Kid, He is just a kid.

At this point in my life, I wish I could remember the detailed incidents right from being a toddler. As an adult, I go speechless to see my young nephews and nieces always right in their own way. Spending time with the young ones has undeniably become my favorite pass time. Kids are so fun to mingle with. Their action and deeds are worth enough to keep you engaged. Their presence in the room is more than having folks around at the time when one needs them so desperately. 

There is no doubt of being unsure of what they are and how they feel about themselves. Kids are smarter than us and their unexpected acts greatly surprising and astonishing. Each passing day is a new experience to them where they tend to grab and explore every little thing that they come across. The hue and cry of kids at home abuzz the whole room which is provoking, but we realize the liveliness of having children at home only in their absence. 

Babysitting is an arduous task especially for boys and the work gets tougher if the little ones are too naughty and hyperactive. During my summer vacation, I had a good time with my little nephew who recently celebrated his second birthday. He never bothered who is there to look after him if he is served well and on time. The most positive and appreciative qualities of all are that he is very well disciplined for a toilet. At times, he looked tired and bored. Locked in the room up for the whole day, I once took him for a walk idly. I could never think of taking him again as he used to come to my bed at odd hours and ask me for a late-night walk.

I observed him a little hesitant in the beginning to be with me, but with time he proved very aggressive. Kids always think that they are impeccable and want the things as they wished which is sometimes very much irritating. During the first few days, he was fine watching the local Etho Meto channel and Bhutanese songs. I don't know what sidetracked his mind. He switched to a famous Chota Bheem Series. For him, it is like the series will be aired 24*7, letting me put on the TV as when he wished.

I tried explaining to him that his favorite Bheem series will be on TV at its scheduled timing and he always turned a deaf ear. In return,  uttering a sudden loud cry on top of his voice saying "Aku Bheem Tensh". I had to download the whole series of Chota Bheem and let him watch the whole day. That eased my work, he never moved an inch when his favorite cartoon series is on. Over a few week's time, we became so close and at several points, he used to come to me, hug and get back to his place. He is so fond of the series but I expect him to do different things during my next visit.

Broad Day Robbery


Thieves nowadays are getting bolder and more confident. They have become invulnerable to fear and heightened their audacity to sneak into the apartments even during day time. People remind me to be careful while being away from home. As a sojourner in their soil, they esteem us as a filthy millionaires and try in every possible way to loot our pocket money which is just enough for our living. Do we need to do the same when they come to our place? Absolutely not, we're taught to be humble and hospitable to our guests. 

Those who stay in India might have known the real character of the locals. They think lame, act weird and above all, they are selfish and cunning. They never keep their words leaving us in an unease condition. Of all they taught us not to trust them for whatever reason, it may be. My apartment is housing people from different countries who are enrolled in different nearby colleges. Management tries to come up with their own set of rules and regulations for foreigners to which we never abide by. Rules have to be uniform for everyone, and the separate rule for outsiders are just too harsh for us to take in.


Laborers on the other hand-eye to get into our room during broad daylight when we are away for college. We didn't know their intentions until we lost our valuable belongings. The same person has sneaked into our room a couple of times and we came to know about it after days. One of my roommates' Micromax phone went missing for three to four days. There was nothing like force entry from the door or window, so who would think about the burglars when his phone wasn't there in his room. I tried to ring his number which said switched off and we're calm as we thought it was misplaced somewhere in our room only. 

Days passed by without seeing his mobile and we were so confident that it will be somewhere in our room. Unaware of the robbery being seriously eagle-eyed on foreigners, we used to leave early for college and return late in the evening. Days later, one of the lockers in my friend's room was break opened and his mobile was missing too. The other friend who misplaced his mobile a few days back rushed to his room and got his hand to his wallet only to see it empty. I too kept a few hundred under my textbooks which wasn't there.

That just solved the mystery of the missing Micromax phone. We then realized that the phone was stolen, not misplaced, and stayed starring at each other. Out of four mobile phones in our room, the bloody burglar took two smartphones, leaving my simple Nokia and friend's Samsung phone. He proved to be the dumbest thief leaving $200 from a friend's purse and taking Indian notes. Our laptops were spared as laborers are being thoroughly checked while going out of the gate by the security guards. As expected, management was so silent though we informed about the incident right away. Later, I saw the security personnel scanning people going out from the gate which was too late as the thief might have gone out of the compound way before.

