Tshewang's Journal

When life beacons its bad beauty You sworn away yet left you in choices lost. Tries grasping its beauty; but choices are not for you For it is your destiny; clings unto hope though with despair overwhelmed. A car without fuel, laptop with internet disconnected and kitchen with pots unfilled Welcomes you in the bend that life offers, a turn which awaits long And through the blue shades you look at sun, it blends but not all rays Yet accepts you; for this is the choice you made A ray of hope, a mother in mother’s place; Thanks to you my benign Aunty Pem Should you see the cute smile from my kid wearing a nice shirts and pants? Yet that’s the only gratitude they can offer you, know them well. My car has fuel to run, used I the half of which you gave Crackers for my kid’s breakfast; used quarter of what is left Feasts by them like Oliver Twist in his orphanage Luring around; I cannot but see them grow The despair that overwhelms, tempts me to los...

In a darkened room, the light glimmer,  Wakes up a zombie, concerned Flipping the books, unknown which to learn. Checks the clock and 1a.m.  It is too early; yet not If yes,  awaits in three days An unprepared trial  Takes his seat, composed yet stressed.  Takes his bulky books,  Starts with hope to finish a subject,  Uncovered,  lost in amidst of subjects Finds he in equilibrium lost.  Goes to kitchen, grabs a mug, Blackened coffee    to subside his yawn Back to unfinished revision, it's dawn. Sleepy, yet perseverance has he.  Goes to bathroom and shower does he take. Stomps his breakfast, i n a minutes few Takes a ride to his holly school Ushered with smiles of cheering friends. The smiles fake the coming exam,  Joy of momentary; summoned with worry, Questions, but one do i ask myself....

“This is the fast moving global change and in such times the importance of youth becomes more and more important than ever.

Yesterday, at last period; My English teacher taught us a factual lesson by giving a simple example. He started asking us with the differences we can see from comparing potted plant and the wild plant. All I can think of at first was they are both plants. They both give the same physical description and they were both plants of same species. However I realized that there are differences. “What could be the differences?" I thought, before i could speak any differences our sir, told us the differences. The potted plant is being cared by the people. People water them, put fertilizers, and make is way so possible to look beautiful. They give flower which adds serenity of human beauty. On the other hand, the wild plants do not get any of those. All that they get is the water from rain, manure from the natural soil, and care from the Mother Nature itself. Yet both give the same flower no less. I took the scale from my bag, and made column for listing the differences. I listed all that ...

In azure sky of prophetic Yangchenphug Those nasty rascals around me Sharing their own memoirs of goodness And their charm of life, are: Contemplative Bumthanp,Samten Wangchuk And dawning Ap Sha, Magic Pencil, Reflective Ngalop Rin Penjor And a glancing dude Dechen Wangchuk Forget not to mention our Chettala, Nagay Dorji The life through which I gallop Play by them, a part not minor And in freedom walk I in nature’s bounty For it is life worth to live with these Rascals A glimpse at the drifting lives of ours, Memoirs a lot, but a part do I share:           An angry face of Bumthap in a fight of friendship’s woe     Yawning for share of women’s love an excited Phub, Magic Pencil Private Property, to which he is sworn to, is a face of Dechen, And a lapse of jokes on his fa...

Morning pearls reflects the rays of the sun Evening dew perceives the rays of the moon And the loves of dews and moon Are the perfect bond shared of boon.                         When the fair rose in the bed blooms                         The busy humming bees sings to dream                         In the waves of sweet tune with a great hope                         To welcome her super love. The cloud dances over the heads in the sky And trees dances on the ground everyday the love between us is as strong as death And that we behold is much worth                           The couple bring their child with love and care      ...

The wit of human nature doesn't comes to an end. Not especially when one is tied his upper jaw with lower jaw and cannot eat anything except liquid juices. The god -given nature of human faces are fragile. we are given with five scenes to take care of these fragile creation by the god. But there are times when  often one gets into an intimate nature of friendship and doesn't know his limitations to jokes. The pain i have had was really hard. It may seem funny to narrate whole incidences, but i admit that it is worth sharing since i have learnt a lesson. It has been two days since i have had inter dental wiring cast within my mouth. I can neither eat nor talk properly with my friends as my upper teeth and lower teeth are perfectly immobilized, kept in same place to fix my jaw fracture. I missed Ema Dhatse, I missed my favorite steam of Broccoli, i missed rice and i missed sandwiches. Nevertheless i am lucky to feel that i ...

Wearied but awake Tshewang wipes away the sleep from his glazed eyes and his world comes into focus. It is not really his world, but rather the one which he is encompassed by after his wandering from Tashi Yangtse has finally come to a close. After several months in an alien environment, he comes to terms with everyday life of Yangchenphug, almost. Each day after waking up, freshening up, washing and having something slight to eat, he faces an academic world-a world which is still developing in his mind. How long will it take for this man to be a member of Yangchenphug, rather than a tress passer?? The nightmares help; they partially blind the deep sleep as the book is first opened in the lighted room. No matter how dark the tint he sees the differences everywhere each day which his eastern school days made incomprehensible to him. A five to ten minutes drive and finally he arrives at his place of academic world. Entering the gate he walks to class with his friends. What will ha...

Human beings are remarkable entities, distinguished from other creatures by our capacity for reasoning, consciousness, and the ability to discern right from wrong. This unique blend of traits raises profound ethical questions, particularly in our interactions with the animal kingdom. While all beings seek pleasure and avoid pain, humans' pursuit of momentary satisfaction often comes at the cost of another life. This dichotomy has been a subject of debate since ancient civilizations, yet remains unresolved. However, it's crucial to examine our dietary habits critically. Meat, ingrained in our culture and meals, poses a paradox. It reflects the natural food chain and biological necessities that have shaped our evolution. Imagining a world where humans are outnumbered by animals like pigs, hens, and cows challenges our perceptions of the natural order. Yet, acknowledging this does not absolve us from the ethical implications of our choices. Nature, in its wisdom, offers solutions....
