Breaking the Taboo

Is menstruation unnatural phenomenon? Do you think is it a sin?   Menstruation is a biological process that occurs in woman's body every month. So, it's not a strange thing nor an unusual topic to discuss about it openly.  Thus, to mark the end of this taboo in our society and schools across the country, 28 th  May of every year is celebrated as a menstrual hygiene day. It is not only to educate and empower our women and girls on importance of menstrual hygiene but also to respect their well-being. The move initiated by schools is a hats up program basically to benefit women and girls, and to extirpate the poor mentality of our men and boys towards woman's monthly period. Its more of an educative program for both men and women.  Back in my school days and even today, I see headache and side pain to be the most common lie used by schoolgirls to escape the monthly period fear. They even show many nonverbal gesture of pain and despair to express thei...

I Hate Tuesdays

Tomorrow is yet again Tuesday. I wish Tuesday to be made in China. I abhor Tuesday for no great reasons though. But I hate it overly since I have to meet nugatory and obnoxious demands. Tomorrow is yet again Tuesday. My God! I have to set my alarm clock at 5 AM sharp. I have to wake up before anyone. I have my morning study duty. When everyone are still having their morning sleep, I have to leave home to chase some resentful half–awaken boys and girls to their classes. I hate to do this one sided old–fashioned study culture. I feel there shouldn't be any tabled study hours for students in school. They are not a robot nor I am. School should be free of such hectic and unmerited system. School should be a place where every kids loves to come and enjoy their day with their friends and teachers. School has to be a place more than a home. School should have a stress free learning environment. But do we have all these luxury at our schools?  Why  Hell–Volhar...

His Majesty's Foolish man's Story gift

His Majesty with Prince Jigme Namgyal Wangchuck His Majesty interacting with old granny. One of my all time favorite picture. It was mid–year of 2014, I last saw His Majesty in person when he visited Zhemgang. He is known as people's king. He is always kind and generous for elderly people. He is the most handsome and most admired king in the world today. Anywhere he visit, he never misses to meet students and teachers. For which he believes the future of the country lies in their hands. In the school MPH, I along with hundreds of students and staff have listened to a story of a foolish man His Majesty shared from the book –"w hat I wish I knew when I was 20. "  The story was about a young college student who wishes to win a game of lottery. So, that he can resign early from his job to start up his own business. He can become rich, powerful and a successful person with big house, luxurious car and educate his children well. Therefor...

The story of Condom Vending Machine of Zhemgang.

Condom is a thin rubber device worn on a man's penis during sexual intercourse as a contraceptive or as a protection wall against infection. With condom vending machine in place around the town –now some naughty friends can have the luxury of condom almost for free. It cost Nu.5 per service and you can have three-piece of strong and fresh plastic boy in less than a minute in your pocket. The service operate for 24/7 and the choices is all yours.  Unlike other health services and facilities, condom vending machine did not come for free. Which means health is important and precious. But, getting your share isn't very difficult and expensive. The service is extremely affordable. Use of condom not only prevents STIs but also prevent teenage pregnancy. For those naughty friends the service will, therefore be spontaneous at your best. However, I fear how responsibly the service are being used and operating. Perhaps, going by strict calculation...
