Indian PM Shri Narendra Modi on Bhutanese Soil for Second Time


Bhutan has experienced 17th and 18th of August not only as the diplomatic visit of Indian PM Shri Nadredra Modi but more importantly India as a faithful partner. The visit by Shri Modi seems something very special and Extraordinary about the age old relationship between two countries and Bhutan's diplomatic ties with India and Indians. In fact, India is everything and everywhere for Bhutan and Bhutanese. Since, almost every nuts and bolts comes are Indian made and therefore, we must value India as one of the very sincere developmental partners of Bhutan. 

However, there is room for improvement for two countries. Any developmental activities two countries undertake to operate like Hydro-power, construction sector, agriculture and education. Whatever, we must plan it properly, mindfully, and appropriately so that we don't need to share the burden hopelessly and one lopsidedly. 

The two-day state visit of Indian PM was seen as a very successful one with formally inaugurating the Mangduechhu Hydro-power Project, Trongsa (MHPA), inside the century old Simotokha Dzong. With signing of documents, Modi's government has assured many beautiful dreams for two countries with MHPA generating huge revenue for both India and Bhutan. However, I hope hydro-power loans remain least active and silent inside Simtokha Dzong under the feet of Zhabdrung. 

I am quite sure Shri Modi would have experienced not only a good sum of Bhutanese culture and tradition, heavy greetings and warm hospitality, style and uniqueness but also official Bhutanese food with the Great Fourth, His Majesty the King, the Queen, Royal families and other dignitaries. 

Like Zhabdrung, I just hope that India respects Bhutan's sovereignty as Shri Modi imbibes valuable lessons from Zhabdrung's blessing from the secret room of Bhutan's Capital. 

I pray for long and stable friendship to remain ever between two countries not only for Modi's government but for eternal. 

Hai Hind India! Long Live India! and Modi's government!

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. On the contrary, a little effort on your part will be much more effective than a great deal of eff...

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 ...
