A day at the City that never Sleeps - Pattaya
A day at the City that never Sleeps – Pattaya
My day in Bangkok was exhausting as there was too much to cover in a day. So, I decided to have a day full of enjoyment at Pattaya and then I realized that a DAY in Pattaya means nothing because unless you enjoy the NIGHT in Pattaya you have missed the fun. Pattaya never sleeps because with the dimming light of the sun, the city becomes livelier and more vibrant.
I had a wonderful stay at Just…

A day through the Golden Past of Bangkok
A day through the Golden Past of Bangkok
The first thing I did after getting my passport in hand was to check which the countries are offering visa-on-arrival to Indians. After a thorough research on that and the price of flight tickets I finalised – Thailand. The rich cultural history of Thailand has always inspired me to visit and when I found that the air ticket from Kolkata was way too cheap I was on my way.

A risky Trek by Four Fearless Soul – Triund Hills, Himachal Pradesh, India
A risky Trek by Four Fearless Soul – Triund Hills, Himachal Pradesh, India
This has been the most adventurous trip so far in my life which has given a lot of lesson to me. It’s been five years! Five and a half to be precise but I still remember each and every moment of that dangerous trek we did. There were four of us, Jinson, Yash, Subhas and me – two were from Kerala, one from Madhya Pradesh and a Bong in me. We had just finished our post graduation and before…

Life gives us many surprises. The sweetest of those are the one that come wrapped in a shock. Before that night, I never believed that life can present us with such beautiful moments just when we feel the road in front is full of darkness
I had been a lone traveler throughout my college days – it could be my unsocial being – I am not sure but I always…

When the night of Horror became a Blind date - #TheBlindList
When the night of Horror became a Blind date – #TheBlindList
I was on my way to Puri- the temple town of Orissa. The night train started perfectly on time and as passengers were getting ready for the night’s sleep after dinner the train stopped. It was middle of nowhere and nothing could be seen outside. For almost an hour there was no movement of the train which made people started to speculate uncountable types of theories. We were starting to lose our…

The visit to the Tea Garden and Factory was a big enlightenment for a tea lover like me and I decided to spend the rest of the day roaming around the Mall and a visiting the Mahakal Temple. The hill that rises on the North of the Chowrasta Mallis called the Observatory Hill. One of the most beautiful hotels in Darjeeling, the Windemere is located on this hall and a glimpse of the hotel can be…

Darjeeling Diary - The Happy Valley
Darjeeling Diary – The Happy Valley
It was the super breakfast at Glenary’s that started my day. As I walked along the morning Nehru Road to the Mall, the flags of the Nations participating in the Soccer World Cup were flapping above my head bearing the success of the ‘Darjeeling – The World Cup Town’ parade held a month ago. I went past the Mall and took the Mall Road that leads towards Bhanu Bhawan. A Mini Van was waiting for me…

A Quest for Golden Fort of Jaisalmer - Featured Post
A Quest for Golden Fort of Jaisalmer – Featured Post
This post is sponsored by
When I joined my Post Graduation School at Delhi, I was super excited – not because a new course of study and a new degree was on my way but thinking that the huge treasure trove of Rajasthan, MP & UP was going to be within hours distance from me. It did not take me many weekends to plan the first solo trip and I could not think of anything else but Jaisalmer.…

