Good Friday

Good Friday is a religious, and is national holiday in Australia. All Christians commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

This year, Good Friday was on 6th of April. All the shops and liquor store remained close on Friday except for the few Asian Stores.

We proudly take Good Friday as a holiday, a break from Uni work and we prefer to stay at home. While some have a friends or family gathering at the beach or at home to spend their holidays.

Good Friday is a busy day for Christians because they have a family gathering. The Christian family goes to attend the ceremonies to mourn the death of Jesus Christ in the Church. They spend their day with a purpose.Good Friday equals a dry day for us. If we go out for fun then it is like going to school on holiday.

Howsoever, such holidays breaks our heart because we miss Bhutan and we miss our family and friends in Bhutan.

This year, we didn't wanted to waste our day and we headed to the beach. It was fun because we saw lots of people on the beach;family, friends, couple, students, and children's. The day went perfectly.

How ironical! We planned a girls night out and the club was closed. Good friday is all about Celebration and out of excitement, we forgot Good Friday. It was a huge disappointment but an ignorance of the day crossed our mind. We were really into fun mood because we are on break.

This year, Good Friday was certainly a fun experience. It was a fun holiday and not a holy holiday for us.

For My Dear Coffee

You are sitting in front of me
And beside my computer
Sneaking at me to drink you more
I smile at you and sip you in
I feel Great!

You look black and brown and sour
I say, "I hate you, you take me to the loo."
But the hatred don't last for long,
I still gulp you a minute later
You make me feel fun and loving


You appear bold and rebellious
You leave my tongue,thick and brown
Keeping my brain awake
And thoughts flowing
You are thrilling and energetic

Every evening, I take a cup of you
I am filled with joy
Because,you warm my cold heart
You fill my thirst
You join my soul

You let me jump with love
Sometimes, snore to the earliest
With the warm blanket over me
While you stay near me on the table
Watching me sleep,
You are my company
My Sour Coffee,I Love You!

1st day of April

Today's day was as normal as any other days; waking up, washing my face, eating breakfast and arranging my bed. Except for the fact that today is Sunday and I am happily in front of my computer. After few minutes, I hear my room mate,busy listening to Adele's music, "Rolling in the Deep" and singing a chorus to it again. She made our room alive and I made it livelier by putting Pitbull's playlist later.

The day was blue, warm and fine. Even if today's day was normal, the feeling was different. It was 1st day of April, Guys. The thought of getting fooled by friends never slipped through my mind and I constantly reminded myself that I will neither fool any of my friends here and afar and nor will I fool them. It is one to one man show. Don't fool and don't get fooled.

The day passed by so dull and boring. I don't know if my friends were lazy enough, but no one really seemed taking interested about today. It was just me excited about it and nothing really gloomed today's day. For once, I thought, whether they were as idle as like they are the present. My thought continued...Well, my job was to stay alert and I did it despite knowing that nothing scarey happened.

I did try to make one of my friend fool at 1 am (My time) to Bhutan. That means, it is already 1st of April at my place even though there is 5 hours difference between us. That would mean it was 8:00pm in Bhutan.

Biting half of my lips, I said, "I am in Bhutan and I am at Paro. If you want to meet me, let me know. I will be at my friends place". I eagerly waited for her queer respond and I couldn't laugh at myself for creating such a hoarse voice. I wanted to know whether she got my serious joke and taking it seriously.

I waited for her reply and I sensed her giggling about it and then she laughed and said, "Oh really? I know your phone number and it is the same number you always use to call me. From abroad".

I smiled at myself and this time with a more serious tone, I told her again, "I am at Paro for real, if you don't want to meet me then fine, forget what I just told you" I silenced myself to hear her tell me something extraordinary. Both of us didn't speak for a second.

I didn't give up. I was searching for another lie to pile up on her and make her fool but I couldn't. Then I knew how much a good thinker I am at this wrong time because I couldn't think of any appropriate lie and make her believe that I meant my words. Anyways, later on she caught my lie and I burst out.

