What comes to your mind when you hear the word "Cherapunji"? If you remember your Geography lessons, you will think of "rainfall". But today I learnt that somewhere in the vicinity of this place, is the world's only bridge made of living roots. These roots are of rubber tree and there are 2 such bridges - one on top of another. One of them is 70 feet long and the other one is 56 feet. They can accommodate 50 people at the same time.

And how do I know this? Well, I went to an exhibition of photos shot in India's northeastern region. Rolling green hills, crystal clear water, serene monasteries and the mountains standing guard through centuries - Robin Sharma would have surely approved of this method of nourishing my soul. :-)