As I approached the Chowrasta Mall from my hotel, I could see the colourful flags flattering above the Mall. They were flags of all 32 nations participating in the FIFA World Cup 2018. That was a lovely scene as there were flags of all participating nations – not only the stronger ones.
As I headed towards Glenary’s for my breakfast I noticed that the entire stretch of Nehru Road is also covered with the same flags. I knew about the amazing craze for football in this hill town from my previous visits but have never seen such enthusiasm. Last time when I was here during the FIFA World Cup in Brazil I saw individual enthusiasm where almost everyone hung a flag of the country they were supporting. It was impossible to find a red flag of Tunisia or the tricolour of Senegal. This time, it was not so. To me, it was a marvellous way to show support to the game of football. The hill town of Darjeeling has been a true ambassador of the beautiful game and they have kept their passion alive. I was in a belief that it was done by some citizen forum to create an ambience for the biggest competition of Football.
Later, when I was seating on a bench at the Mall, I came to know the real truth between this colourful getup of the beautiful city and that made me love it more than before. The cause was much bigger than simply enjoying the game of football;
It all started with the need to provide health and education to the marginalised people living in the tough terrains of Darjeeling. Deven Gurung, the President of Darjeeling North Point School Alumni Association felt the need to provide health care and education facilities to the poorest people of the city. In the far-flung areas of the hills of Darjeeling, many poor people live who do not have enough money to treat their illness, because of their financial criticality as well as because of the lack of communication they can never turn up in the city to get their treatment. A lot of life is lost this way. Gurung and his colleagues in the DNPSAA felt the need for a vehicle which can reach the remote areas, conduct the medical tests and diagnose the illness of the poor for free. The idea of ‘Clinic on Wheels’ was born with that. The World Cup Town Celebration was still not conceived.
The idea of the ‘Clinic on Wheels’ was basically to create an ambulance with lab testing facilities. They have finalised a list of 40 medical tests which can be done in the ambulance and the reports will be provided to the patients then and there. A Doctor, a nurse and a lab technician will be posted in the ambulance itself and they will travel to the remote areas of Darjeeling hills treating poor for free. To raise enough fund for this facility, DNPSAA invited all heads of education in the city to a meeting on 2nd May 2018 at their alma matter – The Saint Josephs School, North Point Darjeeling. The meeting saw the amazing response and DNPSAA soon conducted a presentation to the students at each school. Their primary idea was to sensitise the students to contribute to creating enough fund for the cause.
There was a need to request a monetary contribution from the students and to bring clarity in the process, the DNPSAA found a method. The FIFA World Cup was around the corner and the hill was starting to wear the colours. They utilised the occasion and planned a Football March. ‘Darjeeling-The World Cup Town’ was in place. For the event, each and every student were requested to register for Rs. 300/- and they were given a Flag of a participating nation, a brochure and a pack of lunch. They were asked to wear the jersey of the country they support and bring the flag given to them on the day of the parade – 2nd June.
On the morning of 2nd June, the Chowrasta and its entire surrounding were changed. It was an unprecedented response and more than 3000 students became part of the long-march that completely changed the colours of the hills that day. The response was overwhelming even before the event. With the great cause, many NGOs came forward with helping hands- MARG (who work on human trafficking), Namaste Foundation (a social service group), Shankar Foundation (working for AIDS patients), and Positive Heart Foundation. Other than these, many activity groups such as ZUMBA group, Enfield bikers group, Super Bikers groups, BMX stunt group, Scooty Girls group and many more also came forward to make the event even more colourful. Moutain Bike Rally, Scooty Rally, Cosplay, Freestyle skills performance, music performance, Zumba performance were organised along with the parade to make the event a grand one. The most successful of the events was surely the Cheerleading Competition – it was a massive hit.

‘Darjeeling – The World Cup Town’ was a massive success. The colours of football encouraged many locals also take part in the event and contribute to the cause. The colourful event drew good media coverage and Darjeeling truly presented itself as the footballing city. The Parade, the competitions, the music, the dance all were to welcome the greatest football show on the earth and the real cause behind all these was hidden. That, however, did not upset the organisers – the fund was raised, and later the ambulance was also purchased. There was enough money to run the service along with the wages of the doctor, nurse and the technician. ‘Darjeeling – The World Cup City’ – which started as a fundraising event turned out to be a grand welcome party for the World Cup but underneath it, it served its purpose.
The Queen of Hills again proved its worth. It gave us one more reason to fall in love with it. I wish all the luck for ‘Clinic on Wheel’ project and wish the city again put on the colours of football four years later to welcome the World Cup again.

Darjeeling Diary – Morning Sun & the Cup of Tea
The night was peaceful until a loud sound woke me up. It was like somebody knocking a door with painful urgency. It was the rains. I had only short meetings with the monsoon of Darjeeling despite being well into the season but now it seems she has come with full energy. The tin sheds of the room just below my window was making the sound. These were meant for the staffs of the hotel. I don’t…
