This was my schedule for the weekend gone by: (And was it a fun schedule!)
Saturday morning: Clean up my house to make it presentable for friends visiting Sikkim (from Bangalore)
Saturday afternoon: Cook dinner for 7 people, hoping it will be tasty enough.
Saturday evening: Recieve friends at 5:30 pm, take them for a short walk around the place, including a visit to the Hanging Bridge. The bridge was already swaying under the load of a dozen people taking in the cool breeze. I tried not to look downwards through the gaps of the wooden planks and tried to ignore the river flowing underneath in full force. Winkie tried to kill me by scampering after a stray dog on the bridge & I had to hold on for my life, even as the bridge swayed dangerously. I could have gladly strangled both dogs, pet & stray after I got to solid ground.
Saturday night: Lived up to its name. We ate, drank and became merry. Good music, singing & dancing followed a most fun evening.
Sunday morning: Headed towards Changu Lake, a.k.a. the placid one among the snow capped mountains. Walked along the length of the river, along with the other yaks carrying tourists; it was actually snowing, so happily strolled in the snowfall for the first time in my life! Nearly froze to death somewhere near 4 kilometers off the Nathula-China border; the cold weather brought in ’due to the fresh snowfall’ it was later explained. Spent the rest of the day visiting flowers in bloom & roaming in the open air Gangtok ‘mall’ at night.
A good weekend spent; now I realize there’s more to life than watching TV 
sounds good fun! the pic of Changu (or is it Tsangu? always confusing:D) somehow made me nostalgic. i miss hanging bridges, just felt the chill, it sends through your spine when you look downwards through the gaps of the wooden planks. i clearly remember the fear of death that resurfaces with every step you take right above the furious Teesta.
i agree, theres def more to life than watching TV or surfing internet. outdoors are always rejuvenating. esp. the ones where you feel in sync with the mother nature is soulful. more to such soulful times! cheers!
I think its touted officially as Tsangu but Changu is more pronounce-it-like-it-is, isnt it? Revisiting nature in itself is so rejuvenating. Its amazing how much Sikkim has to offer when you see it through a visitor’s point of view.
