Nostalgic Vibe

View of Khaling Dawzor
Khaling, under Trashigang Dzongkhag is my native place where I was born and grown up. After 20 years of gap, I am visiting my village. It was in 1999, after completing my fourth standard, I moved with my parents at Umling under Sarpang Dzongkhag. Ever since then, I have never been to Khaling, that makes two decades. It was a refreshing experience for me. Many thoughts ran over my veins remembering the old me, quiet and shy young boy, a boy who doesn't know what future is, a boy who never crossed beyond Khaling and a boy who yearns for the love of his parents. 

Today, here I am, standing with my own toe, helping my parents with the little way and I got a tap in my brain like, "WIll I be the Same ME if I am to stay here for the last 20 yrs?". God knows.

The painting done by old me
Roads have been constructed in the village. Many new houses have been built. Many more renovation has taken place. I am like, What? Where is the house we stayed? Where is that tree (Gi-Shing)? (pointing to the location). It was like being in a new place. Lots of improvement in terms of structure and cleanliness is observed. I can feel the old me in a place under the house. I can see myself playing on that tree. I can feel the little boy looking from that old window. The picture I drew (don't know when) is still visible on that window. It gave me a nostalgic vibe. 

Many people came for the 21 days rituals of my grandma. They look at me, stare at me for a sec and utters "Nan Chenga Penjor gila mo?" (are you Chenga Penjor?)". "Gila ko la, Gum la yay lu ma la na (Yea I am, but I don't know you)". All seems to be surprised, the way they show, how little I was when I left.

Lots of forgotten Sharshop terms (I would rather say Bombastic words) is being taught by my Aku. Pointing to one, "What you call this?". I was mum most of the time. 
It was also a great opportunity for me to meet and know the relatives. I was happy to know that I have Sisters & Brothers whom I will rely on when in need. I had an opportunity to spend time with my father and mother and explored more of our cultures (Goenpo Maning Nagpo is our Lha and Abi Jomo & Mamai Gangling is our Kay-Tshen). Met with my Grandpa, together we had a wonderful time and successfully conducted the 21 days rituals.

COVID-19 is a Blessing

PC; Google Ever since WHO declared COVID-19 as a pandemic, many countries have limited the entry and exit, many have closed the borders and at an individual level, everyone takes the initiative to keep ourselves clean.   Every nation advises its citizens to stay at home and some companies have started to implement a strategy “Work from Home”.   Social distancing for a meter is recommended by WHO to prevent the spread of the virus.  Many deaths are reported. It was learned that the corpse are buried without proper funeral rites and the family members are not allowed to meet the deceased. Once the virus is infected, the victims are isolated in a separate room where none are allowed to visit. It is so heartening to see the rate of spreading is so high. Scientists are unable to understand the behavior of the virus to discover the antidote. On the other hand, the earth is healing with the reduction of pollution. Many factories are shut down, movements of vehicles are restrict
