Shopping in Ïewduh Shillong Meghalaya 

Loofahs are crop plants. They grow in vines like cucumber or squash. They are edibles just like cucumber or pumpkin. Only young ones can be eaten. It contains fiber which helps in digestion. It can be prepared just like any other vegetables like making soup. It is tasty. Mature loofahs are used as scrubbing sponges. You can find people selling loofahs with covering. This right here is already peeled off. Try it!! 🙌😄

Using KHOH is example of eco-friendly not embarresment Well done DC traveller

Your love for Shillong is clearly visible through your efforts of learning the language to culture.

You're a real tourist who explore more about the tradition and custom of the people. Hats off to Tourist like you. We warmthly enjoy your videos

Literally northeast India is the real definition of natural beauty... Beautiful market so many interesting fruits & veges,, sending lots of love from Nagaland 🤩

Most of people are travel in meghalaya, shillong bro, but I can't see to carry A Khoh like you.... all the best👍👍 bro......

thank you bro for showing this generation not to feel weird of carrying a khoh whether it be in a city or any place that could be while it's in Meghalaya(where khoh was found). yeah I agreed it looks truly unique n beautiful n I hope our cultural handmade material stay still as long as we're alive 🤞🏼😍

Thankyou so much for waking up the sense of culture to the local people by carrying a khoh in which 99 percent has forgotten about this traditional khoh.

Shillong is probably the only place in India where you can talk to all the locals in English

My mother taught me that you will never get lost in iewduh. There is always a way out, even in the smallest nook or lane. Also, it's so nice to see you carrying a khoh. We don't see that anymore in Shillong. Hope you had a great stay and an amazing experience.🙌

Iewduh is like a maze.Anyone here for the first time alone would definitely get lost.Finally mastered my way inside this market growing up and doing my weekly marketing here.Although it is dirty especially during the rains but somehow “Iewduh “has its charm.Wonderful to see you carrying your”Khoh” in Iewduh Darshan 😊

I like seeing you with the khoh..where most people are feeling shy to carry it nowadays... looks like you have brought revival in it....continue to explore more in Meghalaya...God bless you 🙏🙏👍👍

Nice to see you again in Meghalaya interesting vlog beautiful 👍👍👌👌

Welcome DC traveller you got a correct count great...👍👍

I must say your vlogs keeps getting better and better - so glad to have a glimpse of your day here in Shillong. After a long wait of knowing that you'll be posting about shillong 🤭and here it is I got so excited when I saw the notification and that to its a shopping vlog in iewduh 😅. The only thing running throught my mind while watching the video was - how is he able to walk around iewduh with a khoh and not get pushed,stuck in a place because of the crowd, stepped on the foot by someone else or even whistled by the men carrying the boxes to make way for them to pass , but anyway it was fun to watch and seriously waiting for the next vlog which I'm guessing is the khasi market for second hand clothes 🤭🤭 okay now I think this comment is too long 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣but yes eagerly waiting for the upcoming vlog . And I have to say for a man from the city adapting himself in a small town and that too in the North East Meghalaya, hats off to you for not complaining but living it in the best way and enjoying every detail about our state so thankyou so much for showing love and respect to my hometown🥰🤗

My wife is a big fan of yours sometimes it makes me jealous but then you've got a personality that can't be neglected we shillongites love you keep up the good work brother 👍❤️❤️...

Nice! keep it up...

That natural body scrubber is a tori or ridge gourd vegetable but when its fully ripen they dry it and remove its skin.

Khoh seems strong and useful for many ways. One may need skills and great patience to make a Khoh. It was nice that you carried it comfortably in crowed and narrow paths in market but i hardly saw people still carrying Khoh. It's good to learn about Khoh from your video.

Nice to see you again in shillong especially with a Khoh 👍👍 👍.

Now that you're living in Shillong I hope we'll get more shillong vlogs🤞 and also i love the bloopers😁😁

Most of your vlog will be incomplete without a word mentioning about a khoh , which i like listening to it.Great you are such a good man .

Wow back to the nature again nice

Thanks for the bara bazar video.. use to go there with mom for shopping when I was kid There was a restaurant called iewduh there pork chow was my all time fav.. if you visit that place again plz try to find that restaurant.. it's been almost 23 years since I left Shillong . I am in the US now . Once again thanks for the nostalgic video of bara bazar

Can't wait to see you going to khasi market(underground market)in your next vlog . Enjoyed yr video a lot.