I am not good at cracking funny jokes but I can really be a funny girl laughing at my own jokes too and that's why friends forget to laugh and they don't seem to take it as a joke only. So, I surrendered to her and I shouted, "APRIL FOOL" and wondering, I have not disturbed my neighbors.

I know, I know. I didn't make her fool but I at least tried it. In school, I would have simply made her believe me by making her tighten up her already laced up lace. I missed her and I still miss her. But this time, I failed because my lie was so open, close and a predictable one. I miss being close to her and then cracking about 1st April of the month.

My 1st day of April passed this way except for the extreme different feeling; missing my high school days. We are not that fun anymore. But my 1am experience was an interesting and an unforgettable one.

P,S, This might be one among so many reasons why younger ones gets bored staying with the elders. I guess so.

By the way, the day was gloomy, rainy and thundering. So, today was cold and my friend didn't listen to Adele's song. Most of such special occasions ends by 1pm on that particular day. Actually, my room mate was tuning to Adele's song in the evening only. EVERYONE, HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!!!
Not to forget, the calling part is true!

The Dream

There is a time where you feel completely helpless and worthless living in this world. Frustration crosses your mind and you urge yourself to some entertainments so that you can forget and ease the unhappy moments in your life. You go out with friends, you try talking to friends nearby and you even join the crowd. You are physically interacting with the surrounding but the mentality remains the same. The noise and the crowds leave you behind and you are in your exhausted and idle world again.

As the evening approaches, your mind become too dull to think about yesterday because you don’t want to think of it. You exactly know what tomorrow is going to be - yet another disaster day with all those random feeling of being valueless running back to you. There is no one you can shoulder your emotions and feelings no matter how hard you try to balance by being ok when are not.

Here comes the night, a night to yourself and you can lay your body and rest your brains, mind and heart to peace. Then as a willingly submit myself to sleep, I dreamed a dream where I was the hero (as expected) with too many a follower behind me. With the arm shields and iron clothes and the fierce look on our face, I knew we were going to fight a battle. As their commander, as loud as I could, told them to come with a victory to which they did. But me, in a different world as it is a dream, I was somewhere sucked in the mud with a group of tourist and I am deadened to the situation and woke up with a frowning face and laughed at myself. Being the hero first and getting laid on a marshland later had me smiled for a while.It was a funny experience.

That little laugh, a matter of seconds’ moment, brought me back to live a happy life. It was all of a sudden I cared to think about my life. My feelings were active. My eyes blinking to see the beautiful world in front of me. My joy knew no bound here and I know, only I can really feel the freedom after breaking out from a laced chain.

Even though I am not a hero in this real world,I know I can be the hero of my own and then prove to be one. Just like the followers and tourist in the dream, I know there are people in this real world where I can seek help from and renew my life all over again. At this point I know a little effort will perhaps make my present life a beautiful one to live in.

It may be a dream but dream can change your life and heighten the way you view your world positively and encouragingly. So friends, Stay strong and be confident about yourself. Thing changes and if it doesn't then patience is all it takes to overcome the disasters.

Life in trouble

As a student, an early to bed and early to rise is one of the inspirations that keep you fresh, active and healthy all day long. But the saying also becomes a mockery when you stop following it. Who doesn’t want to tie a knot with positive thoughts? It is a wish that every person wants to work out things the right way in their life. It however doesn’t happen the way it should and trouble starts to knock you when you are in the wrong direction. But then you can’t do anything about it as well. This is life, a life filled with happiness and agonies.


It is NOW that I happily stay late because facebook won’t let me go and sadly wake up early because I have a lecture to attend and I don’t want to miss it.
At one point, life is so much about enjoying yourself to a new level with social networking site despite the friends who is near cheers you up. You go with your friends; watch a movie, take a walk in the beach, go to clubbing, and go for shopping, do the cooking and etc all together. Then, you have friends online who listens to you while you are sharing the happenings. You can exaggerate about everything that is happening around and you know how girls’ conversation never stops. Once we start talking about one thing, we prolong the conversation and add on another topic to gossip. Isn’t this fun? Totally, it is fun.


