A nasty weather greeted me here this time. I distinctly remember the number of days that it rained last year I was here, and they were so few! But look at this season! Fortunately it was a pleasant day today. By pleasant, I only mean no rain! It was cold and windy, and that is what Chicago is known for anyway.
I had registered on this website www.zoomin.com which basically lets you upload your photos and store them. But the main business of the website is to allow you to print those photos and deliver them to your place. And on registration I got a discount coupen for 25 free prints. It also lets you to import pics from Picasa and Flickr.
So I imported my pics from Picasa and ordered prints… 25 free prints! All I had to pay was about Rs 30 shipping charges. The delivery took less than 48 hours… and here is what I got… ofcourse along with the pics.

After so much of planning, and so many disruptions, the much awaited trip to East Sikkim did materialize. Frankly speaking, I have no words to describe the experience. It was just awesome. I had been to Sikkim in 1999 and trust me, it no longer looks the same. Gangtok has been completely renovated and made into a truly world class Hill Station. It was the first time ever that I was amidst fresh snow and played a lot in snow. I also had the opportunity to experience the first ever Snow Fall. It was absolutely beautiful. Roshnai’s presence made the trip the most lovely trip I’ve ever had. Not to forget Golu and Bollu. :)
