Dechen's

James Barrie said, "God gave us our memories so that we might have roses in December." This post contains some reminiscences of my class mates, some of the interesting things I want to remember. I hope my friends won't mind for writing about them here. Its because I find it interesting.  Lopen Zhip Tshoel (Research). Phub Dorji was the Lopen Zhip Tshoel of our class. He got this name because during discussions and question answer sessions he would always say that he did some research and found out something else to support his answer. Actually he really does that in real. He chases every lecturer and enquires a lot if he had doubts which many of us don’t dare to do. For this reason, we despise him sometimes for making the class bit longer especially when we wanted free periods. But his persistence helps us a lot at the end of the semester. A true lover and a very sincere talented guy. Lopen Pey Tam (Quotes) We can, with 100% expect him to utter ...

 The past four years were the most indelible moments of my life. When I first joined college in 2009, four years sounded like eternity. I would often wonder, When will the training period end?

One will end up burning one’s mouth if one didn’t check if it’s hot, or the tea would not be tasty if it cooled too much. We need to know when and how to drink the tea ...

This book was on my shelf since 2006. I never attempted to read it.   I always preferred to read novels of Daniel Steel, Sidney Sheldon, Agatha Christie, Nicholas Sparks and etc. Finally I read it and it was a nice change. This novel is first novel by a women to come out of the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan. Unlike those novels written in western context, this novel based on a Bhutanese setting represents various aspects of rich Bhutanese culture and pattern. Photo from Google. It gives a clear and tough picture of the kind of life a Bhutanese village woman lives. The importance of Karma or one’s actions, whether good or bad is clearly portrayed. This novel gives the message that each human being will experience the consequence of his/her Karma in one or other way, in this birth itself. There is no escape from that.
