Book Review: Jonathan Livingston Seagull

The book is about a seagull bird trying to conquer the world beyond daily norms of life –flying and eating.

In this book the author has emphasized on the feeling of being limitless and inspires the mind to stand out and become who you want to be regardless of others.

It teaches the quest for excellence can be a lonely one. However, it's important to set vision and ambition.

The author describes the importance of spirituality in one's life. The deeper meaning is in pursuing the joy of flying while other seagulls were flying just for the sake of finding food. On the other hand, the author showed the compassion of Jonathan towards his flock that they too should learn to be free and outdo the limits to live freely and enjoy what is given to them.

However, Jonathan Seagull was quite different to the rest of the flocks since he spent much of his time practicing flight, dive and speed beyond daily flying lessons. He failed a thousand times before he succeeded to be like two other seagulls so high up flying. In the adversities, he was neglected and ignored. But, he did not stop his focus. This should be life's goal.

"The gull sees farthest who flies highest" is so true not only to those gulls but also to our everyday life. It teaches us the lesson of trying more.

If anybody can show someone on the ground how to see a thousand miles, it will be Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

This book will always be a top favorite and I wish more people would read and be their own Jonathan Livingston Living.

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
