Starting from Monday afternoon until date, I have been enjoying my hobby. From the 21st until the 23rd, it was the birth anniversary of His Majesty the King, Jigme Kheser Namgay Wangchuck. Those were days when Bhutanese rejoiced for having such a compassionate, farsighted, smart, and intellectual king. As a token of love and prayer to his majesty, I have written a small poem and posted it earlier to this.
The day was cool and clear. Early in the morning, birds singing, wind blowing their best way to let beautiful leaves dance to their best style, and the sun gleefully scattering its rays equally to all was what I noticed from my window. It was 7:30. With my head held straight high and two hands in the same position and moving from top until chest, I bow to wish my king a happy birthday and long life. I thanked him for his concerns, visions, sacrifices, and so on.
When it was 3:00 pm, I was impatiently seated on a blue plastic chair in front of 24x7’’. Sooner or later, when I saw the little, cute, talented, and extraordinary contestants of the National Talent Hunt, I was relieved, and my pulse rate was normal. One after another they started performing. Ladies and gentlemen watching the show valued them with every big round of applause. I was waiting. And I was waiting for Tshering Dorji to appear on the screen. I was prepared to clap for his well-doing. My jovial friend's wish to win the show came true when he cheerfully lifted the Nu. 200000 cheque from BOB. Well done, Mr. Little Tshering Dorji! Well done to all the little kids of the show, and I wish you a successful journey in your life.
After the show I was again prepared to go to my relative’s home and enjoy Losar. It was on the 22nd and coincided with the auspicious day. With my plate crammed with Phaksha and red rice, I closed my eyes for a few seconds to wish all people a Happy Losar. Let the dragon year bring to all what we desire, and let there be harmony and peace always prevailing in the society. Let all the newborns be like dragons and rule the nation in their full strength, and let good history always be created in the name of the dear Dragon. Let all be set for well, and let the peaceful dragon year change to a pleasant snake year without any regret of failure, harm, misery, fear, hatred, and so on….
Since the days for the real prayers are gone, I am now simply and confidently sleeping like a pig. It is time for me to sleep and let the time approach for classes.
Happy weekend to all, and enjoy!!
