The Talking Mountain

  The beauty queen Taste in the air The art in the nature Queen of color The invisible feast Queen of the nectar Water, the life savior Hello LAL Butterflies are small flying creatures. It is beautiful and attractive. Found in different colors and sizes, it is one of the very shy and sensitive creatures to photograph. As beautiful as it appears, it is extremely difficult to be around. However, good control over the camera is one way to  maneuver the mission . Further, your behavior, body gears and movement also makes your trips successful  and  fulfilling.   I  started  my journey of watching and shooting this little creature in the year 2013. I lost a good collection (a few thousands) of photographs of roughly 150 different  varieties  of butterflies when I got a bad hard drive crash. It didn't stop me. I took another journey to keep my passion alive. I started watching and shooting in the next few years. Ever since, I fell in love with this little and beautiful creature in nature

by Kinley Dorji After a Radio Valley Talk Show hosted by Kunga Dorji, better known as "supe", I came to know Dasho Kinley Dorji more and better than I saw him as a secretary of the Ministry of Information and Communication. Listening to their talk show, I was thrilled to have his book and waited for the book.  A few weeks ago, I came across a post made by Chablop PaSsu on "BOOKNESE" about the book release, ready for an online order. It took me no time to place an order. With the hope deep inside, I waited for an immediate response from the page admin. After a few hours, it was Lyonpo Loknath Sharma, Minister for Economic Affairs who gracefully and coincidentally responded as "Sancha, where are you –I can send you a copy as I got two la". It took me some time to think and respond to Lyonpo. Honestly it took me many more to respond. But, deep inside I needed the book by Dasho Kinley. I was longing read his book. I gave my address to Lyonpo in a personal chat

Hello Sancha, I got a surprise email from a friend in Guinea this morning. He stated a few pertinent points, which I feel like sharing here.    How is Bhutan?  I always love to visit your beautiful country. I want to learn more about GNH from your country and people. It was so nice to see your beautiful king and queen giving their best for the country. I was happy to learn that COVID situation was very much under control. Keep it up!    I wasn't sure what to reply. Instead I landed up writing about recent winter timing for civil servants, which raises many concerns.    I sincerely applaud RCSC for making a bold decision about winter office timing for civil servants. It is a win-win situation for the country and the individual. All the civil servants will continue to work from 9am to 5pm this winter was the press statement. This is not a real big deal for all of us who have come from a very hard time. I am not so sure if this trend will continue to remain the same for the coming yea
