Heavy Rainfall at Dewathang, Samdrup Jongkhar

With all the farmers welcoming the monsoon season, i too along with the farmers of Bhutan, welcome the monsoon season for the year 2012. This monsoon season remains me that it is the time for the farmers to start the cultivation of the rice. This monsoon also recalls my past memory where i had worked in paddy field helping my parents to plant rice in weekend.

The monsoon season at Dewathang, Smadrup Jongkhar was started from almost one month back but it was not as much heavy as that of yesterday (i.e., 12th June ) and today ( i.e., 13th June). The rain is so heavy that is very dificult to get to the office and back to the home. This was the first ever heavy monsoon i have observed since i join Jigme Namgyel polytechnic (JNP) from January 2011. This monsoon also recall that it is the time for the students to appear exam and close the summer semester, where we can go for vacation to meet our beloved parents.

Thanks to the GOD, thought it is little be late compared to previous year, for providing rain which immensely help the farmers of Bhutan and particularly to the farmers at Dewathang area. Once again thanks to GOD and Local deities and i will pray for their helps to our beloved farmers of Bhutan and ultimately to people like us who depend fully on farmers for foods and other necessary items.
