It was in mid-July when I reached Thimphu, the capital city of
Bhutan. It was moderate then. Not many months passed by. Within those few
months I appeared for Royal Civil Service Examination which included written
examinations and viva voce. Not so many vacancies are announced and still I am
waiting for the corporations to announce their vacant posts for civil engineer.
In fact, the job market is mute.
After Going through the Labour Market Information Guide for
University Graduates, 2014 I am not that much worried about my employment. The private sector immediately fills many vacant posts for civil engineers. Definitely
if the RCSE result is as expected, I shall join one. Private sectors are not so
bad for civil engineers!

| Thimphu |
Thimphu has become very cold within those few gone months.
As it get colder day by day, my body battle to it. It resist in the form of
various pains. My chest pain upsurges. My leg doesn’t wish me to walk more. My
back doesn’t desire to endure long hour cold. All in all my body don’t suit in
cold. It is not acclimatizing.
I don’t see people roaming through the city as much as I
could see a few months back. City dwellers fortified them with cozy jackets, long
boots, and comfy hats. Shops get closed soon after the sunset. Karaoke doesn’t
get busy so early. Not many people date in the branded clock tower.
But many gather and circle the porridge sellers. As they sip
the hot porridge and breathe out, I could see the beautiful faces through the
haze of warm air in the cold. And within few minutes I get dissolved in the
arena of hawkers. I move back home and wait hours to get my body warm in the
thick blankets.

Yes, Thimphu is cold. Do enjoy the cold and wait for the
departed, lovely warm summer.
Wow! I could see beautiful snow on the cap of mountains
above Paro Valley. Journey has begun.
Have a nice day!!!
