Trip to the land of pearls

It's been almost three months now that i am in college. In Bhutan, if we are in school, at this time of the year we would be expecting for the winter break but here in college, in India we are getting christmass holiday though we buddhist donot celebrate. We have got about 15 days and few of our friends decided to go on trip to Hyderabad popularly known as the land of pearls.
Hyderabad city at night

 It was 6 hours journey from our college, moved at 12p.m and reached there around 6p.m. As soon as we stepped out of bus, a group of auto drivers was forwarding towards us with an  uneven staring. We got up with two of them as we were eight in number and they landed us in a standard hotel as our friends described. The next day, we started our journey around Hyderabad. First day, we went to the wonderful shopping mall where all kinds of things were available in effective prices compared to other shops. At one moment i felt like i would buy the shop itself getting attracted towards the beautiful  clothes, shoes and various items. I got hold of  2 jeans, one formal pant, 4 t- shirts, 2 collar shirts, 3 socks and a shoe. That was for my body, rest lots of other items ate up my pocket visiting other shopping malls. Our day ended with shopping itself, going here and there, not getting up well with auto drivers, stuck in between the numerous vehicles, crossing the road without the traffic signal was almost impossible, watching the vehicles itself gave me pain in my eyes. Bhutan's population seemed more than India's vehicles. We reached weary in our rooms, got hold of remote control and browsed through the channels. My eyes  and ears got enraptured with a man with a headphone and a recording mike infront of him singing the song ' why this kolaveri kolaveri di'. It was the song getting sweetly into the ears of most people not only Indians but other foreigners too.
four towers(charminar)

 Next day we woke up with a sweet tea and a shower and headed to our next mission to visit the unique sites. Firstly, we went Charminar which means 'char-four' and 'minar-tower', four tower which is listed among the  most recognised structures of India. Its 149 winding steps almost made me vomit but reaching above and giving my eyes the scene of big Hyderabad flashed off my sickness. We did some flash on pictures, met a guide who was explaining us about the history of it, took round of it and reached back down. Next we went to the snow world, a place where snow had been made artificially temperature regulated and giving the sense of being in a mountainous place. It had been a long time since i have enjoyed playing with snowballs and snowman. We did snow fight, danced as the music was also on, took a coffee and slided upon the long ice skating route and all this thing made me remember my childhood memories in Thimphu changangkha during late 1990s when i was just 8 years old, i would bring a cup and fill up the cup with snow, make it into a shape and store it till it would have melted into a liquid.

Thirdly, we went to i-max where wonderful playgrounds were available. Most wonderful was the scary house, it was dark inside, we were holding eachother but could not see, dead bodies were made artificially, eyes bulging into red fire, various scary sounds were coming from nowhere, it was really scary actually but was a funny experience too..haha..Then we went up to a Mc Donalds to fill up our stomach, had some eating programmes with pizzas and burgers..yummy..it was. Next we played various games and in the mean time i won a small doll...Hurray! i shouted, but not loudly..Night fell within no time and we were back to our hotel rooms. The other days was a day without not much things to do..we went to a chinese restaurant where the propieter was a chinese and his shop's speciality was 'momo'. Wow! i didn't eat momo for a long time and i gave my satisfaction  to the fullest. My friends went to do some shopping but three of us went back to hotel as we were quite tired. Harry potter ate me up the rest of the day as it was luckily on the channel. We decide to come back to our college the next day as our purse was giving us a negative signal though we wanted to stay. Early evening we got into bus and reached our destiny at around 9. Was a memorable moment..
Thanks to the christmass holiday..
merry christmass to all.......

Always there with you

Seeing the beauty of your beauty
Thinking it not to be illusion
I give myself a smile
For i get sad for not able to see  you
My mind isn't in my control
Lost in inner self,i have got no way


In the core of my body
Lies a precious diamond
Though my luck is shortened
That my diamond cannot be given
No help could my luck provide
Sad it is
Togetherness not fate it is
Nor marriage is written in it
Uniting of souls and soulmates
Life it gives,the one with true love
Sadness is not to be meant
Fate isn't there with us
Though love would always shine within
Forever and forever!!!!




Will be always waiting for u!!!

Journey through the mysterious world

A scrawny young boy with almost rounded face and  circled bespectacled ,having shiny black hair marked uniquely by lightning shaped scar to the right of his forehead.He is living with his cruel aunt and uncle along with their fat,nagging son,the dudleys who is always against his happiness.But one night, during  his 11th birthday,a huge man, giant structured with long beard all over his face comes from nowhere and ends up giving the shocking news to the boy that he is a wizard and he has been called upon to the Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry for learning magics.That was a blow to the dudleys as well as to the boy but a joy of delightness ran through his body.



