ahhhh. That does bring back good memories. But I am afraid that entire corner was demolished quite some time ago, in the 80s in fact. MBD then shifted to a half build concrete shell in GS road, and the shop wasn't the same anymore.
there was an MBD in the neighbourhood of our college in Delhi - also mentioned clearly was that it was a branch of the MBD in Guwahati and Shillong. Brought a little bit of cheer to a then very home sick boy.

Subject: Re: [Assam] Top Ten bestsellers from the NorthEast
Any one knows whether the one in Shillong still stands
at the Police Bazar corner? This was the haunt for
many afternoons reading up 10 to 15 cowboy and war
comics and then only deciding to buy one, if at all.
