Way forward to the fatherhood

My mobile phone beeps its alarm in the silent lighted room while the darkness still looms outside. I rummage under the pillow to reach mobile phone while my eyes are still blurred due to brief sleep last night. I can hardly open my eyes in the light that is kept lighted to ensure watchfulness on my baby for his safety while sleeping aside. I put off the alarm and look outside the window.  Below my home is the highway. There, I see dazzling lights from a  few plying vehicles but I see not even a single jogger running, it is too early for them, of course. 

It is not easy to wake up this early. I usually wake up only at 7:30 am, at which, when I look out of the window, I use to see some of the joggers returning to their homes after running. But of late, I have got to shoulder extra responsibility having become a father of a child. My wife gave birth to a son on the 1^st September, 2014. Since then, I have been spending sleepless nights, and, at the most, I get 4 hours to sleep. Worries intensify when the child cries at night which eventually deprives my sleep. This is how I spend my night. 

Besides sleepless night, my wife is still not recovered from the post-delivery sickness. Her duty of house chore is handed over to me. So, I wake up early in the morning to get these things done.

It’s only 4: 30 am when my mobile phone beeps its alarm. In this wee hour of the morning, I wash my face and tidy the rooms. Then, I prepare breakfast to be fed myself and wife. By that time, day light is already broken. I have to get ready to go to office. Before that, I wash all nappies of the child that have been piled up after its usage in the previous night. And I prepare lunch for my wife to readily feed herself in my absence. Getting these things done, I go to office.  

    

In the office, I don’t have peace. My mind keeps worrying. Will not my child fall sick when I m in office? How they would have eaten lunch? If my child is crying….that sort of bullshits… 

Back from the office, I again have to wash nappies that are used in the day. Then, I have to prepare dinner besides pampering my child when he cries. It’s very tiresome. And of course, at such time, a bottle of beer makes me feel better. 

The most awkward thing is, having to spend sleepless night when I am suffering from cough and cold. I really hate coughing incessantly at night which makes my neighbors awake like me.  

LIFE Teach us Many Things

It has been almost a month without even visiting our blog. The schedule has been tight but now when I look back, nothing productive have I done. This is how our life goes. We think we are busy all day but at the end of the day, nothing credible would have been achieved. 

We are growing old every second and we waste every second without doing anything good for self or for others. Many such seconds in a day will sum up to minutes, hours, days and by the time we realize, so many years would have been already wasted. Sometimes I feel I have wasted all those 16 years of education, learning something and now land up doing entirely a different thing. By saying this I don't mean to be disloyal. But when I look at it from a different angle, education is not only about the subject knowledge, I have learnt a lot more than that, so its in fact not a waste. 

I don't know what is wrong with me. I wanted to do something but the moment the time comes for me to go about it, I am not able to do it. I think of many things in life, many dreams and aspirations, but all these remain as a dream. I have been dreaming so high in life but always land up in the middle, the best part of it is, never let me down to the bottom. So I have learnt that, to hit the bulls-eye from a distant, we can’t hit it if we aim for it but we can if we aim little above the bulls-eye.  

We people have been pampered so much by spoon feeding. If we are left alone, we are lost. From kindergarten till the degree level, we are being fed with spoon. So later once we are in job, lucky for those who have seniors and bosses who guide them well, others have to suffer on their own. They have to learn by doing on trial and error basis. And that is what I have been doing. Learn by doing and that in fact is a good thing I observed in those people because they earn the wisdom themselves and such skills will never be gone from them. 

In life we encounter many things. Thinking positive and being positive always get rewarded at the end. No possessiveness, of course in love we tend to become more possessive, that shows your true love but if people don't understand your possessiveness, it turns bad. No egoism, we can have peace life, by being small, we will never become small. There is no problem for pretending not to know when you know but many problems arises if you pretend to know everything when you know nothing. Be who you are and never try to show who you are not. There will be peace in your mind. What hurts you will hurt others too. What you love will be loved by others. Therefore we have to understand each other. If you don't like being hated, never hate others. This is a simple Buddha teaching, help others to help yourself. Pray for other's well-being and you will live well. These are what I have learnt in life.  

Have a happy life ahead.  

Royal Bhutan Police Day

The Royal Bhutan Police was established with personnel reassigned from the army on September 1, 1965, a day thereafter marked as Police Day throughout Bhutan. Starting with only a few hundred personnel in 1965, by the late 1970s the force had more than 1,000 constables and officers.

Royal Bhutan Police have been very helpful in the society in maintaining peace and order. They have been working day and night for the benefit of country. Both man and woman join police force in order to serve Tsa Wa Sum with full dedication and loyalty. 

1st September every year is celebrated as Police Day in Bhutan in order to look back and appreciate the police jobs in Bhutan and also to re-dedicate themselves to serve the nation. We all know how important is the job of police in maintaining the law and order in the country. When many others are in a peaceful sleep, they take their turns to patrol in and around city and community to make sure that people are safe. 

Therefore on this day, we all would like to join our hands and cooperate with Royal Bhutan Police and make sure that their goal and objective of making a peace society to come true. It is one of the keys to achieve GNH.
