It was bright sunny day, 23 July 2013, my lovely wife came to drop me
at Paro International Airport. It was unusual compared to my normal
departure from the Airport. Till now, I have been fortunate to travel on
regular basis to attend short term trainings, conferences, workshops,
seminars and so on which normally lasted for about one to two weeks. But
not this time.
This time, I am going to be away from my family and country for the next many months which really didn't appear to be a happy moment for me as I leave my dear and near ones behind.
The moment of sadness is also accompanied by happiness.I was finally going to pursue my ambition to become a lawyer. This is a dream come true. A dream I that I had from my primary school days even though I didn't know what is meant by a lawyer or who is a lawyer. I was also happy because, I have a decent and secured job and also a caring family.
Before, my final decision, some people also suggested that I should try to go to Australia so that I can study as well as make money. Their intentions were so good and I really appreciate those people who encouraged me. Contrary to their suggestion, when I really thought about my life, I was not really attracted to such endeavor not because I have enough money but I believe that having a decent qualification with a decent life will make me more happier than with lots of money as human mind can never be contented with what we have. Human life is full of greed and discontentment.
We reached Airport on time and I had a nice cup of Suja and Zow, a favorite drink for me at the Airport with my wife and her friend. I know she does not like suja nor departing away from me. We had a last hug and few words of love and care, I bid goodbye to her.
The journey was not too smooth as I had to wait over four hours at the Kolkotta Airport to catch the flight to Pune. Interestingly, I was also for the first time flown from Paro to Kolkoatta in a chatted flight making my ears quite numb by the time I reached my disembarkation. From Kolkotta it was another four and half hour journey with Indian flight where for the first time again, I had to buy everything to eat in the flight. I arrived in the Pune Airport at 11:00PM with a stopover in Chennai.
It was rainy yet my two friends, Jangchu and Lama took away all my gloomy weather as they came to receive me from Airport with a smile and words of homeliness. They were kind enough that I didn't even have to carry my baggage.
The next day, early in the morning, I joined college. The college look better than I have anticipated which further boost my impression of the college. It has all modern facilities a law college should have and I was also happy to learn that this college is among the top law colleges in whole of India.
Since then, we Bhutanese students have been one of the most sincere students in attending classes as we rarely miss even a single period which was noticed by the college too. I learnt so many useful information on law and justice. I liked everything from environment to faculty to contents of the course. The only problem I had and still continues is my inability to remember the case laws.But today, with the end of September, our professors has more smiles than ever as they have completed our semester syllabus. And the responsibility of that course has fallen on us, the students as the exams are near and we have so many things to study.
I like one aspect of this college, the Principal always reminded us to learn the law not for exam but for life. He tells us that passing in law is not so difficult but being a good lawyer with adequate knowledge on law is important.
Whatever, the reasons may be, with the exams knocking at my door, I hereby finally suspend all other works for the time being for me to prepare for my exams. After all, in this modern world, certificates and marks also matter as it serve the key to many things in life.
Hope when I come back on this forum again, I hope to write down the best and good about my exams.
