The stay wouldn’t have
been so fruitful without warm hospitality of Kiwis and the unforgettable experiences
with Bhutanese diaspora here. It was in the beginning that I quite often missed
home and and the love of my family but now I have endured enough to feel myself
gravitated to this place. I will
definitely miss the life I had in New Zealand, the leather couch where I spent most of my
leisure time reading books and browsing internet and studying for the
examinations. The pet doggy, Casper, which always loved rice and
chicken but the owner wouldn’t allow, so I used to feed him whenever we are
alone and he loves it. Casper is cunning enough to acts like he hated me
in his owner’s presence; even if I call, he simply slinks away with his
tail down, that is very dodgy Casper.
Apart from my normal
studies, I was happy to be able to attend Buddhist teachings and Meditation
classes regularly on Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday. I met many wonderful
people of different nationality with strong urge to practise Buddhism which
always encouraged me too. We went around together, we gathered for shared meals
and we were eager to see each other pursuing common goal. The pleasant moments
with those people will be one of the hardest thing to let go off my memory. I hope that I have described the facts about Bhutan in idyllic pictures on political, Buddhism, cultural and GNH to
lure them; I can see keenness in some of them to visit Bhutan. Honestly speaking, I understood
and appreciated Bhutan more than ever before while making them feel the same.
These last few days
always makes me feel sentimental to look back. But that is the way of life,
after all nothing lasts forever. Speaking strictly from Buddhist point of view,
everything is impermanent and realising the fact that it is going to end one
day, I don’t crave for longer stay anymore.
As the course ends, I
can see some of my friends excited to start with newly offered jobs and some
little nervous of finding one. I feel more excited than ever before to join
back to Drukair and can’t actually wait to get back in touch with our old
friends, A319s. It makes better sense after having decent knowledge of what I
am doing. I am indebted to Drukair for time, money and faith entrusted on me. I
have to keep this feeling resonating and repay not just with words but with
attitude and approach at my workplace.
I am equally excited to
get back to my co-workers with whom I used to share so much of fun and laughter
on daily basis. Our topics of conversations includes professional to politics,
business to religion, success to failure and anything human mind can think of.
I will be back to same business which relieves me a lot to think about.
As articulated in
foregoing, I feel gravitated to New Zealand for spending almost one
precious year of my life but still I always feel I belong to Bhutan, where the
life so complacent, social vitality is still very strong, sustainability and
happiness are deliberated on day-to-day basis. Afterall, whatever our career or
personal goals may be, the ultimate destination is to make oneself happy. I am
coming home-Happy Bhutan.
