Untold Sacrifices of Parents are Unpayable

Parent's love are immeasurable and their sacrifices are unpayable. Whether office bearer or a farming men, responsibilities are equal for their children. They all look for common opportunities of pride children would bring. Some may spend to buy expensive one but other may not fail to buy cheap one as well. It is their wish to provide what is required for their children's education. So, they do work hard to earn penny by penny.

Collecting dry leaves and debris amass, fodder and forage heap up to sheltered and feed the cattle. Ploughing fields through terraces with organic vegetables grown to make three meals a day possible. Sustainability was questioned in your absence. This is a story of a farmer residing in the far-flung hamlet with small family.

Tired of daily farming and other physical exertion yet undaunted happiness exist when everyone in the family smiles and remain satisfied for the day. With prayers of gratitude for happy ending day and hopes for better tomorrow drags your exhausted eyelids to fall asleep. That’s how days goes on and you moved on with unwavering hopes and strength.

with my dad

Breaking the hardest rock along the roadsides and sawing the toughest wood through the forest, spending nights under the caves, beside rivers and inside thick jungles with altocumulus sky as blanket and fire to be warm and escape the danger of darkness. You have risk your life sometimes to earn a penny. All this selfless sacrifices you have made are for your children to get education and family to exist. 

Education brought me through the complexity of outside world into knowledgeable society but your values ensured me better life. You expect nothing than to have good children away from modern abuses. Wanted to make your children realize the fruits of hardship and lead an exemplary awe-inspiring life of selflessness.  

My family

As an elder brother, I have tried my best to become one of your kind but little sacrifices I tried were incomparable. Can’t find ways to pay gratitude just then to say, “You are a hero of our family”. 

Distances let me be helpless today, when you called me and say that you are sick but I always wish and pray for your quick recovery, my dad. Hope, mom is helping you through all’s of your life as always. Missing you all and see you, until then stay hopeful and strong as you always are. Amen!!!

Trip to Golconda Fort

Golconda Fort was amazingly beautiful and baronial. Monumental structures out of granite with battlement all around let my mouth agape in excitement. I was doom by the city chaos of traffic and certainly was looking for silent refreshing high hills. Walking and climbing till apex of the fort and taking snaps through four corners of Hyderabad trying to point out the directions of our hostels and colleges was a happy moment. 

Out of curiosity, browse through little history and found out that Golconda Fort was capital of major province of Sultanate (Muslim country in the past) and was first built by Kakatiya dynasty. Golconda derived its name from Golla Konda in Telugu, meaning “shepherd hill”. According to legend, a shepherd boy found an idol in the area and when it was reported to the Kakatiyan king, he ordered a mud fort to be built around it and the following rulers keep extending the area. Today, it covers around 10km circumference and 400ft height which remains India’s most magnificent fortress.

I wonder about the huge granite rocks dressed perfectly and used over high walls which is impossible even with the modern engineering tools and wonder most when I see the strength it holds for many centuries. So, the aesthetic view is of no question.

People with various religion and from different region are visiting the place with full energy. Some with material offerings, some with prayers and many with just digital cameras. Full blink of eyes all over, sometimes breaking into dashes among unknowns yet everybody was friendly and walk away with beaming smiles. I came to realize the blessings of such a great fort over happiness of the people visiting the place.

In the midst of click and snaps, I overheard somebody saying about Bollywood film “Tere Naam” being shot inside the fort. I downloaded the movie and watch it out of curiosity. Salman Khan in coma was in this fort for religious treatment when medical science proves no live. Finally recovering was the blessing but Bhumika Chawla who died unknown was his another misery.

Whatsoever, trying to live and adjust with different environment was not so easy for last few days. But the hopes for betterment gives me strength to move on. Thank you Bhutanese friends for organizing get together party. The dinner was special and introducing new friends after a kick from little drinks were awesome moments. 

The trip was enjoyable and sights are amazing. And this happens all because of you all. Thank you all once again.

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.
