Thangzor-The Heaven

Flat hilltop with summer meadows and cool breeze winter wind that swallows up the ill mood and let amiable happiness blossoms in the heart of living beings. The abode of Thangzor, the heaven, thus derived its name from its beautiful co-existence with nature. 

Rumors says, the place is cremation ground and beliefs to believe that there exist demon and monsters appeared. History to agree with when I see the existence of Chorten to subdue and diminish the power of demonism. Therefore, Royal Bhutan Army choose the area for firing practice. Later the couples choose to date to cherish their relationship. This place remains silent and isolated accept for couples and RBA trainers for they need privacy for their secret means. 

When in the verge of transition of human existence into modern era, the modernity believed no beliefs. So, the decisions to create the place into sport complex and residence for the resident of JNP made the real change. The place emerge out of isolation and become the trip destination which appeared more beautiful. 

 

Thangzor

Several occasion, Sundays and holidays are the times for families for dry picnic and friends for casual walk with casual talks. Couples for romance. They all select this place and choose to stay until spectacular sunset. Unbelievable was I then to realize my wonderful peacetime staying there was God-given when I start missing every moments I spent at this place. 

Dear elders, your advices are considerate, decisions are thoughtful and companion are wise and memorable. Never moved so far and when I do, I got adoring memories to cherish. I have been good friends to everyone, if I wasn’t then at least I tried my best to be one. Believe me, because I got friends of equal genders without age limit. Kids to play with and share intellectual innocence to learn new things. Friends with secrets and big secrets of all the Ara and Wine. Sweet smell of wine letting into sniff and sip and swirl through the buds and throat resulting into expectorating sometimes. Secrets are to be kept within and words are to be spoken. When Ara is well known for unlimited words then secrets got no place to hide and bury. This is what I meant by saying, the best buddies ever I had and you got to called Thangzorpas.  

Residing and taking refuge of Thangzor with peace of mind and happiness for last one year, I undoubtedly with pride would like to say Thangzor-The Heaven, the best residence of Jigme Namgyel Polytechnic.

Fleeting Glimpse of Ten Days at Hyderabad

Every journey begins with missions and there are sacrifices to be made. It’s hard to leave behind beloved friends and family. It’s harder when I have to face traumatized behavior of new people and place. I was excited taking flight with bliss experiencing completely new feelings but also sad to see the disappearance of beautiful valleys with meandering rivers and green hilly mountains. Landing at Kolkata and taking another flight to Hyderabad let me recollect all kinds of pollutions, noise being the most disturbing. 
 

Kolkotta Airport

I felt guilty unable to respond to the polite greetings of air hostess. There’s lot to learn from their politeness in our daily attitude.

Knowledge about JNTUH as premier university and toughest in academic prompted me to be extra careful and sincere was I then to be the first to report and do admission as international students but the idea completely bewildered me when we are asked to go back to our country and report back after one and a half month. Miscommunication among concerning agencies was then the cause of our suffering when they don’t have any support for accommodation despite our repeated enquiries and earnest request. Most irritating was when they kept us waiting and told us to come back the next day. With so much hope we exchanged mails with RCSC, EdCIL, RUB and JNP to help us convince JNTUH and get us at least accommodation to the earliest but was hopeless to learn there’s no accommodation which contradicts to their provisional award statements. Victims are we then to simply face the difficulties when everyone tries to be at safer side of their actions.

Travelling more than 50 kilometers a day by auto and landing up entering expensive restaurants for lunch cost us half of our 5 months stipend just to get admission letter and almost all our stipend gone when we finally shifted to our new private owned hostel which cost us Rs.18, 000 per month. Friends from my homeland staying here are kind enough to feed us with breakfast and dinner until then.
 

Nehru Zoological Park

Nevertheless, we tried staying away from those albatross sometimes and have good times as well.

We were received by Bhutanese working in Hyderabad along with few undergraduate students. Strangers are we to meet at Rajeev Gandhi Airport and went so close like brothers within no time. That’s the real charm of being Bhutanese, having to stay away from home. 

Visiting new places is what I always love to do and so the planning never fails. Hussain Sagar Lake with famous standing Buddha stupa was our first destination followed by Nehru Zoological Park the following day. Usually, Buddha Stupa and Churches are found where everyone can come easily for worship but here is business for some, entertainment for many and very little or none there to worship. Riding board was exciting but seeing the kind of strange scenario was abhorrent.

Nehru Zoological Park was big enough to compare with Thimphu City with diverse biodiversity. Creativity and hard work to create such amazing place was appreciable but sad to see animals and birds under fencing and cage like they are in the prison. Sacrifices of animals are the business of people and it’s very sad to see different world than I assumed. 

Zoo

I have also visited Malls and Big Bazars and Vishal Market is still on my list. There’s nothing we can’t get at Hyderabad but the money matters. For last 10 days I have been seeing the world so different and I am now preparing to look at it very differently for I have to adjust with this world for next two years.

Sad Man in Agony

                                                           I knew that I can’t love you.

I knew that I can’t hold you back.

I knew that I can’t be with you.

I knew that I can’t do all this with you.

I knew that I can’t achieved all this with you.

But still I can’t stop from ringing your cell phone to talk about.

I can’t stop from talking to you.

I can’t stop from sharing things with you.

I can’t stop from letting you know of my every moments.

I can’t stop from being myself knowing inside out with you.

I can’t stop from missing you always.

You know now that I missed you always.

You know I am known inside out for you.

You know many things about me that I am so sure of.

You know almost everything about me.

You know at least I am loving you still and also.

You know no possibilities of continuing relationship between us.

You know in fact there is no relationship between us.

 But still I knew you hate me not.

So I believe.

Our relationship do exist.

But it can’t be for so long.

Our connections may exist for long and forever.

But it can’t be as same as before

And no better than today.

At the end when everything known and understood in silence.

I can’t stop from shedding tears.

Tears in fear of losing you.

Though I know I don’t have any hope.

Hope that can’t exist at all.

Why this things are so strange?

May be I am becoming absurd.

May be awkwardness of my fate has come to its time.

May not be that but still regret can’t be.

For I know I can’t only blame myself for my deeds.

I can’t blame you anyway.

Why am scribbling all these nonsense?

May be am losing control over my emotion.

You stop talking to me and cut the cell phone.

I knew something happens to you for sure.

And that’s the truth I finally knew about from silence in strange.

And this is the truth that hurts me not.

Because I knew it this will be the truth.

The truth of true love.

Which hurdled made it impossible.

But time and silence made it understandable.

And am agonized by my love.

Am sad and sad and sad……
