It was one of the coldest winter afternoons in Paro. The road trip was kind of scary with the ice topped road, the car skidded every now and then. My brother’s speed driving added to it. The potholes made it worst. I never had such a bumpy ride ever in my life before, I thought. My endurance level slowly faded and I pulled the hand brake, stopped the car and drove on my own till the destination. The two ladies who were soundly asleep at the back of the car were also woken up by the sudden stop. I had wondered how they could sleep so peacefully when my heart was in my mouth, though my sister claimed that she had lesser sleep the previous night. We reached our destination past mid day. So many other things happened in the middle, it’s kind of vague now…..And…. It was almost dark when we finished eating, we had wasted too much of time choosing the spot. When I suddenly felt so thirsty I had asked my sister to get me a bottle of water from the shop nearby. After a while, I saw a grou...

Every one of us know that our time in this world is limited and that eventually all of us will sleep a never ending sleep and never wake up again. Yet the lost of a loved one or of someone you know always leave you saddened with too many questions unanswered and too many unfulfilled wishes.   October 9, 2014 will always remain a very sad day for our family. A day of great lost, a day we lost our hero, the head of our family, the guide, the support, the backbone. My grandfather was 82 years old when he left us only with fondest memories. A short epistle of love I have for you here: My Dearest Baaju (that’s how I called my grandfather), Right now, there are so many things I have in mind to tell you, so many wishes, so many thanksgiving words, how I wish I could express all I feel for/about you and all I have to tell to you in words. Anyhow, well, firstly I am not sad for you now because I know that you are in a better place, an uncontaminated place both by mortal ...

No doubt he is the most, yes THE MOST handsome, well maintained and the most kind-hearted Bollywood actor of all times.  I am his great, if not the greatest fan. I love this actor immensely, it’s not just his movies, everything about him is different, so are my feelings for him. I grew up watching his movies, I watched almost all of his movies, I still do. The funniest thing is, I cannot/don’t rate his movies because it’s just about him and there’s nothing I dislike about him. I totally adore this man.

Through this charitable foundation, he helps millions of vulnerable and underprivileged people, thousands of them every day. Be it orphans, victims of natural calamities or victims of any other misfortune, changing lives of people is his intent. He is a star who makes me trust and love humankind more. Further, I am simply amazed by the number of...

Photo Credit - Google A utumn is the third season of a year after summer and before winter. It is my favorite season because it makes me fall in love with nature more deeply. I love the smell of it. It makes me happy and just happier. Seven reasons why I love Autumn:  1.  The Climate and the Surrounding: Beautiful Thimphu ^-^ in one of the Autumn mornings! Autumn has the most pleasant weather conditions. I love the yellow leaves, the fruiting trees, the harvesting time, the weather - neither too cold, nor too hot, cool breeze, lesser rain. No one needs fire or heater to keep them warm neither does anyone need to shower every single hour to get rid of heat and humidity.  It’s the perfect picnic season, perfect season to go on walks – both romantic and unromantic. :) 2.  The Festivals and the Holidays: It’s a festive season, a series of government holidays fall in this season – Starts with (1) the Blessed Rainy day – this idea of takin...

People usually mistake being busy with being productive. I personally thought people who looked busy were probably the most productive ones. However, I have a different view on this now, being busy doesn't necessarily mean one is being productive. I realize, that productivity has absolutely nothing to do with how much you do, it has everything to do with how much you accomplish. I had this one long month, a really busy one, where I had to lengthen my working hours, compromise family and fun times, sacrifice my sleep, let go of things of my interest and much more. At the end of the month, I realize I actually couldn't accomplish anything, I couldn't meet the deadlines, I couldn't meet people I had to, I had not held discussions, I hadn't prepared a good report. My busy month turned out to be quite unproductive, even for my personal development and my personal relations. The whole month, I wrote my diary the next day in office, where I used to forget many of ...

One lazy Sunday morning, I was laying idle with nothing to do, I had just completed a book and had no new one to read. The rain had just stopped after continuously pouring the whole night, the sun had risen. I opened the curtain and looked out of the window, I could see little children crying, their elder brothers/sister playing, their mothers doing laundry, their fathers playing archery, some other ladies dancing and cheering them up. As I still laid down watching them, all with beautiful smiles, I wondered what these people were thinking, what they were going through, their dreams, their hopes, their life purposes and expectations. The night before I had just thought about my own, had got a little frustrated, a little worried, a little excited, feeling luckier compared to the disadvantaged people at the same time unluckier compared to the advantaged ones. I woke up, went to the wash room, made myself a cup of tea and turned on the Television to check if there was anything inter...

It is always a great idea to travel light so you can be comfortable and at ease. What to carry and what not to carry really depends on the type of holiday/visit you are planning, the destination, climate and the duration.  I have prepared a quick list of essentials to carry, to help you to have a wonderful trip ;) 1.    Travel Documents: The first things to put in your baggage are your travel documents, the passport, visa (if required) and flight tickets. It is always mindful to carry a city map and the address of the place you are visiting if you are visiting the place for the first time. If you are on a business trip, make sure your laptop or the drives are packed in case you need to make a presentation or write a report. You have an additional advantage of it though, you can watch movies if you are bored or too tired to go out. Pack up the chargers too.   It would be wise to carry extra passport size photos, you never know when you ...
