The O My...

Flying away far and beyond the boundary of my heart,
Singing the rhythmic song in ecstasy;
O my bird, my bird, pleasure frees to roam around.
Wafting the decorated wings in the air of yours,
Blowing thy gentle mesmerism
O my bird, my bird.

Toddling to and fro beyond the boundary of your domicile
Chuckling the inner essence of yours
O my baby, my baby, innocent rules to learn more.
Showing the innocent smiles over again and over
Craving thy little heart
O my baby, my baby.

Together with same kind is great enjoyment passing well...

Calling far and yet beyond the boundary of thine solitary,
Thinking the aroma of intimacy
O my darling, my sweetheart, thine missing is my dying.
In those wanton  pictures among those sandalwood,
It is pastime passing excellent
O my babe, my darling.

O friend, my friend
Laughing happy is good time together,
Crying together is hard time passing hard wherever
O friend, my friend
Far and away yet in the inner core of my heart
Breathe beyond the limit of essence embedded in you and me. 

With Kushal Ashok

Sorry Ashok and readers. I failed to post soon after our meet since I was busy gearing around my tight schedule. Yet another point in the chronology of my memory is added. Thank you Ashok for your time with me.

We were merely a facebook friend. We are facebook friend because I am from Bhutan, the land of Thunder Dragon. He loves Bhutan very much. He is from the land of magnificent tigers, India, wonderful big brother to my country. His name is Kushal Ashok. He is computer engineer by profession at Infosys. He did engineering degree from Punjabi University. He is motorcycling enthusiast. I remember our converse on facebook, the love to visit my country for biking. I profoundly welcomed him. He visited Bhutan twice. When he visited for the second time it is my first time to meet someone whom I knew online.

I am not going to describe how we met. When I first saw him, he was facing to his motherland in Jaigon. And when he suddenly turned his position to my motherland, I went smiling to him for a big welcoming hug. Yea, he was coming with profound smiling for the strong introduction. “Are you Sangay?’, ‘yea I am. ‘Are you Ashok?’... Yet still smiling we hug and came in to my silent country. I met him in the bordering state in Jaigon and preceded our walk into Phuntsholing, little town of my country.

We had wonderful dinner at Hotel Peljorling. And here are some of dinner and walking snap of our short meet. Welcome again Ashok.

Second serve of rice

After dinner

SHort walk to Zangdopelri 

Nations as two are so connected and so are the subjects. Happy Indo – Bhutan friendship and Kushal Ashok – Sangay friendship and long live indeed. 

To Outgoing friends

With heart full of thought to miss you all, today I got strong feeling that I pen down few lines for my outgoing friends. 

We were unknown; we were Just a mere stranger at the beginning. Times taught us. Time taught to laugh, time taught us to cry and time taught us to merge us together and know among. And thus we established a strong bond that today I am feeling the breakage and denial of my heart of how I will miss you all. 

It is indeed great that you all are not same as you were in the first year. It is great that everyone is prepared to handle the charms and setbacks of life ahead. Journey of professionalism and the journey of family will decide your overall life as an engineer wherever you work. I am afraid to argue that the dignity and mannerism holds bold in and on the stage of life and yea it is indeed a universal truth. 

It is not my temerity to wish you all happy life ahead but the fact of being a fibbing friend; it is great journey of my times together with you all. I am very happy that most of you have taken best decision of life and merge to form duality. And the most of all in Mr Chota Don (little Phuntsho Wangdue) has now gain confidence to face the real world of challenging his heart in facing the beauty of someone who is close to his small yet clean heart. And yea Doulay you are looking good with your dear wife and don’t try to at the least think of having step wife in your life; hope not I have said beyond limit... haha... 

Mr. Pilla Gyombo Wanggyel, you are man of good choice. Choose the best that can attract the fragrance of yours and land on the beautiful flowers of modern arena. Doro and Zam, I mean Doro, you are awesome to ask me always where Duba is. Duba is always around fibbing and making fun of. Gurujii, Gajini of me, the maximum laugh till you shed tears once in your life for I request. 

