Paan Singh Tomar : A forgotten national hero
Paan Singh Tomar was a strange name for a Hindi film to me when I read about it in a newspaper a few months back. The fact that I have been a fan of Irrfan Khan since his Banegi Apni Baat days made it obvious for me to watch this movie, and as the name suggested, I was sure I might have something very different to watch.
Story of an athlete of a world-class, seven times national champions at Steeple Chase in the 50s and 60s, a participant at the 1958 Tokyo Asian Games and his journey as a “baaghi” as Irrfan Khan playing Paan Singh Tomar repeats in the movie is the backdrop of the story.
No doubt Paan Singh Tomar, the persona, is the winner of the movie, a sportsman who faded with time and, despite bringing laurels to the nation, was forced to rise against the law. This movie can be listed as one of the best movies by Irrfan Khan, and his natural acting has made Paan Singh Tomar live on screen.

Hi Bebay!! Happy 6th Birthday to you
Hi Bebay!!
Happy Birthday to you
This is your 6th birthday. No matter how far we remain, you are always remembered and missed in this corner of the heart. These words are without any reason, and sometimes, I can't help myself imagine what's going on in your small mind. The world is an illusion, and we see only those things that we are told or we are always told (?). It depends on how you look at it.
You are too young to feel the weight of these small words, and yet I am making you believe that there is a big place for you in this core of my small heart. No matter what, people around you won't let you feel it. It might take years to flip over this page of my blog (you will be surprised to read that this blog is for you; here, you will get everything that I could not teach you), but when you do it, you shall have a different aura to greet you.
Love aye
Baba

Sushma Dahal from Rongli wins Sargam Sikkim
 |
| Sushma Dahal with Johny Rai |
I first wrote about Sushma Dahal in 2009 and i said about her "She is the next big thing to happen in the music industry from Sikkim" in one of my blog post. I have seen her grow as a singer and i am happy to see her success. Sushma Dahal, a student from Chujachen SSS won the singing competition of Sargam Sikkim yesterday at Jorethang.
From a small time school function singer to the winner of " Pratibha Ko Khoj" some year back i had been associated with Sushma Dahal. To see her reach this stage i am very happy. Without doubt i would like to mention the names of three person Praveen Pradhan, Kushal Pradhan and Buren Gurung from Rongli for believing the talent of Sushma and supporting her in her earlier days. Well once more many many congratulation Sushma.
