The Harmony

The Harmony

05^th February 2016, the most remarkable day in my life, that will never extinct from my memory. The event was scheduled in many different days but due to some inconvenience and other coinciding events didn’t let it happen and we had to keep on changing the date. Back then when I was in high school though I saw many people playing guitar, I didn’t have any feeling of interest towards it. Swiftly, when I was applying for AUW scholarship program I was most attracted by the guitar club here.

I wasn’t sure how far I can learn and play myself. But I was well assured that I will be part of guitar club. I have no idea since when and from where this interest developed in me. I couldn’t learn single chord in first year due to my late entry. I was bit dishearten at that time but I was recovered hastily as I will be in AUW for again 4 more years.

From 2^nd year 2013, my learning began. The class was twice a week and couldn’t learn many chords. After few weeks, the blisters bloom on my finger tips and skin were so hard and coarse in that area. I felt little pain at the same time. The learning of shifting my fingers from one chord to another was another tiring and unyielding thing I encounter.  I felt I can never do that. Sometimes it frustrated me and I resign from learning for few months. But it wasn’t a good decision. Again, I started from beginning in another year. There are my few friends equally fascinated like me. We encouraged ourselves and console ourselves. We even planned to perform in guitar concert on that year, 2014. But it was in vain. While sitting on the floor and gazing at the performers was most painful and remorse feelings that I was going through. But I managed to offer a round of applause and cheer them up.

That feel has never vanished from my and indeed it act as a catalyst and it activated my hard work towards learning guitar. Finally, on 5^th Feb. my friend and I gathered all the courage and confident and came on the stage. We were quite nervous in the beginning since it’s our first show with guitar. But the practice we did for months and months make us more confident and calm.  

Now, we can do it with less practice and less nervous. CHEERS!! Dragon Girls!!

   

 So Called “Alcohol”          

                                    

I know you didn’t do any harm to me neither I do for you.

And you must know that we are strangers

Since the day I realize your existence in this world

I started to hate you.

Why do you do this? How many more years will you exist here?

People loses jobs; you created misunderstanding between couples,

Misunderstanding in family, you cause accidents

And you make people fall in love with you

What magic do you do to people?

And why do you do this?

Can’t you see the devastation you produce?  

Can’t you see the misery and tragedy you bring?

I hate you because you make people worst

Hate you because you made people arrogant

Now people become worst than animals

You make people to forget their purpose of life

I envy you because many people like you

Though you don’t have any good personality

And they forgot about their love ones

To be honest I am eagerly waiting for your extinction.

Not only me, there are thousands of people like me

What good things did you do to my people?

My family and my friends, Nothing!

So, please I beg you not to influence my people. 

We the Family

A place away from home, amidst a busy SAARC facet

 A family in a place we cherish not,

A tooting driver and hooting Rickshaw, unruly crowd

The Dragons fare! Up high in the midst of trouble

Labeling Drukpa, the name we take pride in

We the Bhutanese in the land they call a land of poet,

          Are like siblings who help in all situations.

We seek for sister-hood relationship, happiness and care.

Unlike other students we the Drukpas  live as “team”

Our characters, comportment and behavior comes naturally,

As we are born in the land of Thunder Dragon,

Adhered to the philosophy One People, One Nation

Following the paradigm of Gross National happiness,

We have more than twelve different countries student

At AUW, they are all fascinated by the idea of GNH,

They wonder how we measure happiness rather than product

They were deeply startled by the endurance of our Royals.

Though the country is tiny, it is jubilant and people are ecstatic

We are blissful with our father the Druk Gyalpo Jigme Singye Wangchuck

Praying and wishing for long live, eternity of tranquility in his life,

And immensely grateful for guiding the country and People

Above are only things that I could evince  

No words can describe you, your majesty! Epitome of all rulers,

Nothing can measure your love towards people and country your majesty!

The Bhutanese, ever so grateful, under your reign, can only pray for your eternal life.

You fought for us, toiled for us, faced our fears, changed out vulnerability,

To what end?  But to make a better place for us

We are intensely, deeply, and truly grateful to you

May you live long Your Majesty! May the Dragon Shine Forever,

May your legacy reach eons down the history, May your astute remain ever higher.

