Got Sandakphued! An off-road trail with the Jeep Compass
This is my first travelogue, hopefully it has come out well. Please feel free to give feedback and suggestions on improvements.
We did a Darjeeling and Sikkim road trip in the month of March 2021, this travelogue is part of it. Another travelogue will be shared on that complete trip, for now I will focus this travelogue on Sandkphu adventure.
It all started on Valentine s day. Normal way of celebrating valentines day -> take your spouse/gf/bf for a candle light dinner or gift, etc. JEEPers way of celebrating -> take your JEEP on a offroad trail with 50+ JEEPers and form a heart with your JEEP.
Tuesday, June 2, 1953
At 5.42pm last night, the Queen, cheered by a crowd 150,000 strong, stepped out on to the famous balcony at Buckingham Palace after her Coronation her beloved husband right behind her.
As soon as the windows leading on to the Palace balcony were opened, Prince Charles, wearing a Coronation medal, and Princess Anne darted out, waving excitedly.
Then came the Queen the Imperial State Crown still on her head; the golden bracelets of Sincerity and Wisdom still on her arms; her deep purple robe of State trailing behind her. Philip followed her first. Then the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret, the Princess Royal, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester with Prince William and Prince Richard, the Duchess of Kent with the young Duke of Kent in his crimson and ermine robe, and other members of the Royal Family.
Theres a proverbial saying -
Bangalir baro mashe tero parban which translate to Bengalis celebrate some festival or the other round the year. Heavily influenced by the English culture, the Calcuttans have long adapted to the celebrations of Christmas and the scenes of a brilliantly lit Park Street is a sight to behold. Schools too have long adapted to Winter breaks. The blessing of working (an otherwise mundane job) in an European MNC is - this old habit of holidaying during the year end break is easy! COVID didn t change the scenario much however we restricted ourselves to our home state this time along with following all necessary precautions.
