Cold in Thimphu

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.

Snow on the mountain above Paro valley

 

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!!!

Drayang

Entertainment industry is blooming in the country. If you want to get your imagination tune to the romance in the screen, there are always explicit movies releasing every year, best of the best. And if you want to get entertain involving physically, there are Drayangs. Irrespective of what you do and where you work, only one common thing that we people need is entertainment. Entertain to relieve you from stress, burden, and depression and entertain to entertain! 

People from all walk of life visit drayangs, May be most the lonely punks. I was astonished for when I saw a man with walking stick!! For me I was first timer on Friday (22/02/2013). There were mostly young guys, middle age tummy oriented men, and few ladies. The entrance was air tight and the moment it open to welcome me and my friends, we are lucky that we didn’t blown off by the loud music ever heard.

The ambiance was totally different. May be since I am for the first time, I intuited wrong. I was totally lost in gloomy introspection. Girls, employee of the drayangs, entertained patrons through the so called, request.  Everything for me seemed sexually alluring. They dance or sing depending upon the comment from the customer whom they requested. Actually it will be worth visiting with exact goal of entertainment. 

I was wedged in between my friends to prevent unnecessary slip-up. After a while, a girl came with a book for the request. I was smiling for when my friends parley the request. My friend dropped a bombshell by asking the girl to go for me for the same. I didn’t know anything to ask or do. I gave her wide smile. Then she asked for a request with a story, which is heart touchy for me. She was so please!

One that came to me has a different story to tell. Everything for her is shrouded in secrecy. She is in agony of her separated parents, lost of her dear mother and the misery of mistreatment from step mother. She is the one that suffer melancholy once she gets dress up for the duty and undress for the bed time. And she forgets her grief in the loud music. 

When you get to them, they will have their own touching story to tell. After hearing those stories, you’ll feel like to blame our society. Definitely society isn’t fair for them. All most everyone still looked down as a mean job. We need to change our attitude. Change an attitude. Have an ethic and be ethical for what purpose you go there. Better we don’t label their profession with prostitutes or call girls. They are standing on their own feet and better we not generalize and downcast their state of survival. Definitely if we change our notion, their profession will become desirable to all and at this age such entertainment platform should become most sought-after leisure.
