OTHER SIDE OF ME

There is a part of her that is dark Beneath that calm soul demon lurks Often wondered why demon dwells inside her But for so long she hasn’t received the answer She heard people calling her calm person Yet she reminded them of having darker side They laughed in disbelief She smiled knowing that it is also one of her side Not many see her darker side  With time she knew about the demon within The envious demon makes its appearance Whenever she becomes closer to someone Her demon hurts only people she care Often making them scared of her And she heard them telling her that too She wondered will anyone stand by her side with demon inside Her only answer was may be only insane will She searched for solution to kill the demons inside Then only did she get the hardest answer To stay away from the one she cares But she wont let it win not this time

Some years ago (high school) I listened to some talks by some well known people but it seems I was not that mature enough to grasp what they said. We were asked to sit in the multi-purpose hall. We were excited not to listen to the talks but to escape from the social work (SUPW) and the scorching sun. I don’t remember what speaker told us exactly because most of the time I was sleeping with my head on friend’s back while she shielded me from the view of teachers and the speaker. Somehow in the middle of the talk I heard the speaker telling us again and again   that our country Bhutan do not have anything such as powerful weapon, wealth or population that would define who we are. But what we have is something unique that none other has and that is our culture and tradition. Our unique culture and tradition define who we are. Well seriously speaking I didn’t know what he was actually talking about. And it didn’t even bother me to ponder over the things he said. As soon as the talk c...

My face book home page is filled with the earthquake news that has brought major destruction in Nepal. As I scroll down the page, I see the images of people killed, structure destroyed, road damaged and a lot more.  Tears wells in my eyes when I think about the people who are undergoing this phase right now.  The death rate is also increasing. When natural disaster like this happens, we become prey to it. There are safety measures’ but lives are still lost .so  we can only hope that such disaster won’t strike again. For all those people who have lost their dear ones, I am very sorry. I pay my deepest condolence and I hope that such hours of darkness gets over soon. When disaster like this occurs, we are reminded about how fragile our life is and about our impermanence.  We often tend to think more about what has not yet happened than to thank about what we have got so far. One day such things happen and you never got a chance to say thank you to all those wonde...

I was a lazy person when I was in CST and in some way I still am. All I ever wanted was to keep myself within the four walls of my room and believe me it was not boring.  The assignment, term test, presentation and a lot more was there to keep us fully engaged and I do miss this things. I don’t remember of going out much except the frequent visit to the goenpa below our college. Whenever I go to goenpa my friends would make fun of me and say “are you going for your leejong(exercise) ?“ well I once told them that I was going for leejong  and since then they didn’t leave me alone for using the proper dzongkha word. Actually I really thought of taking a walk to goenpa daily because one of my friends told me that I look weak and fragile and need to do some exercise. But then I could not stick to the schedule and yes I am still weak and fragile. May be one fine day I will seriously carry out my physical exercise. Even when there are holidays for two to three days, I will prefer...

Building envelope is the thermal barrier between the inside and the outside of the building. It has various components such as external walls, roofs, ceiling, windows and doors. It interacts with the three parts of the building; exterior, interior and the envelope itself.  Due to the wide range in the building materials, climate, standards and practice of building design and  construction it has complicated the analysis of the building envelop though the top and the primary priorities remains same. The primary function of the building envelope is to provide comfortable indoor environment for the occupant. The other functions are security, fire protection, privacy and shelter from changing weather condition and also benefit such as aesthetic, ventilation and the view to the outdoors. It also improves the quality of life and reduces the health care cost if proper envelope is provided. The main priority beside its basic function is the energy conservation. Building envel...

 As i stare at nothingness in front of me, a feeling of emptiness started to crawl into my soul longing for someone whom I have not met for years. It is not the first time I have felt those emptiness but every time I feel, I fall victim to it. I could not do anything to erase those feelings. May be sometime it is better to let the time heal. But I know that it will take a very long time since I have problem of letting go. Or maybe I never let anyone go.    Will he forgive me if I go back to that place?   The   question lingers in my mind. I stare at his photo in one of social network and wondered why after all this years he called me and suddenly told me that he is getting married. Is it because there is still hope for us to get together or is it something else. I shut down my lap top and tried to drive his thought away, but the harder I tried the longer it persisted. I took the first flight next day and by afternoon I was back to where it all started. ...

I am a little less scared dear For I know I have you with me I am a little more hopeful For you let me see the brighter side  I fell for you little more every day For you make me feel secure I ask little less about the puzzle of life And I thank more for what I have For the little more memory everyday Thank you little more day by day And In between the little more and the little less The journey of life suddenly seem  worth the ride
