UFO movement caught at camera from Darjeeling last June

By himalayanreview


UFO stories had always encouraged me to think beyond human limitations. It creates a different world of thoughts. I am happy to share with my readers one such UFO sighting that happened last June 2016 in Darjeeling, West Bengal, India.

My friend Vikrant Yonzone from Darjeeling catches on camera the movement we consider to be out of this world.

Yonzone says "It was the 6th of June 2016 and I had been practising night photography those days. As usual night just past dinner time which is like 10 at my house, went to the rooftop of my residence in Singamari, set up my gear, and started shooting time-lapse shots. After about half an hour or so, I noticed a strange set of lights slowly moving past the sky. Didn't give much attention to it at first as a lot of moving light sightings are common for me since my childhood days, believing them to be some sort of satellites that are commonly visible during the evenings and late at night.

However, the object seemed to be quite close as its set of lights could be made out easily through the naked eye. After about 4 to 5 minutes, a similar object followed the same path of flight and this grabbed my attention. I stood there star-struck, wondering what it was but didn't stop shooting. In about 30 to 40 seconds, this second object float past the sky over Darjeeling and was out of sight. I could not understand what it was. 

This was the first time I had an encounter with such a UFO in my life. I later processed the photographs and created this clip. Ever since that day, I find myself staring at the night sky on a regular basis, with my camera handy, waiting to see if I would encounter something strange again. Till this day, it gives me that exciting and thrilling chill every time I think about that night."

History on Easter Sunday and Padari Ganga Prasad Pradhan

By himalayanreview
By Seira Tamang As noted by various scholars, Hinduism, the Nepali language, the monarchy and a rastriya itihas (a chronicle of progress in which the dark era of Rana rule is contrasted with the enlightened, progressive and modern period of Panchayat rule) formed the core of the Panchayat regime’s national culture. The formation and consolidation of this national culture have required the expunging of uncomfortable facts and stories that might raise ambiguities and questions. While the selection of what and who is and is not acknowledged to exist (or at least exist in historically important ways) in official Nepali history is complex, social scientists have begun to provide more comprehensive historical accounts of the past through oral histories and re-readings of historical documents. Such accounts reveal how ordinary people lived in the past, and offer ways to think through how ‘history’ is crafted, shaped and managed in order to reflect ‘the reality’ best suited to the status quo, ...

Pandam Garhi and its surmise

By himalayanreview
--> RUINS OF PANDAM GARHI BY SHITAL PRADHAN The stories of the legendary ruined walls at Pandam, a 16 km uphill climb from Rangpo, as I had heard from old folks a few seasons back, had ever since excited me to visit this place. Never in the pages of a history book do we come across its talk about when it was built or how it was constructed at the top of the hill? Over the years, many theories have evolved regarding its origin. Some theorists associate the fort with some Lepcha legends, while few disagree with it and have their own adage.  They make us believe one of the Chogyals constructed it to stop the approaching Bhutanese army from entering Sikkim. The last theory to add up, already baffling and controversial, says it was one of the Gurkha Generals from Nepal who constructed the fort along with the Kalika Mandir, also called Nishani Mandir, just below it. With each theory making questions over my mind, I decided to have my second trek to the Pandam Garhi. I had ...

Sikkim Mahinda Thero: A national hero of Sri Lanka

By himalayanreview
Sikkim Mahinda Thero BY SHITAL PRADHAN I first heard about S Mahinda Thero in 2005 while in Kolkata when I was asked by one of the stamp dealers whether I was interested in a 20 paisa stamp of S Mahinda Thero issued by the Sri Lankan Postal Department in the early 1970s. I collected philatelic items on Buddhism, but I never understood who he was talking about. He told me, as I was from Sikkim, I might be interested to know more about the person, and he went on to add it was Sikkim Mahinda Thero, a Buddhist monk who is regarded as a national hero, a famous poet in the Sinhalese language whose poetry promoted patriotism and the revival of Buddhism to this part of the Island. He promised to send me the stamp of S Mahinda Thero from Colombo through the mail, but I have never heard from him since then. However, regarding my limited concern, it was enough to know that such a person keeps the name Sikkim with honor and pride in Sri Lanka. I had the name...
