BP-1-0059 was the bus
I journeyed finally stopped at the much awaited destination. The place
considered as the most remote fragment of the country. The only district that shares its boundary with Sarpang to west,
Trongsa to North-west, Bumthang to North, Monger to East and Pamagatshel and
Samdrup Jongkhar to East. I know it’s the last chance for me to adieu my
seat number 13. With full confusion surrounded by me I was left with limited
words to utter about the beauty of my destination.
There were many uncommon
faces around me that made my appearance more confused. I still could visibly
remember defies I faced during my first arrival to this places. The uncommon
faces still hunts me, the hustle and bustle of few people made me more
confused. I have faced countless encounters in taking my entire luggage around
the uncommon faces. After taking my luggage out of the bus I started my journey
to an unknown destination with much of concerns deep inside my unsettled mind.
I have scarcely passed through few shops. There were many uncommon faces still
to observe my confused footsteps. Still I continue to search a place for
relaxing and finally my footsteps took me to Bajay hotel, a hotel famous for
its name. Starting that night a hotel befitted my finest place and would be
remembered for rest of my life. Before it is dusk I have booked a
room for few days. After that I became much peaceful and content. Nevertheless,
dinner is the next test I still have in my mind. Relaxing for few minutes I
headed again to nameless homes for dinner. Dinner was over with all the
different tests of the new places. After dinner I came back to the room and
took rest with more relaxed and complete exhausted self.
The night seemed to
be cold and long for a lone person. The morning unlocked with much awaited task
for finding and knowing about the places. Now I am in the place where even my
grandparents didn’t stopover. During my school days as a student I hardly heard
of the places and its people. I have just known this place by its name from few
books and through other people. For me this place is fairly like in fantasy.
During hours of daylight I have journeyed all over the corners, talked with few
individuals around the places with much anticipating mood. My unknown
journeying to the places was made familiar by all the stray dogs, they barked
at me and made this place acquainted from the time. For sure by these all the
locals happened to know my first time visit in the place.
After few days of
hardship I could gradually started to recognize the places, people, the local
dialects and even the stray dogs started liking me. The surrounding became
familiar and I could sense the roaring of few streams near by the places.
During my few days
break I happened to encounter an elderly man who has accompanied me for knowing
this place into bits and pieces. The culture of the reasons and I have shared
my drive here with wide opened. In fact, he was the first to know about my
visit. I have shared all the reasons for my stepping here. He was also the first
to know about my first placement after graduation. Before I joined my choice of
schools this place has offered me the best Bajay hotel to re-gain my energy
level after a long journey, the hungry stray dogs has known me, the unknown
faces became familiar, the old bus that I have journeyed once has become the
luxurious Ferrari and elderly man became my first friends.
The howling of hungry
stray dogs once upon a time keeps me awake through the nights and made me
bothered upon the peaceful snores of birds in the forest. After a lifelong experiencing about this
place, now I am a teacher in ZHEMGANG destiny.