Kaa, the Micial of our times, you are wonderful little man. You eat like horse yet your body seems you haven’t eaten for month. DEO, finally you revealed your voice and confidence of talking to her among friends. You are so selfish that only your voice is let to hear by you dear one hahaha… you are wonderful friend that I can’t think to forget. 

My two Bamnangs; Pema Choden and Karma Choki of electrical, I will miss your kiddy calling me Gadpu and yea I will be always Gadpu with you two. And for Sonam, cool man, take care and be cool always. 

Rival and chaos between Gapo and Kayta, cool intellectual philosophy of Darjay, and the profound intellect of Namgay; Phuyum, Khandu, MOtay, Theabrang, and my ex-roommate Sangay Gyeltshen and Bush... these all shall remain ever as the friendship history. 

Ajang and Bachelor, good luck for both of you who have found the best in you and your kind heart of fragrance flower that attract bees like you to decide your life. Many years of friendship starting from middle secondary school to college it was great being with you. 

Lastly to Bamzay, the comedian on confession page, I will miss you. Each every seconds of my life will trigger the best to remember you all here after. 

And to all the friends that I relate the value your friendship I want to thank you for being best for me and I wish each and every one of you a happy life ahead to the ever ending wish and to the short term wish I wish good luck in campus recruitment. 

Pardon me for if I have over exaggerated. 

Sangay DUba, on behalf of 09 batch and on my own behalf. 

Managing Director, the MD!

A friend in need is a friend indeed, and a friend in need is a friend in deed too!!

Respected, I’ll begin with. I am going to introduce you to a man with a vision and dark skin but with thick ethical and responsible supremacy. His vision is to fulfill his parents' wishes and to think ethically and responsibly, as he dares to take on any responsibilities given the chance or voluntarily. He is no other than my friend Thinley Tobgay, Samtse (popularly known), a third-year civil engineer. 

We were all unknown. Whenever we met, we respected each other, taking for granted that he may be a senior. Striving along with time, we introduced ourselves, interacted, and became good friends. All first years used to gather in only the lecture hall by then, and it was the best opportunity to know who we are of the same batch. 

Little by little, knowing the same speaking Sharchop (local language) dialect, the flock of Sharchokpa was formed. We are friends of the same type from mostly eastern schools like Khaling, Rangjung, Bayling, Tashitse, etc., and a few from western schools who speak Sharchokpa. One commonality is almost all were single when we were in first and second year. Another common practice among them was to confer nicknames and disgrace upon each other.  

 

MD in action with his subordinate Kaa (Karma Dorji)

The momentum and fun of being single were gained so rapidly. And finally, a friend named our group MB boys. It means Mysore Boys. Mysore, the famous religious institute in India, because we are all single and it is better good to be tagged as monks rather than engineering students. Finally, after much debate during our leisure time, we conferred with Thinley about the position of Managing Director (MD) of the group. 

The current status of the group is totally diverse. The MD is currently in a relationship with a girl from a distant place known to Taktshi, which has surprised many subordinates who had dreamed of a romance with him. Despite this, I can still take my time to find a suitable companion for myself. hahaha… 

It is, was, and will be fun as a friend to our MD, and we are friends in need is a friend indeed. He is a man of words. He never says no to anyone who needs to be accompanied and do whatever comes their way. But he is definitely a follower of Newton. For every equal force there is an equal and opposite reaction. Act upon his illogical drama; he accepts it with logic and reacts logically. 

He plays table tennis and football and is a sharp shooter in basketball. And too, he is president of the Human Value Club in the college. No matter what the situation is, it is fun to be a friend and to have friends. And we are friends; a friend in need is a friend indeed too. 

With your due permission and respect, the article has come up. Good luck, MD.

