Face–to–Face with S.G

 

We may forget our actions, but memory remains forever.



S.G and I are made in heaven. The person with a completely different mentality –view –prospect –attitude –likeness and more. He is young and handsome and I am an old looking guy. 

 

S.G is a new boy on the campus. He came dreaming big from far away places; places I have never been to, the place is far away as geographically as it is mentally. Two beautiful souls are in the confluence of Damphu Campus for the same endeavour. For now he is my student and I am his mentor. He is a commerce student, whereas I am a science guy. 

 

S.G and I, both of us like to spend our time alone. One significant trait with S.G, he is a shy goy; hardly mingles with other friends. He wants to spend time fantasizing Marijuana and always wants to be himself like the great Walter Mitty. He has been into this habit since he was in grade nine. Undeniably, he shares to me that he enjoys this part of life –free. He does this every time he misses his parents, which helps him be at his freedom. 

 

S.G and I met each other in the month of May. Since then we have been together sharing many personal journeys. Over the years, we knew many things about each other. We share many common goals, dreams, wishes and future plans. He is a smart guy who can be a great asset to his family and the country as he is physically and mentally strong gentleman. 

 

S.G and I met as part of a new reform –the concept of Bhutan Baccalaureate where mentor-mentee system is one important element. And he happens to be in my group through a random selection process held at school in the beginning of this academic year. I am lucky to have him in my circle. For two years (2022-23), he will be under me for whatever activities that may come under BB. I shall guide him with utmost dedication and sincerity. I have also fancied him many beautiful dreams together on this campus.


S.G and I are like brothers now. Two of us share many commonalities of likes and dislikes, hobbies and passion, dreams and wishes, strength and weaknesses, memories and more.  

 

S.G and I came to one interesting conclusion while sitting face-to-face and we agreed on this line –"don't spoil a beautiful life" , which is so precious for a simple reason as this habit of smoking weeds. He promised to reflect upon each time he wishes to blaze these funny weeds. I related to him the preciousness of our life that God has ever gifted to this humanity. 


S.G and I came to a compelling point –both of us know the awful sides of this habit –it slowly destroys one's beautiful life, waste time and money, ruin family and friends, distance from loved ones and children, lose health and appetite, cost the government and community.

 

S.G and I agreed to explore more on pursuing a beautiful life journey by slowly leaving behind this old habit. It is nice to learn that he promised to remain clean from this habit and someday serve -TSA-WA-SUM- with pride and dignity. 

 

S.G and I agreed to continue such sessions anytime and explore more. We are passionate country men wanting to pay back to our motherland who has given us so much free education and healthcare. 

 

S.G and I agreed to commit for the cause of this nation like any other by supporting each other. Interestingly two of us have learnt to value life as it is so precious, more precious than a Diamond. We have also learnt that human form is undoubtedly the first and the last chance to be and experience such a luxurious life. We look forward to harnessing our strength and leaving many legacy behind.

 

Although S.G and I hail from different places and have different upbringing, yet we have many things in common, at the same time we have differences of heaven and hell and that is our strength. He basically had Eastern upbringing, while I come from a typical Southern family. 

 

S.G wishes me to age grey with fine personality, while I want S.G to serve our nation with highest integrity and dignity. This is after all our motherland!



NOTE: This is a story of two innocent souls –a gentle boy S.G and a teacher wishing to move this nation far …

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
