Ghostly image behind a boy at a waterfalls !!

By himalayanreview

I do not know whether the story is true or not but its something that is being the talk of the town. The above photograph is send to my community group "Proud to be a Sikkimese" in Facebook by one of my very good friend Saran.

The story behind the photograph goes as "... a Kid died after visiting Jhakri falls (?) and died that night. His parents had taken  photographs of their child during their outing that day. And later they developed the photo from the camera(!), and it had a shocking picture of faint looking image of Ban Jharki behind the child in one of the photographs". The photographs is distinct and does not belong from the famed tourist spot Ban Jhakri Falls at Gangtok as the rumour goes by.

It is strange that neither the spot nor the guy had been identified so far!!

The Tibet Mirror: The first Tibetan newspaper, now only a memory

By himalayanreview
KALIMPONG, India, 12 May 2005 October 1930 issue of the Tibet Mirror. Once a potpourri of flourishing trade and hub of secret agents from Britain, Tibet,China, India, America's CIA and probably other countries, Kalimpong seems today a mere worn-out town where everyone is only catching up on their lives. "After Tibet lost its independence (in 1959), Kalimpong's importance also diminished. There was no more trade between Tibet and India under Tibet's new ruler, and it (Kalimpong) was no more of any political significance," says 76-year-old Phurbu Dhondup, an elderly Tibetan living in the town. It was then the Tibetans brought wool to India, while on return they carried all kinds of household goods—you name it, you have it. It was here that the first Tibetan newspaper was born. "The Tibet Mirror Press; Established 1925", reads the signboard on the crumbling tinned house, near the 10th Milestone (doesn't exist now though) on Giri road. Albeit the first T...

The coinage system of Sikkim

By himalayanreview
It is more or less a forgotten part of the development process of the then-small Himalayan kingdom, Sikkim . The introduction of the coinage system in Sikkim ceased the way it started. A study of the coinage system of Sikkim sheds light on the socio-economic and political history of the then-small state. The coins of Sikkim ended the way they appeared; they came from nowhere, and finally, they got lost out in the darkness. A handful of people around Sikkim and in the districts of Darjeeling now have these rare items in their collections. The coin of Sikkim is much sought after by numismatists interested in countries that no longer exist today. Before the British invasion of the land of Sikkim, the capital revenue system was never heard. Sikkim, being an agricultural foreground, had some parts of food grains given to the king as tax. Trade was carried out where things were exchanged between individuals. This system was prevalent even in the mid-19th century; oranges were exchan...
