Hi everyone,

Planning a Meghalaya trip with my senior citizen parents from 25 June to 1/2 July. We also want to visit the Kamakhya Temple, but since the Ambubachi Festival will be happening around that time, I’m confused whether to visit the temple at the start or end of the trip.

Since it’ll also be peak monsoon season, I wanted honest advice:
Is Meghalaya safe and comfortable for senior citizens during this time?
Which places can we cover without trekking?
Any reliable local driver, guide, or travel agency recommendations?
Approx budget/hotel suggestions for 3 people?

Would really appreciate help from locals or travel agencies. Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I am looking for contacts for tasty homemade fresh food in the Kharadi area. I only need it on weekends, not a monthly subscription or daily tiffin service.

If anyone knows good home cooks or homemade food services, please share their contact details.

Thanks!

There is a new trend I am noticing on matrimony apps, and I truly want to understand it.

I am 23 years old. Yes, I am young, and I am aware of that. I have completed my education, I understand what I want from life, and I want to get married and build a peaceful and loving life. This is also what my family hopes for, and no one is forcing me into this decision.

But when I speak to many men, I keep hearing the same things again and again. They tell me that I am too young, that I should enjoy life more, and that I do not understand relationships because I have never dated. Some even say I am wasting my life or living in a dream world. They assume I will not be able to adjust in marriage.

What confuses me is this. If a girl has had many past relationships, people question her character and ask why she is settling now. But if someone like me has not been in relationships and wants a serious commitment, that is also questioned. Then what is the right way?

I have always wanted a meaningful relationship that leads to marriage. That has always been my intention.

I am not complaining. I just want to understand why this happens so often.
