Changes that Dawa finds after coming Back to Where It All Began
As Dawa walked down the Paro Street, some of the older dog recognized him and greeted him amicably. The only reason to be back in Paro was to meet with Old Molay. But Dawa finds out that she had died several years ago and he also finds out that there are many wastes thrown in the river. Some of the big willow trees and the huge bounders were still there. There were many cares on the road, a big mechanical workshop just across the road and houses everywhere he looked.
It was the same in Thimphu; he found out that Dampa too had died a long time ago. Most of the young population had no idea who he was, only some had vaguely heard about him. The nightly howling was cacophonous not orchestrated and disciplined as it was during his time.