The same day, they also managed to get into one of our friend's apartment and took a cheque of Rs.20000 which she got from the Indian embassy. Actually, she promised us that she would throw a hefty party for all our friends and we were all excited about her plan. That remained as a plan as the housebreaker snatched away from her cheque. The day wasn't ours as we Bhutanese lost mobiles and cash worth 40,000/-.  We felt the pain and got gravely disturbed but consoled ourselves by saying that it is another way of effacing our ill-luck and unforeseen troubles.

Hectic Fool's month


The next 30 days are assured to be a very hectic. Everything has to be managed systematically, make up my mind and be determined. April month, which is regarded as the fools month is never going to let me feel like a one. I have to be active, toil hard and get ready for my upcoming 6 semester exams. Matter won't wrap up with this. I have to cut short my sleeping time and accustom the habit of sleeping after AM and waking up as early as possible. 

At this time of the year, people are supposed to be in the state of merriment with uttermost peace with natural scenic beauty at its best. It is a time to rejoice the freshness and fragrance of the mother nature with its scenic beauty and plants blossoming. Here, I would rather consider April month as a sizzling summer day with scanty rain and scorching heat of broad day sunlight.

To welcome it as perfect spring month is out of question with temperature soaring high up to 38 degrees which is quite early.  The hot air entering the room can make anyone go fatigue with high humidity making the stay intolerable. Ceiling fan proving futile even at its highest rotation. People are left drenched in their own sweat and force to drink buckets of water to avoid dehydration. Most importantly, I have to be extremely careful and stay away from the skin rashes which is common in hot places.

I have seen my friends working in banks busy during their year closing. The situation out here with me is no different. Semester closing is right at my doorstep and got no time to toss my pillow like previous months. The days gonna be long and a tiring one. Submission of assignments, lab records, internal exams and project review are queued up to put me in action. I wished I was free in this month, nevertheless could not help being away from all these works.

April month will put me in terrible mental, but it is an appropriate time to burn down my calories. The fact that I will be back at home by first week of next month is boosting my morale and driving me to enthusiastically put efforts. The sunny days are awaiting for me and this is the consoling aspects of the current difficult situation. Friends are waiting for me to play football and booze together. Ah! can't wait any longer,   and let May come, delectable days are waiting to thrill me though April gonna employ me without any remuneration.

Eyeshot on Blogging.

Bloggers in Bhutan can be anyone and I am one among them as we are bestowed with the freedom to express everything within us. Moreover, blog is a platform for us to express our feelings and keep up our writing habit. Not everyone around us are so familiar with blogging. I am also new to this and got little ideas on how to blog and all. 

Those who never owned a blog but with a faint idea have more to say about blogging and its purpose. I was in a gathering with my college mates yesterday. Few seniors just returned from a semester long practice school in Bhutan with few bottles of our local brews and I was there to fuddle up on their invitation. 

I don't know how it became a matter of discussion. Everybody was talking about blogging. Few own it whereas some aren't aware of it. I never share about my blog with my friends here as I know they will just insult or complement on it. Only one of my friends knows about my genuine interest in blogging and he shared about this to others. 

Another friend had his own opinion about blog. He questioned me whether I have anything posted in my blog which was something like a research work or anything inquisitive worth enough for other people to read as a reference. My answer was a straight NO and he was so sure that we are nowhere as a blogger which he tried to generalize it owing to my presence there.  

I was mum to hear about blogging from him who was never in the position to take our point of view.  I saw him unshakable with his justification on top of his voice. I had to tell him that this is the first time ever to know about the real purpose of the blog. If what he said is true, I am sorry to say that I have been misusing it for three years by posting useless articles.

 I tried to share my own knowledge about blog to him but was not in a position to take it. People have their own justification for everything and I have that habit to support and accept it as a courteous gesture. I don't know whether I am true with my faint knowledge about blog.  

All long, I considered blog as an online journal where we can post our write ups be it anything. I am a keen follower of Bhutanese blogs and blogging for me is like an open diary where we can keep an account of our daily experiences, incidences and a site where we can read and post personal feelings. 

His comments on blogging put me in a bewildering state with a vague hesitant feeling of whether I am doing right by posting everything popping out from within and making it public. It was something like a contemptuous assertion to bloggers especially for an amateur like me. There was nothing serious to mark his words for it was his cognitive thinking which was an absolute laymen's view.

