SCA attends Special General Meeting of BCCI

By himalayanreview

Special General Meeting (SGM) of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was held in Delhi on 22.06.2018. The President of Sikkim Cricket Association (SCA) Lobzang G. Tenzing represented Sikkim. During the meeting among other agendas the most important was for Northeast states playing Ranji Thropy for the first time in a new format. Exiting Ranji teams will be in the “Elite Division” and the rest in “Plate Division”.  

The decision was made that in the upcoming domestic season, new teams including North Eastern States and Bihar will be playing against each other in the plate division. The top 2 teams from the plate division will then face the bottom two sides of group A, B and C of the elite division and the best two will promoted to the elite division in the following season and bottom 2 from the elite division will be relegated to plate division.

The modalities will be worked soon but the President of SCA Lobzang G. Tenzing was thrilled to note that SGM for the first time resolved to involve Northeast States in Ranji Trophy. He said that, this is the result of the hard work put up by the office bearers of No

rtheast States Associations in last two years. The united front of cricket associations of Northeast States under the umbrella of North East Cricket Development Committee (NECDC) has been in the forefront of lobbying for development of Cricket in North East, he added.

 

This is a brilliant chance for our boys’ to showcase one’s talent in the National arena and playing for the National Team and IPL in future as Ranji Throphy is the main platform. President Lobzang G. Tenzing wishes luck to the players of Sikkim Cricket for the upcoming season and asks the senior cricketers to take up cricket more seriously. He also mentioned that now he awaits SCA to be full voting right member of BCCI.

JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT

By himalayanreview
This was a national song of Sikkim sung in the Nepali language during the monarchy system. During the merger with India, the song got banned and later re-released. Two words on the 8th para, which earlier said 'Rajah rah Rani,' were replaced with "Janmah bhumi."     This song was dedicated to the King and Queen of Sikkim. The song lyrics were penned by Sanu Lama, and the music was composed by Dushyant Lama.  The song was first sung on the birth anniversary of Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal on April 4, 1970, at Gangtok by Aruna Lama, Dawa Lama, and Manikamal Chettri.    JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT,  JAHAN KANCHENDZONGA SEER   YEHI HO HAMRO DHANA KO DESH,  TAPAWAN HO PYARO SIKKIM     INTERLUDE     PHULCHAN YEHA AANGANAI MAA,  CHAAP , GURAS, SUNAKHARI   SWARGASARI SUNDAR DESH KO  HAMRO PYARO PYARO JANMAHBHUMI     JANHA BAGCHA……     BATASHLE BOKCHAA YAHA,  TATHAGAT KO AAMAR WAANI ...

Sukunda: Newa`s five elements

By himalayanreview
(Information by Dipak Shrestha) Sukunda is a typical traditional Nepali oil lamp made of brass. The front part of this lamp shows a tiny icon of Ganesha, the god of luck and success. On its front is a small cup fixed in the shape of a Yoni used to put the wick. Fixed on the back of the lamp is a fascinating loop handle designed with a five-headed serpent (sometimes a mythical dragon or makara) raising its head in a very watchful attitude.  A small spoon with a nagakanya on top generally replenishes the reservoir's oil. The artistic work on this unique oil lamp reflects the remote past of a very famous Buddhist legend.  The Legend A long time ago, Kathmandu Valley was a large lake inhabited by nagas(snakes). In the middle of the lake was a beautifully blooming thousand-petalled lotus flame. When Buddhisattwa Mahamanjushree heard about this, he rushed to the valley from China to pay homage to the flame. The entire valley rang up with the thundering strike of his mag...

Early Poets of Sikkim : Subhash Deepak

By himalayanreview
During the early two decades of the twentieth century young boys belonging to rich and aristocratic families including upper caste Brahmins were sent to Darjeeling or Benares for studies. These young boys naturally got an opportunity to encounter the new trends of awakening like the National movement of Indian Independence. The influence of great literary personalities like Lekhnath Poudyal (1884-1965), Lakshmi Prasad Devkota (1909-1965) and Balkrishna Sama (1902-1981) is very much evident on the poets associated with Apatan Sahitya Parishad . This was the time when Parasmani Pradhan , Surya Bikram Gewali and their worthy associates had already had their influences on the young poets. ‘The tide of awakening had swept throughout the area like Sikkim , Darjeeling, Benares and Dehradun . During the second and third decade of 20th century Dharanidhar Koirala’s ‘ Naibedya ’ (1920), Mahananda Sapkota’s ‘ Mana Lahari ’ (1920) marked a break with the traditi...
