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

It is more than a coincidence that exactly a year ago, I clicked a strange-looking cloud from the balcony of my Sakyong Chisopani JHS, and on the same date this year, from the same school premises, I clicked photographs of a moving object in the sky that is not a cloud or a fighter plane contrail. My sky-gazing interest made me research what other sky events occurred that day/night across the globe, and interestingly, I came to know that on that night, across the north Indian states of India, including the state of Punjab, a  strange-looking line of bright lights  moving across the sky.  The photograph of the bright lines did look similar to the ones I took the photographs on that day; the only thing was that the cloud-like image I saw moved like a cloud. 02.12.21: Photographed from Sakyong Chisopani JHS Mysterious lights spotted in the sky in northern India leave many people puzzled.
