Once in a blue moon.

                               
“If wealth is loss, something is loss. If health is loss, everything is loss.” It is better nurture our health than anything before it is too late. Eating on time doesn't mean you are caring your health. The regular, if not a frequent cardiovascular exercise is obligatory. I regret for not doing an exercises for fitness of my body. If we couldn't do exercises, the playing of physical games are good for fitness.
 
During departmental tournament. 
I have my mind set to play football to let my body keep fitness. One who know me will be astonished when they see me playing football. In fact I am playing football for the first time after making here to college. It’s not so easy to play football. One have to have a unceasing practice.

Study tour to Chukha Hydro Power (CHP).


Visiting the CHP and Tala Hydro Power (THP) will be given to the students of College of Science and Technology when student are in 5th semester. On 15th October, 2013 Electronic and Communication engineering and Electrical engineering students’ tour to CHP was scheduled and 17th October, 2013, tour to THP was scheduled. We should get up early in the morning at 5:00am and get ready by 5:30am to move from College to CHP on 15/10/2013. No sooner did we walk up to get ready, the power shut down. It was a bad luck for us. With the mobile light, we hurry up in getting ready. We could finally get ready to move. We move only at 6 pass in the morning.

Singing and shouting to the top of voice was starting scene of our journey. After a short travel, we are tired of singing and shouting and we quit. We resume our scene of start of journey after we had tea and snack at Dantak Cafeteria.
Dantak Cafeteria
We visit the Power plant of Chukha and next the station. The only I can reflect here is about the units. There are 4 units (generators) and each unit has a capable of generating 84MW theoretically and which makes the total of 336MW. The two unit shut down during the winter season when the volume of the river drops down. At present, as it was summer and volume of the river has swollen, all the 4 units are under used. It is generating 10% extra than that of theoretical value. 1967 was the year of starting of project and was completed in 1988. Soon the Corporation will celebrate the silver jubilee as its running 25 years old.

We made a visit to Tala Dam on same day. Dam of Tala is located 23 km ahead of Power House of Tala.

It was 2:00 in the afternoon. We are all exhausted. We don’t even had a lunch and we are all waiting to reach one of the Restaurant. At 2 pass in the afternoon we had a lunch at one of the restaurant.

Friends again resume the scene of starting of journey but within short period of time all were silence. It was owing to heavy lunch and all were snoring. It was interesting tour and I should say a trips to CHP for enjoyment.


After a tiring journey we made back to College at 6 pass in the evening. I was having an assignment to be submitted next day (16/10/2013) but I couldn't write more than a definition. I decided to print the type one. And I remembered the next tour (tour to THP) would be more interesting than Tour to CHP before i went to sleep at 8 pass in the evening.

Trend was introduced. Our Annual Tshechu in our village is our enjoyment.

We contribute in our small way to our society.
An annual tshechu for my village is schedule on 8th, 9th and 10th of 10th month of Bhutanese calendar. If the tshechu is to be conducted on 10th month of Bhutanese calendar we the students cannot attend Tshechu as we are still in the school but our Lama Rinpoche (Buli Trulku) and the coordinators of Tshechu postpone the date of tshechu one month behind so that we the student can witness the Tshechu. Witnessing the Tshechu itself will purify our sin as great master said. We are very fortunate to have an opportunity to witness the Tshechu.
It was in the year 2009, when I was in class 11, the significant changes to our tshechu was introduced. During the tshechu time, the cultural show in between the Tshechu dance was performed by group of student of our villages. Under the coordinators of Ata Pema Wangchuck, Ata Yonten Chojay and Khotken Dorji Dubu (all three of them were the student of ILCS, Institute of Language and Cultural Studies) and the members including myself , Khotken Pema Dorji, Khotken Sonam Yeshi, Ata Wangdi Phuntsho, Khotken Lobzang, Charo Kinga, Charo Karma Wangda (Dungmanma Village) and Ata Sonam Wangchuk performed the cultural part. The most memorable song and the dance among we performed was the Lopen Phagpa Jutshen Jamyang Khen.  The song and the step of the dance are still fresh in my mind. Reflecting back the memorable event of 2009, an annual Tshechu of my village really touching till the bottom of my heart. It was the good trend that our cultural program coordinators of 2009 has ever introduced.

Unfortunately in the year 2010, due to unavoidable circumstance an Annual Tshechu couldn’t postponed to 11th month of Bhutanese’s calendar. We couldn’t witness the Tshechu.

