26.07.21: It was today, the last year when our dear Ghanashyam Pradhan Sikkim Dhaba of Rongli more popularly known as GS Sir to his friends and students left us. His life was an inspiration; aspiring and motivational. He was Sikkim's first covid victim and in the last one year, our state has lost 331 of it's people. I pay my tribute to all the souls who passed away in this one year that was the most difficult phase the world had witnessed. His first year of death tithi falls on August 14, 2021.
