What life means to My Uncle !!

What life means to My Uncle !!

I am still disturbed by the sight of my sick uncle at the hospital. He knows it all. He has a tumour in his brain!  He has given up almost all his hopes. His 3 yrs old son (back in the village)doesn't know that his brave father is sick. He thinks that his father has gone out for sometimes. The father has in store, the  music videos in which his prince has sung for him.

I am broken into thousand pieces by the sight of all these happenings in my uncle's life. I feel for him SO MUCH. I feel for his wife who cries day and night. I am just so scared to think of anything . Will he die? What might happen to his wife? What might happen to his son? Who will he look upon in the form of his father? So many questions in my mind and I dont seem to find any answers. 

 The hospital beds are no empty. Like my uncle, there are hundreds of ppl who are counting their days. Its just a matter of time. Some ppl on their wheel chairs wanting to go out for a quick grasp of fresh air and some, on their beds which stinks of medicine, waiting for a right time to go home (some wishes are never fulfilled!). 

My uncle was kept isolated in an isolation room. The nature of his illness demanded a separate, quiet room. The very fact of him in this so called "isolation room" freaks us out. We are almost giving up on him. He loves eating fruits, goes on and off with his memories and falls down when taken to the toilet. He shivers and vomits but still he manages to stand up despite everything. He is such a strong person. Loved by all and in good books with everyone. 

I wrote this blog not because I wanted to talk about him but I thought some prayers could help. I believe in MIRACLES and I want it to happen to my uncle. I want him to live for some more time ...till the time his son grows up, till the time his wife gets fed up with him...till the time he realizes life isnt for him....I want him to JUST LIVE ! 

Pls pray for my uncle ! We need it the most now !! 

Tae Bo time----- A fun time (YDF Thimphu)

An aerobic exercise which is making a difference in my life!!

 I had nearly touched 86 kg and nothing can be more alarming for me than this very fact. I had given up almost all  forms of exercise because I had lost faith in myself. This very idea of joining Tae Bo class was a boon to me ..Today, after exactly two weeks, I am feeling a "different me". Its feels so good especially after the dance, the movement of the hands, the legs and everything.

You get so motivated seeing the trainers who, even in their 40's look like they are now running in 20's. It is one class I wont mind going to even during one of my most tiring days. You go in with a fatigue mind and body but come out just the opposite. It rejuvenates you so much that you feel so younger yourself.

The shouts in the class, the motivating songs and the sing-along moments make me ooohhhh...The one-hour fitness finishes within no time... It really makes a difference. Being fit and having a perfect body has always been my wish. Every time I wanted to wear my favorite dress, I always landed up changing too many times because I looked so awww....in it. And ultimately I had to wear my favorite track pants.  But now, with this feeling and the shaping up program, I ve started wearing my old good clothes and it looks just fine on me. I had never felt so contended in life lol.

This fitness program really works and I am so glad I decided to join. The sooner...the better ! It sure is getting me back my curves and no feeling could be better than this. All thanks to my trainers Mr. Karma Lam and Ms. Ugyen Tshomo.
Cheerio !

Is it really happening in Thimphu??

Recently I was in a salon doing the usual thing a girl does and I came across somebody very interesting. A lady in her early 30's came rushing in to do her usual stuffs in the salon . We were not comfortable for a conversation at first but she broke the ice ( Me not good with starting a conversation ).
I do not know how far it could be true but her words shocked me. I ve heard of young girls becoming prey to the rich and the hot and happening men due to their financial obligations but never knew it was this serious.

Can this be really true? How many of us have found some helpless school girls with a man in the hotel rooms? I did see some but not exactly those types who would do anything for money. I can understand its difficult to survive in this developing yet, challenging world but who can go to this extent??

The way she described those young helpless girls tore me apart.. These days, those helpless creatures can be easily lured by the car's key and a cell phone on a man's hand. They are usually found drinking in their school dress with a man by her side. A simple offer of a mobile voucher can also make her agree...I was told that, its not a man these days but the woman giving herself away.

I was astonished beyond words but there was more to come. Keeping a wife home and driving away with another woman? When Karma (name changed...the lady i had a nice conversation with), told me that she does not even trust her husband, I suddenly felt a pang in my heart...should I be doing the same thing? Is it really important not to have faith in your relationship anymore? Does this keep us from getting less hurt?
