THE VOICE OF SIKKIM
The dance program was performed by the school students during the 1990 Independence Day at Singtam Mandi Bazaar. The ground is no more here instead a shopping complexion have been erected. In almost 19 years i have forgotten the names of few guys who were dancing then. The two person that really excited me in the photograph was of Sapna Verma and Pem Tshring Bhutia. Thanks to internet, i came across Sapna after more than 18 years this late winter and it was more than pleasure exchanging scraps with her. With Pem Tshring, we studied from Nursery till class xii after which he left for veterinary studies and is vet doctor, now more in a respectable government job.
I still remember this 15th August football match that was held at Bardang. The year was 1989. The match was played for those player under 5'3" even i was measured but i was 2-3 inch more and was not selected but we the school mates did went to watch the match. In the practice session Tashi was given practised as a goal keeper but on that particular match Pem Thsring was made the goal keeper. The result was as expected our school team lost that particular match by nine goal to nil.
And this is Tashi with the haruwa cup.....
The student group had presented their dance performance from Uttam Pradhan’s Nepali debut film “Darpan Chaya”, who was one of the three judges along with Kamal Rai and Pema Tsedun. The three judges did appreciate the performance of Geeta Sharma, the dance choreographer and she was passed on good wishes to for it. Geeta Sharma in her early 20s is an upcoming dancer from Singtam. The other dancers included Sumitra Pradhan, Lakpa Diki Sherpa, Min Chettri, Nisha Pradhan and Ashika Tamang.
Speaking on the occasion, Lakpa Diki Sherpa, the youngest of the six dancers told that it was something that they had not dreamn’t and shall not forget it easily in future. That was echoed by rest of the dancers too. Indira Rizaal, dance instructor and a school teacher added we wanted to help those students expand their vivid interest. Such extracurricular activities were important for the students as well as for teachers after the completion of the second term examinations, to start refresh. The school authority also thanked the Swar Sikkim team for the opportunity to participate in the competition.
