Fond Farewell to a Beloved Sakyong Chisopani JHS

03.07.23: With a heavy heart, I gather my thoughts to pen down these lines. Today marks the end of an era as I bid adieu to this beloved school. It seems like just yesterday when I embarked on this journey. Reflecting upon the last decade, I feel immense gratitude for the opportunities that came my way. 



Along this path, I had the privilege of working with three exceptional Headmasters: Shri Mahesh Dahal, Shri Satish Chandra Pradhan, and Shri PB Subba, and senior teachers like Smt. Gita Pradhan, Shri DP Pandey, Shri LN Sharma, Shri TR Baniya, Shri CM Chettri, and Shri Arjun Chettri. Each of them imparted valuable wisdom over time, introducing me to different teaching approaches and the fundamental principles of school administration through our enriching conversations on uplifting the institution.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to all the guardians, parents, and families participating in this journey. Your unwavering support and trust in me have been the pillars of strength. To my dear students, you have brought so much joy and meaning to my life. Each of you holds a special place in my heart, and I will undoubtedly miss the cherished moments we shared together. 

I cannot express enough appreciation for the incredible teaching and non-teaching staff who have graced this institution. Working alongside such talented and dedicated individuals has been a true privilege. Each person has taught me valuable lessons and offered unique perspectives, enriching my understanding of life's diverse tapestry. I am sincerely grateful to each one of them.

As I bid farewell, I earnestly hope that the spirit of cooperation and dedication towards the school will continue to thrive. The School Management Committees play a pivotal role, and I trust in their commitment to the growth and success of this institution. Now, as a new chapter begins, I embark on a different path. 

Tomorrow, Mrs. Nirmala Sharma, one of the school's pillars, and I will join our new postings as the Headmaster of Dongeythang Primary School and the Headmistress of the Primary Section at Singtam SSS. We carry with us the memories and lessons from this school, which will forever shape our approach to education and administration. 

To all of you, my dear friends, colleagues, students, parents, and well-wishers, I extend my deepest gratitude for the love, support, and togetherness you have bestowed upon me. I bid farewell to the school I have served for the last ten years with a mixture of emotions, but I am filled with optimism and excitement for the journey that lies ahead. 

May this school continue to thrive and nurture young minds, guiding them towards a bright future? Farewell, my dear school, and thank you for being an integral part of my life's journey.

JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT

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 ...

Sikkim (India)   Image by Mario Fabretto Description of the flag Historical flags 1877 - c. 1914 c. 1914 - 1962 1962 - 1967 Description of the flag From Barraclough (1971):  "Sikkim, formerly a protectorate of India, was incorporated as the twenty-second state of the union in May 1975, and the office of the hereditary ruler, the Chogyal , was abolished. Sikkim has, or had, a flag of white with a red border all round, and a yellow Chakra (fimbriated in red) in the centre."  "...the Chakra [is] a Buddhist symbol representing the Law of Dharma , or eternal change." The Chakra on the flag of Sikkim is different then the one on India's flag. It has eight spokes rather than the many spokes on India's, and has an ornate "nub" on the wheel at the head of each spoke.

Have you eaten Sikkim Cucumber ?

Ever heard of " Sikkim Cucumber "? To my little knowledge, I have very little heard about it. Well to my surprise, there seems to be a cucumber species in our locality that is known to the other parts of the world as "Sikkim Cucumber" or more efficiently " Concombre Apple Sikkim ". It is said to have an orange-red skin colour. It is said that "Sikkim Cucumber is not a hybrid, but an ancient variety which grows in Sikkim State in India . Protected by hard skin, it can easily be stored safely for months! It is comparatively small, never reaching more than 10 cm/4 inches. Its skin makes for a beautiful design and is a popular ornamental plant in Europe. But it is edible. Its taste is soft and void of acidity. It can be eaten raw or cooked. It certainly seems very popular in the Indian Himalayas . It can actually be prepared in as many dishes as usual green cucumbers." Never knew that one of my favourite Karkra had its ancient connection with S...
