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.

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...
