This past one week I have
been constantly watching bbs Television just to be on the toe of latest
happenings. But, to my surprise, almost all the news fed were neither
informative nor educational, many were unmannered except for few road network
connectivity for commuters due to recent heavy downpour.
All the coverage were,
"15 nabbed for smoking in public areas, Druk PNB ATM teller accused of
siphoned Nu. 10M, 54 years-old man gets 17 years in jail for raping a minor,
etc."
What is happening to GNH country?
Yesterday's headline on, 'Aspiring
taxi drivers may have to face an interview.' have captured my
attention the most. The content of the news has really alerted and touched my
nerve, although I am not making life out from gearing taxi string. I feel their
feelings.
Though, I fear for sharing
my opinion on this agenda, but it's my long term frank opinion. The three most
hatred jobs are, 'teacher, taxi driver and police personnel.' I don't
know why people have to hate these profession so much.
Is there anyone who don't take a taxi drive? Is there anyone who don't want to do education, teachers are the inevitable person and the main pillar for the success of education? Is there anyone who don't want law and peace in order and themselves to be well shielded by our police personnel?
Although, the need to sit
for an interview to become a taxi driver has become important due to many
reasons. However, more important is self-consciences. Given a chance anyone can
pass any level of test but this test alone can't define person's integrity,
knowledge and inner self.
As stated by taxi drivers,
"most people look down on their profession today.", "people feel
that those who fail in their duties, as a civil servants, armed personnel or
monks become taxi drivers." How can we determine one flash of interview
alone is enough to determine that person and change the whole mindset of our
society towards taxi driver?
Then, what going wrong with our teaching profession, they have a decent qualification and have taken all kinds of tests and interviews. Yet, we see their profession isn't sailing well in the society today, although many say, 'teaching job is a noble profession.'
Dear taxi drivers of
Bhutan, as you have raised
your voice over the low graded job you are doing in the society for the society
and so does is my job. I am an educator and people have same notion about my
profession too. Don't worry we share the same fate. Not only you and I share
such poor fate. There are our police personnel who have even vilest fate than
ours.
Besides all the hurdles, I
know our teachers will continue to nurture minds, taxi driver’s drive their
passenger home safely and police personnel continue to guard the nation and
uphold laws and justice for all of us. Our country will continue to prosper
better.
Don't forget to Burn and Shine! It won't cost you more.
