Memory of collecting Walnut, "story from my mother"

Right after the breakfast, I and my mother took a time to crash the hard cover of walnut. I think no one will disagree the good taste of walnut. As and when we were enjoying the yummy taste of walnut, she started sharing her memory of long time ago where collecting of walnut was fashion.

" we won't sleep whole night when there is some kind of gusty wind and it used to be our favorite weather during walnut season. unlike today we used to have lot of walnut tree around our village. Gonpa, Luechen, Ruzhingpokpa and Bratho near to Rabokmay used to be our favorite place. But today, we hardly find the tree and people who is interested in collecting nut. It is time to reflect ourselves toady that, we lost both tree and the culture", mother shared me.

As far as I remember, i have seen mother and youngest Azha leaving home as early as 3am towards the walnut tree. I still remember them taking pine for lighting. They won't light the pine as soon as they leave in the fear of waking other neighbors instead they will walk in dark and they would enjoy peace collection without having compete among other collectors. I heard them being late at collection and would return home empty hand several times.

Thinking about those old time makes me smile and i think it is everyone of us who should be responsible for losing walnut tree and the fun.

Thank you

Blogging and its opportunity to make money. Story of my Adsense partnership approval success.

A Year ago, I started blogging without having much idea about it. I was introduced to blogging by Mr. Nidup Jamtsho, a very good friend of mine and also an enthusiastic blogger (nidupjamtsho.com) and YouTuber ( Mr. Nidup). We talked about lot of opportunities, an opportunity to earn. Our major conversation used to be about online earning. Bitcoin mining, SFI, Pi mining, YouTubing, and blogging used to be our hot conversation. I would like to confess that I have tried all of them. However, none was successful as I wish but I was never tired of doing it. Frankly, it was difficult for me to hide the feeling of quitting from myself. I used to hide the feeling of quitting and used to involve in money talk with friends to inspire myself. I used to tell my friends, classmate, and family about blogging and the opportunity. I tried blogging from last year and applied three times for AdSense partnership approval. I have to wait for two weeks to get a reply mail from AdSense Company and gett

This is non fiction story about a girl who lost her beloved father in the middle of the class 12 board examination. I was honored to be her audience in the class. Her name is Kinga lhazom, currently doing bachelors in Social Work at samtse college of education. I am hopeful that this story will inspire many others like me and therefore I am honoured to share you this inspiring speech. "The major notions that I ponder about life is “changes” , during the session between life and death , we go through lots of hurdles and sunshine , that we either live in or push it a far . Life is not always as swift as it seems, it will always have uncountable loopholes and only one with determination to success, possess strength to stand against it. I wonder how many people must have gave up on dreaming about living in bliss ,just because your first step brought you down on your knees , and I personally feel that I lost abundance of opportunity just because I couldn’t stand a chance.
