What strikes your mind when you think of a life where no one knows you at all? Well, this is one thing that I experience,when I live in a rural village of Zhemgang. I call it a village despite it being near the district administration because the district itself is too remote to call as town. The same thing might have occurred to you as well. You are not always accompanied, right? You have your heart and brain with you but you are alone. It’s not that the place is too remote to enjoy but there is no one you know in that place. Isn’t it a great opportunity to approach and make new friends? Obviously, yes! And you might have definitely done something to make new friends.
Walking alone and enjoying the unknown places and it’s beauty until you encounter someone would be one of the best options. It’s too bad to stay locked inside the room. You must grow in every new chance you have. You must keep you impressions everywhere. Your days must be worth recalling and telling to someone while you eat or date. Meeting and knowing can give you nothing but the great happiness and satisfaction. Your mundane and loneliness will run away; they would run away in a way that you cannot capture it back. Indeed you won’t capture it back. My friends! Yes, I call you my friends. It’s your turn to walk away unlocking your door and meet someone and experience the feeling in a place where nobody knows you.
Oh! My God, I fail in this situation. For me loneliness is always loneliness. No new experience, no new encounter, no new friends. How dare I stay like this? And how long? It’s really bad. You know. Did you get my point? I mean my life in a place where no one knows me is fantastically lonely. Doesn’t mean that I don’t walk around and see the places. I do, that’s what I am capable of as a strong man. Let me tell you I am lonely. I told you I am in Zhemgang; one of the remote district in Bhutan I have come across. Indeed I am also from remote Eastern District; I think it’s no more a remote place now. It’s adorned my the modern influence.
Zhemgang can be a place where you can attain enlightenment. I mean it’s really on a hilltop where you can experience no noise. It’s a serene place with azure sky. Sometimes, beautiful rainfall that makes you to lock yourself inside. I love being in Zhemgang.
So tell me how you have experienced when you are in a place totally strange! Is it interesting! Worth sharing here to me?
