Hello everyone!
Hope everyone is doing good!, today i was just going through the old memories those were captured onto my phones storage, i noticed that the place where i was those days was heaven compared to all others that i have been to. I wonder why my mind is stick to a thought as to why do people from places like these come all the way to somewhere they have to strive hard to make a living?
Ohh yes, the photos which i am talking about was taken at my very own hometown "Darjeeling". People from all around the world come to visit this place just to experience the nature's touch. They enjoy, sing, dance, and sleep under the clear skies, and the rainy nights to get the feeling of what they don't get when they are at home. But ironic it is, to know that around 50% of the young generation leave this place and work at other places (metro cities) just to make sure that they grow in terms of finances and learning, but what makes them do that?
Lack of Employement: The education standards of our hill area is much better then what i have seen elsewhere, people are much more talented then what we find in the rest of the places, but besides all these what stops the generation to get a fastrack push onto the upcoming growth of our town. Thinking a lot about it, one of the point which hits my mind is Unemployment. Think of all those talent which right now is scattered all around the globe, creating new ideas, innovations, and much more. Imagine a person from Darjeeling, moving out of his house and getting hired in some company located in a metro city, works all day and night just to make a living. (His qualities being utilized by an unknown group of people, making no worth to him).
If we had sufficient work options and openings in our hills, then every son or daughter who is actually running various organisation and companies would be working together to the betterment of the queen of the hills, then the face of our town would have been totally different.
This is something that people needs to speak out about. Its understandable that we being "Gorkhas" are really brave in terms of fights and wars but "trust me" when it comes to tactical workmanship we are not at all amateurs.
"Please help me place this note as a way to make "high profile people of Darjeeling to understand the criticality of the current situation and do something for it, it its not for us, but for the coming generations."
