Celebration of Krishna Janmashtami


Every day we experience something new, unknown and unseen which we never thought about it. The thing that we come across becomes a part of experience in our life.
The celebration of Krishna Janmashtami on 28th of August 2013, that was celebrated at Hindu Mandir, near Sherubtse College, Kanglung, has left a print in my heart. The programme was held jointly by the public and college students.

For the couple of days, I was eagerly waiting for the celebration of Krishna Janmashtami (Birth Anniversary of Lord Krishna) as I am interested in such things.
The programme started at 8am with few students and the public in and around of the campus. Mr. Madeo Prasad Kafley was the main person involved to perform puja (ritual), while others were busy in the preparation of the programme. Everyone was busy with their own works.

As evening took its lead, the guests start arriving and immediately the small gathering turned into a mass. Having served them with tea and Prasad, the vhajan team started to lead and then soon we could hear the melody of spiritual songs. Many people showed their talents in singing while others could be seen clapping their hands never knowing that they were dissolved in the sweetness of the melody songs.
Lord Krishna is 8th son of Vasudeva and Devaki and 8th incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He is also a supreme Lord in Hindu religion and his birthday is celebrated based on Hindu calendar and it was 2,126 birthday of Lord Krishna.

The programme finally ended at around 12:30 am with the devotees praying for Lord Krishna. It was such an enjoyable moment that ever happened. The celebration has been really an enjoyable moment.

Students during examinations

I woke up early, freshen, prepared breakfast and left for school as usual. It is summer and quite hot at Paro. Students are having midterm exams. After assembly an exam starts. I went to one of the classrooms where class eleven arts and class twelve commerce students were sitting for an examination. The moment I entered the classroom, students remained silent with their head low. It seems they were recalling what they have memorized and trying to write on the table so that they won’t forget later. After five minutes, I distributed the question papers followed by answer sheets. I announced them that first fifteen minutes is to be spending for reading the question papers. Exactly at 9:00AM, writing exams start. Some students were still reading an essay while others started writing. Everyone seems excited as if they knew everything or else the questions contain whatever they have read. After an hour, some students asked for additional answer sheets whereas some students were los...

Stories from small kids

We were sitting down for the studies. I was by the door side, asking little ones to study. Tenzin, a class two student raised her hand wanting to share her story with us. I asked, ‘Tenzin, what happened?'. She stood up and said, ‘madam, can I share my story with you all’. We all gave her the permission to share her stories that has stored for almost 10 months. I could sense the happiness in her smile. She was too young to fall in love. She started sharing her love story. She said that he was from the same class and smart in study as well. ‘Madam, I liked and love him so much. He is our class captain. He is smart and intelligent. Sometimes, he asks me money and pencil. I don’t like when he talks with other girls but I love fighting with him because I could spend some time with him’. We listened to her story. I was totally confused. I didn’t k know what to say at this time. I could see her clenched fist.  Other students started laughing adding some points to Tenzin’s story....
