Experiential travel stories from India and 31 other countries!

Spirit of youthfulness will rock the city of SHILLONG!

The beautiful and serene hillock, Shillong is all set to rock in two days. Mind Rocks 2013 is back before the end of the year in Shillong on 23rd December 2013.

What is Mind Rocks? My old readers know it, because in September this year, I went all ga ga over it. It is an eventful theme, a unique concept, an initiative taken by India Today Group, through which it offers the young crowd an entertaining and engaging all day rocking event. A grand guest list of celebrities is invited from the expanse of the country to perform, talk and inspire the youth of the country over brainstorming sessions.

I got a chance to attend it three months back in New Delhi and as per my first hand account, I must say it sizzled absolutely. I found the concept of the show very youthful and liberating in nature and thats the USP of it. When I had returned from the show, I had felt awed, inspired and motivated to take on the world through my passion.

A Day To Remember @MindRocks 2013, New Delhi

The annual flagship event, India Today Youth Summit is sincerely designed for inspiring the youngsters of our country. In this platform, which is one of its kinds the celebrity guests range from politics, economy, sports, literature, music and films. They are invited to talk their mind and heart over informal and interactive sessions. They discuss about their live, their career and the things that they are passionate about.And I must say quite many of them do talk intelligent and sensible. The zeal in them shows and they do convince you well that why they are able to pull a crowd. 

Mindrocks Shillong is being held at the newly- built State Convention Centre. It is being sponsored by Meghalaya Tourism. I am sure the students and young brigade of Shillong will have a great time. In Delhi, Mind Rocks was phenomenal. And I am glad to share the key speakers for the event to be. I am sure the list below will not let you rest until you have registered for the event.