The coordinators ata Tashi Dorji,Yeshi Norbu and Pema Dorji coordinate the cultural parts during an Annual Tshechu of year 2011. Looking in to the memories of 2011, the enjoyment we had like the funny part, interesting part and irritating parts all together make me to say “we did that and waiting for our juniors to follow the trend”.
 
2011
Now it was my turn to coordinate in the year 2012, during an Annual Tshechu. All the members for the year 2012 was young. My brother Gom Dorji, Charo Kinga Dorji and Charo Chaten help me in coordinating an events. Let the members be young but the coordination is more important. I could finally succeed my part in coordinating the cultural event of 2012. It was my achievement owing to my hardship and dedication towards the works. The success of that event will be part of my memory in my life.
 
2012
I dream if above memories rebound back so that I can once more experience the enjoyment memories. It is sad to know that the memories can no way rebound back. If I think beyond the thinking as member and coordinator of cultural part during tshechu, I have few thought coming on the way of sorrow path. I have already seen the first coordinator couldn’t attend second time and second coordinator couldn’t third time. What it signified? The only answer could be the impermanence of life and the busy of once life. When one is getting older and older, he or she cannot continue what he or she has done in previous year. I am feeling deeply sad to know I am following their path.

Finally, let me never forget to thank our Lama Rinpoche, Khenpo Rinpoche, and peoples of village for giving us a platform to perform like cultural show.

 Let our peoples be always happy and prosperity always follow them and long live our Eminence The Buli Trulku Rinpoche and Khenpo Rinpoche.

Experience is important than theory

                            
We always see the fault in someone while they initiate any programs but we realize when the responsibility come to our shoulder that how difficult in initiating program. It’s always easy to say than doing. I come to know coordinating small program demand a cooperation among the organizers and organizing the organized event beforehand.

If we organizing the event for ourselves and with invitation of guest is again different. Organizing event with invitation of guest is more difficult than organizing within. If event is not going smoothly as per the plan, it’s our failure and shame to the organizers. In order to do away the failure, prepare for event with coordination among organizers.

It was lesson for me as a Vice President of Radio Club at College of Science and Technology when organizing a gathering with invitation of Electronic and Communication Engineering Department HoD (head of department). I faced difficulties as I was organizing an event with invitation of guest for a first time. The mistake I did at the beginning of event will be the lesson for future organization. I am happy that with full cooperation of my friends, we could finally make an event a successful, enjoyable and memorable one.

Cheers guys!!!

The Fete day was successful and let thanks members





           The 26th September, 2013 was another remarkable day for Radio Club (NDLD) of College and Science and Technology. The day was observed as College Foundation day. We the members of Radio Club organized that day as a fete day. The preparation for fete day began a week before a day without notice of other students. The cooperation among the members (3rd years and 4th year ECE) result in making a day successful.

As soon the tradition program for foundation day was ended, the chief guest (Director of College), staffs and students disperse for the game to be played. With limited coupons for the day as we have no time in making. In deed the Gangotri group of Jaigoen, India had agreed to sponsor the entire necessary coupons. Other than that we didn’t face any problem. The small problem get tackle when our club members work together to obtained required number of coupons.

Among the games that present for fete day was car racing being most attractive. This was my view. The other games may be seen most attractive for other people. The games like Fishing the juice, Ball and glass, dart and board, wheel of fortune, ring the bell, football and tyre, driving coin and Tombola made a day interesting.
 
Car Racing
Fishing the juice wasn’t bad. The no stopping customer gave a coordinator a tough time in hot and sunny day. The sweeping of sweat from his face with his handkerchief was frequent action we could noticed despite of coordinating the players. And the calling of customer by saying “fishing… fishing… fishing….” was what we could heard.
fishing....

Coming to the wheel of fortune, a number start with 1 till 8 and addition a jackpot. A coordinator explaining to the player that no one will get prize if it stop at jackpot. As soon as all player choice the number, he turn the wheel of fortune by saying jackpot... jackpot…jackpot……..
And a boy along with his friend (girl) was coordinating the ‘ring the bell’. A player comes to play to hit the gong (bell), so he tied the player eye with a piece of cloth. The game wasn't fair as the player friend’s guide to hit the bell by giving instruction till player hit the bell. It was only when I go around to collect coupon from coordinator of this game made a game a fair (not fair as preceding year). There was some player blaming me not allowing to guide the players. Let the player blame me. I won’t mind unless we have profit.


