DARJEELING AT A GLANCE


Hi, Friends ……..
Ever been to Darjeeling..The English Peak...well let me take u to a tour of it through this poem...


DARJEELING AT A GLANCE

To Darjeeling (My journey towards the hill station)

The vent full valleys of misty peaks,
Up the track with the swirling winds,
Cruising along the greenish hill,
We reach aloft the English peak.
Sip it up baby!!!(World Famous Tea Gardens)

In the deep garden,
On the ladder of mounts.
The chuski of taste
And fragrance of tea,
Fills the ambience to gladden senses
And blood my veins.

A snowy sight(Gigantic KANCHENJUNGA from Tiger Hill)

Clad with ice coat,
Burnished with deep snow,
Peeking through the shabby cloud,
The Kanchen it looked in north, in sun.

With beauty at feet and toughness in heart
I witnessed a peak so bright and smart,
That it filled my nerves with similes and metaphors,
Fusing in me hunger and lust,
Desiring me to kiss the peak and slap the snow.


Oh!!! What an irony!!!!!(Every day thousands of people gather at tiger hill to hail the rising sun but only a few lucky lots get to witness the natures beauty because of heavy clouds)

At the dong of three,
A hive of crowd swarmed at tiger,
To fight the fog and hail the god.
But as the fate of many,
The cloud wins to defeat the race
To clad the rising plate with its velvet.

Thodi si pet puja (The delicious delicacies of Darjeeling)

In the light of candle,
The sizzling fish to the mocky tail
Adds a glitz to this breezy tale,
Of this glamy hill

A boon to education and films (St. Pauls school where many movies have been shot and ranking 4th in All India Residential Schools)

With wings of god and blessing of Christ,
In the lap of peaks amongst the greenish teaks,
St. Pauls is the school that speaks of films and tops in team.
In my words I say if education is thunder
Then this is the cloud that rains.

Hi to the hosts!!!! ( The Homely People of Darjeeling)

Golden cheeks with crimson glow
Small eyes with curly hair.
Tone of Nepali with a hint of Bengali.
Love in eyes with beauty at heart.
They are the host who make you feel
As home as if you are in the best of peaks.

jagah jo banaye aapko kavi,
chhipata he jis k burfile pahadok pichhe ravi,
naam lete hi dikhti he chai k bagano ki chhavi,

jagah jo sikhaye deshbhakti..,
matrubhakt ban jaye her vyakti,

yaad aate he vo curvy marg,
jo sikhaye sangeetk raag...

sudipto...

Gurudongmar – A literally breathtaking experience

Image
‘One step at a time’, I told myself as I struggled to grip the ice cold railing on the staircase that seemed to be going up forever. The sub-zero breeze was somehow finding its way through my heavily padded nose and ears, making them numb, as I wheezed and puffed with each stair. The sun was in its ascent, sans a few clouds, the sky was bright and blue. The clarity, you can only dream about in Delhi and Mumbai.   The rays bounced off the surface of the water, reflecting its turquoise hue and making it glitter as if millions of diamonds were strewn merrily on the pristine calm partially frozen waters. In a chalice of snow-capped Himalayan range, the glacial water of Gurudongmar Lake is in true sense a drink of God. Even as I struggled to find my breath at the height of 17800 ft. above sea level, my body putting extra efforts to keep the desired oxygen levels in the body in the low pressure -low oxygen surroundings, I pondered at this nature’s exuberance. A small lake, the si

Solitude at Sea

Solitude at Sea A brief  compilation of  the   Non-Stop, Solo , Under Sail  and Unassisted Circumnavigation of the World  by Commander Abhilash Tomy of Indian Navy bas ed on his blog Sagarparikrama 2;  book 151 days at Sea and an interview. Chapter I:  Mountaineering in High Seas The 25-meter-tall  Mas t never looked so ominously towering  before. In an unsteady boat in the middle of th e not so pacific,  S outh Pacific O cean to hoist oneself up the stick without a crew winching you is a task that most sailors  would  avoid. A patch of blue was the only solace in the overcast morning of 11th January 2013.  As he woke up on board a rocking Mhadei,  Commander  Abhilash  Tomy  noticed that the  easy  stow was in an unusual position with one of its holding lines parted and trailing in water. Another look at the mast confirmed that it is going to be one of the most demanding days of his voyage. A voyage he started almost 71 days back from the shores of Mumbai, in an attem