Influence Of Technology In Modern Day Love Story.

I ain't here to bother someone in my apartment who keep his facebook and other pages on with torrent downloading upto 300kpbs. Anything bountiful around us makes us to care less about it mooting the fact that it faintly pinches us. So I keep my laptop power on 24 hours without shutting it down, I ain't the only one doing this. All my friends are just like me making and utilizing it profitably. It is a perfect substitute for everything especially when you are away from home with nothing engaging around. We get to stay close with friends and near ones every day. 

If anyone finds me online even at odd hours, they are misconstrued to see me active. Some curiously writes, "who keeps you awake at this hour". A habit is firmly grounded whereby it has become a routine to clear their doubts. The story starts right from the root where by I insinuate myself in the topic and inform them about reasonable and unlimited internet facility. Though we get to learn new ideas, stay updated with the world wide news, read various articles, follow blogs, watch videos etc, I feel like it is a sheer waste of time because we never know how time passes once we are infront of our laptop.

In a place like India where you never find any other scope for spending quality time during the leisure time, internet play the better role as a companion. We can chit-chat with friends, watch movies and many more. Everything has changed with time, I don't think lads nowadays are having the charm of writing letters to their loved ones like we used to do in our schooling days. Perhaps, they may not have any idea how their elders approached and proposed each other. With the introduction of mobiles and social networking sites, flirting has become popular among people.

Back then, proposing a girl wasn't a easy task, I used to get a goose bump all over my body the moment I thought of undertaking the mission. The proposal required enomous boldness. Those who could speak well and had eloquent tongue were lucky enough to get into relationships. I vividly remember writing lots of love letters for my friends in high school. They used to sneak into my room after the light off without the notice of Councillor and come up with a special petition. I wrote dozens of love letters under the candle light  for my friends and it became like a regular assignment for me.


Juxtaposing the two completely contrasting styles, we realize how technology has taken its role in our life. We just ring the person on the other end or write in social networking site or video chat to express our love and affection. Even with these facilities readily available around me, I never feel comfortable to set myself for the greatest mission. Those who are talented in talking can fully utilize it in video chatting and call, while others can either impress through text or by writing in words. In my case, hair still tingles around my neck to implement and adopt the new strategies which I feel is still out of my comprehension.

Along with technological prgoression, many unwanted stuffs are coming into existence. Violence and marital problems are becoming prominent which I believe is the potent effect of technology. Marital problems has tremendously escalated over the years and infidelity on the rise. It wasn't as easy as it is right now to get into a relationship. Most of the modern love stories have the touch of social networking sites and telecommunication. Two strangers can easily fall in love and make it public by updating their status the very next day. Well, I ain't to trying to act reasonable with my opinion for it is just a display of my lame thought.

To be frank, I may find myself in the most awkward situation to narrate my first meeting with the better half (wish I had one :P) to my kids in time to come if they happen to ask by chance. It will be a weirdest narration to start with "Hmm....I added her in facebook, started chatting and so on" which is the common love story prevailing nowadays. Even then, I firmly believe that the better fate has the vital role to play though social networking site has it own part in modern day love story.

Answer For Liebster Award

Who wouldn't be ecstatic with joy when nominated for the Liebster award. It totally flabbergasted me  to see my name being highlighted as a nominee. I sincerely would like to thank http://jigsley7.blogspot.in/ for nominating me and making me exult with a victorious feeling. It was a kind of a moral boosting support to have someone taking time to read my blog. 

Here are my answers.

1. Anything funny related to your blog?
   -I try to incorporate everything that strike my mind. As such, there is nothing funny or anything like exhilarating secret related to my blog. Habituated to an indiscriminate penning style which is something related to a amateurish stint, my blog is a journal resulting from the cognitive process and emotive feelings. I keep an account of the incidences that I experience everyday. It is a notebook which I can refer for retrospection in years yet to come.There is nothing like showy misrepresentation intended to conceal anything within and it is a complete narration of my random thoughts and daily experiences. 

2. Would you like living forever?Why?
    -I don't think I would love to live forever. This whole concept of life would change if someone was to live forever. Just like plants wither, we are deemed to grow old. Immortality with aging would be the sorriest gift of God to us. 

