Making Dreams Come True


On the banks of Little Rangeet lies a beautiful place-  Bijanbari, a major town for the Bijanbari- Pulbazar valley. The two places are quite famous, one for its historical importance (Pulbazar) as it was one of the largest Haat in the district after Matigara and the other for being a major educational and business center for nearby villages. (Bijanbari).

70th Republic Day Celebration at Pulbazar 

The valley has produced many talents in each and every fields in the past. The year 2018 witnessed the emergence of many football stars.

The first one was Srijal Rai from Pulbazar who is currently in the youth team of the Reliance Football Foundation in Mumbai. He recently went to training in Spain for a couple of months. We all are hoping to see him in the national team very soon.

The next was the popular name not only in the valley but entire Hills - Manish Subba. A 23 year old  from Pulbazar was a part of Football's Next Foundation team to be selected for training in German's top flight club Frankfurt FC.

Another young champ who was also selected by the German Scouts for training at Frankfurt FC is Bishant Rai from Pulbazar.

The entire valley is very proud of these young champs.

So, to inspire young kids and to give them a platform to showcase their talents Bijanbari Pulbazar Gram Panchayat started coaching camp for the children from 8 to 15 at Bijanbari. The camp started from 25th December to 31st January. Mr Kushal Subba, G.P Secretary, took this wonderful initiative. Mr Manish Subba and Bharat Subba whole heartedly  trained the young aspirants. Around  58 players turned up for the training camp.



The coaching camp mainly focused on the physical fitness and game of the players making sure that it is the most enjoyable, fun and exciting introduction to football, they could imagine with no pressure, no fear of failure and maximizing their learning. The coaches provided the players with the detail of the techniques required to play while encouraging players to express themselves on the pitch as well as to develop their understanding of the game tactically.

Mr Kushal Subba said, " The coaching camp was more successful than we thought. This is the first of its kind in the valley. We are hoping to conduct such events in future as well"
While the football fever in Bijanbari was on its peak, Pulbazar was buzzing with the preparation of 70th Republic Day Celebration along with the Under 15 Football Tournament. The tournament was organized on the initiative of Pulbazar Gramin Pustakalaya and Young Pulbazar. Around 16 teams turned up for the tournament. The main focus of the Tournament was to give platform for young talents. The tournament was successful to a great extent as many young players showed their talents and their potential to perform at the highest level. The winner of the tournament was Teens Football Academy, Darjeeling. Mr Pranai Gurung, manager of the Teens and also the Treasurer of Darjeeling Gorkha Sports Association marked this event as very helpful and well organized.



The two places which are situated only by a distance of 2km- Pulbazar and Bijanbari. But their motive of giving platform to young kids and nurturing their talent do not differ.All the youth of the valley are ready and excited and planning more event of such kind in future. 
Our children are born with innate talent which remain hidden and are never used as we are ignorant and the child is pressurised into giving up his passion. But people need to understand that though education is  must, we should encourage children to develop their talents and follow their dreams.




This was a small initiative to make people aware of our talented kids and a small step towards making our kids understand their passion and building it. We should encourage our kids to follow their dreams and give them a platform to sharpen, showcase and use their skills under the best teachers we can provide.

This is a small village trying to spread the message of dream big without thinking about the small place you belong to.Every child should be encouraged to dream big and achieve their dreams.

We should organise more such camps for all round development of our kids in every field like football, basketball, badminton and not to forget may be spell be competition or quiz or essays.. Lets begin a change in trend and encourage our kids in every field and who knows we might have a Bhaichung of our own, or a Sania, or a Saina, or may be a Vishwanath Anand, and we might even have the first Indian Gorkha President.

 So lets dream big and encourage everyone to dream bigger.

TRAPPED- The First Taste (Part 1)

It was another boring and tiring day for Basu. The hectic schedule at the office seemed to add another bitter taste to his messed up life. The clock on the wall struck 1 am. Basu was lying on his bed thinking of something, something which has not been going well since last few months. From the time his girlfriend, Baani, left him his life has completely turned around. Since then he has become less social and seemed to have a good of friends with loneliness. He tries to sleep but his eyes are wide awake. He then reaches for his mobile lying on the table, next to his bed. He stared at his lock screen for hours while tears rolled down his cheeks and memories flooding his mind. He unlocked the screen and still kept glaring at his mobile. He scrolled through the pictures of those wonderful moments, they shared together making promises to stay together for a lifetime. He could feel her presence everywhere. Every second of his life, everything he did, it reminded him of her. She was a...

REMEMBERING OUR BELOVED SIR SARAN SUBBA

"He had the heart that cared completely. He had the smile that brought so much pleasure. He had the love that brought joy beyond measure." Saran Sir with his family Yesterday, my day began with scrolling the news as usual but by the time the day ended, I was sad and lost because we lost a person who was very very dear to us. Sir Saran Subba left for the heavenly abode on 19th June 2021. The intimation of the demise of Sir Saran stands as one of the most disappointing and darkest days to the people of Pulbazar. The void he left behind will never be filled. Sir Saran - a man of principle, a wonderful teacher, a social worker, a sports enthusiast, a leader, and the list goes on. Moreover, he was a loveable and a gem of an individual. Sir Saran always carried a big smile on his face. In fact, I never saw him angry and I bet no one else ever did.  Sir Saran Subba representing Pulbazar Shuttlers Association in Veteran Badminton Tournament held in Bijanbari (2021) I was fortunate en...

UNTITILED

She is the sunshine, I'm the sun. She is the thunder and I'm  the storm. She is the sea, I'm the shore, She is the poetry and I'm the metaphor. She is the king, I'm the throne, She is the muscles and I'm the bone. She is the shoe, I'm the laces, She is the deck and I'm the aces. She is the word, I'm the letter, She is the story and I'm the teller. She is the book, I'm the pages, She is the sentence and I'm the spaces.
