UFO movement caught at camera from Darjeeling last June



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."

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...