Right of the area of ‘ring the bell’ was a boy coordinating the ‘football and tyre game’. Students, a fan of football making queue to play that game. He collect football and gave to the players time and again. His black shoes almost become a sneaker by the end of the game.

Bending down to collect fallen glasses repeatedly whenever I see was the scenario that I could see in the field of ‘glass and ball game’. The exhausted coordinator picking up the glasses and build the pyramid (not exactly) to the customer waiting to play.
Two beautiful ladies giving a colorful dart to the player to hit the board. The player aiming to the inner circle of the board but never they could hit even the outer circle. In fact we are making profit for our club.
‘Driving coin’ the game making profit with limited resource. We just have to manage bucket, water, glass and coins. Two ladies coordinating the game was having a good time in coordinating the game.

“Tombola….tombola… tombola…… the players are all students, no players from staff side” was the coordinator of Tombola speak out in microphone frequently. It was another game that the club made profit.

And the committee members of club like President go around with seal to seal the winning coupon to give to the winners. I was going around like any other committee member to collect coupon to return to the counter. Coupon sellers at the counter are busy selling the coupons.
The fourth year girls was busy dealing with customer who comes in food stall.

To our surprise the prize for the winner get exhaust before the estimated time. The club would have made good profit if prize shop would have sustain till 2:00pm. We regret for limited prize we kept. Mistake are the lesson for future fete day. Finally the winners for the lottery are drawn at 2:00 pass in the afternoon.


With my open heart and soul, let me thank every individual for your good cooperation for a day. Let me never forget to thank to 2nd year ECE for their helping hand for the fete day. Without the full cooperation among the club members would not result to successful fete day. To my fellow mate, let’s follow the bright footprint of seniors, the 4th year ECE.You may also like this

Always happy with who we are.


If we look beyond the limit of view, we see something more different than what it supposed to be looked like. If we think beyond the limit of thinking (like thinking of anxiety) will add more stress on what we have. Thinking about something which isn't a stress but thinking time and again will make it a stress. Always have a limitation. Over the limit is never going to be good.


Never upset with comparing with other people in terms of wealth, beauty and so on. Always happy with what you have and who you are. We are the best among other in our ways. Some may excel in academics, some in the field of sport, some in politics and some in all. I am sure you are also good in one of the field I mention or field that I left out for mentioning. The people with wealth will have his own misery within himself. It is the law of nature all people are subjected to suffer. No one is out of the bowl of suffering. It is just a matter of time. A rich people becoming poor one day and poor people becoming rich one day, and many changes like inferior to superior and superior to inferior will occurs ultimately. Never disappointed with those changes. It is just a nature of law.


Knowing the changes will happen to nature and to us, we should bold enough to resolve the hurdle. Every hurdles can be solved. Always be happy for any changes. You are everything for yourself. You can change the course of misfortunes. Think every misfortunes come along your way is due to fate. Believe in fate and be faithful to yourself.

Impermanence (Translated from oral speech of Buli Trulku Rinpoche),Did you ever see a death people coming back to world again

  
www.google.com
My first question to every reader “Did you ever see a death people coming back to world again?”  This question could be device that we the human should understand and takes action of our life. If you believe with above question then what could be solution to reborn back on the world. We are responsible for death of our apa, ama and sibling to reborn back to world if we are living after them. The absurdity associated in the society that great people noticed is that when their apa, ama or any sibling die, they cry for few days. But they forget after few days about death of his or her apa or ama. They start lying, bullying, killing and perform many task that involves sin. On top of his or her apa and ama is already in the ocean of anguish, the suffering (hell) as they did sin during stay on the earth, they will have extra burden of suffering as a result of his or her sibling doing deed related to sin on the earth. To pull our suffering apa and ama out of the hell, we should do good deeds to sentient being that has no sin.

It’s natural and every one of us think. A girl think, she is the most beautiful among the girls of the world. He is looking always to me. Seems he is admiring me. Now shall I say love you to him? And so on like praising words to her. These are the thought usually girls thinks.


On the other hand, boys do think similar to girls. I am handsome guy among the guys of the world. She is always looking to me. And so on that describes him in good way and praising him.  But nothing is permanence. Everything is impermanence. What we think are all lie. It has no truth in what we think about ourselves. In fact, what we think will harm us and let us to suffer one day. Always do good to others instead of all the nonsense by keeping the word impermanence of anything in our heart and soul.
