We deliver to you a short stale recap of 2016 in Meghalaya through the fiery humoured lenses of Shillong FTW, a Facebook page, which has managed to grab people by their pretentious asses through their brilliant memes and turn a mirror to Shillong’s ugly, ever aspiring “buromness”. This page has taken over social media in a huge way this past year and has become one of the most forceful critics of the pathetic double-standards of Meghalaya. Shillong FTW’s sharp observations have interestingly captured the mundane, yet thriving nuances of the everyday in Meghalaya and more so, Shillong, resulting in a witty and intelligent political commentary on the political, social and cultural dynamics of the state. Shillong FTW has appropriated the tools of internet memes and localized the content and made this form of pop culture a sweet weapon against various systemic problems and making all of us readers laugh at our own ridiculousness and hypocrisies.
