The last sunset of 2018

As I wave off the old year with a fond adieu, I would never forget to reflect upon how wonderfully the year has come to an end. The year 2018 had shed a lot of unprecedented and mesmerising lights of ecstasy personally to me. It would be a big lie if I say the whole time was full of joy. There could be few unpleasant moments mixed but they are nowhere to be reflected as they are heavily cemented by the prolific exciting moments.

2018 provided a favorable time for the entire nation - first to emerge it into its third democratic parliamentary government and second to commemorate the 111th national day celebration in presence of three generation benevolent monarchs of the country. Those moments had created a special place in the hearts of all citizens of the country. And similarly, considering all my personal matters, the year will remain as one of the historic years in my life unto now. I define it as a remarkable year considering those three main important endeavours. One, I could graduate my three-year bachelor's degree smoothly fulfilling my parents expectation. Two, as my parents and some of my relatives hoped, I got through RCSE to attend for a diploma course stint prior to a job offer. Three, in addition to the ceaseless prayers and blessings of my parents  and triple gems, I could meet with a kind of person I wanted to who have been radiating extreme love and care upon me. All those lights illuminated me to be a happy and humble man of the year. 

As I gaze upon the last smile of the sunball perced on the mountain of Uesarna, I stand and look forward to showering the country and its people with the rain of happiness throughout the whole next year. May the yearning new year invite a lot of joyful new sun-rays. HAPPY_NEW_YEAR!

Hedonic bicycling to Paro

The second day of April was the pre-planned day for five of us to travel bicycling to Taktshang. We were of five who literally planned to land on the cliff of Paro Taktshang. Ozzie who was originally from the beautiful country called Switzerland was the brainchild of the plan on which all of us agreed excitingly. Another guy called Tay Powrie who was from Canada was very happy to join us. Sangay and Tshering were excited, too, as I did it. None of us had arrived at that destination except Tshering. "Here we go," we shouted with astonishment as we meet at the Four friends express way at Babesa. "Eki masho" I spoke in Japanese that I have learned of little when I participated in culture exchange program to Japan. And I used to joke with my roommate Tay often times. Only Tay understood. He laughed out and translated, "Let's go". "We're heading Paro" we trumpeted as loud as echoing it back to the college. Biking started. We desc...
