How I wonder what you are ?

The blinking stars neighbouring the moon are our greatest friends condoling the concealed sorrows of our day to day life. If you are suffering from depression or loneliness, reach your rooftop in a full moon night or lie down in a lonely sea beach engulfed with the bright rays of moon and watch towards the twinkling stars far away. Close your eyes for a while and think about the person you are missing in your life and then open your eyes and stare at the stars miles away. The flickering stars, as if whispering to your ears about the whereabouts of your love and speaking to your heart that all is well. Just the way, the moon alone keeps shining everynight besieged by the glimmering stars signifying the shimmering hopes needed for our survival in this world, we need to smile in our small journey of life creating a sky with millions of stars glinting optimism inspite of the flowing sorrows. You need a big heart to be a well wisher for a person who walked away from you. But the...

A day as a green grocer in a gloomy Sikkim Village. Organic farming and Terrace cultivation in Sikkim.

It was 7 am in a Sunday morning as I reached a small gloomy village of East Sikkim bedraggled with the monsoon rain. The Lepcha village girl having a small vegetable shop in the lonely curve of a mountain was waiting for me with the morning breakfast and tea.

Just behind the shop, there was a steep slope at an elevation of 7000 ft. above the sea level and we could see through the thin layer of dangling mist, a thread like twisted river flowing through the dark green valleys.  The simple village life of Sikkim has always  created inquisitiveness in my heart. While marching through the isolated undulating ways with hardly any signs of population, I have seen small shops of vegetables on the road sides with th...

Paranormal activities. Do you believe in Ghosts ? If yes then read this article. otherwise ignore.

Image
From my Paranormal Activity Diary based on my experiences. They exist between you and me. They subsist infront of our eyes, in the same locality or place perhaps where we stay. We feel their presence. But we human beings do not have the capacity to identify them because our eyes can only support two dimensional vision. That's why we sometimes find the cats, dogs or animals making odd and untimely chaos in late nights. Just because the animals, particularly the dogs have seven dimensional vision supported by their eyes. And those about whom I am discussing are also having seven dimensional vision. The best way to identify them is by keeping a cat or a dog as a pet in your home. Remember, these pets can easily detect their presence and that's why when everyone sleep, they make noises because they can see and feel their existence. Yes, you are correct. I am talking about the supernaturals. I have never ever underestimated the facts about their perseverence....
