Six years ago, I was in Bumtamg for NyeKor. And lately,
I was there for a government agenda. It was just, just a cloud nine; we were at
Yugarling Resort-Karma sum resort (Haha…).
It is not that I haven’t been to a 3-star resort before.
But, I am saying, it was different.
When I reached the resort, the receptionist took me to
the room and left. Then inside, for a couple of minutes, I looked for the
switch but failed.
I rang the receptionist.
In a second, she came, pulled out the key from the
door, inserted it into the holder, and the room automatically glowed yellow.
At that jiffy, I hated myself the most.
This wasn’t the end of the wonder. Normally, in any
resort, we see geezers. But again, I didn’t see it as expected. I was certain that
there should be; it is Bumthang. But, where?
Luckily, one time, I read “Lessons from a “broken”
tap”, a blog written by Pema Yuden under the title Random Rants with Pema. It came in handy that day.
Learning from her lesson, I moved the tap up and down,
and left and right. With these movements, I managed to receive lukewarm
water, at least. Otherwise, cold water was fate. And that is also in Bumthang. OMG!
Of all, gents’ urinal was the best, I must say. If we
are chicken-hearted, it will get us thinking that the resort is possessed by a spirit and even die-Kidding.
I went to the urinal. Before I could open the zip to
pee, it would flush itself. Confuse, or to put it right, apprehensive for a
moment, I backed.
Forgetting it as a coincidence, I again opened the
zip. There wasn’t a flush. Relieved, I did and backed to zip up. After a
moment, the flush would again initiate. This
got my hair standing on end for I was only the one in the room.
Gathering all my courage, I didn’t look at the
urinal, went to the bed, opened the phone, and surfed the net about it. I came to
know that it is a sensor urinal. Phew!
From all these, I have learned the best lesson in life that
we should ask if we don’t know before we die hundred times.
