Dashain, the time of happiness, joy and blessings. Just the pronunciation of the word ‘Dashain’ is a mesmerizer, a complete package of radiance and memories of the past years. It is like eid to a Muslim and Xmas to a Christian.
For me, this year’s Dashain was completely different, filled with excitement and joy. We went to visit different places in Darjeeling, Kalimpong and in Sikkim. People rushing around with their kids to meet elders, loud music playing in every shop, drunkers hitting the jackpot on the road sides, it was entirely quite a sight.
Darjeeling and Kalimpong had a different sight, people wearing “Daura Sural”, and ladies wearing “Chaubandi and fariya”. In these hills, people are obliged to wear traditional gurkhali dress for some political reasons. But backin Gangtok, it was quiet, unlike usual days few people roaming around, this hustle center seemed to embarace rathar unusual stillness. I wonder where do people go in Dasain?
