
When I was there, I was never accosted by touts and scam merchants the way I was in Kolkata. I found Assam, including Guwahati, wonderful because of the locals.
