The Gyalsey: The future of Bhutan


Gongsar Ugyen Wangchuck is the son of Desi Jigme Namgyal. He laid the foundation of Wangchuck Dynasty on 17th, December 1907 after bulldozing the last chanced battles that culminated at Changlimethang to the ashes. He was best known for his muscular strength, courage and intellectual ability from his early age while he was serving at his father's office.  

We came long way through thick and thin journey lead by our visionary Monarchs without much external threats so far. Till today we can proudly stand to say that we have our own land and our own national identity. Had it been the other ruler, Bhutan would have been different. The royal focused would have been for –GDP over GNH.

Bhutan has made yet another bigger milestone on 5th, February 2016 with the birth of our Royal Prince (to be the sixth King of Bhutan), Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck at Lingkana Palace. 

On February 9, the lunar New Year (losar) for Bhutanese, His Majesty have announced that the Royal Prince is the son of every Bhutanese, and he would be the true son of Pelden Drukpa. The big surprise came when His Majesty have assured that he would be brought up in a Bhutanese way. He would be well trained to serve the future of Bhutan by King himself. When he turn 6, he would go to school along with other children, and it is the moment of joy and happiness for all of us. 

5th, February of 2016 have become more than just a date on Bhutanese calendar. The future of Bhutan was made. 

While on his Royal outing he made several –home and abroad high headlines. Nevertheless, our Royal Prince, the Gyalsey is the most loved and admired child in the entire kingdom. He is not only the most popular child in Bhutan but also around the world.

I feel so lucky in many ways to be born in a very spiritual country ruled by our visionary kings, and I would love to happily work under our Gyalsey somewhere someday. I also would love to grow old along with our Royal Prince, the Gyalsey. 

Like your 3x great–grandfather, may you become bold, courageous and intelligent to lead nation towards more secure, stronger and vibrant country. Like your father, the Great Fifth may you become tall and handsome.  

May your dream always come true? May you always live happy? May you always live long? May you always remain healthy? May you always shine like a diamond? May your wishes come true? May you always protect us? May you always remain forever young?

Long live their majesties, long live HRH, the Gyalsey!

Iron Lady of India dies at 68.

It was neither a good news to millions of Tamilian nor to the parliament house. But, she will continue to remain one of the most influential person in politics and in the film industries. Perhaps, she became more than the goddess of Tamil Nadu politics. She has been a greatest asset to her country in her best pursuit. The women who has ruled India more like 'Gandhian Philosophy.'   Jayalalithaa jee She has done every preeminent possible ways to bring massive changes in the life of millions of people and uplifted the Indian society than any other women. She had worked so hard, she had risk every bits of her life just for the benefit of all the Indians because of which she had gained a huge popularity amongst the other leaders. She was popularly known as an ‘ Iron Lady ’ for being tough and firm in her action and ‘ Amma ’ for acting more than a mother for millions of homeless and to the needy ones.’   The best part I have seen throughout her political regime and fil

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.

Goodbye Beloved Teachers

When life has thousands reasons to walk and live, I've thousands different ways to spend my coming holidays. So, does you all my ‘teacher-colleagues’ I've been working so hard for nearly, 280 days round the clock in, educating different lives with different wants, likes and ages. Honestly, I've been so busy and fully occupied for countless hours of teachings, correcting exam papers, assessing note books etc… – and that is called the life of a ‘every tangible teachers’. As a teacher/educator, almost every time - life goes beyond teaching and correcting exam papers. As, we need to engage our students into various fields of learning – going for extra classes, attending club activities, prayers, co-curricular activities, literary activities, cultural programs and so on…and this is the life of each teacher behind the screen. Yet, we get lots of blame starting from the people of highest rank to the lowest. In Bhutan, now a day in the name of suicide case, educa
