Yesterday, With You!

I just can’t believe you are gone
I am waiting for the morning to come
When I see if the sun will rise
In the way that you are by my side
I will remember you again

It was yesterday, you said, ‘I love you’
It was the time when we had so much in store
When we are building memories
The place to visit, the roads to walk
All of it is a rejoicing memory now

Others can take future but not our yesterday
They can take the places that we said we would go
They can take away our today
As I just want our yesterday to remain
So that I could hold yesterday in my heart

I know I will see you again
Not as my love but as a man I once loved
It is not selfish to ask you one more day,
One more smile on your face
To remember our Yesterday

I know, I still find strength in our yesterday
All the broken dreams, take everything
All the places not visited, take everything
All the roads untaken, take everything
But they can never have yesterday

Thinking Of You

I am lying on my pillow,
Reminiscing my favorite old times
I am at the place I first met you
Confident and Sipping Coffee
And happily introducing ourselves
Among the cheering crowds outside
Celebrating a Music Festival

As you approached to talk to me
I hesitantly shied and peeped outside
To enjoy the uplifting Dzongkha Music
To which I realized you were uninterested
Thankfully, you looked outside as a hippie song came along.

That was the moment: Getting to know you
As cold as the winter seemed
Our conversation lingered hot and spicy
Talking of the place I study
And the place you are at.

Our first meeting was so alive
You were cute, talkative and friendly
That was my first time day out with a guy
I am Overwhelmed that only I can explain the moment
For a girl like me
I believe,first meeting is always like this.

The latter part was a fun=filled one
The Bowling club was fun
But the long dragging Kira held me back from playing
But you stood out and had me played the game
Then I knew, you are a Gentleman.

Those days are gone
You are gone
I am gone
But my memories remain
To Cherish my Few Good and old Times with YOU.

P,S, This is not the end of the story. FairyTale Love story happens!!!

Explaining Bhutan to the Unknowns

Many of us know that Australia is a multi cultured country and we meet people from various backgrounds we could possibly imagine. There are people from every possible corner of the world and it is exciting to meet them and at the same time, share about our country which as well might be alien to other people around the globe as we are to their country.

I was on English Conversation Group as organized by the University. There were students from China, Malaysia and Turkey. Chinese and Malaysian had some hints about where Bhutan is except for the girl from Turkey. However, I was sure no one was aware of what is inside Bhutan and how amazing it is to live in Bhutan, a complete different world from Western countries.

As we introduced ourselves, all of us started to talk about our country. The Turkey girl seemed puzzled of whereabouts Bhutan. I gave a friendly smile and explained, "Bhutan is a small country located between China and India" This is one of the basic, the easiest and the most common method to describe where Bhutan is. Followed by, “It is a very small and a happy country” Well, I hope it is. I don’t want to see or read crime news in Kuensel online or in BBS.

Then the Turkey girl responded; with a closed mouth, nodding her head from north to south and still wanting to hear more of Bhutan. At the same time, I knew I have to talk more on it and continued, "We are an Independent country and is the Youngest Democratic Country. We still have King and Queen and.... “ She was smiling and suddenly popped in with smiling and surprising appeal, "Oh wow, really? Bhutan is a fairy tale country. It is a Cinderella story" I smiled and promptly replied; "It is not as easy as it seems like in Cinderella" Of course, all countries have a history to reveal.

I was not ready to talk about politics in Bhutan. A thought captured in my mind that she has no ABCDE information about Bhutan and this is not my first time meeting someone who doesn't know about Bhutan. So, I energized myself and said, "Bhutan's second language is English” so that she can at least know that Bhutan is not an isolated country and then covered some topic on Gross National Happiness. Well, this is what came to my mind and I felt good sharing smaller things to my friend who seemed so alien to Bhutan. It is natural. Not all of us know where Honolulu is. She didn't know the name "Bhutan" existed so I believe, I helped her in my own little ways to capture the image of Bhutan and never forget it. No matter how much Bhutan is exposed to outside world, we are still an Unknown and there are people who wants to know more of Bhutan.

I think I did a lot of talking part and I showed Bhutan through Google and found some interesting pictures. I felt so good seeing the picture. Bhutan is indeed such a peaceful and happy country no matter how much we complain about it. At the end, Home is where your heart it.

Well, after showing the pictures of Bhutan, she was awestruck and amazed at how beautiful Bhutan is- with Greenery Himalayas interlocked with each other.
Talking of Bhutan, and this is exactly how students away from their home country celebrate their living in another world.

At the end of our meeting, I felt so good and satisfied that I got this opportunity to talk about Bhutan and even invited them to visit Bhutan.

My Love

Ever since you were born,
I stayed with you:
Changing your nappies
Soothing you when you cried
Most of all, giving you my love and care

For a mother, you are the beginning of all thing-
Wonder, hope and a dream of possibilities
But for me, you are angel in my eyes
You make me realize how worthy I am at home,
You make me fill my heart with love that I thought was empty
You make my days longer, nights shorter
I,e the time when your mother was away,
I stayed awake for you
Watched you pass your day with smiles and cries

I don’t want to be a mother to feel the motherhood
I already know what it is like to be one
I am grateful for making me the way I am.
I love you so much that my heart will speak thousands of you
And it will never end until I die.

Love, from your cousin!

P,S, I can't believe my eyes, you all are growing up so fast and standing in front with those same cute little smile and in a dress that will make you "YOU" in future. I love you all!

When to eat Fruits?

What is so good about fruits that you eat everyday? We all know that fruit is healthy and nutritious for our body. It is one of the dietary meal that renders us with vitamins and fibers.

No matter how much you think fruit is important for your health and no matter how much you explain to your kids, friends and family, have you ever wondered yourself about when to eat fruits? Is it good to eat before the meal? Or is it after the meal? Or just eat it?

Here are some tips you can follow:

1) Always eat fruit 1 hour before your meal.
2) Never eat fruit right after the meal. Fiber is not absorbed in your body) Keep some hours in between and then you can continue with your urgency of wanting to eat one.
3) Don’t eat the half-cut fruit stored in fridge for a long time. It might help you with the digestion but the fiber is lost again. So, eating such fruit is useless. It might give you the taste and the satisfaction that you had a fruit but your body will not gain any good nutrition. You see to it.
4) Always keep a fruit and eat a fruit.

Wondering I am a health freak here? Recently, I have been sick and my white skin complexion took me thinking about the vitamins in my body. I checked my blood pressure and it is low. My skin is prone to diseases. I have had enough of disease in past years and it still is, that I possibly don’t want to remember and I don’t want to forget as well.

After what I have been through and what might happen again, I became a little bit of health conscious (Which I am always but this time with more exaggeration). The first and the least thing I could do was; Google and search for the list of vitamins and in my case, it is vitamin C. This wasn’t enough. I went to see a doctor and explained about the unfortunate disadvantage in my body. He advised me the same; to take fruits, vegetables and drink water a lot. Then I realized, medicine is not all to ease off the dysfunctional organs in your body. There is always something more to it.

So, if any one out there is facing problem with your body and skin, you should probably eat fruit and vegetables regularly to keep yourself strong and healthy. But the most important thing is, GO AND SEE A DOCTOR. Don’t take your body for granted. You never know what is going to happen next. Take care all and have a good weekend.

The Sweet Separation

It’s a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of him lingers
And temptations strong

Into the Boundary
Of each young couple
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands

Oh, cold heart
Distance made you so
Baby, some things look better
Just passing through.

It’s no sacrifice
But just a simple word
It’s two hearts living
In two separate worlds.
