Poor people of Lauri are lined up along the road to make their ends meet. They live under pitched temporary huts working for others. Lauripas are much poorer than they are thought to be. |
Lauripas with heavy loads on their backs make through the rugged terrain irrespective of the weather conditions such as rain and heat. |
Road has not reached Lauri geog. It is still half way. Even then Lauripas are using the rough road to and fro paying Nu 100 for barely 14 kilometres of road. |

ReplyDeleteThanx bro...credit goes to your camera without which these collections would not have been possible...thanx
DeleteDear mingro,
ReplyDeletenoted and thanks for creating such social net from your facebook.I enjoyed alot.I heard that you have created such network longtime ago but I could only see today because of my laziness.I should say that you are 'Times of Shingkhar Lauripa'because you are updating news and events happing there.I can say that you are 'Cultured Man'because you know folk tales of rural area.I know you are Journalist/Reporter before but still you are double Reporter in the sense you know every thing happening in and around the country even after your life as a Reporter.You are like a 'Historian' because you know about past and then relates with present for the better performance of future.In short,you are a 'man of everything'
Therefore,I respect your views,knowledge and experience that you have.Tashi delek from my side la.
With due respect,
Mingro(Tempa Gyeltshen)
Thank you Mingro for your valuable comments. I am happy that I you find goodness in my small work. It has been a few years since I developed my blog. I developed this to mainly bring in the issues that surrounds the local folks. I wanted to make known their difficulties and sufferings. I started with such noble thought but owing to my inability to manage time and also due to inadequacy of knowledge, I have not been able to push forward many things.
DeleteAnyhow, I am deeply honored to be called the "Times of Shingkhar Lauri". Thank you for this label although I least deserve it. All the writings here in my blog are my personal experiences. Being born in an underprivileged family, I had to fight hard before I reached this spot. And in due course of my fighting, I learnt so much that it would fill thousands of pages. Moreover, as a journalism student, I learnt more when I traveled from across the country.
I am just taking note of my life's journey here. I hope I give you pleasure to read. Thank you Mingro for your comments. I welcome more in the future. Thank you. Keep reading. Best Wishes....
