Awesome Life of Bachelorhood

The Life of all bachelorhood around the world would differ with every person, yet there is similarities that everyone has or does when being a bachelor. Take the case of a room being messed up or kitchen dishes all over. I am sure that everyone must have experienced the life of bachelorhood or as a spinster in their life while you are working in govt office or private office. It is being heard, said and listened that life being a bachelor or spinster is more like a free bird which flies over the destination without a reason. Remember the old goodies days in the school as a boarding student one would be late to the class or might forget to eat his meal on time and later looking all over for junk food. Likewise a bachelor who has a job or working has the most lavish of his life, the feeling of tension, problem are minimal unless you are into some mischief, the worries at home is such that you as an bachelor tend to forget when only at times the need arises where you suffered.

To be precise the bachelor daily life starts with a cup of hot coffee or tea served ready from the boiler which has been kept on for days in the morning and then to office where during lunch time, they might go out with friend in their favorite restaurant where they are offered with credit payable at the end of the month. For few people, they might want to stay at home and watch tv whilst most bachelor would preferred to dress in casual and would be hanging in the city once the office hours is over. They would be hanging out with couple of good/bad friends in a bar or a pool room or a hangout places. The real enjoyment and fun takes place in a pool room where they chatter, gossip about the works, about girls and so on, grab a chill beer whilst they aim for the black to pot in the hole. When on party nights, it becomes much more fun with a couple of calories burned down as they rock the dance floor with a partner or in a group. Wouldn’t it be a nice life being a bachelor to have all sort of fun all days, week, and month, but how long one can sustain with a mere salary of 150 odds USD per Month keeping in mind to pay the house rent, electricity bills and other items, yet they still manage to live up to the expectation, WOW!!

Now, let’s talk something very interesting about the home or the place they stay. Some guys are a good at home doing the work which women or ladies does keeping the place neat and clean, and whenever someone comes to the place, he or she goes say WOW!! You got lovely place, thumbs up!!, he goes in a corner and giggle, I am forced to do it coz my girlfriend doesn’t want me to stay in a messy room. OMG!! What about the rest of the bachelor guys, are they lazy or is time conscious for them to clean and maintain the room, where their home spread all over with junk of cloths, their bed not arranged, laundry all over the places and empty beers bottle lying down the corner waiting for someone to pick it up and make a good money selling to a vendor.

It would be nice for some to have their bedroom and housed cleaned all the time, but how often can a bachelor guys does have determine to do it, okay, you do it for a day or two and when you have your friend and your girlfriend friends over your place messing up everything as they or you have want to enjoy the moment, as one of your friend put on the music while other ratted the beers. Things would be worse in the kitchen as you opened the rice cooker to see if there is any rice left for the dinner and you are unaware that the rice has been cooked week before and the dishes all over the place eh!! It would be the worse day when you actually take up the cleaning.

Forget about the bedroom and kitchen now, looks around in the bathroom and you will see that the place is right suited for dung flies with laundry dumped or soaked in the bucket for couple of days and even week whilst you scratch your head, take a puff of smoke and then wrap your head with blanket as the snooze keep you away from all the tension. How lovely and interesting life that a bachelor would have until u are tied up with the knot.

Best Time to Visit Bhutan

Well i am not sure how far the tourist and visitor visiting Bhutan knows the timing of their visit, though tourist flow throughout the years there has been gossip about the best time to visit Bhutan. Off late, Bhutan opened the door to tourist and the amount of tourist arrival has been increasing year by years which shows there is not much of a exact dates or months for the visit. But if you want to get your full holiday trip and have a memorable stay in the kingdom of Bhutan, the land of peaceful dragon, i would suggest or want everyone to make your trip during spring season and autumn as this provide you an opportunity's to see the best festivals of Bhutan. The weather suits you the best with not much cold or hot as Bhutan being in the Himalayan region, there is not much to worry about the weather unless you are on trek or on hike, there may be few droplets of rains but you can still avoid the monsoon season of Bhutan which usually take place from June to August.

One might want to know again which months provide the most ideal trip or travel to Bhutan, October and November provides the best months with major festivals, in this months trekking in Bhutan would be preferred as ideal as the skies is usually clear and you have the best view of beautiful mountains peaks getting almost to the blue skies above.

The second best time to visit Bhutan is early march to may where touring and traveling are favored.At this time the wild flower and flora blossom which gives nature a wonderful place to explore, birding watching would be best as the wild bird life get into numbers.

Winter is a good time for touring in western Bhutan, bird watching in the subtropical jungles in the south, and white water rafting in the punachangchu and wangdiphodrang regions where the weather is warm. The days are sunny and warm during day time and a bit of coldness during evening and morning. When the Winter season in Bhutan hits during the months of December to February, the road from Thimphu to Bumthang and the east may be closed because of snow fall in dochula pass and pelela pass which is in the central Bhutan, the snowfall last for couple of days . I would suggest everyone not to make or plan trip to visit these regions as you might be stuck in the middle of a road and a problem for you.

Nevertheless the arrival of tourist in Bhutan in all months has increased compared to 4-5 years before. A Increase in the Number of Bhutan Travel Agents and Tour Operators operating the travel service and tour package to the visitor.

My Taxi Ride to Office from Home

Well, This might be not an appropriate post to post here but still i decided to put it on, The theme of the Video is "My Taxi Ride to office from Home" and yea, i stay way down in Olakha (Below Simtokha) which is around 5 km from the Capital City Thimphu and luckily the double lane highway has made easier for me and for all the people staying. My usual and all over Bhutan office timing is 9 am in the morning to 5 pm in th evening. It depend on the winter scheduled and summer as during winter, Thimphu get into freezing point and government does have summer office timing and winter office time. The winter office timing starts from 9 am in morning to 4 pm in evening.

If you are work place is far away from your home, you get the all sort of trouble like being late sometime when there is none to give you lift nor the taxi come on the way. Check out my video about "Taxi Ride to office from Home". Anyone wants to share your thought, feel free to leave comment.

Bhutan Beautiful Nature and Hills Picture

I Just love the Green Scenario of Bhutan, Just awesome and wonderful, the Mountains and hills cover up the most part of Northen Bhutan and few plain area in the south. The vegetation changes as you go high up from foothills (Phuntsholing, Gelephu, Sarpang ) where you get the broad leaves all around and at around 3000 meters above sea level, the place like Thimphu, Paro, haa you will find the green Pine Tress.

Lowland Area of Punakha District and Wangduephodrang are no short of Pine tress but does have other vegetation. Bhutan is blessed with natural vegetation covering almost 60% of the Land and mostly the forest area. Well one can find different vegetation species on your way uphill to Dochula and other higher altitude places of bhutan, the Rhododendron, blue poppy, National Flower of Bhutan and other beautiful flowering plant.

One might be fascinate to see the beauty of the bhutan vegetation and the nature as you take the road during your course of Journey, the road going all the way from hills, narrow valley and broad valley, the rivers which flows down the valley makes even more fascinating with pure and clean water which comes all the way from the mountains. The view are simply mind blowing.

The road are narrow that at times you can only have one vehicle space to accommodate but with the road widening at the progress, there will be enough space for tow or three vehicle to travel freely. The below are the picture taken of the Bhutan hills, river, and places. Just an perfect place for the tourist destination for all of us.
