Majitar, Sikkim
After Kalimpong, the next destination was Majitar, the fastest-growing urban village in Sikkim. Majitar has a diverse ethnic population, and Nepali is the most prominent language, although Hindi is also spoken.
While driving by the highways, I stopped at a Maggi point while starving. There, I met a musician like me, crazy and energetic. We eventually jammed roadside and sang raw in a freestyle impromptu session. It was a two-day trip, and with my desire for grandeur, I decided to stay at a beautiful and luxurious resort. I was offered to perform at the resort by the pool. It was not much of a good experience.
People were swimming, and no one was entirely paying attention. It was pretty embarrassing and disheartening.
But I didn’t lose heart, and the evening turned out to be pleasant. It was quite a starry night and gratifying. I performed, and some people joined me, and then we sang along. Some also sang their folk songs like Nepali, Bengali songs, etc. This is how I spent my two days there.
Because of the last two hilly destinations, I got scared of steep mountainous roads which are dangerously curved and sloping. So, I had to cancel my plan for Gangtok.
But, with core memories, I set out for my next adventure!
