Shillong in the 1990's - images of change in the Scotland of the east
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 авг 2024
- Hindustan Ambassador and Fiat Premier Padmini cars still predominate the streets of shillong back in the 1980's!
Shillong is aptly called the Scotland of the East, for its scenic beauty and beautiful slanting roof houses tightly packed 4,908 feet (1,496 m) above sea level. In 2016, Meghalaya was voted "India's Favourite Hill Station" by HolidayIQ.
The Cathedral of Mary Help of Christians still stands strong in the heart of the capital although the church got destroyed in a fire in 1936. This cathedral falls under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Shillong, which administers similar churches in Meghalaya's Khasi and Jaintia hills.
The jacaranda trees are seen in full bloom. It is heavenly to behold when this purple layer of Jacaranda flowers covers the car tops, paths, lawns, footpaths, and roads of Meghalaya. Some young women are also seen walking down the road wearing kurta with popular Chinese pop hair cut which is now back.
Taxis in Shillong were mostly Ambassador cars, Tata Sumo in the early 80s and 90s. These local taxis are now defunct. Omni vans and Maruti 800 were also popular cars.

I was there in Shillong during 90s. Thank you for the video. Damn I miss this place so much. Left Shillong in 2001, now in the US. Everyday I search for Shillong videos on RUclips lol . Thank u for this wonderful video.. if you have more videos from that era plz upload
Take me to US😀
@@jangmarcelino7258 it's not like going to Guwahati from Shillong lol
You can watch so many indian Vlogs showing shillong.
@@Bedroom_Musician I have watched each and every videos of Shillong till date
@@jangmarcelino7258rather than going to US go to like Japan or something. Much safer, cleaner and not so expensive. People are also decent and disciplined, the same cannot be said for the vast majority of USA
5:20 Bawri Mansion, Dhanketi. Those good old days when my father used to drive us through shillong towards silchar on our Maruti 800 back in 99. I remember picking and collecting the pine cones, stopping by the woods to take a stroll or accompanying my parents to Bara Bazaar to shop for fresh veggies. Listening to "As long as you love me" by BSB, watching the then 20 year olds wearing black jackets and riding rx100s and wishing to grow up soon. Ah god if i had just stayed young.
It's Iewduh, who in the hell told you that it is called Bara Bazaar?
If u stayed young then how can u remember that moment 😃
You're an immigrant staying here not a local. And its iewduh. Ka kharjot
@@brihynniewtrephynniewskumh2698 seriously how come a fellow country men be an immigrant.
@@Keniz99 we in northeast are not indians. We have our own identity. We were annexed by india but most of our people are forgetting it so im spreading the message
Wish we could turn back times and get to live those days ...may be those days were golden days♥️
Thanks for watching Romila. If all of us do keep trying together, perhaps we can make a difference.
Actually, it wasnt that the times were golden on those days. Its just that on those days, you were young as a kid and were free from all the worldly tension as an adult.
Gone is gne never to return
When our mama sang us to sleepbut now were stressed out
Whoever took these beautiful moments.. thank you madam or sir....👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!

😭 Damn! I want to go back to the 90s. Shillong was so peaceful compared to now. Thanks for the memories.
peaceful aiu leh ne por dang khlaiñ bha ki 4 dak ruh😂
Thank you for the video,I remember the roads were spacious and you could literally drive your car in 3rd or 4th gear around laitmukhrah as traffic was sparse.I also noticed the owner of Akashi book depot walking back towards his shop.I wonder if he is still there.I visited India recently (after early 2000) and spent some time in Shillong-It has changed in volumes especially the population and air pollution (too many cars).Old was truly Gold!
Sumit Lanong It gets really warm in summers nowadays. Sigh
He closed the shop and he stay in laitumkhrah nongrimbah now but the shop remain empty
I was born in Shillong in 1960 and studied in St. Edmund's from which I passed out(did not faint or pass away)in 1976. Love the Shillong of old. Used to have cheap balieh kiad(white stuff) worth 5 bucks for shiteng(bilor) with beef(doh masi)fry at Hills restaurent in Laitumkhrah. Those were the days.
