Work. Life. Pain – Part III

I located my friend [Bhaia] at the corner busy with his business.

I just went around to share about -The Australian Rush and more. In our previous talk, he shared little about the pain of leaving behind family and country to live and work in foreign soil.

Bhaia, everyone, including the government feels the pain of losing a talented pool of young, qualified, trained and experienced people out of the system and the country. This is a serious concern even for a family and especially for the old parents and young kids who are left behind all by themselves. This is too much for a country of a small population.

"Sir, you are one of the lucky guys in the world." "Said Bhaia"

"I asked him, why?"

You are a government servant. You get paid every month. You don't have to worry about anything. Need not have to work so hard like me.

In my case, year after year, I am away from my family. If I am sick, I don't have anybody around to take care of me. This is because we have less jobs for people like me. And more importantly, the wage is very low.

Sir,,, in your case, it's not like mine. You have a secure and well paid job in hand.

Of course. But, these days more than a job and dignity, money matters for anything and everything. Listen, the monthly salary is just hardly enough for rent and bills and food. I am happy for a few days of the month and rest go by in pity. Nothing much can be done with my salary.

Bhaia, with so much pain, sacrifice and hard decisions, our young and talented people are leaving for Australia for the sake of their livelihood and family. As much as I am concerned, I am also equally happy because the money, experience and exposure each Bhutanese gets down there would one day benefit our country.

With great assurance, I promised my friend that it will take time, but someday with every bit and piece of money and experience and exposure, we will build this nation ever stronger and beautiful.

I wish our friends in Australia and those who are planning to move out will learn and earn a lot of dollars. And someday we can build this nation to greatness.

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
