30th May (11.01 PM)
Long been silent for the birth of Second Royal Baby due to COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, everything is in very rattling manners – bad economic situation, business closed, education shut, public in despair, a health worker in danger and government anxious.
Deep inside of me is burning and longing to see the Kupar of the Second Royal Child. Every time I surf through my FB expecting some updates on the Royal Baby's photograph.
For weeks, I have been engaged with the book "under the holy lake" by Canadian author, Ken Haigh, who has once worked as a high teacher around the late 1980's in the eastern region. He has described his 2 years stay in Bhutan and particularly of East so impeccably.
It was almost 10:47 PM, I was reading through the last chapter and the last lines of his book, "…and yet for me, there is only one place: a green narrow valley in the eastern Himalayas, resting under the influence of a holy lake and an ancient tree, a place that was once my home and is no longer."
I took the longest breath. Took a short nap. Lost in deep thinking, I thought of the past so much of what the author was trying to say and relate. Like him, I equally feel his heart through his beautifully woven travel journal of Bhutan. It is not easy after all; we all are perfectly the same human-being who do share the same feelings, and same-sized heart, although we come from different regions, have different color and belong to different races.
After a few moments of flashback and quick nap, I switched onto my FB to update some evening news feed. As I scrolled down my FB, I came across His Majesty's Official FB page with the beautiful Kupar of the Royal Baby nicely wrapped in a beautiful silk brocade (Goetsen) warmed in the arms of the Gyaltsuen, another frame where His Majesty smiling at Royal Baby and our Gyalsay in such a adoring smile and a cheerful face, which shows the unity of the Royal Family. I gazed over the graceful Kupar of His Royal Highness for quite long. It made me smile and happy for the night. Sometimes, you spend a lifetime looking for something and never find it. At other times, that something finds you. And then it is printed forever with you. Such cute is our Royal Baby's face. I am simply lucky a thousand times!!!
Within a few seconds, as far as Australia and the US and middle east, the photographs of our Second Royal Baby filled with joyous lines and comments and best wishes for Their Majesties long life. It was such a relieving moment for all of us to have such an opportunity to see the face of His Royal Highness. Despite such a huge crisis and fear, we were pulled one step closer to unity and happiness. It is yet another milestone in the history of Bhutan. There is no moment like this in the history of ours. Nevertheless, despite all the differences and pain there is a bond that always unites us is the humble and noble action of our Monarchs who always inspires us to live another beautiful moment of life.
The photographs of the Royal Baby have charmed many hearts and inspired thousands of others to live every moment of their family life with love, peace and happiness.
I join the nation in wishing Happy 30th Birth Anniversary to Her Majesty The Gyaltsuen on the 4th of June.
