New place new life and new beginning

 Its almost running two months since i stepped inside the campus of National Service Academy Project Jamtsholing , Samtse. I still find difficult to believe that I am here working as Bio-aesthetic Officer . Every thing happened in fast. Packing things and leaving gelephu was quite emotional. So many fond memories with amazing colleagues have been created there , hence it was heart clenching to leave all those behind. Series of farewell showered by them warmed my heart beyond measures. I remain truly thankful to them. But destination is matter of choice than a chance or perhaps both. This post of bio-aesthetic officer seems to have awaited me all this while. So many things have already transpired for this post and eventually it has offered itself to me. Perhaps , god knew my passion for flowers and heard prayers that I occasionally offer. More importantly, the journey that lies ahead is what makes me anxious . Massive project and directly accountable to His Majesty The King. This projec

The summer

The night is over casted with rain soaked clouds. A short flashes of the lightening; let us see the dark clouds floating across the sky. It has not been long since there was a heavy rain earlier but for now the sky seems to have put on a halt. There are lot of frogs around , swimming in the puddle formed by the rain and mostly in the water-filled paddy fields. These frogs make so much of noises as though they would not get chance to croak from tomorrow. Except for them otherwise the night would have been very quiet. Some say that the frogs in actual are singing to seek an attention of their partners. But somewhere afar their noise could have already awaken a sleeping snake or a wondering owl.

The water runs down the road creating a stream and carrying everything it could on its way. It drum

covid -19 duty

A little drizzle is falling on the roof of our hut, As silent as a cat, prowling for a cat. It is dead of night and the silence is surreal, An owl perched atop the lamppost is eerie. Occasionally making flight to catch those helpless moth, Gathering around the light from the lamppost. The drizzle has put out the fire that I have lighted, The last ember from the burnt bamboo is dead too. Any attempt to rekindle the fire would be futile Making it more opportunistic for the snakes, rodents or elephants in case if they desire to make a rampage. Anyway that's just my imagination running wild, This might happen or might not . There is a bigger fear that we stay awake for, Unprecedented help that the nation calls for. To fortify against the entry of covid- 19 that is lurking around, it must be contained like a fire when it is small. A beam of torch lights flickers from the other outpost, I do the same to notify them that we are wake. So far so good and no sign of any unauthorized trespass
