Covid pandemic has caged physically and the academic
workload has sealed mentally within the boundary of college campus. The craving
to go out was impatient. Wander within the campus was adequate and bored. Finally,
rays of hope risen with drastic drop of number of positive cases and college
relaxing the containment mode.

Casually, the idea to go out to a place never visited before popped up; the name of the place – Samtse! Discussion further enhanced to stretch until the furthest – Sibsu. Yet, the final destination was to the extreme end – Tendru.

A moment break at Namlakha, the highest point on Phuntsholing – Samtse highway enlightened on various places the highway passes through and the view of lowland was wide and clear. Far into and through village unknown, the view of beautiful mountain ranges ease from the rays protected by blanket of clouds.
Mesmerizing beauty of green paddies from Chengmari until
Tendru made the day on top of the newly resurfaced road.

The halt at old Gola bazaar and the taste of Puri breakfast with
local special curry was yet another memoir to remember. However, Changmari cake
that is said to be the first homemade cake in the country was the best.

Journey to and fro from Phuntsholing township development
site until Amochu bridge was gruesome and rigour. Hot weather with cloud of dust
is not a good combination.
Backed into the campus, the same old work with new
perspectives and energy, the wander begins yet again.
If you want to gain enough of the subject – Construction Management,
College of Science and Technology is not a wrong choice. I am proud first batch
of students studying Masters in Construction Management; 6 years of gap after
my undergraduate from the same college. Welcome to pursue Masters in
Construction Management. However, profound disclaimer is, unlike Australia and
other universities of foreign countries, there is no handsome remuneration or
part-time job, but you get the full monthly salary if you are government and corporate
employee.
You are likely to be rich enough with subject knowledge after 18 months!
