Sikkim’s cricket captain Nilesh Lamichaney bags prestigious BDM sponsorship

By himalayanreview
Nilesh Lamichaney, Captain of the Sikkim Cricket Team, added another feather to his short cricket career when he grabbed an opportunity to sign a sponsorship contract with the famed BDM Company. B. D. Mahajan & Sons Private Limited, more popular as BDM, is the world-famous manufacturer of Cricket bats, Cricket Balls, & Cricket Batting pads from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India. He now joins the league of players like MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Ricky Pointing, and others.



Captian Nilesh would like to thank BDM, especially Aditya Mahajan and Sanjeev Sharma, through this press release. Nilesh says it was his century and a couple of half-centuries last season that helped him to promote himself on sponsorship. He said that the prestigious contract has given me more responsibility, and I am more focused on my game. He thanked Sanjeev Sharma, coach of Sikkim Cricket Team and former India seamer, for all the support and motivation. He further said he scored his first century in a National Level tournament playing for the U-15 category with a BDM bat. The sponsorship has given a strong and positive message that if you play with your heart and with dedication, it pays you back. 

Adding to the recent performance of the Sikkim team at the Ranji Trophy, Nilesh said the winning habit was never easy, but thankfully, three professional players' performances helped the team’s spirit. They not only helped us win, but our players gained more confidence playing with them. Fielding had been the highlight of the tournament. We played to our best, and we wish to improve our performances in the coming season, he said.

I have been playing with this team since my U-15 days. I was given an opportunity to lead the team then, and since then, my captaincy has improved. The future of cricket at Sikkim is going to be the next big thing. The cricket stadium is on the line, and today, the youngsters can choose cricket as a career, he further added.

JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT

By himalayanreview
This was a national song of Sikkim sung in the Nepali language during the monarchy system. During the merger with India, the song got banned and later re-released. Two words on the 8th para, which earlier said 'Rajah rah Rani,' were replaced with "Janmah bhumi."     This song was dedicated to the King and Queen of Sikkim. The song lyrics were penned by Sanu Lama, and the music was composed by Dushyant Lama.  The song was first sung on the birth anniversary of Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal on April 4, 1970, at Gangtok by Aruna Lama, Dawa Lama, and Manikamal Chettri.    JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT,  JAHAN KANCHENDZONGA SEER   YEHI HO HAMRO DHANA KO DESH,  TAPAWAN HO PYARO SIKKIM     INTERLUDE     PHULCHAN YEHA AANGANAI MAA,  CHAAP , GURAS, SUNAKHARI   SWARGASARI SUNDAR DESH KO  HAMRO PYARO PYARO JANMAHBHUMI     JANHA BAGCHA……     BATASHLE BOKCHAA YAHA,  TATHAGAT KO AAMAR WAANI ...

The Gorkhas - Sons of the Soil, Pride of the Nation

By himalayanreview
 Nanda Kirati Dewan, a journalist from Assam traces the origin of the Gorkhas in India. Many people have misconceptions about the Gorkhas in India - that they are foreigners and have migrated from Nepal. There could not be a greater mistake than this. The Gorkhas are in fact the aborigines of India and they can trace their history back to ancient times. The Gorkha community is the product of Indo-Aryan and Mongoloid assimilation from ages past. As a linguistic group, they can trace their origin back to Indo-Aryan and Tibeto-Burman beginnings. In fact, the Gorkhas consist of both Indo-Aryan and Mongoloid racial groups. In the Mahabharata and Manusmriti names of Khasa are mentioned. They are in fact the Gorkhas. The Gorkhas spoke the language then known as Khaskura Khasas as a community existed in Nepal which it later changed to another ethnic name. The Lichchhavis, one of the aboriginal tribes of India originally lived in the plains of present Nepal. During the early centu...

Danny Denzongpa's first nepali film Mashal

By himalayanreview
Danny Denzongpa 's first Nepali film, Mashal , was produced by Sikkim Films Corporation Private Limited . Pratap Subba , a popular Nepali film director, directed it. The film was released in 1982. The film had the acting talents of that generation— Rajani Sharma , Danny Denzongpa, Sunil Thapa , Tej Rasaily, Ashok Sharma, Sushila Rayamaji, Ganesh Rijal, C. K. Shreshta, and others. Danny played a blind retired army man, while Sunil Thapa, also in his first Nepali film, was the villain. Kusum Gazmer wrote the lyrics, and Ranjit Gaazmer provided the music. Three songs — Yo Badaal , Dara Khola,  and  Ropaa Hai—are  still remembered to this day. The singers were Udit Narayan , Deepa Ghatraj, and Sushma Shrestha . In an interesting anecdote, I was told by Bhim Rawat, senior journalist and former President of the Sikkim Press Club, that he had watched the movie at Sri Krishna Hall at Rhenock , paying Rs. 1.50 paise for the ticket.
