Happy Women's Day :)


A woman is a symbol of beauty and grace; she is an essence of tenderness, love and compassion. Every family, every home, every heart, every love, every moment is incomplete without a woman, because women have the ability to make every little thing special.

The International Women’s Day which is marked on the 8th of March every year is instituted by the United Nations to commemorate the contribution of women. There are many influential women who have made substantial contribution to the welfare and wellbeing of our universe apart from their selfless contribution to their family, economy and the society.


My favourite, a woman who has always inspired me is Mother Teresa. Her charitable works, her thoughts, her initiatives, her speeches, her inspirational quotes simply motivates me to be a better woman.

Like every other women, I am proud to have been born as a woman too. Being born in a country like Bhutan, I have been lucky; I never experienced the torments of gender discrimination. However, I am aware that some women face severe hardship due to gender discrimination in many parts of the world. It gives me immense pain to hear, watch and read about them. We, together should stop this discrimination and all the nuisances a woman has to bear. Together, we should make a difference. 

For all you wonderful women, some special message I have for you here:

Always keep your head high, always love yourself because you are awesome, keep providing your unconditional love and care - the world requires more of it, keep supporting the needy ones, keep spreading kindness and happiness, never stop looking beautiful, don’t stop smelling pleasant, don’t stop shopping, always decide for yourself, don’t tolerate excessive criticism and torture of any kind, don’t remain a victim of domestic violence or any other cruelty, be strong and always move forward and most importantly believe that you are beautiful, you are special and you can make a difference.

As a woman, let us refrain from talking lowly about the other women, let’s take care of each other as sisters, let’s have more love between ourselves, let us refrain ourselves from gossiping about each other, understand each other because men or any other beings will never understand us more than a woman can, let’s be kind to each other and stay supportive to all who needs help and support. No comparison and competition because everyone is different, special and unique in our own way.

Happy Women’s Day to all the wonderful women - Live Special.

108-Kora (circumambulation) of Dra Karpo Lhakhang in Paro, Bhutan

Image
In Buddhism, kora (which means circumambulation) is the act of walking around the sacred site in a clockwise direction. Buddhist pilgrims do kora of the religious temples, sites, objects, etc to gain spiritual merits; cleanse sins of past and present lives and purify negative karma; and to attain spiritual and mental enlightenment. Pilgrims usually recite mantras and say prayers as they do the rounds. Bhutan being a Buddhist country, Kora is very prevalent and no temples are usually seen without pilgrims doing koras. However, the trend of 108-kora is quite a new thing in Bhutan, started or at least grew its popularity only a few years ago. It may have existed earlier amongst the elders but it became a good new thing to talk about and show off on social media handles recently, me being one of them :D. Honestly, apart from gaining spiritual merits and   cleansing  off sins, I don’t know the specific reason behind circumambulating the temples 108 times. Of course, the fact that t

Trip to Iseltwald, Lake Brienz & Lake Thun, Interlaken and Sigriswil 🇨🇭

Image
Let me start by stating, Switzerland in Autumn/Fall is a Paradise, perfect weather, colorful leaves/forest, a touch of snow on the mountains, autumn flowers (especially the wild ones), blue sky turning into pink after sun set – truly truly a Nature Heaven. Fall, especially the second half of September till the first half of November is the best time to visit Switzerland, I strongly recommend. We started our journey early in the morning from Geneva in a car, so that we have enough time for sightseeing, we planned to visit many places. Our host was a lovely Bhutanese family in Bern, where we stopped for a cup of tea on the way and unloaded our stuffs. From Bern, we were joined by the host family. We drove to Iseltwald first, a beautiful, serene and a colorful village  on the south shore of Lake Brienz,  well known for the filming of popular K-drama, Crash landing on you. It looked more beautiful in real, deep blue lake, snow capped mountains, stunning landscape and colorful forest th

Visit to Five Tsheringma Lhakhangs in Paro, Bhutan

Note :  Had completed the draft of this article in 2018, right after the visit but thanks to my laziness and mild A lzheimer (created my own disease) it was left incomplete. Did a bit of revisit to my incomplete work today and here it is for your reading pleasure and reference for the visit, in a layman’s way of expression.  In Buddhism, the five Tsheringma sisters as the name suggests are the Goddesses of longevity or long life. It is believed that if one worships the Goddess, he/she will be blessed with long life and good fortune. We visited the five temples in December 2018, believed to be the abode of the five Tsheringma sisters, all located in Paro in the four different directions. Legend has it that, if one visits all the five temples in a day, the Tsheringma sisters would grant you with all your wishes and bless you with good fortune. There is supposed to be an order of visit to the five temples, some believe the visit should start from the eldest sister's templ
