Leisure in the town

Many apologies for not being able to keep this blog alive! Neither I nor my friends could come up with new posts. We either couldn't go through other's blog. We have been quite busy with office schedules..so we could not render justice to readers and this blog in particular.

For the sake of updating...um..sounds pretty ugly though, I will narrate what we have been doing this morning. Ok, let me begin. I received a call from Tashi saying we would go together to the office by city bus. He said that he could not wake up early and asked my companionship of going by bus at 9:15am. We reached Fly over bridge (city bus stop) at 9:12 am and waited patiently for about 5 minutes. The bus was little late today and thus we expected it to be little less packed than usual. At 9:20 am we got into the bus but only to be found ourselves standing in despair. The bus was more packed than usual: seemed everybody could not wake up early...lol.

Bus took its pace with glamorous roaring sound. Tashi with much complacent in his face remained firmly stood holding the hanger that swings along the reckless movement of bus. The bus encroached near the Hospital while people stopped it to get them out of it.

I smiled at him and said, "Tashi, could we loiter around the town and go to office lately?"

"Are u sure?"

"Yes, Tashi. Lets take some leisure around the town", I replied.   

"Ok, lets get off from swimming pool and head towards town", Tashi said promisingly.

We left bus near the Swimming pool and talked if Karma could also join us. While reaching near Hotel Taktsang Tashi called Karma. As expected, Karma showed up when we were waiting for him near main traffic.

Without wasting much time we immediately went to sneak cafe where we had sipped enough lassi and tea. It was really good in such time when we had no breakfast. They know my financial conditions... they didn't ask me to pay. Done with tea and Lassi we loitered around the town. Next, both of them got into barber and got their hair cut. I waited patiently, of course, expecting some more sponsorship from them. This time was lunch...lol.

I indirectly took them to Zangdo Pelri Complex saying goodness of Dorji Trozey: its way of serving customers. But in reality, I was expecting lunch to be sponsored by them in Dorji Trozey. Accordingly, it was good luck for me since Tashi has never been to there.

Upon my advertisement of Dorji Trozey, Tashi said, "lets see how true is Lhaksam. Lets go and visit it"

Wow, wow! I was really happy with Tashi's decision. Since we were little ahead of noon, the Trozey had a few customers. It was indeed empty. Normally, this hotel used to be packed with some customers waiting in line until some get done with their meal.

We were given small sheet to be written our orders. Karma and I ordered Shakam Paa while Tashi did Sikkam Paa. The lunch was really amazing one. More than this, way of serving by waitress and welcoming gesture of the owner were really marvelous.

After having heavy lunch, I silently withdraw outside while Karma and Tashi went to clear the bill. It amounted to around Nu 400 which is not much to them this time. However, the lunch was surely a pleasing one.

I thanked them and asked where to go then. The time exactly ticked 12.00 noon. Karma diverted from us and went to his office. I was bit not sure if I would go to Tashi's office and past rest of the time with him. However, while reaching to Chubachu I decided to go to my office rather. And Tashi has also decided to go to his office.

This is how I spent my half day having gone off from office for the first time.
