2022: A Special Year For Us

With much hardship, we finally call it a year. The year that has given us so much has also trapped so much sweat from each one of us.  It not only made us strong but also equipped us with many unforeseen life obstacles. Before we depart for winter break, we come together to celebrate our achievement and bid farewell to our outgoing friends. 


We are a group of 20 beautiful souls! 

Today as we come together to celebrate our year-long struggle and achievement, it is a time to deeply reflect upon our individual effort, commitment and sacrifice we made as a team to come this far for the national cause. 

 

I must tell you that it was an honour and privilege for me to serve you all with so much joy and happiness.

 

We have had a beautiful beginning. Most of us were ready to explore on new journey with fresh ideas. Undoubtedly, the inception of Bhutan Baccalaureate was a new concept and journey less travelled for all of us, yet we gave our best for all the programs. Today as we sit and reflect back, we have done so many beautiful things together. 

 

Half-way through the year, we were in between the test of time versus the syllabus feast. Despite numerous celebrations, holidays, sickness, tests, exams, teaching, and BB programs, we still could sail well and had a lot of time for fun. 

 

Although the whole year was a rollercoaster, a bit of everything has happened. But, undoubtedly we have learnt to serve ourself with dignity. Advancing into the final quarter of the year was more exciting, but at the same time it was the tight battle between syllabus versus time. The good thing was that our unrelenting self-disciplined mind gave way to this rewarding end.  


I have always entered this campus with good intention to serve you all with dedication and highest integrity. Indeed, I tried my best to make you all feel good, so that your stay becomes memorable even long after you leave this institution. I am sure each one of you must have learnt good human values. And I believe this is nation building. 

 

I want each one of you today to forgive me in case for being unkind, unfair, and unjust. Nevertheless I gave you cause for concern for being so punctual as it troubled many of you to make your presence on time for SUPW. And I believe this too is nation building.

 

Let me once again bring this under your notice –I am addicted to a few habits which you all would think are useless and make no sense –but to me this matters as a concerned citizen. I am so close to nature and addicted to coming on time, responsible of my own waste, which must have hurt some of you here. And I believe this too is nation building. 

 

I must tell you, for any small good habit that you build each day would only make you closer to achieving your goals in life. It has the power to make you wiser and fulfill all your dreams and wishes. Such an act shall only benefit you and the country. And this too is nation building. 

 

As we close our mentor-mentee session today, things are not over, we still share our bond, friendship and care. I may have failed in some part of my duty, and must have failed to meet some of your expectations, but the good part is that I learnt to give my 100 percent for my service. I hope to continue helping and be your mentor throughout. And this too is nation building. 

 

If you want to achieve something beautiful, you must learn to sacrifice and work hard, you must not cease to learn and learn to give 100 percent. Also learn to develop a positive mindset and set high dreams for which you all would one day find happiness and accomplish your goal. If all these things become everyday habits –beautiful things such as houses, cars, clothes, meals and life partners are guaranteed. And I believe this too is nation building. 

 

With all our afford, we could achieve so much in a short span of time which I believe is a huge thing for all of us. And today as we gather to bid farewell to some friends, this is also a moment to deeply reflect upon our difficult journey we have travelled throughout the year. These must be our guiding principles for the future. I thank each one of you for being so kind and cooperative as it made my work easy and comfortable. I wish you to continue to be a good human being even beyond this campus. Above all, we have learnt human values and shared knowledge and made a friendship to last a lifetime. And this too is nation building. 

 

Please continue to be a good human being no matter what place, position and wealth each one of you accomplish in life. Remember your goodness is the only constant thing in life. And this too is nation building. 

 

I request each one of you to serve your parents well because they won’t be with you forever. Just remember they have sacrificed everything for you. Parents are the special gift that God has ever created. They are once in a lifetime. Show them kindness, support, love and care no matter what the situation may be  because they have given you the best foods, best clothes and protected you from everything. And this too is nation building. 

 

Let me also tell you that life from today will become more difficult and risky. If you learn to develop a positive mindset, nothing shall bar you from achieving your goal in life. Everything in life will never be easy, never going to be an easy task from today. However, I am happy to say that we have equipped ourselves for the last 13 years for the future we are heading into from today. And I believe this too is nation building. 

 

If I am asked to write one greatest achievement for the year, it is you all and the journey we have trodden for the whole year.  

 

Thank you for sacrificing your time with me.

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