Thy name became My Password

The Korean may be rare as it sounds in Bhutan, but they are always special – as is every glorious Bhutanese youngster are fan of.
 

I still remember you were in red coat and white pajamas, with long auburn hair and exquisite eyes. The distance was far in the West and me in the East. Thank you, Bhutan Times for their story and a beautiful photo. I was astounded for Korean studying in Bhutan.

You were studying at Ugyen Academy, Punakha.  I read the story more than thrice. And went through the photo to judge which one is you, Esther Yue Suel Kim, Esther Kim (English), Ye-Seul Kim (Korean).The difficulties that you faced especially with food and lack of recreation facilities were your grievance. Your likeness of Bhutanese was cool when you loved Ema Datshi.

And my curiosity to build friendship with you exploded high up in the sky. The Korean may be rare as it sounds in Bhutan, but they are always special – as is every glorious Bhutanese youngster are fan of. I got your name from the paper and instantly I wrote an epistle for to be pal. I sensed so cool to write such an epistle to an unknown. 

I was totally overwhelmed with your response. The envelope was decorated with little daffodils and a couple walking through. It was just a short introduction. My zeal aroused for when I read – ‘I’ll send you my photo next time and send me your photo and please write with your hand in next reply.’ Your legible hand writing and questions to know my interest, hobbies, and anything about me was chill to make chemistry laboratory fume free.

With smile on my face, I wrote her reply. I mentioned all my interests from playing Chinese checker to writing anything that comes in my mind.

I received her reply again. I knew her better this time. She felt sorry for late reply. She was busy with her monthly test and horrible homework. It was funny for me to visualize when her friends called her Yeseura, Estee, and bathroom singer….etc. Her hobbies were to sing, play guitar and hang around with friends, visit pyramids of Egypt. Her dream lands are France, Israel and Egypt. She wants to see the red sea where god divided for his loved Moses to walk within, and the mountain where god gave him the 10 commandants. Her dream was to travel around the world and visit all countries and see different traditions, beautiful and wonderful people.

The message in her letter was inspiring: “I think no one is bad in this world and everyone has his or her own beautiful flowers in them but they can’t find it as it remains in the form of seeds… so did you find that flower in you?” there were some situations when she land up with the thoughts that she is the most useless and miserable person in this world…. But she prays in those moments and keeps all her burdens and logs under the foot of her god. “He tells me to close my eyes and open my eyes and makes me to see the people around me and I become most happy person in the world whenever I find the flowers in me…”. “So hope you will also find those seeds in you that will bloom in later stage so beautifully, so all the best in every step that you take in your life”.

Hope I have found those seeds and seem it is blooming. Thank you for the wonderful and inspiring message for stranger which you may feel weird!!!

Hope to see you sometimes somewhere and thus with journey of missing you, thy name became my password as esangayther.

Duality and the Cause

There are some basic principles which governs the universe and that is the principles of duality, attraction and togetherness which are the ingredients of 'LOVE'. Love cannot exist alone just as one cannot be in love alone. We live in an age when love seemed to have gone cold amongst people, where relationships all too often end before they have even started.

We constantly hear of children of broken families and one parent families who are more likely to turn to crime. Recent events of youths looting and stabbing in cities across the Thimphu stands as an example of this uncaring, wayward attitude.

Needless to say there are various factors which caused this, however we cannot overlook the fact of broken homes as part of this ingredients. One only has to watch some foreign shows to see the mix up of relationships especially amongst the young in our communities and worse of all some reason to say that they stab because it is rampant! This is having a devastating effect on our young and society as a whole.

A relationship is as life itself, it comes with its ups and downs; this is the law of duality. We don't give up on life just because of a terrible earthquake, or a tsunami. Our society needs to promote more tolerance and over standing which are the main ingredients of a lasting relationship.

