Autumn Season


 
 In almost every corner of the world, autumn is a time for harvest, reflection, and reverence for our ancestors, and many fall holidays reveal those very themes.
One of the purposes of the changes of seasons is to notice changes we might not have if everything stayed the same. Each season prompts us to reflect and go inward. It is a time to pause and review our lives. As we take the time to stop and honor the life changes we are experiences, we build a bridge between our everyday existence and the sacred. This year on Oct 3rd the Chinese will celebrate the Harvest Moon Festival by eating special moon cakes and catching the moon’s refection in a bowl of water. A similar holiday is observed in Vietnam-the mid-fall festival of Trung Thu-where people celebrates the beauty of the moon by eating moon cakes, lighting incenses, and making special star lanterns. And in Korea it is called Chu Suk- Korean Thanksgiving.

some signs of good Friends

 Friends will come and go in your life, but more important than how long a friendship lasts, is that a good friend will love you for who you are. The way you can tell the sign of a good friend is by looking at the actions they take –big and small – that show they care.

Some common signs of a good friend include

• someone who will support you no matter what
• someone you can trust and who won’t judge you
• someone who won’t put you down or deliberately hurt your feelings
• someone who is kind and has respect for you
• someone who will love you because they choose to, not because they feel like they should
• someone whose company you enjoy
• showing loyalty
• being trustworthy and willing to tell you the truth, even when it’s hard
• someone who can laugh when you do
• someone who is willing to stick around when things get tough
• someone who makes you smile
• someone who is there to listen
• someone who will cry when you cry.

The Cracked Pot- Chinese Wisdom

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the end of the pole, which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and half pots of water.

Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But poor cracked pot was ashamed of it own imperfection, and miserable that it only could do half of what it had been made to do. After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream, “I am ashamed of myself because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.” The old woman smiled and said “did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side. That’s because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, while we walk back, you water them. For two years, I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.”

Each of us has our own unique flaw…..but it’s the crack and flaws we each have, that make our lives together very interesting and rewarding. You have just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them. Message to my cracked pots friend, have a great life and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path.

my first journey to Samtse

journey from east to south

i started my journey to the south when i am selected for the teaching profession by the RUB in the year 2010. i have no idea about  any of the place in the southern region since its my first journey. without having any information of the place i chose Samtse college. after that i was tensed that with whom i will go to that place and who will be my friend down there. i worried a lot after choosing Samtse as my college but my Ani said why r you worrying that much? you will get everything from there, they have big Bazaar. but still i inquired many of my friend from my class who got selected for teaching profession but they all chose to go to Paro college. then i called other and got some information about some schoolmate who qualified for secondary B.Ed in Samtse. So my worries went off hearing that there are some who chose My College and i made a call to one of my still friend Neten Zangmo and Sangay Wangmo to get Bus Ticket for me so that i can go with them.

They agreed and they confirmed me the date of our Journey and it was on 16th March 2010 where i met one gentle man who is very talkative. he was my sit partner. he asked me a lot but my response was very limited to his question. he was also traveling for the first time to the south. in mid of our conversation he asked me where are you going? i said Samtse college  and i asked him what about you? then he smile and said Samtse college. after that we became friend and had many funny conversation. i still remember his word when he was receiving call from his uncle " nga ni me lek to no choeth ki Samtse ni....pura duth pa ge gang tshar  tey yoe......." something like this. and also he said that we don't have to feel said that we haven't reach in foreign countries like others because we reach some part of India and this is also a foreign country.
and this gentle man was not other then our opposition leader Jigme Tenzin.

after reaching here i looked for the big Bazaar but i could not see that BIG BAZAAR. i thought that the BIG BAZAAR will be somewhere in the distance from the Bus station. then passenger they started to unload their luggage from the bus and one tall man he started unload the bus. after finished unloading he is saying something (nepali/hindi) but i didn't understand what he said. i just give him a blank look. then i asked one of the passenger to explain and a grandmother said he is asking for money for unloading the luggage..........she gave him ten rupee..........
