As I observed these young intellectuals or the future leaders, I was reminded of many things of the past as well as I could observe a lot of things associated with this grand event in the kingdom. I know that there are students coming as far as the far east of the country, the south, the north and the west. They all came all the way to attend the programme.
Majority of them coming outside Thimphu, some reside with their so called Aunties or Uncles, some put up with their cousins, some with friends and some in groups renting rooms in the hotels. As I looked at some of them, they are dressed in their best attire, fashioned in the most latest style from toe to head during the day in National Dress and rest of the time in western clothes.
No doubt, everyone of them are proud for being able to finally attend this event, after so many years of studying and putting hard work. Each of their parents and teachers are also pleased to see their students, sons and daughters, nephews and nieces attending the grand function. Despite of all the problems at home, each parent tried their best to provide them with the best they have at home, some even to the extent of borrowing from their neighbours. For some. though their parents are not in position to give them best, they workhard, burnt midnight oil and rewarded with the government scholarship abroad and earned enough to meet their expenses without the parents's help. For some, being blessed to have born to a rich and wealthy family, need not worry as their parents are there to provide them the best clothes, best shoes, best cello phones and purse fully packed from the day one till the programme ends.
It is the moment for these youth to feel proud of their achievements, celebrate for their ability to overcome all kinds of obstacles such as academic challenges, financial burden on their parents, expenses from the government for their education. Thus, these people seem to have the moment of pleasure.
To many, it is pleasure for them to be show fashion in one or the other way. Some born with sliver spoon have the luxury of driving their parents cars including prados and land cruisers. Some their parents or guardians dropping them int he morning and picking up in the evening. Most of these youth so called "the rich" are also at the advantage of wearing the most expensive Ghos scented with most expensive perfumes and further enriched by expensive foot wears for gents and ear rings and necklaces for ladies. In the mid of that some are forced to pressurize their parents to make them feel decent among these rich sons and daughters.
It is also the moment of romanticism. Some born beautiful or smart and some painted with modern cosmetics, does give each sex an attraction to their opposite sex. As a result, some fell in the love, some succeed, some get rejected and some just friends to become on in future. For these group of people, they always wish to have a longer days to spend together. These people bring mood of romance.
