"Life is like a Ferris wheel, sometimes you are up. sometimes you are down. In the end you just have to learn how to enjoy the ride".
The Ferris wheel in Jaigoan reminded me how important it is for us to have fun in midst of stressful never ending work which at the end of the day only strains our mental health. Jaigoan is the nearest town and a business hub in the Alipuduar district in west Bengal, India which connects to Bhutan gate. The only foreign land that every Bhutanese visited for shopping and trading of goods freely. However, The covid-19 restriction imposed on commuters kept us away from Jaigoan's fair (in local terms Mela) and missed out on the best of amusement.
As a kid, I remember going with mom and dad to Jaigoan to ride those machines for amusement and mostly returned with a thrilling experience. Then all the way to college, I enjoyed and never missed out on Indian's Mela in Banarhat as it was the nearest Mela to Samtse College of Education. The Fair in Jaigoan will be on a bucketlist for 2023 and all the years to come.
