LIEBSTAR BLOG AWARD

Unlike others, this is a new thing that i have heard although i came across once but didn't give my notice on it. Well, when my friend Monu narrated about the great delightness of having been nominated for the Liebstar award, then, did it cross my mind how prestigious thing it was for a blogger to have yourself nominated. 
It is a sign of achievement and it shows how our writings have touched the hearts of others and dipped the seed of appreciation for it to grow more and more.
I thank those, who came up with such kind of initiation which not only encourages the bloggers to write more but also inspire them to be an inspiration to others.

Mr. Monu Tamang, i solely thank you very much for nominating me. I feel privileged and only a writer will understand what happiness it brings in us when our writings are recognized. As you asked, i would like to answer the questions that you have put up on me.

1. Description of my blog in 3 words.
    Memoir: Excitement, anxiety, happiness, sadness, hilarious, whatever strikes through the journey of my  life, it is an album where i capture my personal experience which gives me immense joy while writing. It         will be a delightful stimulus in future, when i flip back the pages of my blog, i would see my lips curving up     while reading those of  my funny post and cherish in experience back those foregone sad moments which i  would have written down.
  Friend: A friend indeed where I pour the juice of my happiness and tears of sadness into it. A shoulder where I lean when I feel broken and a hand which I hold during celebrations and excitements.
  Freedom: I can be a Walter Mitty, Harry Potter, Amazing superman or an X-man in my blog. It takes me away from  reality and I can cherish in being  lost into fantasy world imagining myself to be whatever I wish through the freedom of my words and imagination.

2. I describe myself as:
Lovable: I am not praising myself when describing myself as lovable but this is what most of my friends say and I too believe in it. The constant smile on my face which blooms out whenever I talk or meet someone for the first time seems to bring a charming impression to others.
Lazy: Very lazy indeed.I didn’t wanted to open up this character of mine but this is the most dominating one and there was no reason for me to hide. Generally, I am very lazy and it is something I am not able to get rid of. This is the reason why my blog had been vacant for months and months last year. Even to write something I liked, it’s my laziness which pulls me back. Anyway, soon to get rid!!
Emotional: Rolling down of tears is the thing which I have inherited from my parents, but a big baby crying is an embarrassing thing, so I have learned to suppress that nature, otherwise, I get emotional very easily. To the outside, I am very strong but only few knows how I delicate I am. Hehe!!

3.What is the motive behind your blogging? Or I would rephrase my question in this way, what do you actually intend to convey to the world through your blog posts?
Honestly, I do not have any motive behind my interest in blogging. Before I started blogging, I used to read the blogs of others mostly about the author’s personal experiences, about their adventures, their happiness, sadness  and that would bring great smile on my face. This gave me a feeling of  “freedom”, a platform where I  had my own power to speak out whatever I wanted  and whatever I thought. This was a path on which I could walk without any obstacle .So, I began this as my personal hobby where I would become my own writer, own painter, own artist and own photographer.
I do not intend to convey anything through my post. I am writing and moving on with  the sense of happiness and satisfaction it gives me. But even if unintentionally, I am able to give them informations, happiness and giving the readers a sense of freedom, then that would be my achievement of having to write in a platform where whole audience of world will be reading.


4. Within 5 years, I expect myself  to be successfully working in one of the Hospital of Bhutan. I expect myself to be enthusiastically involved in my work and finally see myself standing on my feet, independently and above all, paying back the love and care that my parents have showered upon to make me what I  expect myself to be in future.

5. In general, how do you view at your life? You may jot a few sentences on your attitude or perception about life.
Everything in life, whatever crosses our way through the journey of our life is a thick puff of cloudy smoke, an illusion which will disappear with time. One day or the other, everything in life sheds of their skin and die. No one knows when the millions of cells in our body will come to an halt and become ashes to volatilize in a place nowhere.
During the adventure of our life, the precious gift given to us, human life, unlike any other organism who can think and differentiate between right and wrong, good and bad, its an opportunity to live our life to the fullest, have fun and most importantly, doing something worth while during the given life span, not in future but present, being a good human being and a benefit to all living beings on this earth.

     6.Bhutan is regarded as the land of Gross National Happiness. How far does the philosophy comply with the real lives the Bhutanese people lead and what is your perception on this concept?
7    
      Guided by the strong will of our kings and effective measure taken to educate people about the Gross National happiness has certainly brought greater difference in the lives of our people and I would definitely say “yes”, GNH exist in our country. People might be of various status, some rich and some poor , that’s the rule of nature. But generally, how much poor or rich, Bhutanese people may be, everyone  has the sense of togetherness, helpful hands in need, civic sense and surely a good human being.
I        
      I profoundly appreciate this philosophy which was sowed by our 4th king in a way to equalize our country’s development with modernization not only with economic aspects  but also with Gross happiness of all people from within, not only for present but for future too.
     