Thank you so much brother for loving Khasi traditional

Thanku so much for showing us around Shillong market 👍

Its really enjoying to watch you Dc carrying that khoh inside the Iewduh and buying the traditional items from the local market

I'm now inspired by you 🤣 And I'll start carrying a khoh yea It do looks really cool 🙌🏻😂

I lived in Shillong 35 years ago.Nothing much has changed in Iewduh.My office was nearby.There was a wonderful Chinese restaurant there.Ming Room. I think you visited too late as I think the owner migrated. Nice Blog.

We used to see it in kerala. Its a fruit of a plant once it gets dry, u pluck n remove the seed and skin then it's ready for use. We call it peera.

Nice khohshot n keep it up👍👌

Sohprew is one kind of plant which is planted in the paddy field or else we can also take out the seeds and just on the ground and it will come out it's plant. And the one which has been sold in the market is a dried one and also called brash for using while taking a bath . Otherwise undried one are using for eating.

I am already impressed with your khasi language 😍

That is a natural scrubber(creeper/climber), its not make but grown, when its ripe we pluck it from the tree it creeps and peel off its skin. Its not rocket science 😁😁😁

And some days, you just start your day with DC Traveller.. 😄 Embarked on a journey to Meghalaya this time..Really looking forward to another amazing adventure! And also..waiting for the big reveal in this series which you mentioned about in your video chat with Raghu 😃 #khohisastylestatement

Nice video DC and i like watching all your videos

U learned so fast about everything regarding Meghalaya.. this natural loofah is available in Missy land in her village

The girl where you buy that tungrymbai is so cute n beautiful 😁

the small basket u buy is called shangkwai(Shang means basket )

Thanks you bro for your vlog I really enjoy it.

Well Mr DC Traveller the first purchase you made is called as 'Sohprew' in Khasi and widely known as 'loofah', so that actually comes out from a kind of vegetable like a gourd, where the tender or green Sohprew is used for cooking as a vegetable, and if left for longer times till it turn yellow and dry, naturally that scrubber look form and can be harvested to use as a 'Sohprew' for bathing purpose.

That natural scrubber is called sponge gourd a vegetable when it turns in dry stage it looks this

Again ur back very nice to see u again in meghalaya

Love from ladakh.. Amazing 👏 🙀 😯

loved it. I remember using that natural brush to wash our bodies. It will give you a nice foam with little soap. We also used it to wash our utensils.

You’re amazing 🤩 hello I’m your new subscriber 😍 and also your big fan❤❤

It isn't made. It's a dried up part of a kind of gourd. In the raw form it is edible, a sort of lauki. When it dries up, the skin hardens and the inner part is the soft part inside. The hardened skin is peeled out and the 'loofah' is ready, naturally, The floor brush is also used to scrub stubborn dirt on clothes. It is made from the root of the bamboo.

You have to bargain in iewduh😅

We used to buy masala and turmeric from this shop.... And it is a very good product🙂

Welcome back bro✌🏻

Be vocal for local thanks bro

Always enjoyed watching your videos you know the numbers quite well now in khasi that's great and your looking good carrying a khoh 😊

His name is Khot Bahduh BTW-Khot mean - called Bahduh is his name

Khotbahduh is back ✊

Hi DC been to these markets in younger days, those years I hunted for audio cassettes, Chinese kungfu shoes, fountain pens, tip point pens, calculator, watches, etc, japanese audio cassette player or two-in-one Panasonic, and many more items, which are no longer available after opening of economy of the country, now found in free markets and shops, but japanese two-in-one Panasonic can never be found these days perhaps, they are no longer manufacturing these items. Now you are a khasi mama khasi bah, you've picked a lot and beginning to look like one of them. I'm your avid vlogr followr. Keep up friend. Old city buses no longer in service on city roads, the one with pipes.

Good👍 khoh u star kit shamet

Khu came from the word kyrkhu mean bless and blei means gods means Godbless.

Keep it up bro we do support your vedio

It is a type of natural fruit that we can eat also cooked like vegetables in khasi name sohprew

That soh prew that use for bath it is not handmade it is a vegetable that we use to eat. With that vegetable we just keep it till it become hard and then we will peel out its hard skin and we will get that for bath.

Rebaptizing Bah as Khot Bahduh😄😄 100 bucks for a khoh is too cheap considering the labour and the crafting skills involved!!!
