My Message To The World!

Life, so uncertain and mysterious. Life has made each of us wonder upon our purpose and destiny. As we journey along, in doubt and in hope, the choices we make define who we are. Nothing is permanent. Walking our way through toil and perseverance, at times we gain and we lose the other time. Happiness can be found in the most obvious or the most unexpected things. Our entire life is squandered in accomplishing happiness, forgetting that happiness comes from within.

To be truly happy in life, we must learn to be at ease with what we possess. Don’t expect more. Help the needy ones. Learn to share and be obliging. In doing so, you will get that feeling of contentment. The feeling that will overwhelm you, make you shade tears and smile at the same time. The feelings of happiness that will make the creature inside the cage of your ribs feel blissful.

Life does not go the way we want it to. We may or may not be able to live our lives the way we want. But certainly, we will live our lives the way it is meant to be, i.e. to live together. People, know that we are all together.

Love to capture moments! Found so beautiful!

If you were mine….

The first time I saw you,

I was left gazing at you

Since then, I am waiting

But the right time just sailed.

                                                 

                                                 If you were mine,

                                                 The world would be mine.

                                                 Holding your hand, I would dance

                                                 I would keep you in my heart.

Out of this world you are,

 No one like you ever

How can somebody be so charismatic like you?

 You are an angel from above.

                                                    

                                                    If you were mine,

                                                    I would not be on earth

                                                    I would be flying,

                                                    with a passion so blind.

Wealth as the utmost happiness…but they’re not at least for me

Happiness is the contentment or pleasure one feels. Money and possessions can bring people joy but such happiness is short lived. Real and constant happiness comes from achievements, growth of skills and character, expressing creativity, freedom, peace of mind, kindness and gratitude we show and receive, and by loving and being loved. Different people become happy for different reason.

When a person wins a lottery or gets a raise in salary, she/he may experience happiness. With excess of money, happiness may increase but he/she will soon learn to adjust with the excess of money and may start to feel that the money is inadequate. In turn, the excess of money becomes a burden trying to maintain and secure it.

People associate happiness to the amount of money possessed. But certainly, that is not satisfactory. People get delighted at first from the brand new car that has been bought. But the delight remains only for short term and people get used to them. Human minds are adaptable. The desire to have more gradually increases. People are never all that satisfied with the money they have. Unquestionably, more salary makes people happy but that is immediate. People promptly amend to the new wealth and all it purchase.

It is observable that wealth is such features in one’s life that if its quantity is less, people are likely to suffer. And if it is more, people find it complicated to deal with. Money creates divide between rich and poor. The rich become richer by making use of natural resources and cheating tax. The poor ones remain as it is. More money can make people feel superior while poor ones are made to feel inferior.

Happiness comes from within and not from having luxurious things. It is just self-satisfactory. Happiness brought by money is short lived. Frankly speaking, I find happiness in doing things rather than having fanciful gadgets.

WHO AM I? WHY AM I HERE? WHERE AM I HEADING FOR?

“Who am I?” The question is undying one. If I don’t answer, I may never be able to decide between what my fundamental self wants and what other people influence me to want. I try my best to answer it for myself however the answer prearranged by others do affect the way I approach this question. The answer of this question cannot be found in a person’s religion or in the society they are brought up in, but it is found in a person’s heart and soul.

When I recollect my childhood days, I have dreamt of joining so many professions. Sometimes doctor, other times engineer and army officer at times. I never gave a thought to my inner self. And at times when I did, I found it complicated and dreamy. I have always been known for having lively personality. A girl with full of life, smiling and making others smile along with me. But that never contented me.

Everyone, who enters college, initiates a new life. It does not matter whether one was stupid or introverted; college gives everyone a second chance. A chance to become someone diverse, someone she or he always dreamt to become. College teaches us many essential lessons, which are not certainly found in the curriculum.

