Lockdown

 

Lhendrup could not sleep well that night. The night was unusual with strange howling of dogs and roasters alarming at wrong time. It was a night before nationwide lockdown was announce. Lhendup got disturbed by unusual night and searched for his phone to overcome  his sleep less night. He put on his mobile data to check his Facebook page and scrolled Newsfeed on his page.

" 1 women at Gyelphu tested positive on PTR outside the qurentine facility....and prime minister will be live at 7 am to brief about nation wide lockdown...." The Bhutanese.

Lhendup could not do anything than to became dumb like a non living object. As soon as the dawn curls up, he informed the news to rest of the family members and it was sad movement for him when he saw his mother filled with tensions.  Aum Cheki , a mother of three was worried of not having enough ration at that movement. However her worries of stocking enough rations was fully furnished when Asha gup in Collaboration with FCB delivered a tons of rice, salt ,oil and others. In fact, it was blissful movement for Aum Cheki  and lhendrup.


Lhendup's brother was stranded at wangdue phodrang (Bajo). He went in search of temporary job so as to cover up his college expenses. Unfortunately it was a big obstacle  for him and lhendrup's mother. Lhendup could do nothing but do video chat each day. "it was expected but at wrong time" lhendup told to Sonam while in video call. Days are passing and nights are dawning, lhendrup could not help his brother home . It was 5th day of lockdown.


Toward the evening of 5th day of lockdown and As we bask under the sun rays rushing inside through open window, lhendup pointed to a big birds circling in the air and  smiled...

Beauitiful hike to Dungtsho (Conch lake) via phajoding, Thimphu

  Dungtsho trek is getting popular among Bhutanese. Even if not, it is true that the trek to lake is getting popular among the people who live in Thimphu. The trip is favorable for honeymoon among young couples, pilgrimage among elderly and week-end energy for office workers. It is two days journey from Thimphu- Motithang base camp.  Many travelers prefer to halt a night at Thuji Drak ( holy camp among young monks) and I recommend it unless you have strong legs to withstand speed of horse. On the next day, it is advisable to start the journey to the lake as early as 5 o’clock to enjoy the beautiful view of early sun on green summer mountains. What else you need to know? If you are planning a trip to Dungtsho, you might consider talking to someone who has been there recently to get updates of the journey. In case you could not find   and worried, please consider following essentials while you are planning trip. A pair of good and strong shoe to keep yourself moving t...

Blogging and its opportunity to make money. Story of my Adsense partnership approval success.

  A Year ago, I started blogging without having much idea about it. I was introduced to blogging by Mr. Nidup Jamtsho, a very good friend of mine and also an enthusiastic blogger (nidupjamtsho.com) and YouTuber ( Mr. Nidup). We talked about  lot of opportunities, an opportunity to earn. Our major conversation used to be about online earning. Bitcoin mining, SFI, Pi mining, YouTubing, and blogging used to be our hot conversation. I would like to confess that I have tried all of them. However, none was successful as I wish but I was never tired of doing it. Frankly, it was difficult for me to hide the feeling of quitting from myself. I used to hide the feeling of quitting and used to involve in money talk with friends to inspire myself. I used to tell my friends, classmate, and family about blogging and the opportunity. I tried blogging from last year and applied three times for AdSense partnership approval. I have to wait for two weeks to get a reply mail from AdSense Company...

Disability: Reflection from graduating social work student

  Hello Readers, This article contains self reflected observation and personal changes I experienced after going through the model called  "FSP 405:Working with persons with disability" as a part of my bachelor degree in social work at Samtse College of Education. Reflection 1: is   it disability or the society that makes people disabled? The concept of disability is dynamic and it can be influenced heavily by the individual factors and societal factors. The question of whether disability is primarily caused by the individual’ condition or societal factor is a complex and heated debate for quite long time. Well, I stand with fact that some disabilities are result of innate physical or cognitive limitation, it is the societal response to these limitation that determines the extent to which individual are disabled. You and I as a part of society, it is our responsibility in constructing environments, systems and attitude that enables the live of all people. So, how can ...
