Proud to be a Sikkimese: Sikkim Travel, Culture & Local Heritage

I have that grudge in my heart that i was not born in Independent Sikkim. So whenever i come across materials of Independent Sikkim i find a great pleasure. This time around i have come across two letters of the last recognised Chogyal of Sikkim on ebay. Those letters were send to Prof. JC Ghose at Calcutta. The years are of 1963 and 1965.

With the promo and the posters of the latest Nepali film "Letter", I am sure the filmmaking in Sikkim is going to have a major change in approach. This Nepali film about the mental disease called "split personality"  with a flavor of suspense and mystery is all about to be released.  Uttam Pradhan and Bishal Chamling is the lead actor while Annie Zimba will be making her film debut. The film is directed by Samten Bhutia who also has penned the story and its screenplay. It is to be noted that Samten Bhutia had earlier acted in the short English film Myth, made in Sikkim.

I just came across an excellent registered envelope send from Chandra Nursery, Rhenock to England....watch this letter it was send in 1938!! Chandra Nursery was famous for its floral business across the globe. The 1930s and 1940s were the peak period of their business.
