Farmers' Dream

Dear Farmers of Kikhar, Zhemgang

... "I have decided not to continue with mushroom cultivation." Grieved Thinley from Kikhar, Zhemgang on the disappointment of mushroom farming. 

I have passed the following blind comment on the Kuensel post dated October 2. 

"We are too fast to conclude. We must try the maximum, give our best, explore means and need to be innovative. This is good news but discouraging for others in such pursuit. Nothing comes easy. There are no free meals in life."

I am quite adamant that I may have sounded rude and a bit selfish. While I know what it is to lose such a stake, the means of livelihood!

While I can feel the disappointment of our farmers, their time, energy, and resources going down the drain. However, nothing comes for free in life. As much as these aspiring mushroom farmers of a remote pocket of the country, I am concerned and bothered by this news of a failed trial of mushroom farming. This is not the end of everything. We must learn from the failures. 

As a son of a farmer myself, the pain of losing the ultimate means of livelihood, is nothing more disappointing than this. However, it should be the lesson for the next move, on what went wrong and how to overcome those setbacks. One must have positivity, courage, virtue, workmanship, and never never-giving mentality, and not be a failure-bound person either. 

I am sure the next bountiful harvest is waiting for you all. Keep trying and show to the world that there is still a chance to stand. It shows your courage and will to do the minimum. One need is to be resilient, and innovative, explore beyond normal and be mindful of whatever is planned. 

Innovative means our farmers need to explore and harness endless solutions not only from within but also beyond the border. Great ideas and practical solutions are just a click away as no formal training or need to visit a service center like in the past. There is endless exposure: YouTube, Social Media, Google, etc...Just keep exploring more. 

I have unconditional hope and trust for our farmers who shed a lot of hardship in the sun, and rain. Despite your failure this time, you all deserve our sincere praise. 

Particularly for us, a landlocked country with limited, very limited resources and expertise, we are bound for failure. But every time we step down, we must learn to stand more firm and strong and need to learn the power of setbacks in life. 

I share my raw reverential thought, but the greater share of impact is for the budding entrepreneurs, or enthusiasts young minds striving to be in the pool of farming are at the losing end of the hope. Just forget about one-time failure, tomorrow will be brighter. Keep working more like you all do always. 

Remember you are your sunshine, hero. There is nothing wrong with failing. If you all work with hope, one day, soon enough, you will reap your hardship, the workmanship craft. If not for a bigger dream or kind cash income, it will surely be a great feast for your family and the community. 

Perhaps, every start goes through a tough, same head-scratching experience. Experience of both good and hard times makes one strong and grounded. You must learn all the goodness from these experiences take this failure as your strength and move on with even more courage and power to try more and fail more, and that will surely be your success.

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.

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
