Exam Time

Wishing banner

Darla school exam starts today. Students are cracking their brains inside the rooms. It is their outcome for a year’s learning in the school. I wish them a bit of good luck. And it is good for students as students will be getting a long winter vacation. And this will be the busiest time for teachers as we have to do lots of correction….alas!

Our School Caretaker

There are people who work and never complain and there are people who have nothing and still work. Such is a man in my school who works and never grumbles of anything. He is our school caretaker, Mr. Tsagay.

We know in every school, the caretaker is a very important person. Mr. Tsagay is the caretaker of our Darla Middle Secondary school. He is a very good man. He not only helps students but also shares the responsibility of running the school. There are three caretakers in the school. Mr. Tsagay is the oldest in the school. He has been in the service of this school for the last fifteen or more years.

Mr. Tsagay is popularly called ‘Aue Tsagay’ which means brother Tsagay. He is a real brother to the school, without him the school will become handicapped. He wears a clean blue sleeve and pants when he is on duty.

He is a very hard-working and punctual. He is always the first to arrive at the school and he is the last to go. He opens rooms of the school principal, staff, and there, and dusts them clean. He is sincere and regular in his work. He is a willing worker. He is a slave to duty. If anyone calls him for any kind of work, he would be willing to come and help.

He takes various notices, letters, and other circulars from the Principal to teachers. He keeps the school Notice Board up-to-date.

He is a well-rounded person. He knows many things. Not only he takes care of the school but he also works as a gardener, electrician, carpenter, etc. He is a jack of all trades. Because of all these he deserves a huge salary.

He works very hard but his pay is less. By looking at his so many works, he must be paid more than any other high-ranking government worker. He does not expect any personal reward from the teachers. Because the teacher themselves are poor too.

The last time he worked with some electric wires outside the school compound and he got an electric shock. He was immediately taken to Gedu hospital. And these days he is complaining about abdominal pain and weakness. Everyone feels sorry for him.

All teachers and students like him. He always presents a smiling face. By his loyalty and honest work, he has made himself an indispensable to the school.

Go Wherever You Like

Assorted pieces of poems from my past notebooks.

Go Wherever you Like

Go wherever you like

But you must come back here

Our way is one

Do whatever you please

Take whatever you desire

But you must keep away those

Our way is one

Act like a mountain

Say what you want to all

But you must know at last

Our way is one

And all of these are useless.

Life Taught Me

Love taught me to fly

And to live

Life taught me to cry

And to die

There is nowhere I can hide.

Dream

The poem talks about a dream, the dreams were useless to him when he came to know. Only near his deathbed, he prays that if he has done something good to be born as a good person or not.

As a child I had a dream

To fly in the sky and to travel by train,

Eat in the palatial and

Live like a royal king.

After

I have been in airs

I have been in trains

I have eaten a palace food

And I have lived a king’s life

Now, what I dream is;

And this is not a dream

It’s a reality

Very important.

I pray:

Never to die,

Or good rebirth after the death.

Did you Fall and break your Heart?

Did you fall and break your heart?

Did you cry and hate your life?

Did you live a painful life and get hurt?

Did you think of taking revenge?

Did you have a memory sickness?

But never forget there is love,

And you must prove it through your tears.

Always remember there is hope,

And always remember it is good in love.

Love where you Live

Love where you live.

Have compassion for everything…

Love the wall, in front of you

Love the stones, trees, dust, rivers, etc

Then you will love yourself.
