Four years in this college in the sheer pursuit of knowledge. Days have gone and fast there is nothing forever that can last. Shy and timid at first , like a bud who is supposed to burst. Over the time things have changed, though with  some  not even a word I exchanged. met the students from any race, excel in their duty like an ace. Came across girls  cute and  pretty, feel like you are in new York City.  Envy those couple at eve  walk, in contrast, girl I dread let alone talk.  College is a big time privilege , out bound from home like  on pilgrimage. Sometimes we  are rich and lavish, often  broke and almost famish.  Friends are like rainbow and dazzle, sometime they are source of our hassle. Best part of college is the freedom, away from parents and Kingdom. its a journey along path of  emotions, happy, sad ,angry and so on, this way four years I came on, soon away have to fly like swan. ...

I was in the hospital for some check up as my stomach was not feeling well since morning. In the waiting hall, there was a child. He was playing with a toy and was lost in his world. He was a handsome child, but his clothes were dirty and his nose was filled with phlegm. Something about that child fascinated me unusually. I couldn’t question my instinct; some divine like power brought me closer to the innocent kiddo. I went near to the kid and asked his name .He said, “ne gi ming sonam enn la,”  ie. “my name is sonam”.  I asked where his parents were. I was told he has only mom and presently went to get some medicine, I knew it was from the dispensary.  I fished my pocket and found some chocolates, gave it to him. He was excited and interacted more. I asked his whereabouts, he was from zhemagang. Just the prior day they have reached  to Thimphu. They came to meet his dad, he said that his dad was very rich and has a big job. i said “well nice to meet you sonam, see...

In the wake of recent discussion in the parliament about whether or not to establish slaughter house has sparked an immense debate among the various citizens. In a Buddhist country like ours, where the fundamental principle of living is empowered by love and compassion, the push to establish a slaughter house depicts the   greatest   irony of all time. Regardless of the various benefits that the slaughter house is viewed to provide , its has hurt the sentiments of many devoted Buddhists and central monastic body in particular. There are even widespread rumor that the country will sooner run into chaos and misfortune since the news has provoked our gods. However not every people is against the idea of setting up of the slaughter house. There are considerable number of people who thinks that an import on huge meat products from India should be banned, rather emphasize on a producing a home processing unit that can ensure clean, reliable and timely meat products. Its appare...

With onset of summer monsoon , the grasses are growing lushly . Everywhere looks green , the playground is carpeted with lushness too.   The trees are showered and look afresh. The rain removes the dust from the road   making it very clean .   students carrying colourful bags and books are outbound for college. Since there was a mild rainfall in the morning, the prognosis of a sky burst made many girls to open up their umbrella. The campus look amazing with dazzling   umbrella walking in all direction. The air is resonated with laughter and merry   vibes from the   classroom. Somewhere not afar , students are singing their hymns in height of devotion. The salvation is in the air too. The gardener is engaged in weeding, he always ensure that an   aesthetic decorum of the college is   kept up to date. The fruitless tree stand erect in an orchard, except for some golden bers. The field has been prepared for cultivation of gladiolus in the upcomin...

I am doing intern in NOP  National Organic  Programme, along with two of my colleagues. All of us were so excited and eager to join the office anytime. Personally I felt lot apprehensive about joining service and it was my first time experience.  Still studying in college I feel strange to office or service life. I have to pretend like matured man,act like a officer or  walk the talk like any other officer. But my blood is stull vibrant and filled with college livelihood. To put out point blank I am not yet  ready to join service.  At least  we are fortunate that our coordinator is very frank and amiable lady with premium qualification. From the first day itself she arranged One  room for us. Three tables and three revolving chairs were provided. We rushed for the best chair and sat playing like a kid  .It was awesome to sit and roll from one corner to another on the chair.  However things ain't always pleasant like we anticipate. ...

Major pest infesting the crops during this season is an armyworm. Notably found in every farmers field and in orchards, Lawns etc. It's creepy to see massive number of these worms crawling all over the lawn ,on the roads and in vicinity of house.  The insect posses an eyesore characteristics. They have dirty appearance and disgusting body . Since they come in large number like an army,  they are frequently  stepped over by humans or ran over by cars . Already they have ambushed all the grasses near our house and are  resilient to turn back. They crawl over the concrete floor and even enter inside . Being saga dawa this month is sacred and we are forbidden from any killing and destroying of any lives regardless of the magnitude of their infestation. It's a big irony because,this season is time for growing veggies and paddy cultivation. We have to decide in becoming a sympathezer or curb this pest infestation. my biggest concern is that if we don't act outright the...

I was all alone asleep when  night mare shook away my sleep. Immediately I reached for my phone and looked at the time ,it was 2.30am. Room was very dark and silence was as dead. Cacophony of Barking dogs filled the air outside.  I remembered people saying that, dogs alone can see ghost at night hence they  bark relentlessly. My bladder felt like bursting, scarily I visited the washroom.  Telling myself it was just a dream ,nothing to get scared, this and that ,gave me some strength to sleep again. But my sleep was short lived and the nightmare struck again. It was like continuing a horror movie after an  intermission. There was a guy with no face ,grabbed me by neck with both his hand .He wanted to take me to his place and could be done only after killing me first. I was deprived of any strength and my body was paralyzed.i tried to shout out loud for help but I was dumb. All I was able to do was chant 'oma hum"by heart .I was grabbing every opportunity to scr...
