The weeping Brother

-
Welcome 2015!! It took me almost a month to come up with my first post.

 “Was it him that never wanted to see his dying siblings, or was it his heart that never had the courage to bid them farewell or was it the influence of other that made him to stay away from all his siblings”… he was a brother who never had the chance to face his sibling at all their good and bad times. Blood is thicker than the water, a universal saying which sometime proved wrong!!!
In the recent time, I came across a person who lived the life of a lonesome despite having numerous siblings. A brother to six other siblings, he was the third eldest among them. Those were the days when they ate over a pot of rice and played in the same ground. Life isn't that easy to lead. Every new day takes its turn and land up with something new. More than three decades ago he became completely isolated from his own siblings. What is the use of living when you don’t have time to share you moments with the people you love??... But he had no choice.
The last time his two siblings were sick, he couldn't make it to visit them. On their dying bed, they called his name. They called to their brother who never turned up. They waited for him, trying hard to breath, in every breath they breathed, they called his name. Everyone waited for him, for he never came. They passed away with his name on their lips, tear in their eyes and pain in their heart. After spending your entire childhood together and sharing the love of same parents, how could one stay away?. I personally couldn't think of such situation.  Imagining such situation hurts and gives so much pain. We never know the reason why the weeping brother never turned up. There must be a good reason for it. May be he had no courage to bid them goodbye; a good bye which can’t be said with the word “see you again”.
Life is not always a fairy tale. Only few are fortunate to experience the fairy tale story. The brother hasn't met his siblings for so long and before he could express his emotion and reasons, they left him forever. I just wonder how he would be feeling inside, crying inside and killing himself with regrets. Life has given him a chance but he missed it. He turned out to be the brother who has missed the meaning of having siblings and valuing the worth of the so-called relationship. Yes! The weeping brother must be feeling low but he has no alternatives now…

The Winter Sun

I always had a fond memories with the winter sun. As December makes its way towards 2013,  I could feel the winter sun shining upon me. The winter sun always reminds me of my days back at Haa. The 1st of December, Sunday, I was outside my room in Mongar. The enormous and beautiful Sun was just above me and I was gazing the sun all alone... a nostalgic memories came flooding like a wild cataract. The warmth and feeling in the winter sun is very much different from the summer sun. The Happiness and excitement you feel in the morning when the sun rise and the sadness that touches your heart when the sun kisses the hills in the evening. The winter sun is always worth watching. Back at Haa,  despite the cold weather , winter is always fun. Our Local Festival Lomba and The snowfall lights up our winter days. In the afternoon we would be  outside in the sun talking and playing. Those precious times are always remembered. I always love winter. For me it is the time when friends and f

My Journey to vegetarianism

-
Every time you sit on the table for your meal, there is always a choice between kindnesses over cruelty. It’s never that easy to say no to meats. Sometime I just wonder how cruel we are; we never bothered to think over what is in our plate in front of us. There are some who cannot dine without a single meat menu and it has become a usual routine. In the present world, there are plenty of options and choices of foods for vegetarian. Why eat others, when we can’t bear the pain of a slightest cut on our body. This is just my thinking. In my case, it’s a different story. I never enjoyed eating meat. It doesn’t mean I am a religious or an animal lover. It was just a natural choice. I aren’t a vegetarian, I do eat dried meat like dry fish and Sikaam but not always. I haven’t tasted any other menu than those mentioned. A year ago I had bidden good bye to Sikaam and just a month ago I stopped the very appetitezer; dry fish. I find eggs too dirty to eat and that childhood notion has helped

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 smiling face; it’s true h
