Living in Sikkim but Never Done Goechala Trek?

People from around the world spend lakhs of rupees and travel thousands of kilometers to experience Goechala. Meanwhile, many of us who call Sikkim home have never stood there. Have you?

Can you please tell me about negatives of living in Sikkim?

Hey everyone, i'm a dude from Delhi who wants to go really big in life and move out of this city anyhow, obviously to a much better state with good living conditions. I'm currently making 90k rupees a month working from office, but my goal is to start earning over 1.5 lakh remotely so that i can settle in some other state without having to look for a job there.

I have shortlisted Sikkim, Meghalaya as 2 of the states that have possibly the best weather conditions in India. I only care about weather and clean air honestly, because most states in India are boiling hot and it will keep getting hotter in the mainland India.

Can you let me know the downsides of a life in Sikkim? If Sikkim isn't good enough, then i will simply move out of this country.

Is there a cheating culture in Sikkim, or is it just a stereotype?

Has anyone else noticed that cheating seems to be quite common in Sikkim, or is it just a stereotype?
I’ve heard that extramarital affairs are super common here, and that cheating is also quite common among young people in relationships. Is there any truth to this, or is it just an exaggerated perception?
Do both married people and those in relationships cheat more often here than elsewhere? —genuinely curious!

Need a job

Hey, 

I am looking for any kind of job that can pay enough for me to have a shelter and food to eat 3 times a day, and also a Little time for myself. I have done my degree in electrical engineering although to be honest I don't have any knowledge in that subject, I have done masters in cognitive neuroscience in which I did perform proficiently and also finished a research internship at IIT mandi by submitting a research thesis.

I am looking for peace and some calm. 

Hope someone has something that can be a fit for me, if so please let me know in the com ments or dms, I shall send you a copy of my resume and hopefully I get what I am looking for.

Thankyou.

To Someone Who Probably Won't Read This

​

Maybe I just don't want the last thing I remember to be silence.

It's strange how someone you've only known for three months can leave such a big impact on your life.

At first, I was always the one asking if you were free or if you wanted to call. I never really cared because every time you picked up, we'd end up talking for hours. Sometimes four or five hours, sometimes the whole night. We'd talk about the most random things, laugh at the dumbest things, and somehow never run out of things to say.

Looking back now, it's hard to believe we once spent entire nights talking, and now we don't talk at all.

Back then, talking to you was the best part of my day.

No matter what was going on in my life, those calls somehow made everything feel lighter. My problems didn't disappear, but for those few hours, they didn't matter anymore. I don't think you ever realized how peaceful those conversations were for me.

You never really initiated calls, but you'd send me reels every now and then. I always looked forward to seeing your name pop up on my phone.

Then one day they stopped.

I still remember when you randomly sent me a reel after a long time. It was probably just another reel to you, but it genuinely made my day. It's funny how something so small could make me that happy.

I still remember almost everything you told me. Which is funny because I forget things so easily. You'd tell me the same story twice sometimes, but I never stopped you because I genuinely liked listening to you. I don't think you ever realized how much I enjoyed hearing you talk.

I still remember the dreams you told me about, the places you wanted to visit, and all the things you wanted to do. I always thought I'd get to see you achieve them someday. Maybe even help you with some of them.

I guess life had other plans.

I also remember the times you talked about your ex.

I don't know if you had completely moved on, but sometimes it felt like a part of you was still holding on.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous.

But at the same time, I was happy that you trusted me enough to tell me those things. I'd rather listen to you talk about whatever was on your mind than have you keep it all to yourself.

There was something I never told you.

I really wanted to ask you out someday.

I never did.

Maybe because I thought you were out of my league.

Maybe because I never had enough confidence in myself.

So I just kept hoping that one day we'd finally meet. Maybe we'd get coffee, maybe we'd just walk around talking the way we always did on our calls.

I never told you any of this.

I just quietly hoped it would happen.

I still remember when you told me you were a professional at ghosting people.

I laughed when you said it.

I never thought I'd end up being one of those people.

Then came that drunk text.

If there's one thing I wish I could change, it'd be that night.

The next day I apologized because I knew I'd messed up.

I waited for a reply.

It never came.

After that, everything slowly disappeared.

The calls stopped.

The reels stopped.

The conversations stopped.

At first I kept telling myself you were probably just busy.

Then days turned into weeks.

Weeks turned into months.

Slowly I realized I was the only one hoping things would go back to the way they were.

Then on my birthday, I saw your message.

You wished me.

You probably don't know how much that simple message meant to me. After months of silence, the fact that you still remembered my birthday genuinely made me smile.

Sometimes I wonder how you're doing now.

I wonder if you've finally found the peace you were looking for.

I wonder if you've done the things you used to tell me about.

I hope you have.

I'm not writing this because I expect a reply.

I'm not writing this hoping you'll somehow see it.

I just wanted to say thank you.

Thank you for every late-night call.

Thank you for every random conversation.

Thank you for every reel.

Thank you for trusting me with your stories.

Thank you for becoming a part of my life, even if it was only for three months.

I hope you get to do everything you always wished to do.

I hope life gives you everything you've ever wanted.

And if I'm being honest...

Out of everything I miss, I think I miss hearing your voice the most.

Take care.

I booked tickets to New Jalpaiguri to go to Gangtok for a few day in July 20/21st and return on 25/26. I’m now scared about landslides en route NJP to Gangtok (NH10) due to Monsoons. This is also my first ever solo trip. Should I cancel the tickets or go ahead with it?

Spsc

Is anyone else as confused as I am about why the SPSC hasn't released the BO result yet? The SI exam result was declared within about a few days, but it's been much longer for the BO exam and there's still no update. Has anyone heard anything official, or does anyone know what's causing the delay?

Creepy police

Idk if anybody has had similar experiences but I wanted to put this out there because it has happened with me and with multiple girls and women I know.
Has anyone ever come across or met a Police Instector named Sovit(idk his surname). An extremely creepy guy, whose behaviour, apparently has repeatedly crossed professional boundaries. I’ve personally witnessed and heard from multiple women that he often approaches girls on the road and starts conversations as if he already knows them, making us feel extremely uncomfortable.
What’s even more concerning is that a colleague of mine told me that he reached out to her for no professional reason other than wanting to be “friends” through the number she had provided while filing her GD at the police station. Those numbers are given for official purposes and not personal contact!!!
I’m posting this to ask if anyone has had similar experience because I’ve heard multiple woman share similar stories about this man, police are meant to be the people we turn to when we feel unsafe. Women should never have to question whether reporting an incident could expose them to further discomfort or harassment. Public trust in law enforcement is built on professionalism, integrity, and respect.
