The thick white smokey lines that were observed on different part of Sikkim last November again reappeared today. The unidentified smokey lines passed through the heart of the Singtam bazaar to the other side of the hill was witnessed by large crowds at around 7.37 am this morning. Shekher Pradhan who took the photographs told that the object did not have any sound and could not be identified whether it was fighter plane or not. He added the object had its white smokes following a path and it took a little over 5 minutes to cross the Singtam sky.

Miscellaneous: World's first full-face replant operation


The world's first full-face replant operation was on nine year-old Sandeep Kaur, whose face was ripped off when her hair was caught in a thresher. Sandeep's mother witnessed the accident. Sandeep arrived at the hospital unconscious with her face in two pieces in a plastic bag. An article in the The Guardian recounts: "In 1994, a nine-year-old child in northern India lost her face and scalp in a threshing machine accident.

Miscellaneous: There is something going on in Sikkim’s skies!!!!


The interesting thing is that the two photographs of the objects seem different from one another. If one photographs show a thick white straight smoky lines that vanished into the sky, the other photograph from Sombaria show some spherical objects hanging on space.

Miscellaneous: Photographs of cloudy lines left by celestial object at Singtam (Nov 23, 2009)


The above photograph had been clicked by Prashant Pandey on the noon of November 23, 2009 from his house terrace at Singtam. Though the cloudy lines left by celestial object can be faintly noticed ( in between the two red lines ), such rare occurrence was never heard in this part of Sikkim. In the last few days some strange show ups at sky had been reported in different parts of Sikkim that includes places from Namthang, Ravangla and the sighting of five UFO like objects at Sombaria on November 26, 2009.

LetsDiscuss: 10,000 pigeon's death at Singtam is a false report


I was going through the internet news about the diseased death of 10,000 pigeons at Singtam which is not at all correct. So far no exact data had been collected but as i had been following the death of these birds, according to me the death of these pigeons are below 4000. The mysterious death of the pigeons at Singtam Bazaar had started since early May and over the month the death of these avian had not stopped. Each day around 30-40 pigeons die.

LetsDiscuss: Sikkim Philately at a glance-1


Very little is known about the postal history of Sikkim. Though post offices in Sikkim started in 1888 in Dulapchin (now Dalapchand), near Rongli and meager information has been established so far. For a stamp sized state of Sikkim, 6th November 2006 hold a moment of glory and recognisation in terms of world philately. Indian Postage featured a postal stamp on Changu Lake in a group of five lakes from different part of India. The Changu Lake stamp with Rs 5 denomination features among the five Himalayan Lakes of India that include Roop Kund, Sela, Tsomo Riri and Chandra Tal.

LetsDiscuss: What Should be Min. Edn Quali. for Legislators of Sikkim

There is a wonderful forum for the people of Sikkim, by the people of Sikkim and off the people, places of Sikkim. The forum is called Sikkimonline.info and we do share our thought about our Sikkim in it. There was one thread where we tried to sought out what could be the minimum qualifications required for the posts of Sikkim State Assembly. I do feel politics these days have become a profession rather than those old days social service serving to the people.

Miscellaneous: May 27, 2000: The Darkest day of my life


I had come across several ups and downs in my small life but to me my darkest hour still has to be the 27th May, 2000. How could I forget that day that shattered me and my life turned out to nowhere? Today though I did fight with the odds and came out winner but still I have that day, a darkest dot in my life. I would like to make my readers believe me that I had RW during my B.Sc examination. I never knew that RW meant ‘Result With-held’, until I saw my remarks along the graduation part 2 result posted at the notice board of Sikkim Government College.

Health: Will my vote count.......


Last week I was at Gangtok to watch Rahul Gandhi and among those people whom I met across my ways was surprised to see me what was I doing there in Opposition party’s meeting. Do I not have those rights to go and watch opposition leaders be it Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi or shall I have to fear if Manmohan Singh, the Prime Minister of Indian comes to Sikkim.