Hehehe
I had no idea that studying and passing from St. Edmund's makes someone end up in cheap bali kiad (white stuff) worth 5 bucks😂😂😂
Lmao 💀
@@blakemarb5617 😂😂😂👍
Naughty boy
Wow, just love the footage capturing the vintage blue bus, ambassador car, fiat and all. Amazing...👌👌👌
Was smiling the whole time watching this gem of the past... What wouldn't I give to go back and live a day as a kid... No traffic... Softer sun... Sparrows everywhere... And time went soooo slow... I was hoping I'd see myself as a 10 Yr old kiddo sporting my Edmunds colors.. Thank you for this
What would we all give indeed for those days back in Darjeeling or Shillong of the past!

Some more blasts from the more recent past, perhaps? See: ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=meghalaya+wildfilmsindia
It looked exactly like what I remembered growing up in the 90's. Now it's heavily populated, polluted & corrupted. Thank you for uploading this video!
it melt my heart. It was so clean and silent unlike the present days
Keep shillong proud for it's beauty and never forget those who help for it's development in field of education , culture, and prospect
I remember my childhood days.. iam born and spent my childhood days in Shillong... Miss those days
Aahhhhh remember the old Shillong... laidback, traffic-less, cleaner Shillong. Nostalgia 😃
Just love to watch my city was so clean and fresh and the ambassador taxi was so clean and tidy..thank you for sharing the video of the 90s
Back in the day where there was no traffic at all 😅
That blue bus is a legend, I use to see it daily.....😅 Anyway it's a great vedio👍👌
Sad to say that nothing much has changed. Just new buildings and new cars but no serious developments. The rustic theme is starting to work in favour of a govt. That under performs
Really it like now only
Namr la bun palt ki dkhar
Its good that shillong has change yet or else it will be like Mumbai Delhi and other dirty states
@@kokoyansui3339 haven't those states development more than Shillong
@@kokoyansui3339it's getting more dirty and overcrowded with barely any improvement
I love Shillong that I was use to see and hear and feel. Time flies. You just never know what will happen next. Those were the days that you will never forget.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Truly eye catching, I am so amazed of the beauty now in my generation all I see here is overcrowding and pollution
Wow..i m getting nostalgic now...watching my School as an Anthonian....those Golden days. Wish I had a time machine...!!! Miss you Shillong❤❤❤
My family took me to my first Shillong trip in the late 90's. I was probably three or four. I dont remember much, just that , the experience was pleasant.
Same here. I am 32 now!
Shillong - Scotland of the east was my birthplace
Feeling very nostalgic.....wish time machine was real and I could go back to the then years....!
When ambassador cabs ruled the streets .😊
I wished those days can come back now i can only recall memories 😔😔
Lots of Love from UP❤️Shillong is a beautiful place with beautiful Tribe 😍
This goes to show that a video you take today can turn into a gem of a piece in the future
Always and ever Shillong will be my favourite of my life
Dame shillong was so so clean back then but now shillong is not clean anymore it is a mess 😢😢
This just goes to show that we had less development in terms of the infrastructure and the roads we had back then are the same now, we have a beautiful state, sad to say it's not planned, had it been that way, we could've made it more beautiful😢
Some officially declared advanced tribe towns in Nagaland have not yet reached even a quarter level of what Shillong was in the 90's in terms of development and infrastructure. Let's say ....it's been more than 2 decades now.
There are so many young people from Nagaland here in Shillong. Generally they are really bad in studies. They are really into fashion and partying. Not saying it's bad to have fun but it seems most of them are here just to have fun.
@@drcook7434 haha 😂 I won’t deny a bit on that . I also studied in ghy and here also same . but guess what the good ones are also everywhere too and they dont make noise so we don’t hear them. But who want’s to be topper anyway ,a 1st class degree is enuf for me 🤣 just my op.
Our outgoing nature invites a lot of attention anyway 👍🏻
Thank you for uploading videos like these about our hometown.
