Achchuchu…

The mercury is plunging with a vengeance and Gangtok shivering hard. Official data informs that max temps were 6 to 7 degree Celsius below normal today. The weather-underground website informs that temperatures came down to 2 degree Celsius in Gangtok on Friday and it sure felt like freezing weather as Gangtokians salvaged every scrap of wood to fire up some ‘bonfires’. The litter of wood scattered by the windstorm of Sunday morning helped warm up many conversations, even as erratic power supply kept many hearths cold. The forecast does not hold any promise for sunny days next week either. Let’s hope the met guys are wrong like most other times…
