Mirik-My birth place


For every human being, birth place is the place that he/she always remember in lifetime. Similarly I too have much love and care for Mirik because I was born in Mirik.I was born in small village called Zimba Gaon(under Gram Panchayat of Mirik Busty School Dara-II)which is around 5 kilometer from Mirik Bazaar. Zimba gaon is named after Tamang Zimba who has majority of people there.I love Mirik not just as I born in Mirik but Nature has her own creation for this beautiful place. I still remember when my family visited to Mirik during Puja vacation between Oct-Nov of every year. We spent 15-20 days in Zimba Gaon.My father worked for WBSEDCL(now he is retired person) at Jalkhaka Hydel Project(under Kalimpong Sub Division of Darjeeling) he got winter holidays so we visited atleast once in a year for Zimba Gaon.


I remember enjoying fresh and tasty drops of Orange. In Mirik Busty people cultivate orange as a source of income and orange of Mirik Busty is world class in taste. Suppliers send the orange from Mirik Busty to places like Siliguri, Kolkata etc. My grandmother always reserved one tree for us(me and my elder bro) with atleast of 25-30 oranges. WoW!! we ate a lot ...

Since my father worked in Jaldhaka so I was unable to visit the place more than once in a year and thats only during puja vacation. I remember playing BHAILO and DEUSI during DIPAWALI with friends. For others who don't know about Nepali Culutre, BHAILO and DEUSI are cultural sing and dance act where male persons sing the song describing victory of RAMA(Hindu God) over RAVANA and his victorious return to AYODHYA. We visit every house in our locality in a group of 2 to 10 member and give AASHIRBAD to family and describe victory of RAMA by singing and dancing. BHAILO and DEUSI are famous in Nepali community and one of the most interesting and enjoying cultural acts. I miss a lot because I can't participate BHAILO and DEUSI for last 6 years.

Every year when we went for vacation to Mirik we visited Mirik Bazaar and KrishnaNagar. Mirik is famous for Sumendu Lake, Indreni Pool, Boating in Sumendu Lake, Feeding fishing in Lake, Cottage on top of hill, Buddhist Monastery, Tasty Momo and Thupka,view of Kanchajengha. Earlier there was a beautiful garden in KrishnaNagar but it was destroyed during time of Subash Ghising rule. Now there is huge playground at same place. Artificail Lilly flower also removed from the Lake. We enjoyed a lot when we went to KrishnaNagar.


Since 2006 I was hardlly visited Mirik becaue I came to Kolkata to work here. It is now 5 years in Kolkata but still I love my birthplace so much. Child memories of mine always knock me to visit Mirik again and again. Hoping to visit my place soon.
