Sikkim was the most hectic of all. In our dear imaginary worlds, we all had imagined (and scheduled it too in a way) that it would be the most relaxing of all. The only two female species in the group had also managed to squeeze in some time to go buy the famous wool and carpets with the popular Tibetan dragons on them. But alas! that couldn't happen.
What kept us occupied were not beautiful sceneries nor the so warm and welcoming hotel rooms but the 'people'. Our team met people with similar interests and philosophies, doing there own bits in their respective fields. And anything we say about Gangtok wouldn't be complete without the mention of Cafe Fiction or Rachna Book Store. Thanks to Mr. Raman, the owner, we met so many interesting people, had intellectual discussions on art and design, cinema, reading and coffee brewing! Chicken Bomb, his very own recipe is something we all are gonna miss here in Delhi. And of course his careful collection of books.
In all six schools were covered in three days which included schools like Don Bosco and Taktse International, NGOs like Alpha Learning Center and Padma Odzer Choeling, schools in remote areas like Ivana Memorial School and Government schools like Encheui Government School.
