Hi Prabha...welcome to my blog...though I guess u were a bit dissappointed :-) Went to ur blog and read a no. of wonderful short stories. Will comment soon! Hope you keep visiting me.
Gaurav...me surviving somehow. Infact I came back to my old appt for a while as my net connection is still there...and am now logging on from there. From tomm I wont even have this.
Hi Pukuli...prabha here was trying to stay anonymous with a pseudonym and all not giving out much personal info but count resist this....have lived in sikkim for some years ...was at pakyong.....and since i write about contiguous regions...and sikkim features a lot in my descriptions it sounds familiar to you......i know i know i am overtly sentimental ...but i feel a kinship with you maybe its the hills..kanchendzonga beaming down at the blue hills that gradually transform into green ones nearby...
aloo thukpa at roadside vendors (aunty ko dokans).....children with runny noses....the damp weather....nice people (yes i still believe in the theory held on to by the people back home madiseys are bad and paharis are good)......dalda tin flower pots....bhattoos leaning on roadside railings....bad and good things .... i miss the hills.....
OMG Prabha!!!!! This is definielty the most wonderful surprise I've had since a long time. Finally...finally I met some one who knows abt Sikkim, about the hills, Kanchecndzonga, thukpa, bhattoos, madishes and pahadis..:-)...and wat about titaura and momos ??? U know when I read ur comments, I got so excited...my heart was beating so fast! Seriously!! So, I did hit the nail on the head, when I said u feel close to home! The moment u mentioned Dalda tin flower pots and chang I thot so. So were u at St.Xavier's in Pakyong? My grandparents live in Rhenock, so I know Pakyong quite well.
Thanks Prabha....for sharing this with me. I know u wanted to remain anonymous and I really appreciate this gesture of urs. You have made my day! If you want, u can mail me at colourful_life@yahoo.com
Me too wanna join the Sikkim wagon. It was my Dad's first posting. He had'nt met my mom then and I was obviously not born, so don't remember much...ha ha. We were later posted in Shillong (similar to Sikkim or close) then, I remember there was this Kancha who would take me to school on his shoulders...ha ha...I had my first gf there too...I was umm...2 yrs old then...I met her later when I was 19, it was so weird...but that another time.
Now since you asked. Well, I don't even remember her name actually. We used to play together. I was there till I was 4, so we were together 3 years...ha ha. My mom tells me that she was crazy about me and very jealous (like if someone will carry me or something). She was 2 years older than me. We had swings near our house, so we would play there.
There is one more funny incident. Once I went to her house and she had a mundan (Hindu ceremony where all the hair of child is removed from head). My mom forgot to warn me, so I went to her house and as soon as I saw her, I started BAWLLING like crazy. That was my first break-up...ha ha. I ran from her house. I saw her when she was 19 and was she HOT or what. That story is very crazy too but next time...;)
