A letter to Kangchenjunga






Dear Kangchenjunga and company,

           Sub: A note of thanks.

             I would like to thank you and your friends for answering my prayers and finally opening up your immaculate views to me. The way you swept away that blanket of cloud around you, just when I was to leave your land, shows how playful you are. You kept me waiting for seven days. Each day I would wake up at 5 in the morning and would rush to the window only to find out that you are still draped in clouds. But I did not loose hope. In fact, each new day brought new excitement for me. I felt like a kid who rushes to examine his Christmas stockings first thing in the morning. I never gave up nor did I ever cursed the weather. Last seven days, the way I have contemplated over you, without actually having a chance to see you, made me know you inside out. And now in the end, only when I no longer had that desire for your view, you reward me with your beautiful sight.
In this land of Buddha, did you just thought me a lesson on non attachment with desires?

Pelling, Sikkim                                                                                           your's lovingly,
