Samten Bhutia comes with a nepali film "Letter"







With the promo and the posters of the latest Nepali film "Letter", I am sure the filmmaking in Sikkim is going to have a major change in approach. This Nepali film about the mental disease called "split personality"  with a flavor of suspense and mystery is all about to be released. 

Uttam Pradhan and Bishal Chamling is the lead actor while Annie Zimba will be making her film debut. The film is directed by Samten Bhutia who also has penned the story and its screenplay. It is to be noted that Samten Bhutia had earlier acted in the short English film Myth, made in Sikkim.

Shovayatra at Singtam (2010)



An UFO behind an aeroplane photographed at Delhi on October 7th, 2010

You can see the black spot at the tail of the aeroplane

I recently had a Delhi tour and clicked many photographs of the places and one thing that wondered me the most was the frequent movement of aeroplanes in and around the sky. I had taken many random shots of the aeroplanes and while checking out every photograph to my surprise in one of the photographs I came across an object hanging in the sky just to the tail of an aeroplane. 

I do not know what was that so I tried many things like increasing and decreasing the colour, and the brightness of the photograph and I could faintly see some circular object. Is that UFO? The photograph was clicked on October 7, 2010, from the terrace of a building at Vasant Kunj at around 10 am in the morning.

This is the increased and darkened photograph of the backside of the aeroplane

Iskcon Temple Delhi







Delhi Iskcon Temple built by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) is a marvelous place to be with. Initiated by Acharya Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, ISCKON is a society that belongs to Hare Rama Hare Krishna cult. The original name of this temple is Sri Radha-Parthasarthy Temple. Being made by the ISCKON, the temple is popular by the name of Isckon Temple.

Delhi's Red Fort had a charm of old Mughal world.

Lahore Gate
I was at Red Fort after almost 14 years. This was the only place I had been on my Delhi tour in 1996. The small bazaar inside the Red Fort mesmerized me to the old Mughal world. Inside there was a museum that i do have a faint memory of from my last visit and the Mughal Emperor throne to conduct a local bazaar.
