࿑ When you look back; there will
be beautiful things to ponder upon. I have an old album that was maintained
long time ago during my schooling days. When I open after many winding years
with so called technology, I find beautiful things adorn in it and short good
stories born out of old photos. It is beautiful reminiscence indeed!
His Greatness
The first topic for the series is dedicated to my great
father who value life in being a simple human being with dignity and honor. I
remember his boldness in heart to be good, no matter what the situation is.
Little Buddha nature, he considers he has and what I consider great. Never someone like me will find safe place to get loads of blessings and be a proud son.
On the first page of my album, I see him with camouflage
semblance. It was in 1990s. He was recruited for militia training at Samtse, when the country faced interethnic conflict.
The tears of fear shed down continuously from the eyes of
innocent mother. The little toddlers were left watching the sadness of his
departure for the country. That time was time for nothing to my grandparents,
mom and villagers, but a fear. Fear to be killed. Fear to be gone forever. Fear, whether they have the fate to unit again!
With no option but with carrying the heart to serve for the
larger interest, he reached Samtse.

The story is interesting. He grins when he narrated the
whole story. He even opposed his commander. He was indeed sad and angry for
mass punishment, the military rules.
One day they were punished severely that he vomited a lot
and he was frustrated. He suddenly stood among the troops and yelled out harsh!
“I haven’t come here to get punished payable to someone’s
mischief. I have come here to serve my country not your punishment. If you
continue punishing in the name of others, I don’t want to continue. I want to
leave. I have left my kids back home. I am not a permanent troop. Even I can’t
do penance for, if I am morally wrong to go against you.”
He remember, from that day, Dasho (commander) was
totally silent and they were not punished much.

I am impressed and grinned when mom defy his deed. He was
ethically right to go against.
