Hq Dgar Shillong

Living and working up here at Hq Dgar in Shillong is something else. It’s not like a regular office in a city. Everything is a bit more spread out, and you’re surrounded by all this greenery and the hills. The weather changes every five minutes, so we’re always carrying sweaters or umbrellas just in case. Our days usually start pretty early because that’s just the way things are done here. It’s a big place, and you end up walking a lot just to get from one section to another. The air is fresh, but the dampness from the clouds can get into everything if you aren't careful. We spend most of our time dealing with administrative stuff, lots of lists and records that need to be kept straight. It’s a lot of routine, but there’s a certain rhythm to it that you get used to after a while. Most of us have been here long enough that we don't even notice the steep walks anymore. The canteen is where everyone catches up, usually over a hot cup of tea when it’s raining outside, which is often. It’s a quiet sort of life compared to the plains, but there’s always something that needs fixing or checking. We don’t have fancy city amenities nearby, but the peace makes up for it. It’s just a group of people keeping the wheels turning in this corner of the Northeast and making sure the daily tasks get finished.
