00:15a range of acclaimed voices from international writers to leading regional authors.

00:38I am really excited to be here at the Shillong Literary Festival of 2025.
00:44This is the third year I have been coming here and I am expecting great authors and creative
00:50writers to come forward to listen to them and to have a marvellous experience of the Literary
00:56Fest.
00:57And apart from that, the vibe is wonderful, Shillong is always wonderful, Shillong is always
01:02full of fun.
01:03I think the different kind of options, just hanging out on the grass or going to the stands,
01:10getting coffee and food and that kind of thing, so it's really a lot going on, so that's awesome.
01:17The Shillong Literary Festival, which began on November 20th, wraps up on Saturday after
