Enchanting Sikkim

Going on a vacation to the north-eastern states where I could see the snow capped mountains, mingle with the locals, visit the Indo-China border and the best part take a Yak ride was always one of my dreams.

I am glad that I could realize my dreams. Most of the credit goes to my sis who funded the trip and her colleagues. It was a 10 day trip to Sikkim. Now we had a itinerary as per which we would board the train on the 27th September from the Secunderabad railway station. Now blame it on me that I reached the station 5 minutes late. I was huffing and puffing along with my luggage. However all my efforts were in vain and my poor sis had to let go off the train due to me.

An Appeal

The recent floods have caused a lot of havoc and distress in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. I appeal to the readers to help the affected people by contributing to the flood relief fund. One of them has been set up by the Times of India. Also the ICICI bank has a provision for people to transfer funds. Whatever the amount through our actions we can atleast mitigate and lend a helping hand to the people in distress which will go a long way in rebuilding their lives.