Now, as I am here in the college, the quest within me has been finally conquered. Now, I know myself. I am a kind of a girl who loves to talk, argue and explore things. I am a girl who admires working on her dream. I always wanted to explore things, communicate and bring about changes. Now I know my purpose. I have an aim. I want to become a teacher. I want to impart the skills and knowledge that I will acquire while my stay at Sherubtse. And this will be an on-going process. I want to grab every opportunity that approaches my way. Here, I get inspired by my tutors, especially by Mrs. Sangay Tshechu and Mr. Dorji Wangchuk. I want to become like them. My passion is amplified with the inspiration I have. I have the potential and as well as opportunity.

After coming to Sherubtse, I have come to know that there is an always bigger and better thing available. I know dedicating another two years in studying is not an easy task but it is completely reasonable to question the meaning and sense of coming to college. I am hopeful that Sherubtse will empower my imagination and enlarge my skills. I am on my way to explore and accomplish my dreams. Deciding the occupation as a teacher has been set in stone in my mind. Undoubtedly, I am progressing to construct a brighter future for myself.

And the world’s going to know your name!

 

My nephew, Yoeuhuang
 

What can Y actually mean? This question intrigued me for quite a while. It all started when my eldest sister had her first baby. I mean her only one so far. I was curious to know his name from the very beginning. My first question after her delivery was concerning his name. She winked and said it was already decided. To sustain my curiosity she just left with Y. “It starts with Y,” was the mystery for a dumber like me. I was restless because the only words that came in my mind were ‘You, Yourself, Yesterday, Yeller, Yeti, etc….

It was unfair on my nephew’s part because all sorts of selfish words were related to it. True to be me, I stormed in and demanded to end the mystery. She smiled and whispered, “YOEUHUANG.” For a moment I couldn’t move. “YOEUHUANG?”…. a word meaning ‘Prince Charming’ in Subba, our dialect. I was left with lopsided grin. That little boy chuckled as he sucked his mother’s milk.

Suddenly, the letter Y took a new perspective in my life. Maybe Y could be ‘Yours, Young forever, Yummy….’ We always take things our way and build up notion on anybody or anything. We exaggerate little things and think it as the only way but most often it’s in waiting and taking the other way round that can make us see the better things in life.

 

Life has lots of gifts and purposes. Who knows if I had not known Yoeuhuang- my nephew, my perspective on Y would have never changed.

Although I regret for not having been to write good essays with better Y words but nevertheless, I do now. A popular adage has it that “You maybe late but never too late for anything.” I look at my cute nephew’s picture and all I can say about Y is ‘Yield, yearn, youthful and Yippee....’ and many more.

Unfolding Mystery….Worth it or Earn it!

I don’t know how my life will take the shape. And I never want to know. I was not meant to be like this. I was a kind of child who was so ambitious. Yes, of course still I am today but the perception has been little misdirected. Time has changed everything. The perception that I used to have has been wear and tear. I cannot retain it. Time has made me weary.

Life is so unreliable and cruel. Difficulties don’t come when we are willing to face it. But it comes when we are unaware of it. My father got brain stroke in the year 2009 and he got paralysed. It was during my examination. I was writing my class IX examination. The incident made me numb. My family were all dejected, especially my mother. Her better half was lying on the bed, half dead. I was sad and gloomy.

Maybe I am wrong. Maybe I misunderstood the lesson of life. I want to take things for granted. Now I know and I am confirmed that life is not trustworthy, I don’t plan for the next moment. If I do so, I know that untrustworthy will overspill me and I will be miserable. I don’t want that. Within me, I make sure that I adore the very moment and live to fullest.

I am inspired by my father and his strength of mind. He is still half paralysed. His right hand and right leg is distressed and do not listen to his brain. They are devoid of life. But he has hope that someday they will be thriving. At least, a little. I wish his hope be contented. But I know, this will not happen and he does so. My mother does each and every ritual in a hope that someday her better half will get well. I know she is tired. But she never sighs. Their love is wonder.

At different point, perception takes different direction. I used to think that life is a fairy tale. The ending is always happy but I was flawed. Reality does not contain fantasy. I remind myself that everything has a purpose in life. We are the one to discover it either positively or negatively.

It is not that I am mad with my life. I love my life and people who are part of me. I want them by me all my life. It is not possible, I know. I am worn-out and exhausted thinking my wishes never get fulfilled. Life isn’t so easy. You just don’t worth it, you earn it.
