Out - off syllabus

The year is coming to its halt. I have many undone work on my table to complete. The work is pressing me so much and sometimes life goes like that of a busy broker without knowing what is happening next to me. Perhaps, day’s to cherish entirely.

Being a class-adviser, I am accountable for all activities in the class. So, to this fact on 4th evening, my class had organized a special get - together session. I must say, it's the good bye farewell.

At around 5:30PM, my-self with other subject’s teachers headed toward the hall with much tangled mind. They welcomed us sincerely and to our surprise my class-monitor came up to me with a gift and handed it to me with few words of gratefulness. In fact, I was totally surprised to receive the gift. Yet, for good reasons - I have accepted with good heart. It really touched my heart and it reminded my school days as student. Now, I became their guru, adviser and a tutor. Anyway, thank you for the gift.  

For the night, they came with many entertaining programs well planned - jokes, songs, forgiveness speeches to each other and shared few kinder messages for final exams. In the same front, they even asked us to sing a song and we did happily for their delight. Perhaps, the universal believe amid teachers- students were many and so prominent. Whatever, we do as a teacher it has many good reflection in the life of each student. Since, teachers are considered as a role model, idol and best point of references and source of learning.

More than any, we had many special items – chicken, emadatsi (Bhutanese dishes prepared from chilli and cheese), mushroom curry and dal. Out of all, one of the very loved and distinct items on our night menu was shelrotii (item blended out from flour, sugar, clover, baking powder etc...)

After having done with the entertainment programs, we had dinner together. I must state, dinner that really marked our final togetherness. It’s a rare chance we get into such gatherings. By knowing it’s the final time we ate, shared each other’s feelings and promised to be a good human being.

The reactions clearly indicated our dinner seemed to be so special. So, with all the night programs, we had finally adieu good night wishes to each other. Perhaps, such night will never come back again with same face, same time, same charm, same items, same place, same greetings and same wishes. Thank you all for the dinner…

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.

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 ...