3. Note few descriptions about you by others that you don't believe in and why?
    -People to whom I am not that acquainted see me serious. In no way, I can wholly accept or refuse their thoughts and my image in them. Everyone is distinctive in their own way and the mental position from which things are viewed vary considerably from person to person. May be the unsmiling face that I wear  which reveals little emotion or sensibility must be the reason why they see me serious. I feel, I am an amicable and a jovial person who prides in befriending people.  

4. We say "Don't judge a book by its cover". Do you really believe in giving only second (not foremost) priority to external presentation?
 -"Real book is not one that we read, but one that read us" is an adage that lets us take a serious note on the proverb mentioned in the question. To yield this famous saying, one must possess the talent to know the world around them. Physical appearance to some extent proves an allure, but I feel the importance of kind human being inside. Therefore, judicious and sensible decisions has to be ranked on top as physical appearance which is perishable can often be deceptive and delusive.

5. What's so special about you?
  -It is good to be a narcissist sometimes. So I will say, I am the special one. Life isn't fair and everyone knows it. People are born with flaws and so I am. The serenity within me lets me live a tranquil and flavourful life. That's an asset of special worth within me.

6. What would you like to give the world?
  -Giving and taking is a part of life. It wouldn't be justifiable to say that I can do great to the world. At the most, I can pray for the sentient beings breathing the common air for prosperous life full of merriment.

7. What is love?
  -Willingness of ones heart to do anything out of affection is love. 

My nomination for the award and I urge her to answer the above same questions.

Pain and Gain:- Real Life Experience

A fortnight ago, I was feeling awfully weak with back pain. At first, the pain was bearable and thought it was due to my poor sleeping style that didn't interest me to spotlight it. The discomfort persisted with no sign of relief. I felt the piercing vibes all over my abdomen part and was feeling agonizingly uncomfortable even while travelling in the bus. The sense of uneasiness while eliminating urine stressed  me, forcing me to think of various diseases.

At one point, aching aggravated and I had to combat it for hours. For the first time, I had this tormenting experience. I got my hands to the laptop, opened google page and typed the symptoms. Google page  displayed Urinary Track Infection and other related diseases. I have no habit of visiting hospital and usually curl under the blanket whenever I am sick. Read the early signs and symptoms of the particular disease and the home remedies with a hope of getting out of the pain. 

I struggled to breathe the proper air. The day wasn't mine, all my friends were out to play football. I could hardly resist the pain, a displeasing and painful experience. As dusk approached, friends returned, only to see me tossing with my pillow. Perplexed with my unusual posture, one of them rushed into my room and inquired if I was sick or not, to which I calmly replied nope. Seemingly, he wasn't convinced to see me replying with contorted face. 

Prior to their arrival, I messaged to friend about my sickness and requested him to come over my place. I knew he was just too lazy to turn up. He wrote, "you're strong and can't fall sick" with LOL appended after it. Well that was humorous, but I didn't have stamina to take it nor felt like explaining to convince him. It was only after their repeated persuasion that I agreed to visit hospital. I knew they felt helpless to see me struggling and opted to take me hospital.

It was only after reaching hospital and the injection that I wore a big smile and felt like a glowing bulb all over again. After various examination, Doctor explained me of a 6mm Calculas that has dropped from kidney and entered the VUJ. Illnesses related to kidney or renal organs, people instantly suggest us to drink plenty of water and I got lots of advises from various people. I was also well informed of it and guess that was the human dissonance which walls from  doing the right until we are really sick.

As I get up for the another mundane day, it gives me a sense of delectation for having got the opportunity to live a day more. Everyday imparts me with new knowledge and lesson. If it was not that terrible pain in the lower abdomen, I wouldn't have visited the http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/ site from which I grabbed lots of information. It will definitely orient me to the path of healthy living and let others around my radar know about the health tips if they need any.

The following are the 10 common habits that destroy our kidney:
1. Not emptying your bladder early
2. Not drinking enough water.
3. Taking too much salt.
4 Not treating common infection quickly and properly.
5. Eating too much meat.
6. Not eating enough.
7. Painkiller abuse.
8. Missing your drugs.
9. Drinking too much alcohol
10. Not resting enough[source: internet]

I aggregated the above detrimental points about kidney from internet. By knowing the cause, I genuinely feel we can alter our lifestyle and habits which deteriorates our health and adopt something called healthy lifestyle.
