Its already winter in Pemagatshel. Many fields are free of cultivation. Having witnessed the abundance in spring and summer, this beloved earth deserves a break after serving the generations.
Today as I trode in the season of falling leaves, a freezy wind is bone touching and freeing legs finds difficult to make a step.
Many faces are in smiles and having asked how are you in Restnang, a quick response was happy till the dates.
The life is different in many ways. Having walked and seen the ground reality of life in villages, I realised how blessed we are having born in this country. We have kings and their kindness are equal for all the citizens. I would sense how they are lucky to recieve the kiduu fund for daily livings.
In a Zobel gewog itself there were 8 kidu recipients. They need our love and care too. As severe as half paralyzed (Meymey Driba)to the blind, (Norbu Thinley) they are living in extreme poverty but they are paid for their own lives by kidu office. I could see only my kings sees such sufferings and give money who are need of it.
My wife is serving as Gewog Adm in Zobel, I had a honour of reaching her to those villages.(Restnang, Tshelinggor, Chungkhar, Bangtsho and shomar Jug)
It was a touching moment in my life to see the face of Meymey Driba. He doesn't own land and family, he is half paralyzed and he is suffering in the extreme poverty.
But his blessing kidu was seen by our kings. He gets a kidu money after three months as a montly stipends.
Similarly, Abi Tawmo and Kabchi from Chungkhar residing in Kherigonpa Bangtso to chant Mani, they are completely doing great in this age.
It was sad to learn that Maymey Norbu Thinley was visually impaired and looked after by relatives. He only owns a hut and sees the stars from roof and leaks during moonsons.
Another handsome meymey(Dorji) who resides at heart of Tshelingor village is sleeping near his owned ManiDungkhor but what excites me was his happy face. He was chanting Mani whole day and nights. He was looked after by his relatives and doesn't own any things in life.
Finally We met Meymey Angur from Nangmalam and he was active and earning for his living but free of Marriage,land and property.
I may not have the understanding of suffering like Buddhas or kings but I have learnt little ways to exercise my flash of Lightning like kindness.
It has been a great days travelling with my wife.
Finally we had a wonderful days in a villages photographing for learning and meeting the smiling faces.
