RAHUL KUMAR BURMAN CBSE CLASS X TOPPER

By himalayanreview

GANGTOK, May 29: Meet Rahul Kumar Burman. A realistic intellectual at 15, Rahul has scored 92.4 percent (in aggregate) in the Class X CBSE examinations, results of which was announced through the Internet this morning across in the country.

A boy with optimal humility, Rahul a student of Kendriya Vidyalaya here, is the State topper with a score that looks very difficult to challenge. He has scored the highest 96 percent marks in Mathematics, 95 percent in Social Studies, 93 percent in Hindi, 92 percent in Science and 84 percent in the English.

Yet, this topper is not too happy with these marks! He believes that he could have scored much higher than this and even bettered his won record. “I made some silly mistakes,” he says.

For someone who studies 3-4 hours on a daily basis as a habit, aiming for the highest comes naturally. And with a solid support and motivation provided by his doting parents, good guidance from his teachers, it is not a surprise that he has topped his State.

Rahul is a great sports fanatic, with cricket and football on his favourite list. He has set himself high standards of excellence and plans to take up PCM (Pure Science) in his plus II and thereafter head to the IIT.

When asked for some tips which can help young students to achieve excellence in the board examinations, he put it down to a daily study routine, a disciplined life, proper utilization of time and obedience to the elders as some easiest steps to success.

It may be mentioned here that Rahul commutes by foot more than 10 kms downhill from his house at India Press, Burtuk to his School located at Libing, New Cantt on a daily basis due to lack of transport facilities. This shows the determination and strong-will of this boy at a time when majority of students prefer either a taxi or a private vehicles owned by their parents just to reach the doorstep of their Schools.

In spite of the tedious and frustrating lengthy walks, Rahul has always been focused on scaling great heights in everything he does. He is what true resilience and dedication is all about.

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 ...

Visit to the Ruined Royal Palace at Tumlong

By himalayanreview
My outlook towards the Heritage Management Seminar-3 Visit to the Ruined Royal Palace at Tumlong  The second day of the Two Days Seminar on Strategy for Heritage Management for Sikkim organized by the Cultural Department gave us an opportunity to visit the ruined Royal Palace at Tumlong. I had earlier been to that place couple of years back but still, I believed I should go to it since I had a few questions in my mind after I had seen an old sketch from a European Journal while surfing at internet on Tumlong. The sketch provided the scene of the Palace from a distant place where a road with two chorten on its upper side is shown while a single chorten lower than the road along with few huts like dwelling place and few people around was clearly framed of that period of ancient Sikkim. It is believed that when Campbell and Hooker were captured they were kept in those hut-like. I talked about the Tumlong sketch with a few of the officials during our short meetings. The o...

Pandam Garhi and its surmise

By himalayanreview
--> RUINS OF PANDAM GARHI BY SHITAL PRADHAN The stories of the legendary ruined walls at Pandam, a 16 km uphill climb from Rangpo, as I had heard from old folks a few seasons back, had ever since excited me to visit this place. Never in the pages of a history book do we come across its talk about when it was built or how it was constructed at the top of the hill? Over the years, many theories have evolved regarding its origin. Some theorists associate the fort with some Lepcha legends, while few disagree with it and have their own adage.  They make us believe one of the Chogyals constructed it to stop the approaching Bhutanese army from entering Sikkim. The last theory to add up, already baffling and controversial, says it was one of the Gurkha Generals from Nepal who constructed the fort along with the Kalika Mandir, also called Nishani Mandir, just below it. With each theory making questions over my mind, I decided to have my second trek to the Pandam Garhi. I had ...
