How hard it was to overcome the slumber I was enjoying under the thick (est) blanket Sunday morning when my phone rung relentlessly only to my agony. I answered in a husky voice
Me: Morning Boss
Boss: You still sleepin. You were supposed to be at ########
Me: ummm … Whheere?
Boss: Sikkim Festival
Me: Are you in a mood to gag? Sikkim? Now?
Boss: Diana, drop all that pretentions. Make fast to Sikkim Festival at Garden of Five Senses.
Down there at my door steps was waiting a Santro.
And there I was at the garden of five senses Sunday Morning. Here is the chronicle of my Sikkim’s knockout at the Garden of Five Senses.
Who could imagine the land of gompas and orchids being just 1,600 km from the capital? The Sikkim Festival Jointly organized by the Government of Sikkim and Times of India is more than puff of Sikkim’s magic beauty to phrenetic Delhi days. The two days festival is exhibiting the culture, ethos, art and natural wonder of Sikkim ─ the Abode of Gods. The indigene home of Lepchas, Sikkim is wrapped up in sheer composure amid the turmoil of North East disturbances.
The garden welcomed its guests with sound of drums, youngsters attired in traditional dresses and rows of swaying orchids in almost all hues. The duet snow lions, mangoes, Kiwi and other regional fruits in the garden of senses added enamour to the Sikkim Festival. The folk dances presented by Lepchas, Limbus, Nepalis and Bhutias marked the respect and attachement of each tribe for their native land, Sikkim. Opening festival speech was given by State Governor, B.P.Singh
