Tumbling down the wall

The dusk accompained by downpour as we neared our destination. Allinated to the environment, yet the people there were welcoming and perfectly hospitable. Reached Bumdeling,Trashiyangtse(eastern Bhutan) for the very first time. An excursion during 2nd semester to Rigsum Goenpa, a monastery in the hills. We halt our nights at Bumdeling Lower school.

It was after supper, I went out for toilet with a friend of mine (Praba). He was fiddling his cell phone and I proceeded further. We went behind a concrete building.
I sensed a drainage and a flower garden along. It was pitch dark. Blindly I jumped over the garden and took a step.....

Accidentally I tumbled down the wall. I just felt goose bumps as I rolled down. Praba hurriedly followed behind me. I was already at the bottom of the wall. He was giggling, looking at me with his deemed cellphone light.

Luckily I didn't lose any of my bones. Perhaps I did had little scratches over my arms and butt, but it wasn't a fatal accident, my bones remained in their original position.

Praba called friends for help and we got back to room. Hilarious moment it was, I blushed as our lady mates smeared anti in factant cream over scratches. Meanwhile they teased me by my nickname 'Gondho'. Laughter broke when ladies joked about a rolling egg over wall, which never broke. Other guys repeatedly pulled my legs, reminding me about the accident. They said, our Gondho(egg) was about to break today.

The following morning, I just went around to see the wall.
humorous memory!!!

Rada Nyekhang

I was born in the spring of the wood Dog year 1994 in a ramshackle nearby Rada Lhakhang. The Lhakhang, also known as the Rada Nyekhang, is located in Gangthangkha, at the heart of erstwhile Wangdue town. Just beneath the Lhakhang is the district court. Whenever I visit my home, my mother prepares a bottle of locally brewed wine(ara) to be offered as serkyem ( Ser means gold and Kyem refers to beverage)to appease our deity Ap Radap . She insists me to visit the Rada Nyekhang to seek guidance and blessings of Ap Radap , as I was born a\nd brought up at Wangdue. My childhood was mostly in the woods of Cypress near the Lhakhang, playing in the dust, says my mother. Renovated Lhakhang Ap Radap was revered as a deity by the reincarnation of Chana Dorji, Mondey Phurpa. Mondey Phurpa accompanied Ap Radap to Radagang ( Rada Nye ), located at Sha Khotokha . Early stories of Ap Radap dates back to the times when he was born as ...

The Premiere Institute

As final sun sets at Peak of Learning, my attachments grew more. Perhaps I am certain that memories be only a priceless moments and a best storyteller. I felt no more butterflies in my stomach, in fact I never wanted to leave the place. Anyhow my gadget have enough college photographs saved for future rememberance. The College gate with western architecture painted in Bhutanese traditional style stands in its unique identity. Perhaps the Institute founded sometimes in late 1960's is nearly fifty years now and in span of few years ahead, it's Golden Jubilee, Fifty years anniversary will be celebrated. Magnificent Clock tower attached with Auditorium is functional for differnet occassions acomodating few hundered people. Morning assemblies, official functions and night shows takes place. At weekends movies were screened. Whenever I got into Auditorium, I would have quizzical look on unfamiler paintings at ceilings. Probably it...