Love that calmness.... you can't trade it with anything else ♥️
Watching this video bring peace to my mind which has been so affected by the daily traffic jams of the present day.
Wow nostalgic memories..i remember i was in class 5 by then..i miss those simple days..
Less cars no traffic jam, no congestion. City buses and Ambassador taxis plying in the street. I remember that time i am a school student studying in class 6 at pynthorumkhrah school. Green field of Golflink is very clean and free from plastics and dumping garbage...but now shillong has lost it's natural beauty and development is only new buildings and new cars. I want to give a lot of thank to this fellow who make this video.
In 90s, india was so beautiful.
Thanks to liberalisation in the 90's everything got destroyed.
Miss my hometown, my life during the 80s and 90s... miss those old charm of shillong and the memories
Dhanketi looks so wierd without the bridge 😂
Very silence no traffic jam nice looking

When Shillong was Shillong - Simplicity back then in the days - 80s, 90s & 2000s.
Wowww.. got all teary after watching this ^_^ Beautiful. Life was much calmer back then. And yes no traffic :D
I was in my Kindergarten in late 80s when I first visited Shillong with my family and stayed in Tourist Lodge (it's no more there now) near Assam House. There were very less taxis, less people. Well, people walked alot until mid 2000s, and the climate much colder and air fresher. At least I remember this as a 5 year old then.
From 2007 or so, Guwahati changed drastically and Shillong from 2014-2015 but it's still gradual.
Since my child days I have seen trafic jam in Shillong what you are saying
@@nilotpalbhattacharjee3896 when were you born? And which year are you narrating of seeing traffic jam?
@@bluemoonerheart5316 80s and 90s
@@nilotpalbhattacharjee3896 great. Whenever I visited Shillong in the 80s, I never saw traffic jam like today though. 😊
@@bluemoonerheart5316 you are lucky to se no traffic jam or you might be there during the khasis starts fighting against non khasis and govt declared curfew .
I can see my brother... That small boy blue colour sweater running ... Thats awsome video.. Even my dad shop near Aakshi book depot small stationery shop... Still there
That Shillong 1990's that will never come back to us
The old days are way more peaceful........ compare to today....
Indeed. We must save our north-eastern hill state capitals lest they go the way of our western Himalayan hill stations!

Road size is exactly same but number of vehicles are exponentially large now. SAD
Takes me back to those beautiful times with lots of friends not fb friends, lots of time to sing, giggle, visit friends and relatives, travel by bus, etc... pcos, landline, doordarshan, ambassador, local radio programs, Christmas carols right from November, Christmas tree and yes, Christmas cards, etc... etc... Good ol days, golden days and memories... I'd give anything just to get one day to experience again those good old 90s.
Shillong has changed so much! Now it’s bumper to bumper traffic and definitely not as pristine as it definitely was anymore.
Even in 90s , traffic jam was greatest problem of Shillong ,we use to walk from Jinking to St. Anthony college due to traffic jam .
It was a charming hill town with more charming Khasi people.
Its late 90s or early 2000s since maruti taxi are visible
Absolutely right because Tata sumos are seen and even Mahindra max also
Thank you for the video. you remind me my school days..
I was Lucky to spend my childhood there among such Beautiful mountains
Nostalgic... Good old days
Shillong was so clean like a foreign countries 🥺
how can I forget those days
Wow back then no traffic jam, Bus dieng, Ambassador, Fiat classic peaceful 😍
Then also greatest problem of Shillong was Traffic jam .
The only things that haven't changed are the position of the foot-paths 😁😁😁
Thank you for the video.. i would love to go back
The 90's rock... Love the video...
Wow childhood memories ❤️❤️❤️
Number of cars has increased and ambassador cars are not seen anymore
May I know the level of pollution there in shillong in comparison to other capital cities of other states, as I am going to settle there, may be by sept. 2020 in my opinion due to rains all the time there won't be much pollution.
@Suman Sarkar no, actually i am going to join as a govt. employee in meghalaya may be by sept. next year in that case I won't be an outsider any more. What about pollution level ?