The system that governs our society has no teachings in their educational establishments of how to relate man to woman, woman to man. Academic education alone does not teach human beings how to relate and react to one another. We see in our society today where couples break up for whatever reason only to get back together and have a lasting relationship. In some of these circumstances there might have been a middle person giving some sort of advice and encouragement, this is the power of togetherness.

 For some people however there is no such intervention as they isolate themselves in the selfishness of what they call "my business" and therefore wallow in their own self pity, jealousy, pride and anger to their own demise. A couple who puts away these petty emotions and are real about their feelings will do the right thing to be reunited with the one they love. This is the law of attraction which brings true love for a lasting relationship. 

I WaNt to saY thAnK yOu.

This is a tribute to my friends... If they could only read... You may think I'm crazy, but... You don't know how much I love my friends, so just bear with me...

How do you thank a friend who is always there for you? When you are all alone – well, not all alone, but people get tired of being there for you, you've worn them out, or you've worn yourself out – who do you turn to? How do you trust when you want to push everyone away because of the pain and yet hold them close because you're afraid to let go, but no one wants you to do that?

My friends are always there. Each of my friends has their own unique way of showing support. Dawley is cool and talkative; he puts his hand on my shoulder and criticises me by calling me Khamjay, psycho, and other names. If I have little spare time, that's ok; I'll go to his room and chat. We will all discuss our experiences and thoughts about having relationships with girls. Whenever I see him chatting with girls online, I insist he introduce me.

Sonam Rabten, also known as Ajang, is the only friend I have in real life. He is silly and smart, and occasionally he is called SMART RASCAL. He seeks my attention by simply walking past me from behind, then he will say “wai Pubba”, referring to Phurpa Thinley, a Bhutanese comedian. Sometimes, hearing this frustrates me completely. And I wonder how I resemble Phurpa Thinley. Perhaps it's because I have a slightly longer chin than Phurpa Thinley. Looking at him frustrated just makes me smile because he never meant what he said. He will divert my attention, playfully strike my shoulder and hip repeatedly until I invoke Newton’s third law. It seems natural for him to be like this for me. 

Phuntsho Wangdi, my little CHOTA DON. We spend time together sharing experiences and joking. He offers support and an ear. Oftentimes I seek advice from him on how to go about solving problems.
His dialogue, "Hey Jaro," and clicking his thumb offer me a laugh.  He is really a friend who reminds me not to take life too seriously among friends and helps each other cope when things are not going well. It is like a blessing to have a friend like him in my life.


Sonam Dorji stands out as the most devoted friend I have ever had.  He is senior. He is my roommate.  He teaches me. He will do whatever I ask if it is academic. He truly is a wonderful friend.

Kinzang Wangmo is the most beautiful girlfriend I have ever had. She is now at Samtse College of Education. By November she will complete her training in secondary education. She never expresses what she feels. And I know what she feels for me. She is the first one I proposed to. With her short straight hair and her smiling face. (I can tell if she is smiling)... She was slim, tall, and the eldest in her family. She is not that bright, but she's my life. I worry about her right now... Not because she is away... But I feel she may leave me.

And the irony is we were once departed and are now on the verge of rejoining. I love her so much.

And lastly, Ngawang Tenzin, who is currently at Samtse College. I ought to have exercised greater caution... as he mocked me when I committed a minor error. He is so smart, and he was actually my first friend who is always close... He used to go to sleep every night before anyone. Now that he's gone... I'm still thinking of him every now and then... Wishing he were fine and missing calling him sometimes. I miss you, Ngawang.

There are so many more friends who are in my life; I miss them all. They have all brought such joy and life to me; they are there for me to help me through the dark hours; they smile at me and cheer me up. When others get tired of my tears and my depression, my anger and sadness, you are all there for me and love me anyway. I am ok in your eyes... I am good enough... You give me what I most desire: to be worthy enough.

Thank you...

Friendship

Throughout our lives we meet many people, and some of these relationships are short-lived and others are for the long term. We all need a friend for finding happiness in our lives, and both our short and long term friendships play a significant role in this happiness.

