Will Bryan Adams have the papers in Winter of ’24?
Canadian rock legend Bryan Adams is to perform in Shillong this December, however the banter on social media is about if he will have the right papers.
Users joked about the hurdles the singer might face, like showing a labour license and avoiding an Assam-plated car, in light of the recent turn of events.
One user joked, “Haha, white skin colour and labour licence. I want to see that day in life,” while another added, “Bro, make sure you bring your work permit and Aadhaar card as well. Else you will be sent back from Byrnihat.”
The banter continued with a genuinely worried fan asking if Adams had received his travel advisory, while another sarcastically noted, “No ILP, No Bryan Adams.”
One commenter remarked, “No entry in Meghalaya without a singer’s license. For all we know he might be stealing employment from local Bryan Adams.”
The comments kept rolling in, but one laughed the loudest when imagining Adams singing, “Let’s make it a night to remember,” and someone shouting back, “We want ILP, otherwise this will indeed be a night to remember.”
The curiosity has set in as to how the actual turn of events will be, and to cap it all, this is to inform the legend, “Hey Bryan, when you indeed ‘Run to You (Shillong),’ do not forget your papers.”

Laitumkhrah’s Singing Flower Lady
If you’ve wandered through the streets of Laitumkhrah, you’ve surely encountered her – the spirited flower seller with a song in her heart. For over 20 years, this cheerful florist has been brightening our days with her eclectic mix of blooms and occasional tunes. Forget fancy florists; we’ve got our very own botanical bard, and she’s powered by passion, petals, and the occasional serenade.
Meet Mrs. Laitumkhrah (her real name remains a delightful mystery). She’s a one-woman show, selling the most random and beautiful wildflowers you’ve ever seen. If it grows in the wild, it’s likely found a home in one of her bouquets. Every now and then, she’ll break into a song, her voice a charming addition to the market’s hum.
Her presence is a constant in Laitumkhrah, as integral to the area as the traffic jams and inevitable power cuts. Occasionally, her songs drift through the air, adding a unique flavor to the market’s soundscape.
