Tashi wakes upon the call of the noisy alarm he had set the night before. The rooms had already been lit up bright and the sun’s rays revealed the dusts floating freely in the air. After a quick shower, he turns on the oven and toasts some bread. He enters his alter where the walls could be seen decorated with Thangkas, the religious scrolls and the fresh smell of the burning incense sticks purified the room. The aroma filled the entire apartment. He chants his usual prayers and performed few prostrations. In front of the giant dressing mirror, he adjusts his outfit, the white coat over his light blue collar shirt. His navy trouser was a good match with his dark brown shining shoe. He takes out the plate from the oven and sandwiches the omelette in between the loafs of bread. He dips it in jam and digs in with a momentary sip of his coffee.
He smiles to every new faces he meets in the hospital compound. The two storeyed buildings seemed to be still holding strong. Everyone looked busy with their schedules and work pattern. He walks over the dispensary counter and greeted to a familiar face. He was his senior back in college. Tashi was glad he knew at least a face among dozens. His senior helped him to get the key to the work unit. Tashi opens the door to find it spacious with well equipped cupboards, chairs and the tables neatly arranged. He enters another door to the left to see the working chamber. All the necessary instruments were arranged and the room looked convenient for the work. Tashi sits on the revolving arm chair and goes through the register to kill his curiosity. Just then a nun enters the room with a prescription; he quickly notes down the details and does a filling for her. Two more patients come seeking for his service and he renders it with enthusiasm.
He was astonished to see numerous missed calls from his brother and he calls back. . “Why aren’t you receiving my call?” Wangchuk barked. “I was engaged with few patients”, he responded softly. “Come to get blessing from Garab Rinpoche. Be quick!!” Beside the highway, everyone was perfectly lined up in a long queue. He rushed out quickly and found a space in between where he gently squeezed in. He smiled after a fortunate blessing on his first day of work.He receives an invitation for a soccer match after the working hours, which he gladly accepts. He joins hesitantly with the hospital staffs and drove off to the ground. The match started in a dry sandy ground with chilling breeze of winter sweeping across the faces and occasionally leaving behind storms of dust. He tries to fit in and coordinate with the team. After a wonderfully competitive match, his goals also contributed to their deserved victory over the opponents. Tashi enjoys the treat with the team.
The darkness slowly consumed the sky as the sun slowly glided down the edges of the mountain ranges. The chilling breeze produced swooshing roars as it brushed past the dried tree leaves. The chilling winter haven’t stopped its effect of keeping most of the villagers at home and harvest of crops at bay. Tashi lied in his bed satisfied with the good start of his career which he has anticipated. A good beginning to the lifeline of his career indeed made his day unforgettable.