I am talking of non other than the mysterious Harry Potter who has brought evolution to the fantasy world.Harry Potter became my friend since i saw him first time in the television carrying a wand in his hand and making all sorts of things to fly automatically.I grew up along with Harry and his best friends,Ron and Hermione.Along with Harry,i enjoyed the first journey inside the magical world,saw the Diagon Alley,got a wand,sat under the sorting hat,played Quidditch by riding onto the broomstick. Harry introduced me to different witches and wizards,met with the charming Dumbledore,Professor McGonagall and the scary professor Snape. and the arrogant Draco Malfoy along with his two sidekicks.Starting from the series of Harry potter and the philosopher's stone till the end of Harry potter and the Deadly Hallows,Harry passes through the mysterious journey and the quest for various questions he had in his mind.Sacrifices,drama,emotions,magics,actions,enemies and romance is all through the story and along with them i am also one of the character hidden inside every character.I saw Harry fighting with the Quirrell,server of the Lord voldermort who killed Harry's parents, for the Quirell wanted the philosopher stone,Harry getting warned by the house elf Dobby not to return back to Hogwarts,trip inside the flying car and uncovering the secrets behind the chamber of secrets.With the help of the time turning device,Hermione saves both Harry and the buckbeck and along with it...i see myself flying at the back of the hippogriff where the prisoner of Askaban Sirius,Harry's god father also gets rescued.
Even in this magical world,occasions like ball where he needs she and she needs he is been shown wonderfully and here i get to see the real beauty hiding behind the scrawny Hermione where the romance gives light to Ron's heart. Unexpectedly,Harry is amongst the champions to compete in the triwizard tournament.....i see him struggling against the monsterous dragon,flying as fast as he could with his broomstick and winning over the golden egg.
In on setting of his fifth year,i see a new professor for the defence against the dark arts,Dolores Umbridge whose evil power increases in the school which the students cannot not bear and tries to form a secret group called as'Dumbledore's Army' to learn defensive spells.Here, Harry gives new face to his heart as romantic feelings arises for Cho Chang.Harry comes to terms that he and Voldermort are to kill eachother in the end.Harry comes to know about Tom Riddle's past and learns the Voldermort's intention of creating seven horcrux.In the last page of Harry potter series,there are lots of mishappenings going on,good as well as bad,love as well as tragedy,but as is in many stories,happy ending is what all want and in this also,good wins and evil,lord of dark fails with the end of Voldermort.Harry getting into new life with Ginny and having a happy family and Ron as well getting married with Hermione.What a story it is..it was...and it would be....for every one of us who has grown along with Harry and his Hogwarts family.
Through all the journey that Harry went,i was always with him,in every corner of Hogwarts school of magics as an imaginary figure,not seen by anyone but was a shadow of all the characters present in the series. Harry took me to a new world surrounded by all sorts of unexplainable creatures and thanks to J.K Rowling that i can imagine about the things not seen in real and create our own beauty land. Journey into the world filled with all witch and wizards,wands and spells,conversation with deads,trip with animals having human head,talks with animals left me with a new world inside my mind which would be ringing every time i hear about Harry.Harry potter series mite have ended but the story continues in my mind forever with my own thoughts.....
Harry Potter fans all over..........!!!!!

Like a gust of a wind

I came into this world in 1993.As a tiny toy,small and innocent i was handed over to my mothers hand.My mother would have given a simple smile staring at me but a great joy running inside her.Just like any other new borns,i would have been desperately searching through my mother's chest for the milk and may have had sucked it as if i have stayed hungry for months. After that chapter 1 of my samsara life started germinating.I passed off the topic of indermediate state of birth and god has given me this life to wash off our previous life's sins and be helpful to all sentient beings.




                                   

