Ruminating over one Crazy and scary moment back then…..

-
Spring was already in Punakha. Evening walk and weekend dinner was popular with us.  A close friend of ours (esp.Sonam & Mine), Tshering Dorji, we fondly call him “Gentle” had been hospitalized due to tuberculosis (TB). Every Saturday evening, we usually take our time off and go out for a dinner. That very day two of us had decided to visit our friend and then join our other three girls for the dinner. We prepared some dishes for our friend, bought some juice and snacks and then left Punakha.  He had been hospitalized at Punakha general hospital since a week ago. We greeted our friend and spent almost an hour there. Dusk has already started to spread over Punakha valley by the time we decided to leave. We waited for almost 15 min and couldn’t find a single empty cab passing by. Huh!!! What a bad Luck…a speeding car stopped in front of us. We got lift. I still remember us jumping into the car with an enemorous smile. Back at Mitsena our three friends had already reached the place to dine. We could not make them wait anymore. There were two guys in the car; a Bhutanese guy who was driving and an Indian guy with mustache was sitted in the front seat.
During that time “Khegpas” had been the talk of the town. Inside the cab, it was deep silence. The driver received a call. ‘We got what we wanted. There are two….we are about to reach the hotel... Don’t worry I will take care of it”.. He responded the call. The way he responded the call made us boggle our mind and more over the Indian guy with mustache made us more perplexed. In the back seat two of us stared at each other and without speaking a word we knew what we were thinking. I looked at the back of the car and saw a rope. That made me very sure about those two guys. For the first time ever in our life we felt we made the greatest mistake by taking the lift. Both of our hands were on our cell phone.
It was just 5km journey and yet we found it too long. As we approached near Khuru town, we said the driver to stop the car and we got out immediately. Without a word we rushed inside a shop. We forgot to thank them for the lift. We relaxed for few min inside the shop, stared at each other’s face and then our mouth opened after almost 15 min rest. We talked about what would have really happened if those two were real khegpas. Luckily we weren’t kidnapped but those two guys really scared us to death.

Our three friends had been waiting for us since an hour ago. As we reached there, we rushed to voice out our scary experience within last one hour. They laughed. Indeed they just thought that it was a cock and bull story made by us, though it wasn’t. We still don’t know whether those two guys were Khegpas or not... but they made our one hour so scary and today chewing over that makes it more memorable. Thanks to those two for giving us the lift.

Friendship Day Special

-
The first Sunday of August is considered as a Friendship Day and this year it was on 3 rd August. Many beautiful quotes flowed on social websites like Facebook , Wechat and Twitter. I started receiving amazing text in my cell phone. The world celebrated the day with beautiful words for their friend and I didn't stay away anymore. I joined the people in wishing all my friends a Happy friendship Day. There is no better way to start my first post of August with this piece. I sincerely dedicate this piece to one of my friend. Who says opposite gender can’t make a good friend. Actually that was my notion during my schooling days. A decade ago, back in Haa I first met my friend. Who would dare to talk with him; he was then the most serious guy we have ever seen.  We weren't really a friend during our schooling days. I was too scared of him and I always made myself to stay away from him. I hate encountering him on my way. We could hardly see him with a...

My Unfinished Dream

-
I left my cell phone at home, and didn’t recall bringing my Lunch Box. I nearly missed my bus. I tried opening my mail, Alas!!! It says “Wrong Password… Try again”. What’s wrong?? Nothing was going well today. “Was it really going to be my Bad Hair Day…?” I whispered to myself . I gazed around and looked for someone to talk to. Just then my eyes were on an orange envelope lying in my unzipped bag. My hands were faster than my thought. Quickly I reached to the envelope. The address clearly says it was for me. Actually nothing can excite me than receiving a letter and going through it. I was just a second away from opening it when a shadow appeared in front of me and found myself talking to the stranger. I left the letter back in my bag unopened. It was a week ago I received a letter. In the rush for some work I forgot to go through it. The ray of summer sun was brightly peeping through my bedroom window. It was Sunday and it seemed a bright day. To the left of my pillow, my phone...

My Unrevealed Crush

“zaii……… kay Namesey meay soft du…..” I thought. I closed my eyes to feel the voice of a stranger seated behind me. It was 9 th April 2012. I was on my way from Chubu hot spring in Punakha. After around four hours of journey, finally I reached chuzom; the confluence. I caught a cab and sat inside. By then, I was fully exhausted like an old tire. The cab driver was looking for few more passengers. After an hour of waiting he got 2 passengers and now only one to look for. Dusk started to pull in and my heart was beating rapidly. We were about to leave when a young guy approached our cab…… The voice of that stranger was soft. He was tall. Every girl dreams to fall for a tall, dark, and handsome guy. It was 6:30 pm when we started our journey towards Haa. The silence in the cab was broken by the guy. It seems like he knows the driver well. They kept on talking and I humbly listened to them. I was lost in my fantasy world. I wanted to talk but I was nervous as hell. For the first tim...
