Spent Less, Saved More –What an Interesting Resolution for 2021 by BBC

I wasn't surprised by this beautiful catchphrase "Spent Less, Saved More" on the eve of 2021 by BBC. It was intended for two good reasons. Firstly unlike other years 2020 was horrible with exponential spending. Secondly it talks about the importance of saving culture.

It also meant to caution people on eating habits, buying habits, spending habits, cooking habits, dieting habits and wasting habits. The limited resources are getting depleted overly in the hand of gruesome people. However, given the power of this mainstream channel, I am sure everyone must have realized the value of resources –both natural and man-made need care and need to be preserved. 

Bhutanese complaining on skyrocketed prices on consumer goods is a reality. As a dependent society we must realize that every material and consumer goods comes with heavy cost and sacrifice. Recently I came across two very interesting Kunesel headlines. One says 'CFM vendors fight for chillies' and other states 'lack of coordination amongst officials impacts farmers' '. I could see nothing but a rally for a very inefficient system in place for a small nation. Such issues have been going on for quite some time. It needs some serious change. We need good players on the ground that can bulldoze the change we look for and not merely in the office cubicle. 

Due to the pandemic, many developed nations, which are geographically blessed and laboriously powerful, were left bemused by the chaos of insufficient food supply is a lesson especially for Bhutanese people, who survive in the hands or sacrifice of our Indian farmers. It is a warning that the worst is not yet seen.

This is no joke. 

Therefore, we need to be extremely careful in every single grain we consume. We need to make sure no food we prepare goes to waste. Remember cooking, eating and storing the right amount would save others from starvation. 

So, let us learn to "save more, spend less" is more than the BBC slogan.

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
