Art 'n Silliguri

After a really long time, I am back to my blog. Moving to Silliguri from Chennai has brought in a lot of changes to my life. What i would like to write here is about the artistic resourcefulness of this place.
Of the many things which intested me here Pottery, Cane furniture and teak wood carving are the most intresting. Very close to Ranidanga where i stay is a place called Matigara, here one will find a row of thached shops on either side of the road with some very intresting and intricate pottery work. Thery have a wide range of products from the common flower pot designd to the most amazing terracotta stuff.One piece which you would find in almost every house here is the winding bell, the wind chime.
Go further down towards Baghdogra airport, again a row of shops with men crafting the best of teak wood furniture.
My next postings will concentrate more on these.