@@yashmakhija8888 Pollution level is Great at minimal level.
The rain is constantly washing the city clean.
So , It is still the Finest and awesome place to Stay.
But The Traffic is Crazy on normal days( Before Covid)
it would be advice to stay near your work place .
And if you do stay in Shillong,
Please throw your garbage in the Dustbin.
This is not Delhi or Mumbai . And
If you dont follow rules , you will run out of Luck.
Nice to know
And it's September already,
Did you get to Shillong ?
Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏...
At first I thought it was just a filtered video of the present Shillong... But then I saw ambassadors and good old Bus Smit 😂. Not much has changed though since then.
At 3:52 you can see a Tata Sumo. So this film is around the year 1995-96. I lived in Shillong from 1995-2000. Ahhhh...those were the days.
Till then I was not even born 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
So sad
Same
Thnk u for uploading this video
Good old days.. If only I was young again😊
Thanks for watching Anthony. Stay tuned for many such more videos.
@@WildFilmsIndia M waiting 😊
Tata sumo was not in 80s but mid 90s I remember it came with tcic engine and a gearbox with an eccentric reverse gear
Wow truly eye catching
Year 1973 I passed my metric exam from St Anthony's High School, Shillong in 3rd Division
Damn Miss those days, so less congested, no traffic, less population, n the iconic ambassador car☺️☺️
Beautiful yesterdays..😍
Aha 90s Shillong. good to see my old school building St. Anthony's High School. used to walk those corridors and that season when black-yellow catterpillars would hang down. and the area around Cathedral and Bawri mansion. I remember that book stall very well. and next to it there was a paan, cigarette and toffeee shop. I was in class 4 in 1990. Those blue city buses wah. I left the town in 2008. Not sure how mad the traffic is there now.
Itynnad bad sngewtynnad ha ki por mynshwa ❤🎉😊❤🎉😊❤
I was in shillong studying from 2002-2010 oh how I missed my place of upbringing ✌❤🥰
From Motbung, Kpi dist, Manipur
Por ba la leit kin ym wan phai(days gone by will never return). So nostalgic. How I wish I could go back to those good old days but all I can do now is to just cherish those golden days of peace and traquility
Same thing happened in Nepal sad life🥲
I missed old shillong a lot for its beauty and cleanliness..
Wonderful video !
I'm literally crying 😢😭 . I wish for those days to come back .. !
Tikara Sohlang and those broken ambassadors, no KTMs, no cell phone, no internet, no KFC, no CCD, no pubs... have you lost it
@@goofygoofy6098 I'm guessing you have not known the joy of falling obsessively in love with a pudgy-faced girl with boy cut hair, or the happiness we felt when we finally acquired that coveted landline or Bajaj scooter. Who needed internet when we could connect with real people while queuing up for gas cylinders at three in the morning? The musty smell of fermenting humans still lingers in my nostrils. No fast food franchise or pub will ever match the ambience of the Delhi mistan bhandars and mood-lit bars of yore. What's not to miss about those glorious days?
I still remember sitting in ambassadors
Damn! Look how calm drivers there were those days
Don Bosco square.. my school memories❤️😭
When life was simple and peaceful ( juk sotti ba la leit noh)
Nostalgia overload.
Feel great to be 90 s kids still remember I used to play cricket on mawkhar road when I was still a kid....n we use to roam freely on pb an motphran road like a Boss those were the days we will cherish forever
Love to see old days.
Ambassador was the luxury car those days
I can still see ambassador cab and remember my father having one of these.
So much of beauty those days
Ambassador was the most comfortable car
So much less traffic back then.. now the traffic has increased ten folds. Traffic jam everywhere even in the suburbs of upper Shillong.
Traffic jam problem was there in Shillong even in those days , traffic jam was greatest problem in 90s ,I graduated in 1994 and left Shillong and could not find time to visit Shillong again .But in those days also why we walked from Jinking to Anthony's college ,that was fue to traffic jam .
miss these days
Wow ambassador car is most popular in those days.
