The Photo that Speaks of Two Nations

Bhutan Prince and Japan Prince

The moment I opened my FB Page on the night of 19th August, I came across this heart-warming picture of Royal Prince the Gyalsey, Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck with His Imperial Highness Prince Hisahito of Japan at Lingkana Palace in almost every FB page. It got lots of attention. To find the authentic source of the beautiful picture of two Royal Princes, I quickly searched His Majesty's FB Page and it was HM who shared this particular image on his FB Page. Out of many Royal Images, this one was at high attention and likeness, which shows that two countries have shared strong bonds and mutual respect for each other. Perhaps, it talks about the great length of history between Bhutan and Japan.

The photo of two Royal Princes not only made me pour down my feelings, it made me feel good and connected, it made me feel proud of my small country to the outside world that size doesn't matter. There is nothing happier than this moment for the people of Bhutan and Japan to see two Royal Families coming together to share commonness and goodwill, which I feel would ultimately benefit two nations for now and for the future generations.

Japan has been a great and sincere development partner right after the establishment of diplomatic relations officially on March 28, 1986. Today Bhutan and Japan successfully completed 33 years of very successful and strong diplomatic relations that were laid down during the reign of the Great Fourth and Government of Japan.

However, sadly so far Japan has been a lone player (one sided) to support Bhutan in the field of agriculture, construction sector (bridge), education and health and vice-versa is yet to come. Japan also has supported Bhutan heavily on machinery and other necessary foreign aid programs.

One thing that passes through my spine every time I pass across the bridge made by Japanese Engineer is, it gives me good feelings, it makes me feel that their work ethic and strong sense of the quality work done.

I heard from someone who has worked under Dai Nippon Construction (DNC) that Japanese people and Engineers are so particular and timely in their work. During the course of work, everybody has to wake up as early as 5 AM only to take some moment to do morning PT and relax and be ready for the day.

But, interestingly they like light breakfast which include fruits and other necessary diets, not necessarily Rice and Ema Datsi.

I wish and pray for an ever lasting relationship for two Royal Nations. May the light of peace always prevail under the guidance of visionary Kings of Bhutan and the Imperial Family of Japan.

Palden Drukpa Gyalo!

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. On the contrary, a little effort on your part will be much more effective than a great deal of effort on the part of the government..." ( Address to the people of the Bhutan on the coronation day .

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