I stepped into the school life to be included with those who are to be called as an educated person  and those who are to be considered as having great knowledge in the future.Reaching 6th grade,i wondered,when i would be like those who are carrying thick text books and are given respect as seniors.Within no time i saw myself in the secondary school.There,i remember doing various activities such as joining scout clubs,participating in dance competition and performing literary programmes. I got through the two years that i spent in the lower secondary school and now i was amongst those who would be studying science divided into three categories.I was worried and doubted whether i would really be able to cope up with the critical theories of biology,head spinning equations of chemistry and various logics of physics.However i managed it and i even got through BCSE.(class 10 board examination). After that, time put me up to the main turning point of my life which would decide my future,BHSEC,class 12 examination.When i got really weary looking at the books,i asked myself,when would i be able to join college,when will the time come for me to go to study without wearing uniform and when will i get to make girlfriends without any hesitations......etc..???Anyhow i again got it through and NOW i am in college BUT its just the same,same thoughts,same feelings,same life and its the same ME.When i rewind back my time,i feel it was just yesterday that i entered school and now i am 18,almost to be a man.My parents usually said,you have grown so fast without my notice and that's for sure.We don't realise things happening around us. No wonder, now i am mostly worried about my job and the time i will go to shopping using my own pocket money But one day it will occur to me when teeths are all fallen down,hair gone white,a long stick in one of my hand and back crooked and i would ask...when did i go to my last picnic and what all things did i do in my life so fast??that time, it would be the time where we would have reached the doorstep to be received by the deadly members of deaths and to be going through the intermediate state of death.....and that time we would realise...LILFE IS TOO SHORT......LIKE A GUST OF WIND...it has passed.........!!!!!!

Memories never to come back

Fresh,cold and chilly air,i could feel. All around me,beautiful thick,deep white snow, falling only once in a year would take me to the heaven...i would enjoy all the natures luxury there. Spreading its purity all throughout my body giving me the essence joy of dirt being cleaned away,chilly air from my nose and mouth goes inside washing off all the impurities sheltering inside my trillion cells.. Unexplainable delightness would run through me coming to see snow once or twice in a year and i would rewind my life 10 years back..

During winter,in one of those days,i would open my eyes and jump to the window just to find out how bountifully the snow has covered the entire area under his rule with its warmth of whiteness. Without washing my face,i would put on some warm robes and go running outside without putting on the gloves because the profound joy i got while touching the snow without gloves didn't give me the same feeling with gloves put on.As if walking on the foot path of paradise land and as if someone far away is waiting for my arrival,i would love the sensation of stepping on the soft white ground and would keep on moving linearly till i come to find a long line of alternate foot print while turning back..That smiling face i made while making the snowman inserting two marbles as his eyes and a thick stick as the nose, that laughable moments i shared with my tiny friends while playing snow ball fight till our hands became red hot and numb,that memory where we would go running inside rubbing our hands and without removing of the snow particles from our clothe,we would just go and sit near the bukharies and heaters only to be found with wet floor and  being scolded by our parents..hehehe..
Rejoicing memories it was,which has now become the old copy of my life but still my lips stretches into a smile flashing back those every hour,every minute and every seconds i spent with the nature.When would i have the same time come again so that i can resurface those wonderful time spent with my fellow friend  snowyy!!

 I wish i had the time machine so that i can switch back the time and enjoy those days of my life to the fullest with SNOWMAN and SNOWBALLS.

Seems i am also getting into the world of writing!

Am i really writing?ahh...yes! writing was not something which interested me but few months back i came across one young man which was one of the known and appreciated blogger among the bhutanese....he is a very good writer,i would say a fantastic writer! he is around 20 years old,two years elder than me and he has really inspired me to get into the world of writing. He has even published a book during his stay in his school and gained popularity among his friends and teachers. Actually he is non other than my friend monu tamang. We came to know eachother fews months before when we were placed in the same college for our further studies. He is from tsirang and has passed out successfully from damphu higher secondary school and now he is doing bsc.physiotherapy on government scholarship. He is simple and a very helpful friend of mine. Since the time i came here,i saw him most of the time busy with internet.i wondered what excactly he was typing so fast and spontaneously.Slowly after coming to know him well,he told me about the blog facility and how his thoughts were written down into the web,so that everyone around the world can read him and give him comments.He was really enjoying it and as i came to know more,i was also getting into it.

I started to read his blogs as well as his fellow bloggers' blogs,including our opposition party's blog.he was also one of the popular bhutanese blogger and they delighted me with their wonderful writings.Not only me but he has even inspired ngajey,also one friend of mine to put up his collection of poems and stories into the blog.He was just happy to do so!There were lot other and all have put up their wonderful skill of writing in it.After having look over theirs' slowly i asked myself,shouldn't i give it a try?? I was hesitant as i doubt my level of writing would not match with them..but still i want to give it a try.i hope all the readers would not mind to my english standard of writing and rather hope to receive comments(good as well as bad),so that i can improve.
Before i end here,i think i should introduce myself.My name is Kinley Wangchuk and i am from Samdrup Jongkhar,shinkhar lauri.I finished my class 12 from Motithang Higher Secondary School and now doing bsc.medical laboratory technology here in novodaya college on government scholarship.

So i end here.I would like to thank my buddy Monu Tamang for inspiring me and hope to get more inspiration from other bloggers.

 TASHI DELEK.
