Respected, Joung-Ok Kim and family,

Let me thank you and your family immensely for being my excellent host-parent and for accepting a completely different human-being to be part of your beautiful family. Nonetheless, thank you also for honoring BHUTAN. Although, the duration was very short yet it was memorable in so many ways. I have really enjoyed your company and delicious meal.  

Initially, I was not only worried and nervous but also my voice was shaking and few words were stammering. However, it was very happy to interact and share so many dreams with your two lovely kids – Seo-Yoon Choi and Seo-Gang Choi together. You have a very humble, friendly and a great husband. I find all of them very lovely and a genuine human-being. I thank you for creating a very lively and comfortable environment from the start to the end of my stay at your luxurious apartment. It was amazing to see a strong and lovely family bond and God bless your family with the same spirit of happiness forever.

Thank you for giving me a chance to experience great Korean meals, family life and culture. Thank you also for a lovely gift and a drive. I thank your son (Seo-Yoon Choi) who sacrificed his cozy bed and let me sleep like my own bed. Your hospitality and lively environment has given me a great feel of being with my parents and family. You have not given a chance to miss my country and family. The experience was very formative and memorable.

My heart has filled with shame and guilt for your generosity and the kindness shown towards me, and indeed I was touched –beyond words.

I felt lucky and honored to be part of your joyful family. I wish every family to be like your small and happy family. I have seen so many good values and examples as a mother, teacher, wife and friend. All I wish is that we have made a relationship not to last for a few days but to last forever. Meeting somebody special like you, your husband and your two smart kids at this time and age is something very extraordinary and special to me. 

May your family remain happy and successful? And remain blessed forever with good health and fortune. I would cherish forever the relationship we built today. 

Sometime, if you happen to visit my country – a very tiny, under-developed, landlocked, forested country, please do let me know. I will try my best to help you and your family as far as possible. Bhutanese people are simple and ordinary. The place is very safe for all kinds of people to walk around freely anywhere and anytime. In fact, we are beautiful in our own way and that is very difficult to find easily. However, stray dogs are quite common in the streets and it may scare you sometime. 

Gam sa ham ni da! Beyond the Sky and the Earth!

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

Golden Words Of King Jigme Singye Wangchuck

King Jigme Singye Wangchuck "...in particular, speaking for myself; my sorrow in having lost my own father is indeed very great. What is more the country has lost a king whose kind has till now never been known..."                                                                ( Royal proclamation to the people of Bhutan, July 26, 1972)                                      "...as far as you, my people, are concerned, you should not adopt the attitude that whatever is required to be done for your welfare will be done entirely by the government.

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
