[@junaid42465]

Yet again, another super cool video. Loved it. Plus, you have learned quite a few Khasi words, that's really nice. - The "sword" is called a "Dah". I'm not sure of what's it called in Khasi. - The fruit you had is most probably "Sohphlang". It's a unique fruit of the state of Meghalaya. - The broom plant that you saw, the flower grows into long stick and later it's harvest to make the "Phool" jhadu. - Bay leave is "Tej Patta" use for cooking in most of the cuisines in India. You missed the "shrill" sounding made by the insects while you were approaching the suspension bridge. When there are many of them together, it sound as if multiple bells are ringing. Come on, Darshan you are doing a great job and have one of the most beautiful way of vlogging. However, one suggestion, you might check some local music/any soothing music as your background score. The music that you use, at times feels a little repeatitive. What happens is most of the time the music starts, it starts from the beginning again. you might as well take a longer piece and let it continue or use different peices of music.

[@kyakaruvlogs2784]

The sword is called a wait. And the fruit is called a sohkwai. Sohphlang is a root, not fruit.

[@DCTravelerExperience]

Thank you for another great comment. I appreciate your suggestion on the music. Repetitiveness is intentional-it creates strong association of the tracks to this series! I wish the tracks were longer though 🙂

[@junaid42465]

@@kyakaruvlogs2784 Oh, thank you for the correcttion. Some of my relatives use to call it as Sohphlang. That's the problem with we assamese people. specially who stayed in Shillong for a few years. Me including, we never made any effort to learn Khasi. Now, I'm really jealous of Darshan. I also had a few Khasi and Jaintia classmates, but compulsory English in the school spoilt it all. This time, I'm home and visit Shillong, I'll definitely make an effort.

[@junaid42465]

@@DCTravelerExperience Yes, you are right the track is definitely associative with you now. Anyone who has watched your vlogs would recognises it right away. Yep, definitely a longer score would have helped.