May Palden Drukpa beget another ruler Like You! Your Majesty!.

The Season

We encounter different colors in nature 

The mountains wrap with green trees

The gardens and valleys filled with blossoms

Generating varieties of delicious scent

Bees competing over nectars, bird chirping

And the whole earth becomes alive.

Now the students started their busy schedule

The days seems longer

Children quickening for ice-cream

Somewhere people die longing for stream,

Some suffer for shelter,

But some lives in everlasting joy.

Yet, an alive begin to die,

Scents and noise vanishes bit by bit

The greenery transform into diverse color.

Leaves unhurriedly fall down

And cover up roads and paths

I cannot beg them to stay longer.

Students become serious in revision

Ultimately, the fallen leaves buried under soil,

Dusty and windy over takes and places

Students are blissful to gallop home

Some cries over mess up examination

Some worry and mourn for parting

The days are frozen and chilly

People exit to gather lumbers

Some leave to purchase feathery outfit

Oh! Winter has arrived. The beauty of naure!

Lucky Palden Drukpa!

In heart of Mighty mountains,

The glory that rose of little Fountains,

The jewel in the midst of two giants

Lies Palden Drukpa in its utter defiance!

The students, farmers, workers and children

All in all we Bhutanese, born in Bhutan

A nation adorned with peace and happiness

A leader guiding us to the realm of peace

Persevering national sentiments, values that embody us,

Sacrifices his life, making is a living Eden

 Freed us from mundane tunnel, opening to a new world

Risking all the risks, History reckons such heroes.

Tireless, selfless, trying to make his countrymen ever gleeful

Reconciling between the countries,

Diminishing disputes and skepticism

People’s goal with solemnity; accomplished.

A rare magnificence like Him, You the 4^th Dragon!

I salute you for your utmost bravery,

I admire you for your sincerest leadership,

I respect you for all you did to your nation.

Worrying for people more than His life

Struggling every single day to make better place

Pass over the hills, reaching far flung places that dared not a step.

A leader like no other countries, salute you; the 4^th Dragon King.

You work every day for people, overseeing how they are doing

Perceive their troubles and finding a way to resolve

How fortunate we are to have you, your Majesty

The worlds around us envy our citizenry for your leadership.

Your dedications remain immeasurable,

No remorse in seeing my god in you!

In this land of Thunder Dragon,

You are our visible God, 4^th Dragon King!

Thanks for guiding us; you are our North Star

Bringing peace and tranquility in the country that was fragile

Greatest leader our nation’s history ever saw;

To you I bow my 4^th Thunder Dragon king.

In my utmost wish I say my prayers,

May God ever bless your wishes with all the fulfillments.

May your life sparkle with laughter and Happiness.

May woe and infirmity never approach your life

May you live long with all your hopes.

May Bhutan ever be a blissful place to live in.

Happy 60th Anniversary  Our Beloved His Majesty 4^th Druk Gyalpo 

6th February, 2016

Early in the morning I woke up and started to continue my research on Environment and anthropology. After reading few journals I open my face book and saw the post about new born of our prince on 5th February at Lingkana Palace in Thimphu. At that very moment, the feelings that came through my veins and happiness inundated me. I couldn't resist myself and dialed my friends number to inform her. She was still in her bed as her voice sounded in sleep. I even disturb my roommate's sound sleep. The excitement that I got when I heard the news didn't affect her emotion. Even though I shared to her with immense joy and excitement. She said "oh! congrats, then later, I realized that she is not from Bhutan. 

I couldn't help myself and updated my status. I even closed all my research journals and watched live show celebration in BBS. I Thank God for gifting us with the greatest leaders. Now, they assured us that our country will be jubilant and independent for many more years. They assured us that our country will never be ruled by any other country. The feeling of secure and relieves in every Bhutanese might have let them rest well. So, one behalf of all the citizens and on my own behalf I would like to welcome our Prince and Congratulate our Royal Family. We are overjoyed with such a blessing news. Thank you and Love you. <3
