What COVID-19 did ?

This COVID-19 has shaken the world shaken in so many ways. The World Economy disrupted very badly. Thus, it did not even spare a very tiny and isolated nation –BHUTAN! 

However, for us the much alarming fear came only after confirming the country's first COVID-19 case in a 76-year old American guy who came via India tested positive for the disease? The good news was that the impact was felt and the different contingency plans were immediately drawn before the virus spread -beyond. Nevertheless, more hoax was the fear of death and not this Naughty Virus.

1.     There is no room for complacent and easy-going in this war, which we are actually good at. 

1.     Bhutanese poor hand washing habit was greatly enhanced at least for this time. In fact, hand washing can save the spread of so many germs that cause different diseases. Thus, hand washing before and after meals, visiting the washroom, touching animals and other unhygienic places are as important and necessary as always to keep us healthy and fit.

2.     We have learnt about the importance of hand sanitisers. What can it do? Maybe for the first time, we have got mass non-classroom lessons but it was an absolutely impactful and lasting one. I wish the same could happen for our WASTE MANAGEMENT. I pray for another deadliest virus for poor waste management! 

3.     It is a chance for all of us to know the basics of viruses and bacteria, and it's impact. We could at least know that the virus is not alone.

4.     It's a great lesson for our politicians and government to have a good and resilient contingency plan in place for such a huge disaster. Proper distribution of budgets was also felt this time in such an emergency situation. Often I fall in love with this simple yet meaningful quote –"The best way to predict the future is to create it." 

5.     It is a chance for all of us to keep oneself healthy and hygienic by eating healthy food and not panicking. Nothing can, and nothing shall bar the way, whatever maybe the world situation. After all, life has to go on. 

6.     It is a great opportunity for individuals to showcase their commitment to come together and serve The King, Country and People with Tha Damtshiand utmost dedication. Because at the end of the day we are one integral part of a happy family under One King and One Government. 

Note***COVID-19 has crushed everything –especially economy but everything was in fact built by human beings, so there is nothing much to worry about this break-down.

However, more dangerous was with the increasing Fake Account holders spreading fake news and information, that may put many into unnecessary accounts. Things like Mouth Masks and the myth of Alcohol curing this disease are getting much attention, which basically are min-interpreted by many around the world. Happily some may become drunkard with untrue information.

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 ...
