Sikkim’s No.1 Dancer prepares for an exciting semi finals



SINGTAM, MAY 7: The exciting semi finals of the junior and senior category of Sikkim’s No.1 Dancer, Search for the best solo dancer of Sikkim is set to happen at Singtam on May 12 and 13 respectively. Around 41 participants from different corner of state are performing their best for the coveted title of ‘Sikkim’s No.1 Dancer’.
The event is organized by Badhaichha Creation, Singtam in association with Singtam Basibiyalo and ‘Proud To Be A Sikkimese’ Blog. The Media Partners for the events are Sikkim Express, Samay Dainik, Nayuma Television, Voice of Sikkim and 91.9 FM, Gangtok. The mega event is supported by SPARK NGO, Singtam and Cricket Philately website.
Indra Pradhan, Central Executive Member of SDF and the chairperson of the Sikkim’s No.1 Dancer organizing Committee had expressed happiness the way the participants had performed. We thoroughly enjoyed the two day audition round and I am sure more excitation is still awaited in next two rounds. I am happier to see major participants from rural areas, she said.
According to the information provided by Praveen Pradhan, Managing Director of Badhiachha Creation, Pradhan has added that we never had second thought about our talents in our state but we lacked in platform, we have organized this dance competition basically to promote our local talents. Most of the participants we had at the competitions were those whose dancing skills had been limited to school functions. We want to highlight those gifted one to different dancing stages of Sikkim and beyond.


Pradhan went on to say that after the competition of the audition rounds, a special dance workshop was organized at Singtam that was attended by the semi finalist participants. The three judges interacted with the participants and explained about semi final rounds. It was announced that the participants for both junior and senior category shall perform two separate dances for the coming semi final round. In the first round the participants shall perform for ‘Property Round’ from which 20 selected shall enter for the next “Theme Round” from which ten selected shall feature in the Finals, said Pradhan.
Pradhan added that the dance performance shall be of 2 minutes and the participants are requested to report on time on the day. We had some problem with the participants from far places with the registration so in the coming round we have decided that the participants reporting earlier shall be given first preferences, said Pradhan.

  2. Hi,
    This is Subhash here from bangalore. Nice blog you've got here. I've never visited gangtok, but I have great interest in setting up a software company in gangtok. In view of unused bandwidth from stpi, and uninterrupted power, it is perfect for my company, theoretically.

    I heard it's hard to find a place to rent there. Would that be true? What other problems would I have to face for daily living gangtok, like stocking essential supplies for a couple of weeks, etc... :)

    Can you please advise me on whether gangtok is a nice place to settle down if one doesn't have to move out of the state too much. Sorry for the trouble if you don't wish to be bothered.

    Thanks in advance, just in case :)

    Subhash

Rongli my birthplace

BY SHITAL PRADHAN A small hamlet in an eastern side Silent raush on its way, The old silk route, More older it look Upon which I stay, Hey that’s Rongli, Rongli my birthplace Years went by, years dried up, Yet the small village is as it was, Silent, peaceful and introvert Today’s picture of Rongli, Houses as station bogie, Looks a cradle, from Chujachen, Upon which the blue sky, As if I can touch thee, Roaring River, As the legend we hear, Still watch with glee, The terror of 1890 somewhat forgotten, Yet another terrorizing moment, 68 was the year… 1968, When sky too wasn’t pleased. That was Rongli, Rongli of the past. Playing along the Baar-Pepal tree, Hiding in the Shivalaya, Watching videos and aloft Is a decent memory, now? Sweet time in treasure, Yet when I am in Rongli, I am happy, in whither sweet. Rongli my birthplace !

India’s illegal occupation of independent Sikkim has to be reversed

Extracted from Pakistan Defence India’s “Chief Executive” in Gangtok wrote: “Sikkim’s merger was necessary for Indian national interest. And we worked to that end. Maybe if the Chogyal had been smarter and played his cards better, it wouldn’t have turned out the way it did.” It is also said that the real battle was not between the Chogyal and Kazi Lendup Dorji but between their wives. On one side was Queen Hope Cook, the American wife of the Chogyal and on the other was the Belgian wife of the Kazi, Elisa-Maria Standford. “This was a proxy war between the American and the Belgian,” says former chief minister BB Gurung. But there was a third woman involved: Indira Gandhi in New Delhi. Chogyal Palden met the 24-year-old New Yorker Hope Cook in Darjeeling in 1963 and married her. For Cook, this was a dream come true: to become the queen of an independent kingdom in Shangrila. She started taking the message of Sikkimese independence to the youth, and the allegations started flying thic...

The coinage system of Sikkim

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...