Is friendship for a lifetime? It is often hard to say because there is no right answer to this question; sometimes we expect that friendships are for a lifetime and in case of real friendship, friendship can exist as long you live.

Friendship is one of the most important things in our lives and we all have periods with problems or we need advice and having a good friend to turn to is a very nice thing to have. Even if you are married or in a relationship there are always items which you prefer to talk first with your friends; not that your husband or wife doesn't want to listen to these problems but a friend often has another view on certain issues than the person you live with will.

A lifetime friendship can start when we are a little child but many times these friendships are only for a certain period. We get friends when we are going to school; to play with and probably we have many common interests. When we become older it is sometimes hard to keep these friendships alive. At this stage in our life we will probably be in relationships or have gotten married. Keeping in touch is not always easy because very often we live far from each other and our free time is limited.

Most people are going to work outside and in the evening they spent most of the time with their husband or wife. If we have children it is often difficult to make time free for our childhood best friends but there are certainly friendships which can exist for a lifetime. Especially if we are in a sports club or another kind of activity which we share is perfectly possible that the friendship will be so close that we can give your friendship a lifetime agreement.

When we become an adult we will expand our circle and meet new friends. It mostly happens when we don't expect it. This can be near the place we live, at work, during a travel or even online. On this stage of age we will have other interests and also other kind of problems where we need a friend for.

I don't have strong friendship bounds from the time when I was a child or even at from the time when I was in my schools.

I really believe that lifetime friendships exist and I was almost sure I found one five years ago. It happened during my ninth and tenth standard at Tashigang. I never was in group. I never mingle with my mates. I was not sure how this happened. The day I realize it was SHE. And worst of all our true friendship was shattered due to distance and belief systems.

Now I am here in College of Science and Technology. Study in college is different from that of schools. We have to do lots of group work, group assignment, group discussions and etc. we organized works in group, and since then my friendship with them become closer. We called each other and go for walk. And they are no other than Sangay Jamtsho (Douley/Khamjay), Sonam Dorji, Sonam Rabten(Smart Rascal), Dechen Norbu(DecNor), Phuntsho wangdi(Phuss), Deki Phuntsho(Pykala), Choki Dorji and etc.

We are exposed to internet. The use of Internet makes it possible to find friends online. There are many dating sites where you can find friends online. I found the last one year some good online friends in writing sites and some of them are now friends. Keeping in touch is really not difficult; e-mail and messenger services make it possible to keep these friendships alive. These friendships are still young and it is difficult to say now if these friendships are for a lifetime but I really believe that some of them are for a lifetime.

Friendships are important in life and if you find a real friend I am quite sure that real friendships exist for a lifetime. It happens very frequently that friendships have a longer lifetime than a romantic relationship or a marriage and you can also have lifetime friendships with someone of the opposite sex. True friendship is really beautiful and offers you benefits for a lifetime.

Friendship not to break

Is it possible for twenty children to play together for twenty years? Thinking about some old friends brings a lot of refreshing and great memories to mind. When I consider some childhood friends, I really wish we could get together and be friends again. The real fact is that some friendships are not meant to last forever. A friend of mine once told me that friendship can expire. I totally agree with him, because the relationship with some of my friends has actually expired.

Cheers and be friend!!!!!

Sangay Dema

We are exposed to the internet. The use of the Internet makes it possible to find friends online. There are many dating sites where we can find friends online. Keeping in touch is really not difficult; e-mail, Facebook, and messenger services make it possible to keep these friendships alive. These friendships are still young. 

Friendship is sharing in the search for truth and happiness with one or others. A true friendship would last forever over time and time. Nothing is more precious than having a true friendship because we can't live without it. 

Sangay T Dema

Thank you, Sangay Dema.  You are my Facebook friend. Chatting with you is fun. 

