The Perfect Weekend Outing


Saturday wasn't that great. Champions City fell 11 points behind the top rival Liverpool in EPL fixtures after nervy 14 games down already. Therefore, the hope of winning a third consecutive EPL crown for City is becoming slimmer and daunting. Anyway, I am hoping the best to happen on the City side in the coming days. 

However, Sunday was full of different experiences as I could visit recently revived Dangkhar Menchu to soak myself despite a hectic schedule. The Menchu is located 8 kms (app. 4.9 miles) away from Zhemgang town towards Trongsa. It was face-lifted jointly by Zhemgang Forest Division, and the people of Dangkhar village for the preparation of recently (Nov. 11 - 13) held "Bhutan Bird Festival" at Tingtibi.  Perhaps, it was a gift for all of us. However, as of now, the Menchu is managed by the Dangkhar Community, and is open to all ages, and kinds. 

Time: Anytime of the day. However, the best is during weekends and other holidays.

Charges: As of now, the fees are very reasonable, and affordable. It is Nu. 100 per hour per person. One tub (Waa) can comfortably accommodate two persons at a time. If you like to visit the Menchu, you may kindly inform the caretaker (head of the committee) two-to-three hours in advance for the necessary arrangements. (contact number#+975-17537204).

Benefits: Healing effects –boost blood circulation, reduce stress, piles, body, and joint ache.

Recommendation: Although, the place is very suitable, serene, and ideal for both family and individuals outing. However, car parking and safety railings are required not only for kids but also for senior citizens right in front of the main entrance and the way that leads to the toilet. Although the location of the toilet is quite far away, however, toilet facility is superb, and impressive. 

During my first visit, I found the caretaker (manager) of the Menchu very polite, lively, and approachable because in many offices and organizations these human qualities are actually missing today. So next time you visit Zhemgang, don't miss to visit and soak yourself in the Menchu. 

However, I am a bit skeptical about its sustainability, and the management.

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.

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
