Gangtok...

Many years ago,
I lived in Gangtok...
I used to find everyone there very cheerful
at times, they came to me for treatment for lacerations
I could suture their wounds many a time without local Anaesthesia
and all through they kept smiling
they had implicit faith in me and my treatment
and yes, I could never forget the natural
rose hue on their cheeks
I could never find even a single girl
who was not beautiful
I could never find a single person there
who was not polite, truthful, simple, innocent and cheerful
and yes, they could really dance and sing well
without any training
it comes naturally to them...