7. Can you usher the youngsters who would emerge as future bloggers with some inspirational lines?

Blog is like the world being served on on your plate where you can explore your inner truths, your likes, play with it,  hit it, fight, cry and laugh. There is nothing on your way to block. It’s all yours. You will experience new by doing research, gain wisdom by connecting with other bloggers and learn about your inner self. You will see how gradually, you have changed over the course of time through the blog. You will cherish your life back then and life as of now when you flashback the moments of past and you will still have a journey to experience more in the future. Everything might crash down but your blog always gives you accompany whenever you want or whenever you need.

Note: If i am to nominate, then, there are many whom i wish to but rather i would like to take the opportunity to thank all the fellow bloggers for the inspiring put up on words and their thoughts which not only ushers the new bloggers to grow but gives an individual a meaningful way to move on with their life.

Valentine Special.

As i opened my facebook page today, new feeds filled my page with pictures of lovers, hearts, roses and status of "happy valentines day" everywhere. On the second month of the year, i see many girls getting excited about the valentines day soon to hit and they start preparing before the time to surprise their lovers. I have been hearing about it since i grew well enough to understand about relationships and knew the meaning of "Love' but i never did personally celebrate one.



In movies, i have seen the hero throwing a surprise party filled with heart shaped balloons to his heroine and the heroine fully impressed and touched, with her heart almost to burst out of her chest, squeezes her face with big smile and jumps over her hero to give a Big hug. In real, i haven't seen one nor i have seen people of Bhutan celebrating it. But modernization has taken a toll over and i can see now that i am in college, be it anyone, valentines day is a very special event for lovers( or just partner bearers). 
oooh....I love you soooo much!!! wink!!

I wonder if anyone wondered what exactly is the history of this day and how it evolved now that it is celebrated all over the world. I clicked on "wikipedia" to find out about it and came across many unheard words and terms which was very difficult for me to understand. It dates back from many years and seems the term 'valentine' is actually the name of a person. A christian saint named 'valentinus' from Rome , history and legends states that the man was imprisoned for performing weddings for the soldiers who were forbidden to marry. He healed the daughter of his jailer named "asterius" during his imprisonment and before his execution, he wrote a letter signed as "your valentine as farewell". It in not well understood actually how the day began to be celebrated.



As for the day, 14th February was the day the saint Valentinus was buried. I wonder how could the day become a day of romance, lovers and happiness when a person has actually lost his life. In England, it evolved into an occasion where lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers and sending greeting cards with handwritten words and soon the symbol used came to be what we use today, heart- shaped outlines. 


However may it be the valentine day in the past, presently, it is a bombastic event for couples, celebrated with full  fun and lots of XOXOXO.:)) And i too wish everyone and myself a happy valentine's day in this last five minutes of the day........

When trust is no longer left.


'Trust" is a word which comes to our mind when we share something very secretive about our self or anything to someone, a someone whom we know very closely and believe in him/her and feel rejoice sharing. Usually when we are happy, we tend to bounce up and down sharing our good news with everyone but if we are going through a tough period of our life filled with stress and misfortune,no one trustworthy and comfortable enough to let know our feelings, we dig a pit deep inside our heart and keep them locked inside. Suddenly a turning point strikes our way and we meet someone whom we feel so comfortable to be with that the door of hidden secrets is opened and we tend to share everything with the person clearing off the huge burden that was feeding off our thoughts of pure mind and happiness. We get totally engulfed by the comfort zone provided by the warm hands of the person that we tend to get fully depended upon the person. A small act of him/her matters a lot to us. A small mistake of them tend to leave a big print on us.Still then, we keep clinging on them ignoring the small act of ill behaviors and keeping moving with them. With time, when the hand of comfort zone gets dirty with the mud of fed up thoughts, then there, every rigid corner of trust turns delicate suddenly and falls into like a glass pieces on the hard surface of the ground. There, a new set of wounds appear and this time, caused by the same person which cleared the previous wound. and again, life keeps moving and again we meet another healer of the wound and this cycle of trust and breaking of trust continues.

Like a trash we fall when our trust is broken and like a spring, we wake up again when with time, everything becomes alright. we always forget that, all the people around are also human and no one is perfect. We expect the person we trust to be perfect in every ways and when unexpected occurs, everything is left with a dark stain of bad memories. We do not understand that the person whom we trusted would have also expected and trusted more from us which we might have failed to understand and finally land up getting angry without trying to get into the shoes of the person. Guess what, this is what life seems to be. Totally unexplainable and difficult to understand.

We trust someone very badly and the same person breaks it mercilessly. And the one whom we do not trust comes out to be very trustworthy, may be for a short period of time. Nothing is permanent, not even the thoughts. Friends to friends, brothers to brothers and especially between girl and a boy. A modern era with modern thinking, it is said, changing relationships like changing clothes, breaking trust, nothing seems hard i guess, no one damn cares what the world will think. 'Trust' has become a toy of fun, but the thing is, who ever plays it blindly gets wounded very badly at last. This is again something unexplainable. Everyone who is in this game is anyhow right in their own way. Only the thing which is common is, everyone is finally left with an empty bowl of painful memories to rethink.



Life is indeed unpredictable and  as someone said, "everyone in this world are pretenders". Very true, however may be the person at present, we never know what color we will bear in the future. Life turns here and there like a twisted branches that we got no idea, what situations will make us to do and how the life will test us.
