Someone
said “Do what I say but don’t do what I do” and it is one of the most popular
dialogues that we use it, while uttering advices to our children, students and
anyone whom we feel to advice. And among many, I am the one to use this dialogue
very frequently with my students and my own children.
Many
of us feel insecure to explore oneself in the public domain and we do it under
secrecy. But never the less we do share our habits and secret business with our
loved ones, trusted ones and whom we feel comfortable to share with.
But
I have chosen to reveal my secrecy to all my blog readers although many may
refuse to share in such public forum. We simply choose not to share because
what is normal in one society is an abnormal in another society.
Waite
a minute, don’t get too curious to know my secrecy. It is just a matter of
a second. Alas, I used to imbibe occasionally, yet I have never been in an
inebriated state even for once. Believe me I was being fed with local brew
Banchang( meaning alcohol prepared at home) by my parents as a food surplus
right after my birth, I am sure.
My
parents being an illiterate person, they lived in the world of orthodoxy and
with their abundant orthodox beliefs, they did fed me with intoxicant as means
of sharing their love, concern, comfort etc. There is nothing wrong with my
parent’s decision I must admit. However I never nibbled a single mouthful of doma(
betel nut wrap by betel leaves with little lime) that many Bhutanese used to chew.
Having
physically, psychologically and socially matured with my little education
bestowed by royal government of Bhutan, I feel I am bit wiser than my parents.
It may be too early for me talk about my New Year resolution for the year 2015,
yet I will take this chance to pre- share my new resolution to you, that is to
completely stop imbibing with effect from HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015.

ReplyDeleteBoss, I too have had it and still the same habit is continued occasionally now a days. Excellent decision.
Deleteugyen your occasion will become like K.D Yeshi sir's three occasion. Our sir K.D Yeshi used to tell I used to drink in three occasions and on being as asked about his three occasion, he is used to tell us 1. When he in happy mood, 2. When he is in sad mood. 3. When is in normal state. That means he drinks every time. ha ha Just kidding man .
