Proud to be a Sikkimese: Sikkim Travel, Culture & Local Heritage

Happy 10th Birthday Bebay...ten years passed by and now you are a grown-up child. You have grown up to be a beautiful lady, and as I always say, I see you grow in photographs. I cannot express my feelings towards you; I know you have many things to tell me. Being a father, I am supposed to be near you in your growing days. But I am not near you. You might be angry, sad, and don't want to see my face; I can understand; I can feel it…but chori…my part of the pain is with me, which is too young for you to understand. I had always tried to make people happy. What I did to depart from you was, in a way, make you remain happy. I never wanted you to grow up in that disturbed family environment. I knew I was losing you, but I had to do it. There are things you sometimes need to grow up to understand. I am saying all this because you are grown up and can differentiate between good and bad.   I know you will go through these messages sooner or later, and I am leaving them ...
