सृष्टि नै विभाजन्को विक्रति आफ्नै सँग लडी लडी भगवान बाँड्छौ , मन्दिर त बाँडी सक्यौ । धरती पनि बाँड्यौ बाँड्यौ , कही कतै एक एक टुक्रा , आकाश पनि बाँड्न थाल्छौ । स्वाँस लिने पवन हाम्रो एउटै हो , तरै पनि बाँडिएकै छ , पानी सबैको एउटै  छ , तरै पनि आफ्नो आफ्नै छ । कपास हाम्रो  एउटै छ , त्यो पनि विभाजन्मा छ , बास पनि सबैको एउटै हो । त्यो पनि विभाजन्मा छ , गाँस पनि त्यस्तै त्यो पनि त्यस्तै । निन्द्रा सबैको एउटै हो , कसैलाई दिउँसो पनि , कसैलाई छैन राती पनि । के ? के ? त्यो विभाजन्ले समाज मा नयाँ क्रान्ती ल्याँउछ ? यहाँ रगत सबैको एउटै छ , तर पनि त्यै रगत ले रोग बाँडिरहेछ ? सबै औषधी असक्त छन , जब ऐड्स्को औषधी अविष्कार भए , एउटा रोग त विभाजन नहोला । त्यसैले त भन्छु म सृष्टिनै विभाजन को विक्रती ।                                ...

Relation   You will come in my life, I never   thought so…. You will show me a different way, I never imagined so… You will teach me the meaning of love, I never visualized so… You will be my inspiration, I never dreamt so, You would value my love, and treasure my feeling, I never felt so… Then, suddenly “you will turn away I never anticipated so.” You will leave me speechless, I never believed so…. If relationship is like this, I would have known earlier; then I would have never loved so.   By:Miss Thinlay Pema Bhutia

By Prithviraj:  Increase in price of petroleum,essential commodities,taxi fares or simply put economics hardly finds any substantial analysis in any of the state dailies,weeklies or monthly journals.It is widely known that a small increase in onion price led to the wipe out of a ruling party in power few years back in one of the state of the nation.Ironically these issues simply fail to find any adequate place in our menu of discussions or analysis.Are we the those who do not understand and interpret or are we still naive enough to happily accept the monotony of tyranny and exploitation. The budget session of our Assembly is usually short. Constitutional platform for discussion finds no flavor for constructive criticism but merely performs an addictive function of introduction, passage and allocation of piecemeal legislation and financial transactions that are understood ,accepted and implemented by handful of experts  who adhere to the ideology of making   Sikkim  ...

 By Yozna Tamu Gurung: One of my friends told me that relationship is like a tango, a girl puts her feet forward towards the  guy and guy steps back and vice-versa , and may be that’s true. If we think about our own relationship, no matter how much we claim to love each other, when we try to express our feelings to our partner we do not get the response we were expecting most of the time, and oh boy, I can bet that they feel the same when they try to express their love to us.  May be many people in love would not agree with me, but let me ask you something, how many times do you feel that your partner does not understand your emotion???I am certainly not saying that we are unhappy in our relationship, however, what I am saying is no matter how “happy couple” we are, and how much we love our partner we are human being after all, and we human being expect a lot, especially from the one we love. We expect our partner to support us, understand us and so on but have we ever ...
