The Talking Mountain

Capturing Osama Bin Lhaden had been the main objective of the United States of America since the presidency of Bill Clinton. After the vigorous search he was finally captured and killed brutally by American soldiers. Anyway, the history was made. But, this is not what I wanted to write here.  I wanted to share two pertinent concerns. First is QUALITY and the second is WORK ETHICS.  Like how ambitiously America have chased and killed Bin Lhaden, we also need to end this war of quality work and work ethics.

On the upswing of ball freezing temperature, this November month is crazy in many ways. In the eve of Birth Anniversary of Fourth Druk Gyalpo, government has announced a huge reduction of the price of petrol and diesel. The prerogative was clear to commemorate the Birth Anniversary of His Majesty. But, I feel this is honestly not the right way to celebrate King's birthday. How a government can float the price of any commodities that is below the actual imported price? According to some media outlet, India revise the prices of petrol and diesel on daily basis.
