Nepal boys won Governor's Gold Cup but Army wins heart

BY SHITAL PRADHAN FROM PALZOR STADIUM

Gangtok: Expected to be the best match of the event the finals at the 30th All India Governor's Gold Cup was not as interesting as it would had been. Nepal's Three Star club won by a solitary goal when the play was 20 minute remaining. The first half of the game went goal less and dominated by the Army Eleven.But luck along with prayers of the entire spectators played more to Nepal boys. Twice in the game the ball kicked by the Army player hit the goal post denying them moments of joy.

Kiran Chamjang

There were many times when Army team solely dominated the game but towards the end one single chance and Nepal team grabbed the opportunity. Entire stadium wanted Nepal to win but the irony of all the Army team won the heart of entire stadium. Kishore Rai, jersey no. 9 scored the winning goal. Admist the slackly first half by the winning team and the little better second half it was the goalie Kiran Chamjang the hero of the match. It was Kiran Chamjang's performance behind the bar that helped his team reduced to goalless in the entire game. The goalie was also adjudged the best goalie of the tourney.

Sikkim Mahinda Thero: A national hero of Sri Lanka

Sikkim Mahinda Thero BY SHITAL PRADHAN I first heard about S Mahinda Thero in 2005 while in Kolkata when I was asked by one of the stamp dealers whether I was interested in a 20 paisa stamp of S Mahinda Thero issued by the Sri Lankan Postal Department in the early 1970s. I collected philatelic items on Buddhism, but I never understood who he was talking about. He told me, as I was from Sikkim, I might be interested to know more about the person, and he went on to add it was Sikkim Mahinda Thero, a Buddhist monk who is regarded as a national hero, a famous poet in the Sinhalese language whose poetry promoted patriotism and the revival of Buddhism to this part of the Island. He promised to send me the stamp of S Mahinda Thero from Colombo through the mail, but I have never heard from him since then. However, regarding my limited concern, it was enough to know that such a person keeps the name Sikkim with honor and pride in Sri Lanka. I had the name...
