As I reminisce

I was in a room, alone. Winter was cold. The night was completely silent. On the topmost floor of the hotel room, I suffered, covered with a thin black blanket.  It was emotional suffering. The place was known to me before and yet it was nice to see that it hath changed within those past few years. The year was about to end. It was to the end of 2013. I was at Trashigang, on the way to Mongar for my Job Training. 

The brand new 2014 was a welcoming call when I was involved in my professional training. I was at Lingmeythang, Mongar. 

Wonderful birds...

Started by January, with motives beholds must

Little chirping birds and the sunrise and set busk

That was the moment seize, beauty of stunning birds,

Innocence of little girl, old granny, and granddad.

Takila, else tall thy stand, I upon my life feels lucky

Yet February, thou tell the tale of January, I feel wacky.

 At the start of February I felt wacky. I went home to meet my parents. Lucky it was; my village is connected with a road, and unlucky I was—no vehicles plied on the day I went home. I had to walk for hours instead.

Visit to Takila and nearby places at Gyelposhing

Sweet wench in hamlet, a night hunter shall not fear

Thy fragrance, wooed with sweet tone, overwhelmed with love. 

When it was time for February to say goodbye, I had to report back to my college for the last semester. It was wonderful time to unit again with friends. Yet again, March welcome with fury to struggle like horse with heavy loads. Marathon for the last semester with project works, tests, assignments, viva voce, and project reviews, writing conference paper begun. It was challenging to escape college life as quickly as possible. 

But for my best buddies, we were always together

Jigme Tenzin, now lecturer at JNP, he the proudest

To shower his unending philosophies,

Draw forth thy argument, Thinley Tobgay;

Finally, we shalt think on prating whilst study.

It was a good time passed with good buddies. 

 

The college life~

Not everyone finds studying engineering to be their passion. It was a hard time that passed with hard work. When I received my graduation certificate, I felt a sense of relief.

Simple A3 paper brought much smiles and glory

At the very end of June, thus new challenges activated. 

July went by with me thinking about whether to prepare for the entrance exam for the Royal Civil Service Examination or not. Finally, August activated me to be more august in its new beginning. 

 

Graduation day~

Much hated with no option but to face,

In between contemplation, it was yet again a step ahead moved.

After the preliminary exam for RCSE, I travelled to Tsirang. Tsirang was a wonderful place to live. It was where I discovered happiness in society through strong bonds of kinship. 

September was busy preparing for the main examinations for RCSE. Finally the big day rushed in. Exams started in the middle of the month, and viva voce at the end of the month of October. Again, it was the moment to relax and enjoy. 

With nothing planned to do and engaged, I travelled to Paro and spent a few weeks enjoying the takeoff and landing of airplanes. 

 

College days, with friends

I went to Gelephu in the middle of November. I was invited to teach construction management for university graduates at Nyenjor Institute of Technical Skills and Human Value. It was the best month for teaching and learning. 

In In December, the last month of 2014, I found myself increasingly worried about my results. The big day came. Yes! I made it through RCSE. It was a sense of relief and overwhelming joy. 

 

With my student trainees

I resigned from the institute on 24^th December. At the very last day of 2014 I got my appointment order from the chairperson of RCSC. I chose to work with the Department of Roads under the Ministry of Work and Human Settlement. 

Thou art shall frame a journey welcome.

The rise and fall art in arena of thy existence,

Rough and fair by its nature become.

The same shall be 2015 profound

Players’ art complete to play lovely life beyond. 

2014 was a wonderful year.
