An Extraordinary Nation


Wikipedia defines a nation as a community of people formed on the basis of a combination of shared features such as language, history, ethnicity, culture and or society. 

 

There is no denying the fact our Drupka Land fulfills these international standards. So we are a great nation. Thanks to our National Hero Beloved King –Gongsar Ugyen Wangchuck. 

 

To celebrate 115th National Day, the nationwide art competition is a great platform to showcase the creative art and mind of our artists. 

 

Lalith and I, the two of us are taking part simply because there are many unmatched undertakings in the country by our successive monarchs and people. Lalith has his god-gift art talent and I have the idea to contest on the theme. Moreover, it is also time to express gratitude to all the national heroes, culture and tradition that makes us unique and different. 

 

Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel and Guru Rinpoche made a good combination to put in the piece for the unification of culture and tradition and other Bhutanese Etiquette. 72% forest coverage and other national heritage such as Dzong and Lhakhang was another nice piece of information. Works and reforms under successive monarchs took our hearts and gave us national pride to express in the art piece. Wise International relations and limited foreign visitors was exceptional. The concept of GNH, Democracy, GYT and DYT, and unity and close-knit family and community were topics that gripped the two of us to include in our art piece. 

 

The two of us spent a lot of time fixing the jigsaw puzzle. However, the good thing is that before I met him, I had already thought over and pen down my rough ideas on a piece of paper to put in an artistic lens. 

 

Lalith, a grade eleven boy, took almost eight days to replicate my idea in the space the two of us have created. 

 

One thing I always dare to do is the fine art. Although I am not artistic and have this fine motor skill, I know many famed artists of the world and of our nation who have created history and are in the hearts of millions. 

 

I always dream of creating a photo gallery and art exhibition hall because it gives good feelings and a sense of good human touch because art is a medium to express feelings as it doesn't require any word to understand. Art is a universal language that doesn't separate region, religion, cast, creed, and color. 

 

I have seen a good future for this innocent boy. There is nothing more beautiful than having such a great time together. However, I assured him even if the two of us do not make it to the top ten entries, yet we have done a great deal of work that can be remembered long after this year. We can just open the door for another day. And more beautiful days are yet to come. We promised to move forward even if the sky shatters the door.

 

I wish him good luck in his future endeavors!

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. On the contrary, a little effort on your part will be much more effective than a great deal of effort on the part of the government..."                                     ( Address to the people of the Bhutan on the coronation day .

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
