I had a wonderful trip to phajodhing during the auspicious (birth anniversary of Guru Rinpoche) day with my family. It was a long and tiring journey. Before our trip we planned to eat our lunch at the phajodhig tsho. We all moved out early in the morning at five so as to reach our destiny on time. On the way I saw a small tail with fur. I, at first thought it was a dog but when I told this to my parents, I finally found out that that creature was a bear. I then walked at side of my parents. We reached at Phajodhing after a long six hour walk. There I can feel the beauty of the place. The foul air replaced by the fresh air and the ugly polluted environment replaced by the green grass and forest. I felt like I was in paradise. Sometimes I cannot describe the place because it is beyond my description. There were several lhakhangs at a distance from each other. We visited all the lhakhangs and offered butter and prostrated. We also visited some sacred place (Ney). It was already two and we are still at phajodhing. I thought we would never get a chance to visit the tsho. Some says it is a long two hours walk. So the plan was unsuccessful. At three we started to move back but I felt like I was moving from paradise to the lost paradise.

The following day past without any fun and activity but eagerly waiting for the final of 2014 world cup between Germany and Argentina. I was with Germany and my three brother were with Argentina. We had a bet. If I wins I get five hundred each from my three brothers and if I lose, I should give five hundred each to my brothers. It was a great match. Fortunately the Germans won by one goal and lifted their fourth trophy. It was sorrowful and heart touching when the players were crying. I won the bet. That was the greatest bet I had ever won.

Busy week

It was a wonderful sunny day and I was with my father in the market. We were making ready the necessary items needed for my brother while working. It was a long day shopping and I felt like sleeping peacefully without the noise of traffic and human. When we came back at home it was already three, so we rushed in packing the items as my brother have to report at four pm. I, for a while thought, if time could be like a fly without wings. That time I was as fast as speeding cheetah. Then I took some fruit juice to relax. At three thirty my brother left for work. I heard a voice call. He was my cousin brother Kinley and he actually was calling me for help to change his car’s tyre. I and my brother went to workshop and it was a very long wait until we changed the tyre. At eight we came back. I ate the dinner at nine and until four am, I watched my favorite game,” the world cup tournament quarter final”.

Next morning our family members were called for a match. Early in the morning at eight, we all gathered at changlimithang stadium. Our enemy looks stronger than us but we put them into test. It was a great match as I scored the winner goal. Our team were so thirsty and hungry after the match. But we again played another match at motithng. That time all the four goals were scored by my brother. In that match my brother was the hero and man of the match. After the match, we went back to home for four pm lunch. I felt asleep after my tummy was full. That day I missed the world cup match.

In the next following days, I was at my village helping my relatives to plant potatoes. I also did some other agricultural works. From the work I did, I got more knowledge about farm works.
