Political turmoil and the Darjeeling Carnival 2007

Most of the volunteers for the Darjeeling Carnival are confused and worried on whether we can organise the Darjeeling Carnival 2007 or not. Cant blame them for their thoughts because the political situation in Darjeeling is volatile and confusing. The GNLF has been split into two and people dont know which sides to take.

We all feel that the show must go on as the Darjeeling Carnival is an apolitical outfit and we do not have any colours. We are here for the good of Darjeeling and we will carry on doing the good work. Cant say what the situation will be like in December but we still give it our best shot and move towards Darjeeling Carnival 2007.

Planning on meeting this weekend. Will inform everyone about the time and place for the meeting. Interested? Call me at 9434209887...samir

Darjeeling Carnival_a bigger family

Dear All,
Here's an email sent to the Darjeeling Carnival team by one of our founding members Karma who is presently based in Delhi. Although we drift apart as the years go by we still feel for Darjeeling and all the Carnival gang. We still miss Karma and her energy. Hope she comes back to work for Darjeeling some day soon...

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to a new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.

...............................surely this is what i feel shasheesh is about...a friend we want to remember forever .love to his family and to all his dear friends..."