You make me laugh...and make me forget my problems. We share our interest and aspirations. I'll never forget what you shared with me. You have brought joy and life to me; you may be there for me to help me through the dark hours; you may smile at me and cheer me up. When others get tired of my tears, my depression, my anger, and my sadness, you may be there for me and make me laugh anyway. Hehehehe... Don't mind.

You are a positive and cheerful person, one who finds excitement in even the smallest thing. As much as I know you are not in depression and never hide from life's ups and downs. To blame thyself for what is happening around or to you is more than just a norm for you. 

And lastly, I consider you as my friend even though I have not seen you and didn't spend a single minute with you. I think you are a close friend, and maybe you'll be a friend in some senses of the word.

Thank you, Facebook, for giving me such a wonderful and cheerful friend. 

And I urge you to always be happy, as you said, and good luck for everything... and I hope you wouldn't mind this nonsense.

Take care, Sangay.... 

Missing you hehehehe...

About my friends.....

{1}   Sangay Jamtsho {Douley/Khamjay/Gomchen and etc..}


My best and only together friend I can say. He is known by numerous names.
Like Khamjay, Douley, Gomchen and many more...... Together with him is just like my childhood days.

He is from Khaling. He completed +2 from Khaling High School.. He is sometimes good at theory of calling nickname. He is rude if one goes and distrub his sleep. He is compassionate fellow.

(2) Sonam Rabten


HE is usually called as Ajang, Psyco: there is no specific reason why we call him psyco and he is not so. Ahh he is love GURU. He is good and nice but moddy fellow yaar.. He loves girls at first sight. I cannot count for how many girls he felt in love. He is from Pam, Trashingang. I like to be him and accompany. When ever he visualized about his dear one, first he owns computer and open the folder that contains the pics of his dear one!!!

One thing he cannot leave behind is BULBUL from Rangjung. Her nAME is Dechen ..... and is studying in eleventth standard, science as major. if she ran away from him I cannot imagine how his life will be. I pray he be with her only and be future partner...




(3) Dechen Norbu....

he loves her more than anything i think. I am proud that i have such dedicated frens here in CST. ....


If one find him standing unusually : shows that he is bit unhappy..

Deki Phuntsho (Nick name Inventor)


Popular known as PYKALA.  From Tashigang Bartsham. He is a man of nick name caller. Friends will be given oblique comments whenever they laugh. "Normal"," zai ana wai", "zo rang" and many more will be his best words to use with friends. But friends never mind for what he is and for what he is called. Everyone knows that his nature is like that.
But he sometimes get frustrated when he is called back as "BAINANG SHING", mean his face resembles like an oak tree so rough full of pimples. 

He too is a good dancer and football fan. 




Choki Dorji


Man who knows everything about Psycho. Better to be careful with him. The moment you speak something, its sure that you got a name Psycho. AuuHH!! what a man he is.  Sometimes JK (Jabarjasti Korean) best suit him because his hair style justifies. Sometimes I see him in football field trying his best luck to get  a chance to at least hit ball before game complete. Sometimes I wonder if there really exist such footballer. hahaha,... don't mind choki... 
Any how its nice company with you all..


Chimi Wangchuk (BUSH)


No wonder, he is not from US nor he is the then president of US, Goerge W Bush. He is known as BUSH. May be bush of his hometown, Bumthang. He too is like choki Dorji. Psycho is best word with me. WHenever I see him, i see as if his mouth is solely made to speak only word "psyco". No wonder, such people exist on this beautiful earth. What ever the case be he is a good friend who never mind for anything done to him. 


Namgay (RABA)


Popular, voice of CST!!! No doubt he is a good singer. Just I was surprised once. Once he was shouting. Oh my god!!! he shout as if like a moo of goat.. Name Raba is not derived fromm here. It is derived from his beard that is exactly like goat's beard.  Ahaha... 




Lastly I have many friends who are always with me and help me a lot.. Thanks for being with me and bearing with me. Good luck...
