Sikkim became part of the mighty Indian Union in 1975, and in the last 37 years, a small Himalayan kingdom has transformed itself into one of the most beautiful tourist centers in the world. The same year, a milestone was accomplished in Sikkim in the world of Indian Cinema, but more than three decades later, the story seems forgotten by the wheel of the clock. I wanted to be part of the history of reintroducing the stories of Romeo in Sikkim, a Hindi film with a few landmarks still unknown to many. Romeo in Sikkim is the first Hindi film produced by Sikkim and the first Nepali actor to lead in a Bollywood film (Shyam Pradhan). Shyam Pradhan went on to act in another film, the first Hindi-Nepali bilingual feature film that never saw the light of day. He later went on to make two successful Nepali movies, Bhool and Sanjiwani. For information, the Nepali film Sanjiwani was made in three languages simultaneously: Nepali, Bengali, and Hindi. The Hindi version has yet to be ...

Anyone interested in going through the old lifestyles of the small Kingdom of Sikkim will surely be delighted to know that the much-awaited "Sikkim '' documentary by noted filmmaker Satyajit Ray will hit the market soon in DVDs and VCDs. Shot in 1971 in different parts of Sikkim stories of the very documentary being banned and later on gossip of the lost negatives of the much-talked documentary makes the work more interesting for Sikkim lovers to search for this masterpiece. I was fortunate to watch this documentary last year when it was shown at Vajra Cinema Hall at Gangtok. Watching the Chogyal and Gyalmo moving on the widescreen of the cinema hall made it more appealing to audiences like me who were not born in Independent Sikkim. Truly each scene that illustrated the old Sikkim gave me a feeling of that era when this land was free of the noises and crowds that surround it today. Just watch the above video of Gangtok City, the then-small capital of the Kingdom of Sikkim...

Today I happened to cross the Rangchang Khola Bridge, the very steel bridge that is in news after its collapse few weeks back. More of a first time happening Bridge collapse in Sikkim, I was taken aback when I heard the news for the very first time. I was still at Dalapchand when the incident happened and I received a call from Bajgain daju wanting me to find information about the incident. When I came across the debris of the ill-fated steel bridge I wasn’t able to believe that this was the very bridge that I had walked through when I was on the visit to Mangan and its surroundings during Earthquake relief work. I still remember clicking photographs of the panoramic beauty of the valley from the bridge. More than ten people had died when a concrete steel bridge collapsed over Rangchang khola (river) around 1.15 pm in North Sikkim. According to news media the bridge collapsed due to the weight of a 48 wheelers truck carrying power equipment. The truck was loaded with heavy weight ...
