Irony of an employee again strikes....

By himalayanreview
As i was writing about my delima of being an employee on the other day...yesterday i received an ironical comment which i cannot stop myself from sharing with others. As i had written earlier, as an employee i was directed not to attend any political organisation be it of ruling government or oppositions. I was advised that an employee should not be involved in political affairs.

Now after the biggest of irony among all..i am told that why are you not going to wish the CM on his success. No doubt i am happy for the success of our CM and i do appreciate that the state of Sikkim have changed for better under his leadership but is it necessary (as an employee) that i should personally wish him at his home/office. I was latter again told if i do not go .....i would be noticed for this....!!!

I have no problem vising local candidates and congratulating them for their success after the election win but....what i do not like is the mere fact that most people visit to make their work done which i find it difficult to do. Most of the public either wants transfer to better place, wants new job, wants better contracts and others because they believe they have helped the candidate win...Does it not seem that they are exchanging their vote for their personal benefits and nothing to be more concern about the future of Sikkim.


(BUT AM I ALONE TO THINK SUCH........!)

Well there can't be more irony of becoming an employee than this.....

    You are not alone Mr Shital, I thought about the exact same thing when I read in the papers that people had queued up around the Secretariat to wish all the Ministers. I guess that is the hippocracy of our world, simple people can't just mind their own business and go on with their lives. It always has to be pleasing some one and being scared of another! That I guess is the democracy we live in today! But nothing will change unless we as people start changing, and we hold on to our ideals and beliefs about what's is right for us and what is wrong!

Those early man tools found in Sikkim!

By himalayanreview
--> Display of Neolithic tools recovered from Sajyong, 2003 (Weekend Review) BY SHITAL PRADHAN Not only is the Himalayan land of Sikkim old but it is also considered ancient. The archeological findings of different Neolithic tools in this part of the Himalayas over the last three decades speak of its antiquity. It may be of little importance to many. However, findings of various Neolithic tools from the remote pockets in Sikkim over the past five decades have still collected vivid interest in people beyond this region. On three separate occasions, Neolithic tools had been dug out from Sikkim, and that unfolded the age of this Himalayan mountain land much against the period we were supposed to. “The term Neolithic Period, or New Stone Age, defines the second period, at the beginning of which ground and usually polished rock tools, notably axes, came into widespread use after the adoption of a new technique of stone working. The beginning of the Neolithic...

History on Easter Sunday and Padari Ganga Prasad Pradhan

By himalayanreview
By Seira Tamang As noted by various scholars, Hinduism, the Nepali language, the monarchy and a rastriya itihas (a chronicle of progress in which the dark era of Rana rule is contrasted with the enlightened, progressive and modern period of Panchayat rule) formed the core of the Panchayat regime’s national culture. The formation and consolidation of this national culture have required the expunging of uncomfortable facts and stories that might raise ambiguities and questions. While the selection of what and who is and is not acknowledged to exist (or at least exist in historically important ways) in official Nepali history is complex, social scientists have begun to provide more comprehensive historical accounts of the past through oral histories and re-readings of historical documents. Such accounts reveal how ordinary people lived in the past, and offer ways to think through how ‘history’ is crafted, shaped and managed in order to reflect ‘the reality’ best suited to the status quo, ...

Shapi of Sikkim: Our legacy -iii

By himalayanreview
A Sikkimese with a Shapi The two previous articles I wrote in my earlier edition on Shapi were wonderful to read for people around, and appreciation had been received from different corners of the state. I am thankful and find pleasure in people finding joy in my findings and research work. It was a bit surprising that very few had heard about Shapi, our rare legacy.  Nevertheless, I am happy to be part of history for re-introducing Shapi to those sections of my readers who had never heard about this old and sacred mountain mammal, a native of Sikkim. I dedicate my writing on Shapi to Ongden Daju (RO), who has been very supportive of me ever since I first published its first part a few months back. It was he who wanted me to continue with the third part of Shapi since more findings were evolving after my two writings. I shall always remain grateful to JR Subba, Jt Director from the Forest Department, for providing me with a valuable census report of Shapi done by the Department...
