Far from the madding crowd


As my soul transmigrates from one world to the other, it travels far away into the distant land and seas, till it reaches deep into the woods. Happiness is something that I am learning to find deep within myself ...
Far from the madding crowd I realise my true self. The voice of my soul becomes clearer and louder. I thought I would find voices there but I found only the rumblings and rantings of the self obsessed narcissist.
Roads diverge in every step of the way, choices are made every step of the way. Life unravels every step of the way.
A serene lake somewhere, a cold breeze on a mountain top, and the smile of a beloved holds my dream together in a far away place and time. Till then my weary feet must find their way in the road less travelled...

Tulip Blooms 2021: How to grow Tulips in pots?

Image
In my seven years of gardening experience, I always thought that Tulips were difficult flowers to grow especially in the cold and high altitude of the Darjeeling hills.  This year because of my poor health condition I was unable to take good care of my flowers during the winters. However, to my surprise my tulips bloomed in spite of proper care that is needed for these flowers. The #covid19 lockdown has really shown us the importance of having hobbies like gardening, cooking etc. Plus, gardening is really good for your mental and physical health and the natural environment. It also adds beauty to your home and enlivens your spirit when you watch your flower bloom.  How to grow Tulips in pots? Tulips are winter bulbs that are sown in the months of December till late January. I sowed mine in late January.  You can buy tulip bulbs in the local nurseries or online stores. The same goes for compost if you are starting your hand at gardening for the first time. If you have a milkman ' do

Seasons

Image
We took pictures of the yellow flowers and captured the memories of a fading dream. How some things always remain amongst the tattered n fragmented memories of the yesteryear. A season before i shared my sorrow wit the blooming flowers at the park; how ironic that my friend should share the same feeling wit me today. We walked on the dusty n winding trail, shared a smoke against the gentle breeze. The unrelenting heat beat down on us with the same intensity of the unchained emotions that ploughed our hearts. Its said that people meet for a reason; i felt glad to share this moment with my friend. We wondered how we would talk about this moment in the winter of our lives and wondered if these flowers would bring good memories. A season will pass and fade our dreams along with these memories but these flowers will be back in full bloom to share sorrows of another broken dream. - Pasang D Lepcha

Mountains and Biodiversity : International Mountain Day 2020

Image
International Mountain Day is being celebrated the world over today especially by the Darjeeling Himalayan Initiative (DHI) and The Integrated Mountain Initiative (IMI). This year's theme is 'Biodiversity of Sikkim Himalaya' and a broad range of issues was discussed by the expert panelists.  The major question or questions were "How do we mainstream/ bring discussion on Biodiversity in our day to day lives? Where and when did our disconnect with nature happen?" The panelists provided really great insights on the role of education, media, and social media in bringing back this connection. I think there is no easy and quick answers to these really difficult questions. Maybe there is a greater need for reflection and analysis. That wedge of disconnect with nature is growing into a gorge. Who is to be blamed? What is to be blamed? Or is blaming enough? Are there any solutions and would they work? The disconnect is there in how we live, what we eat and what we grow...
