No Reason


His eyes are on fire
What is this nonsense desire?
Near her, a man stands
Jealousies, pains, itches are creeping
What is he whispering?
So near, he stands.
Wish he was dead
He has no reason to say this
Simply, because he loves her.

She talks softly
She laughs
Why aren’t you the same with him?
He has nothing to say
But simply,
Because he loves her.

Some people don’t know what love is;
Love is nothing.
You love someone without reason.
 You simply love.
 Some people don’t know what jealousy is.
 Jealousy is nothing,
 but love for someone.
You simply resent with no reason.
 Some people can talk so much better,
 but have no basic understanding of what love is.
  They simply ditch away with so many thoughtless thoughts.
And with a small thing, you get hurt in love.
 Some people have no good heart to know about love hurts.
They simply cry without understanding much of what hurt is.
They simply put full stop in love
And suffer from the lack of love.

Harsh Cheers


Destiny is a man meant to be.
The mercy of little aberrant and abuse
A life of worries and no care
where will it go in the end!
Only in your dreams, you’ll see.

So self-centered is humankind, full of hunger
Considering only of his own control
The rich have fun and poor beg
It’s too disreputable, why categories?

You’re as astray as this eerie denizen is
You don’t know why you’re  send here;
It’s under lock and key
True to be fated?
This life at times must rework.

Some religiously deluded
And provoke others
Messing up sans benevolence
The faction in the name of god
Horrible way; everywhere is treacherous.

The war and bloodshed, destroying life
Starving beggars and homeless people
The white is white
And black’s meaning is lost
The sound of horrifying news persists
And anytime it will be at your door

We are fenced in with aggression
When our lives itself is bloated with endurance
Should we visualize humility?
Well, it is a thriller; the world and life!

Courage kill



He is a man I like
But people look at him in dislike;
For his domineering behavior
When trying to be a savior.

He saved our village from the Kyeshe contest
As his hostilities were unwontedly the greatest
The relation of two villages was made into the toughest
Bringing his personal image to the highest.

He was called by many names;
Teingyen Wugpa and Tiger were usually carried like flames,
Wugpa dropped school after some brawls
In which he made teachers crawl.

I can say he is the courageous man
Because of his courage, the family name now demeans;
When the police caught him in the jungle
For the theft, his life now bungles.

Going inside the Lhakhang one night
And the live-size Ku’s blinded the sight
To raid he wasn’t afraid
The old precious Kus for his life’s aid.

The police whipped him to death
The blood rolled on the earth
The effect he had none
As he only said, I was only the one.

Was the policeman lazy?
Or the policeman crazy?
For he was tied his both hands
And not allowed to have even the slightest bands.

The captain of the war, a bold man
Done the boldest, never before had a man,
Did, what ought not to do
A good man attempts to do.




Glossary
Kyeshe: fight catching waist. Like wrestling.
Lhakhang: Buddhist temple.
Teingyen Wugpa: deadly owl.
Ku: statue.


The poem is a true story of my man. Nobody dares to do bad things in a bold way like him. Inspired by his boldness…

Names’ Matter


Why is Barack Obama called Obama?

Name is not merely a name. It’s not only used for identification and identity. Name, however, truly shows the personalities and attributes of a person. The name means a lot. I would like to recall those typical names.

There was Nagchung (Sharchop: black), whom I met in class seven, who had a black face and black heart.
There is Zangmo(good), who does all good things for her own benefits… eh…to others.
And there is Gunda Raj(goonda king) from India, who does all goonda things
And Elizabeth (Queen Elizabeth), who always talk all ills about good Queen Elizabeth
There is Phenchung (helper), who speaks about others and fills his own pocket.
And Dangpo and Mottay(fat) are really fatty dangpos.
And you know Towpai (cow’s name) face looks like the shape of a cow’s face.
Samzang is the person of good heart and full of religious conduct. One of my characters in the book is also Samzang who is beguiled by Ratu, the Tatu(naughty) in the book.

All these bad –sounding names are not named now. Many people like to have westernized names, for Bhutanese, there is Sonam David Backhang or popestar Jackson Dorji or Sara Chokiss. Nowadays, many Bhutanese names are a combination of rich celebrities around the world… for example, Jigdrel Uwang Cheks (JUC), a bit difficult to pronounce to a typical Bhutanese people. One name or three names, a person still remains as who she/he is, OR does it have some force in these powerful sounding names. Well…It has for those modern-likable people.
