A Journey to my Dream Land ~

Image
Travelling alone was not new to me but traveling to a place I had always dreamt of since a kid was. Two months ago, I had literally screamed with joy when I had been informed about my selection to attend a training course in Geneva, Switzerland. Switzerland, seriously Switzerland I had repeated several times and my sister had re read the email and re confirmed me again, yes Switzerland, she said. We both hugged merrily. On January 17, 2015 when my family came to drop me to the Airport (a tensed journey it was by itself, I had to reach the Airport by 9:40 AM and it was already 10:10), I was sad for the first time about the trip when I realised it meant being away from home for a long long time, a period of 2 months. I have this inborn disease of home sickness. I was scared. Hiding my tears, I hurried to the entrance quietly bidding farewell to my beloved ones. I saw my worried mother crying. My heart sank again. I had a hell of a heavy luggage, I sure knew it crossed 20 Kgs bu...

My 2014 in a nutshell ~ _ ~

Image
It is the last day of 2014,only 2 hrs to 2015. As I look back, to take a glimpse of my 2014, I must say it has been an awesome year for me in terms of personal development, professional growth and learning. The saddest moment of my 2014 was the demise of my beloved grandfather, who made his journey to the heavenly abode on October 9, 2014. A Glimpse of my 2014 month wise: January: The year started with New Year Celebrations with friends and family with prayers for a wonderful and a healthy year and thanking god for an equally exciting 2013. I let go of my past and celebrated for a new beginning. I started writing and maintaining a blog, ‘Let’s Grow Together’, I kind of feel accomplished. We experienced the first snowfall of the year on January 11. Had an amazing time :) Went home for vacation and spent quality time with my Dearest parents and grannies. Family, Friends, Celebrations ~~ So, January, 2014 basically was a merriment month for me.   February: Fe...

A Dream ^ - ^

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...

And then you left …….

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 ...

‘Salman Khan’- My Super Star ^ - ^

Image
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. Photo Credit -  Being Human webpage Another work of him that makes me more of his fan is the ‘Being human ’ initiative . 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...

Autumn: My favourite Season is finally here [Winks]

Image
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...
