Pay Revision and My House Owner



Lately July 2014, comes home little more pay for public servants. In fact much awaited pledged by the ruling government in their election campaign but sounds more like thunder and lightning.  

 It's good news for all the civil servants but more to our dumps and it’s sure they'd giggle aloud. All the nook and corners knows that Bhutan is undergoing great rupee crises for almost two years now still everyone is expecting a salary increase as there are many reasons.  I know, no sooner did our two parliament houses pass the final pay bills for the civil servants. All would've started to plan on how to spend on the little increment without knowing many hungry mouths are aback.

Not to mentions all the underground responsibilities, my house owner would've already started calculating my salary and the new house rent index. Coming July counts down comes, my house owner would notify me with a new statement. “A new house rent index”. 

 Indeed, this not a surprise news for me at this juncture. But, I know little pinch might go deeper than usual. At the same time, the statement and the graciousness of my house owner will definitely boil my few calories of fat that has not gone for long. At least, I'd enhanced my skills on paying a rent.

Unlike, me there'd be many feeling the same pinch of this increment and the hungry holes. Our house owner would politely state us with 'dear SIR or MADAM'. A wonderful statement that'd insane us young and handsome. 

 I'm sure that statement of my house owner would surely take a position since it contain politeness within it.  Now at this time of the year all the house owners would've started printing and making the entire statement concerning each individual. 

Even the vegetables vendors and the goods suppliers would've already made an order for the printing press for the new rupee index. Whether fair or not. Who will bother and for what? 

 Who will check on the new rent index that goes beyond the laws of the country? Where gone our law makers when there is needful for a patriotic people? And for me the little increment of my salary will further worsen my times and the situations. Then can Bhutan attend the concept of Gross National Happiness is still in challenge ? Where Bhutan will lie in near future?

These're some of the very concepts of new salary increment for civil servants and at least the new idea on statement.

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.

The Story of Malika Chand.

There lived a schoolteacher named Malika Chand. She loved teaching and treated her students as she would, her own children. Nurturing their potential with great kindness. Her perennial motto was, 'Your,  I can is more important than your,  IQ .' She was known throughout her community as a person who lived to give. Who selflessly served anyone in need? Sadly, her beloved school, which had stood as a silent witness to the delightful progress of generations of children, succumbed to the flames of a fire set by an arsonist one night. All those in the community felt this great loss. But as time passed by, their anger gave way to apathy and they resigned themselves to the fact that their children would be without a school. "What about Malika?"   "She was different, an eternal optimist if there ever was one. Unlike everyone around her, she perceived opportunity in what had happened. She told all the parents that every setback offers an equivalent benefit ...
