FROZEN WILDERNES

FROZEN WILDERNESS 

AWAY WE MARCH F0RM THE MADDNING CROWD, 
TO SEEK FOR A LAND OF GAIETY 
WHERE CHILLY WIND WOULD BLOW
WITH THE TASTE OF SNOW
OUR FACE SO PALE WITH CLENCHING TEETH
LOTS TO WALK WITH GASPING SPIRITS   
MANY WOULD GIVE UP BUT NON OF US DID 

FINALLY WE WERE AMIDST THE DIVINE LAND, 
THE WATER BLUE AND THE GLITTERING GRAINS OF SAND, 
HALOED MY THE MEGITIC HIMALAYA 
LURED BY THE PROPHYSIES OF WIND, 
THE ENCHANTING SONG THEY SING 
WE FORGOT OUR PAST AND THE FUTURE TURMOILS 
FOR WE ARE NOW AMIDST THE FROZEN WILDERNESS...

Life

Hundreds of laughter, thousands of cry.
many times we quit, many times we try. 
Sometimes we walk in the scorching sun and 
sometimes we run in the gust and rain.
an eye of frustration, and a heart of hope.
Sometimes life is about love,
sometimes its about money. 
But the most important of all is
how we carry ourselves throughout this journey.

70 YEARS OLD MILL AT LINGTAM, E- SIKKIM.

A very old Mill [almost 70 years old] built at Lingtam [East Sikkim] operated by the current generating from a  small canal of water that was channelized from the near- by stream. It was used for crushing flour and grains by the local villagers. A beam balance [at the foreground] and the stone crusher [at the background] can be seen at the picture. The most amazing thing about this mill is that, a minimal current of water could generate energy enough to propel this massive grinding block of stone.
