Inflation rate - not happy game

It won’t surprise our people to get news font-line on inflation rate that are happening round the clock and its even becoming talk of the town. It is not a new updates. But, the very recent inflation rate was beyond imagination to many. 

Perhaps- for civil servant recent pay review is not even equals to meet the recent inflation rate. Since, the rate of every commodities is never been compromised. Rather, it seemed to accelerate in complex. Is it, what Bhutanese are born to face in this century?

As soon as the news derives about the inflation rate for commodities, many of us needed to empty their little incomes. The news on inflation rate is never been a good news for many livelihoods and no exception for me today.  

The inflation rate that was highest in the month of July soon after the pay review for the civil servants was something unexpected. In fact, the news broad-casted was not an impressive one. Since, the little income done by the individual is almost spent for this increased inflation. On the same reflection, civil servants are always the loser for this game.  For now, I am bit worried in buying a kilogram of salt that might cost me more than usual. Since, with this accelerated hike on commodities my salary is not just enough for surviving.  Similarly, I am nervous too with other bills that come at the end of every month.

Again the thrill of this October month was yet another challenging moment for all the mobile users in paying extra tax on every recharge. Since, it was imposed by our present government as green tax for telecommunication. I can understand this as simply emptying the little earnings. Similarly, if all the paying in the form of taxes exceeds individual earnings one would certainly enter into negative before monthly salary comes in account. Then, our civil servant who is depending on salary must need- needful time surviving in Bhutan. 
 
In general whatever the earnings done through one's hard toiling is going back to government in the form of taxes.

    Sir, you have accurately reflected the outcome of pay review.
    Everything changed with pay review. Government assumed the Bhutanese reach to the materialistic life after pay review and comes many tax.

    Sancha sir, as you said, the value of money is nothing now a days. After few years a 500/- note may get only one kilo of salt.

Iron Lady of India dies at 68.

It was neither a good news to millions of Tamilian nor to the parliament house. But, she will continue to remain one of the most influential person in politics and in the film industries. Perhaps, she became more than the goddess of Tamil Nadu politics. She has been a greatest asset to her country in her best pursuit. The women who has ruled India more like 'Gandhian Philosophy.'   Jayalalithaa jee She has done every preeminent possible ways to bring massive changes in the life of millions of people and uplifted the Indian society than any other women. She had worked so hard, she had risk every bits of her life just for the benefit of all the Indians because of which she had gained a huge popularity amongst the other leaders. She was popularly known as an ‘ Iron Lady ’ for being tough and firm in her action and ‘ Amma ’ for acting more than a mother for millions of homeless and to the needy ones.’   The best part I have seen throughout her political regime and fil

Goodbye Beloved Teachers

When life has thousands reasons to walk and live, I've thousands different ways to spend my coming holidays. So, does you all my ‘teacher-colleagues’ I've been working so hard for nearly, 280 days round the clock in, educating different lives with different wants, likes and ages. Honestly, I've been so busy and fully occupied for countless hours of teachings, correcting exam papers, assessing note books etc… – and that is called the life of a ‘every tangible teachers’. As a teacher/educator, almost every time - life goes beyond teaching and correcting exam papers. As, we need to engage our students into various fields of learning – going for extra classes, attending club activities, prayers, co-curricular activities, literary activities, cultural programs and so on…and this is the life of each teacher behind the screen. Yet, we get lots of blame starting from the people of highest rank to the lowest. In Bhutan, now a day in the name of suicide case, educa
