THE UNKNOWN FAMILY OF SIKKIM

THE LOCALS OF SIKKIM.

...

In any state I have walked people have always helped me out. But in sikkim help is very basic thing to them, what they do is even greater.

...

Frame 1.
The riders of sikkim.

While walking from bakthang towards rakdong, a biked stopped. They asked me if I need any help or to give a lift. As my answer was no, after getting to know i was walking around sikkim, we further had more discussion. Sir is a rider and rides his bike with his friend when ever he has time around north east of India.

After meeting each other and feeling a bond we both departed on our path, but yet After a while met again at a shop for chai break.

Our discussions got deeper where we got to know about each other's family, culture, likes and even political views.

In such a small time of meeting I found that the age is nothing a traveler is a traveler from heart and accepts every possibility and only knows how to share love.

...

Frame 2.
The acceptance of sikkim.

While walking from mangan towards chungthang it got very difficult. In a long stretch of around 8-10 kms I was not able to find any chai or food stall. The sun became to heavy to bare and I was almost about to quite for a day, right in afternoon.

Than I came across this perfect being. Walking on the road I asked how far is any Chai or food stall from here? He said more than 5 kms. He asked why am i walking ? After replying that this is what I do and I am covering India on foot, he immediately took me in his house like his own family.

He asked his wife to make some chai and some food for me. We sat in his house talking about feelings towards travel and beauty of sikkim and the world.

Just in a while the the chai and food was ready. I was fed like a family member. After having the food and resting a bit. I decided to start again. But without him and his family it was just not possible.

I have felt a lot of love but acceptance of such kind is even greater to feel.

...

Frame 3
The police of chungthang.

After reaching chugthang I rested at chungthang gurdwara for 2 days. On my second day I went out to see the place and have a chai.

On the shop Sir approached to ask if was the guy who has come walking from Gangtok. He told me he got to know from his fellow officers that there is a guy walking around sikkim. And later he was shown my Facebook to show my pictures by a local.

He said the me and the other officers are proud that we have people like you who really wish to travel and see who we really and what we stand for. We hugged and exchanged our gratitude towards each other.

There have been many proud moments in my life but this one was even greater.
