" After the Fall, You Need to Rise" “I am sorry! You aren’t in the top 36”, either I heard it wrong or I didn’t want to comprehend what my friend just told me. I remember walking like a lump of flesh through Norzim Lam to the taxi parking, feeling totally devastated, numb and deserted. I couldn’t accept the fact that I couldn’t make it, was still in the denial stage. I started questioning myself, how can this happen to me? Where did it go wrong? What wasn’t enough in my preparation? These rattling questions came one after another, to which I didn’t have any answers as I gave my best, I burnt the flaming midnight oils, dedicated all my time in preparation and referred every relevant note, and Yes! Read all the God damn thick history books. So where did I falter, what could have been done more? Many questions, unsettling thoughts, and the world seemed like falling apart and ending just before my eyes. How do I face my parents? How do I tell them about my failure?...

                            “A Teacher from Heart, My savior” Teachers play a vital role in the lives of the students. Teachers are best known for the role of educating the students that are placed in their care. Of many attributes of being a teacher, I believe that a teacher should be passionate, empathetic and committed to arousing the determination and aspiration of students. Passionate teachers are distinguished by their commitment to achievement of their students. A committed teacher is concerned with the development of their students and they profoundly struggle in sustaining the students’ learning. They cultivate students’ curiosity and interest in learning. And I am fortunate to have come across such a teacher, who engaged not only in her profession but was committed to students’ development and their learning during my secondary school. ...

"Thailand: The land of straw" A crazy roller coaster ride, first the last-minute confirmation of scholarship, then to vacating my apartment to applying for the visa and packing everything I need for 2 years in the foreign land. Indeed, I became a calculative zombie trying to be awake to avoid last minutes hassle. Proud that I made it. The last few weeks have been a crazy ride, the confirmation from the Scholarship department came at the last minute and I wasn't left with adequate time to prepare. I have to take all my stuff from Gyalpozhing to my parent's place as I will be away for 2 years and the rule says we have to vacant our apartment. With the help of my dad and friends, I was able to ferry everything safely at Bumthang.   My Mom came with me till Paro to see me off, then on I was lucky that I had a friend from Taktse College who will be pursuing a graduate program with me in the same university, Faculty of Liberal Arts.

                                                     "A Bestfriend, a true friend" As a fresh gust of wind swept past me, I felt the strange warmth of the sun in Kanglung. My heart fluttered with each step as I approached the college gate. ‘How will be my first day at the college? What if I don’t get good friends? Will I be able to adapt to the hostel life?’ series of questions tormented my mind, making me nervous. I entered the college gate. Seniors directed me to the MPH hostel as my room was allocated there. My room was on the second floor. I was the first person in the room as I reported a day earlier. It had a brown door with large window panes, behind them hung white laced curtains. The cold breeze brushed my hair and cheeks. I felt like an empty, dried up well as I was alone in the room.
