Timid Heart-Destined To Be A Loner.

Karma was born and nurtured in a beautiful hamlet of eastern Bhutan. Caused to be born as the youngest in the boy's family, he was treated with an excessive favor. Privileged to be the luckiest and the most pampered of the family, he grew up as a village urchin. Being brought up in a big boy's family with four other elder brothers, he enjoyed everything including the emotional help from his elders. He was the mischievous lad of the small village. He frequently troubled his neighbors and the caretaker of the Temple. 

Associating with his only friend of the same age Dorji, they made up the perfect match in doing anything that people thought was an inconceivable prank. They had an intimate bonding of good friendship which kept them together throughout their childhood days till high school. It was only after 9th grade that they had to separate as Karma left the prestigious school owing to some unfavorable circumstances. Though apart from one another and miles away, they were in touch through letters.

The act of departure is often seen as more than a melodramatic action. Going away from the dear ones set up an emotional infliction. At home, they relished unconstrained liberty and freedom to lavish upon. Life for Karma was no longer the same. He was ought to be a changed person in the new environment. People around were just his acquaintances. Such a situation obliged him to be mentally fit in the new atmosphere. 

It took no time for him to adjust and adapt. Getting out of rustic life posed a challenge to him. Of all, he was barred from doing all sorts of pranks. He got drenched thinking of his ludicrous act which gave him the nostalgic vibe. Befriended a few of the classmates and soon became good friends. During leisure time, friends talked about the girls at their school. Such talks didn't bring any sense of curiosity to him, not even to the slightest point. So did his friends show little interest in talking about the topic to him.

Even in the class, he was so silent. He never uttered a word unless someone came to him and talked to him. To be precise, he was a faint-hearted guy and had no quality to stand out confident and distinctive in front of new classmates. He blushed when his girl mates greeted him. That probably described the difference between the children who are brought up in the town and rural areas. Undeniably, it was one of the stumbling blocks of growing up in a family with a whole bunch of boys.

It is something strange and surprising to see the sudden change from being the boldest and naughtiest to a quiet timid guy. He was the heartthrob of many girls in his new school. Few had the audacity to express their feelings via his friends. As always, he never reacted,  which made the girls feel pessimistic. He lacked conviction, boldness, courage, and remained a loner forever.
