Malaysian woman explores her love for Hindi movies in Darjeeling, West Bengal


The writer at the famous Toy Train station in Darjeeling. — JANE LAZAR

Watching Hindi movies during my early teen years allowed me to see the beautiful landscape of North East India on screen. Darjeeling and its “Toy Train” (Himalayan Railway) were some of the things that stood out for me, and it never crossed my mind that one day I would actually be there, riding the train myself.

My friend, Autar Singh, organised a trip in late 2019 and I joined him and his group without any hesitation. There were 28 of us, though I only knew Autar and his wife at the start of our holiday.
