The Talking Mountain

Samyae Resort is a few minutes’ drive from Chamkhar town towards Trongsa highway. It lies just above the road after passing the current fuel depot. It is beautifully built in outmost Bhutanese style and architect.   I had few hiccups when I heard the charge for the room. It mentally burned me. But, I did not hesitate to put up myself. Since, it was my first chance to be in such a big–budget place.  Do I have all the money and power to live in a resort meant for foreigners were some questions that passed cold through my spine? However, I have controlled my emotion. Front View of Samyae Resort Indeed, it was my first time walking in such an expensive lane, equivalent to someone who can pay in dollars. Perhaps, before entering into the rooms, I have built all my courage to walk in like foreigners.  I have pretended as if I am used to living in a resort, and have walked thousand times in a such lavish room.

Recently I came across news by Kuensel. –" 83 households in Tsirang has no grid electricity ." And it caught my attention for the outlandish failure and wrong information recorded for rural electrification.   Interestingly, it was sad to see poorly schooled officials who do not know the difference between solar and hydro power energy.

We don't want to travel back in times neither we don't want to be like camel on the deserted island.  It is sad to know that our officials are failing to perform their duty. Why these many villages are still without any electricity connection? What are our

Belgium was out last night. But I still have one last hope with England tonight.  Uruguay side seemed unarmed when Cavani couldn't make it to first eleven. The other team mates were mentally disturbed. Luis Suarez was alone to hit the target. Surprisingly Argentina have conceded more goals than expected from s cintillating  France. Messi was blamed for it. Spain was another big team who was axed by the Russians. Gerard Pique had not done enough was the reaction.   When many rejoice the world cup, few Thai families mourn for 12 boys and a football coach who were trapped in the Thai cave. However, due to international help, good fortune and weather conditions have favored the extraction work of all 13 beautiful souls successfully on time, just before the the first world cup semi-final. Heroes were the cave divers and the doctors.  But on the other hand, Ip Man was heavily paralyzed by his physics and mathematics syllabus. Some local researchers have found out that some