At another point, your life is a complete misery. The massive time spent on the social net working site starts worrying you. Because you have an unfinished work that patiently waits for you to complete it without delay. As a result, tension starts to occupy you and it continues until you make it through. It doesn’t matter whether you have done correctly or not, the aim is to finish it. This is funny! The tension is not over yet. You start worrying later because you have no idea what you have written in the paper. Isn’t life such a trouble? Did I not just blame ‘life’? I think you are to be blamed for it and not life. When I am in trouble, so is my life.

On reading the news about Rupee Crunch, it was in a flick I couldn’t believe my eyes. Upon hearing about the murders and criminals from my friends, I went berserk. On seeing the unemployed graduates, I honestly felt useless studying so hard for the job. On keeping up to date about Bhutan, I am unsure about how I am going to live my life. Being a student and hearing all of it, is such a load of news to take in.


Folks, it’s time you understand the duality of life and live by understanding the limitations inside your life. Whether your life is submerged in the mud or whether you are high up the sky, you are going to suffer the living.
The short and simple example above is going to help me live my life a little better. Self consolation works!!!

My Taste Bud

So, let be begin by asking you one question. Have you ever mingled your love and hate together and got the end result a satisfying one? Sometimes, people are too ignorant to accept what they dislike and then they just dump it away exchanging for the good ones. It is a universal fact that we would obviously opt for what we like and trash what we don't like. But how about you bring some changes to your eating habits?

Recently (yesterday night), I was making a potato salad mixed with egg and a lettuce leaves for an additional taste. Tell you what; I love potatoes but I hate eggs and especially a fried and scrambled eggs and also a boiled one. I even hate the lettuce actually. I feel like I am a cow eating grasses. No offense here, I am just saying. In contrary to what I thought, I really liked the salad and I felt so happy it turned out a delicious one.

Let me tell you, I was "one" among those people who was so choosy and determined not to take anything that I found unwelcoming. I was always so particular about the food while I was at home. My friend do quote the same, "You are so particular." This would make me think twice. Anyways, I normally don’t like green vegetables such as nakay, broccoli, bamboo shoots, lady finger and Sag. I swear I hated them all but sag, I liked it a little. So whenever I see those curries as an afternoon or evening meal, I secretly got annoyed and I won't take meal telling them I am not hungry or sometimes, I tell them, I hate those curries. But who will stop cooking it when these curries are favorites of some other family member. Call me stubborn for not taking my meal on time with my family but I really had a different taste. Perhaps, you are one among them. WHO KNOWS!!!

My taste has somehow changed to liking those green vegetables and I am way too blending myself with broccoli, boiled eggs and some other green vegetables. I guess, I am improving to some extent and simultaneously adding vegetables in my list as my body builder. I then tell myself, “Green vegetables are good for health, it is nutritious" as if it is a new thing. Funny! But going round and round with new friends, learning to cook new curries, I am able to adjust with curries I come by while I go to other places as well. I am happy about it. I will not be a problem to my family when it comes to curry now. EVERYONE, EAT HEALTHY AND STAY HAPPY!!!

Did you have the same problem as me? OR Do you see changes in your taste bud as a child and as an adult?


P.S, Trying out something new is really a fun experience and you enjoy it. SO GO FOR IT!

In Search of Honey...

Dear honey,

Apparently, I am missing you
I have been thinking about you since yesterday
So this morning, I went out looking for you
Because I was feeling worst
And I missed you even more then
I wished you were here with me
To ease my pain
But you were just hiding somewhere
Frustration crossed my mind
I went to meet Doctor
He said, "Sorry, we don't have the honey you want"
I sadly turned away to chemist shop,
There wasn't a sign of the honey I want
Once again, I was doomed and tired of walking,
... But I gotta find you and I won't give up
I went to another shop yet again
Then there you were –Finally!
You were smiling to me
Sitting in the corner waiting for me to pick you up
It was the wonderful feeling ever, Sigh*
I picked you up, my honey in a little bottle
I Love you
I am terribly in need of you
My throat needs you the most
Cure me soon honey
I shall be grateful to you
With Love
