THE IMPONDERABILIA OF EVERYDAY EXISTENCE

Losar.. Tashi Delek!

Written by a dear friend on this happy occasion.. wishing all of you out there a Happy Losar. Hope this new year brings good luck in all our lives :)

Today is Losar
We are going to the Dzong
It is Bhutanese New Year
That we waited for long.

We make no resolutions
And got nothing to worry
It is just eating temptations
And drinking to glory.

We all get older by a year
Adding one to the Bhutanese age
Though our birthdays are far or near
Another year adds to life's page.

The celebrations will finish sooner
But we still relish them dearly
As Valentine's Day comes later
We get to re-write our love story.

I wish you all happy Losar
Good times with your family
With relatives from near & far
Enjoy the days happily.

Rejoice with shakam & seekam
Supplement with suja & red-rice
You may cook nakey with njakam
Adding to the days some more spice.
