In the lives of---


Towards the end of withering autumn and beginning of shriveling winter, I came to exist as human being from the inner world of mother’s womb to the outer world of realities on 6th day of eleventh month 1984. I hail from a very deprived family background and never received what others receives even after twenty-six years of rigorous ride for endurance on this planet. At the age of twenty, my mother was expired and my life became more miserable, challenging and quite complicated. My life was perhaps blissful in the early hours of childhood days, as an innocent child. When the kids of same age were in the school studying in class III, I was still struggling as a cowboy with my grandfather in the village.
However, with hard and pessimistic decision, fortune seems in favor of me. I was the first child to receive education among three elder and three younger siblings. In 1993, I was admitted to school in Mongar Primary School and completed class XII from Mongar Higher Secondary School in 2005, with Arts background. I was never an elegant student in the class, yet, never failed despite of various factors affecting my learning.
My area of interest and hobbies surrounds around reading philosophical books, watch educational movies, listening to emotional songs and music, visiting pilgrims, playing traditional games, travelling and adventuring.
As a student, I constantly dreamed to become a teacher one day and serve my parents, government and country in my own way. I am very emotional and possess a tender heart. I never fear to face any aspects of bitter consequences. I describe myself as hardworking and committed in my work, time conscious, compassionate, tolerant, and approachable but introvert and quite timid. I believe in fate and in god and lead a simple way of life style.
My life scarcely swings up the hills of thrills and glory, but frequently plunges down the dizzying twist and turns of thorny valleys over perilous cliff. I have volumes to speak and share, but situation and circumstances never persuade me to open up. Most of the time, I am left without a word to express my true essence of life. Owing to destitute family and broken family relationship, I  encountered numerous obstacles and a wall of distraction that cause me to suffer from severe emotional depression and mental trauma. One of the indelible and unanticipated incidents in 2005, even compelled me to suicide out of desperation. The more I long for the best, the trouble prolongs. However, I knew that is an immoral perception of abandoning or liberating from mysteriously miserable part of life.
The more I come across the pang of disgusting experiences, better I discover all aspects of life and grows cognitively, intellectually, emotionally, affectively, and socially to deal with every uncertain facet of life. Thus, I wear two faces to remain alive among others. Nobody knows my existence in actuality.   
Nevertheless, as my dream was to become a teacher, I am presently undergoing a Bachelor of Education programme at Paro College of Education. Despite of so many commotions, eventually, I am optimistically awaiting for the day to celebrate my success and tranquil. I have a need, a dream and profound prayers for everyone as others. I aspire to become a model and light in the darkness to somebody’s entire life. May my dreams be accomplished to render my service and earn living. As I live each day, may I do my part to make difference and bring smiles into everybody’s soul. I am known as Karma Phuntsho, a man of auspicious fate.
