Hibernating Blogger Comeback

I feel dumb and mute for a moment when i write this post, being guilty at the most and making useless excuses to myself for not being able to provide air of literature to my blog for these long months.

My last post was on August 2015 and i went on an hibernating excuse for 5  months. But one thing kept me very busy for sure, the most important task of every student when they complete their degree, especially the Bhutanese .i.e. RCSE.
From the 1st day of your school where you shit on your shorts for being too afraid to ask your teacher for a recess grant, the time where you get thrashed hard on the palm from your Dzongkha Lopen for spelling wrong, your Geography madam rolling the floor globes to explain the concept of day and night, brain wracking theories and derivations of Physics and one question of differentiation and integration of maths covering up whole of you long notebook, getting a cross remark from your strict teacher; till the time where you walk carrying thick textbooks appearing to be a medical student for 4 long years in college. The journey of learning ABC to the knowledge of current profession, the fate of almost all Bhutanese student is all sealed upon on one exam, RCSE. High expectations from your parents push oneself to give their best because all your parents want is our secure future and RCSE gives you that. I too saw my parents sweat all those years to give me the best education possible and if i could see tears of happiness when i make it through, then i wouldn't have wanted anything else.

By God's grace and through my own determination, i broke through that barrier and nothing could give me joy more than seeing ocean of happiness in their eyes on 9th of December. I couldn't resist but scribble a long paragraph of gratitude to all those who helped me through the journey of that success and especially to my beloved parents.  

I desperately wanted to get placed in the capital for my parents were there but guess what! I didn't. I put faith in god consoling myself for i believe, "whatever happens, it happens for a good" and kick started my journey towards the eastern Bhutan. I grew up playing in the dusty sands of Thimphu and now, i knew my career adulthood was fixed in Mongar. Everything has a reason and i hope there is a big chunk of reason for i was flown  farthest away from west to extreme east. "Impermanence", once again stroke my mind when i had to wave good bye to my family and relative. A huge challenge lay ahead of me. I was moving into a place where i knew no one, i had no relative, nor friends and i am still struggling to fit myself in.

It had been the longest one month of my life.With some connection from my relative and a friend, i managed a small one room quarter. I had my Father accompanied for one week and setting myself well, i had to see him off as well. After that, the only sound i could hear in my home was my own breath. I would doze off time to time only to wake up and stare at the blank wall. I used to take a stroll around Mongar town and would be back home withing 30 minutes, yes! that was the size of the town.

 I understand that everything takes time and i am sure, i will feel better. I already started to feel so. I am removing every bits of opportunity for the crazy mind to wander around. Many a times, i have heard and read about the challenges people face during their first time venture into a journey unknown and i know, the time has knocked on my door now. Before at home, i didn't have to bother if the sugar bottle was getting empty nor i had to worry if the rice was finishing but now, as the month ends, i see myself getting concerned for those things that usually my parents did. I am learning to be independent and i see myself growing mentally in terms of handling the real life situations.

Well, i thought to cover up with few excuses(hehe) why my blog was lost but landed up writing about my first time experience into the new phase of my life. But, i think all those in my thoughts hooked me and seized my hands for a very long moment. I will not dissappoint myself or others anymore and keep the update for i got lots of things to write and share about. So, please keep visiting my blog.

Blogging Enthusiasts

Every time i come across a blogger's page who are new to me, i instantly fall for their expression of thoughts into words. Every blogger individually has different way towards the approach of words but the passion and ability for writing are equally strong in every bloggers.

Of late i have been enthusiastically reading the blog posts of Mr.Thinley Kuenzang(or Pelden Sonam Nima, guess he kept it after his daughters' name) from his blog web here. I didn't read all yet, i'm on my way and i 'm just struck by his way of expressing his thoughts, feelings, opinions on various topics and fields. His every post that i have read, i enjoyed it thoroughly. I came across his blog from one of the blogger's page and i'm trying to follow him but it's not working due to some problem with my account. I'm trying to figure out on that.
I made a line by line look onto the various labels he has put upon on the last part of his page. He has a great variety of choices for the readers.The labels itself occupies a think space below. He has  his own say and his own say gives way to different varieties of topics, be it family, work, nature, photography, politics, animal, love, life, news, movies, interest, inspirations, rules, law, anger, happiness etc. He had pulled the strings from all the corners and gathered bountifully into his freedom platform.

.
Similarly, for the first time, it was through the Diary of Passu, reading his life stories, incidence, opinions, feelings that my love of blogging grew. He as well has a very strong say on whatever topics he writes with a mix of few humorous languages which i like the most. Sir Riku's post always brought peace in me. He had always something fresh and heart touching . His Blog Page itself is so simple and light colored which exactly correlates with his post and his opinions on diverse nature topics. I haven't seen him changed his blog template ever since i started visiting his blog and i guess he knows that, there isn't any far better template to describe him than his current one. Abyss of freedom with my friend Monu who introduced me into the blogging universe is also an active blogger who has so many things to write. Within a speck of time, he would complete writing his blog whereas for me, it takes longer time. Be it political, personal or anything, he has always a strong point and his ability to bind words on words with magical rhythm makes me admire his work a lot. Like wise Sherub Tenzin, Sangay cholden, Tashi Gyem, Langa tenzin, Sogyal, most of the bloggers, individually has so much to pour out and i'm so proud of how much capable  Bhutanese are in terms of  one's expression of thoughts and opinions.

As of blogs aboard, i have no contact much. I have only come across Rima Reyka.., an Indonesian Chinese living in Singapore, a blogger who entered into blogging at around 2004 and till now has been consistently maintaining the blog almost everyday. Ever since, i read her first topic on Bhutan, i have been reading all her experiences being in tour all around Bhutan, to the places where i haven't reached also and her expression of emotions into simple words are indeed of great admiration. She has so many things to write everyday and with cute, funny pictures she attaches, her blog flavor seems much more sweet.

 Journey with Choki Gyeltshen is indeed so beautiful and peaceful. He is much more into photography almost regularly to post pictures. His magical pictures of animals, wild flowers, forest, trees are just astounding. With his images, i meet with the rich existence of flora and fauna lying in deep corners of our own country, learn their names and feel their immense beauty inside out of our heart. If you too wish to see...click here, i'm sure you would feel the touch too.

 Like wise, i know there are many more bloggers now as well as bloggers yet to come within the circle of our  own thunderous land  who has these similar  great ability with words and write ups. I haven't come across many till now. Above are few of those enthusiastic bloggers whom i appreciate a lot for their work and i go  through their blog almost regularly. Without a break, they have post chain after chain on diverse topics and it is indeed so great that because of them only, the blogging has become a recognizable personal activity to be cherished and enjoyed thoroughly at any time, anywhere, whenever we want.

 I have just joined two and half years back, and i have learned many things from blogging and bloggers and yet still more to learn, actually rather want to keep on learning with every new blogs i come across along with the current blogs i  follow.

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 4^th 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.
