As said 'early
bird catches the worm' so is this mountains scene.
In fact, this is
truly a morning bout I had.
The quiet and the patience mountain sides
dipped inside the sea of the brisk morning
light
that catches my eyes and the lens so
dearly.
In the midst of onset winter
these mountains would be inside
thick blanket of snow.
Perhaps, if we can open early as possible
there isn't doubt for such solicitous
scene.
So, endurance is what we should have in

As Simple As This...
Continuation to Dangkhar Community Lodge...
| source:google |
Honestly, how many of us have planned honeymoon, holiday trips and pilgrimage
destination within Bhutan?
So, before landscape
and the beauty of the land comes into our mind we start to dream, plan, think
and look for a panoramic view of other countries, without realizing our own country's potential. Here in Bhutan, we've already
some of the untouched, unreasoned and unseen places that no other land has today. Here
we've some of the very original or natural ancient monuments and precious gems which no other
country possesses. But, still why we planned for holiday trips and
honeymoon destination outside?
What if we can plan
a holiday trips, a pilgrim in some of the secret and most holy places here rather than looking for short term happiness outside, where there is already a high risk of
getting into trouble and being hacked.
Perhaps, planning leisure destination some where within, one can save huge sum, it is far safer
and securer and it can save time and energy.
Although, we can see
and experience world's most magnificent products, world's highest buildings,
luxurious car, famous film stars, world class cinema hall and most delicious
food outside Bhutan but we can never experience peace and security that we've like today in our own land.
When so many
outsiders or foreigners plan trips into Bhutan, why can't we planned and try
a pilgrim, holiday trips and honeymoon in our own country.
Perhaps, along with dreaming and planning we should also think for cleaner and fresher air to breath and environmental cost for future generations.

Dangkhar Community Lodge
Zhemgang, to most people appears to be unknown and one of
the most under-developed Dzongkhag in Bhutan, but if one pay a visit and see
around one would undeniably find so many beautiful and un-touched souvenirs.
Although, Zhemgang is being considered as one of the remote
place yet it has its own uniqueness in culture and tradition. It is culturally
preserved and traditionally rich in every aspect.
Once if you are in Zhemgang you would indeed texture better
and purer air, fresh water with high mineral content, unique landscape and the
serene and a composed nature with rich diverse animals and plants.
Perhaps, this is particularly 'a best' Zhemgang can offer
to anyone who feels like to experience the differences that no other land can
offer.
Note: Anyone can book this well preserved, traditional lodge that belongs to Dangkhar Community; it's approximately 2.0 km away from Zhemgang Town.

Digital Confusion
It seems to me that these
two worlds of mine represents extreme in many ways, 'extreme individualism and
preservation of extreme societal norms'.
So, I belong to
extreme individualism of social networking era and my parents sphere to other
side of extreme societal norms and culture. The world has changed so much and
so fast because of many smart minds but to more and more confusion.
In the midst of
changing, my parents have seen both the world so clearly, sometime they narrate
me some of the uniqueness they've during their times and some rapid changes
ensued today into unbelievable level.
Honestly, my parents
know very less of modern world – mobile phone, computer, robot etc, etc. Since,
during their times there isn't any digital facilities like today because of
which they know very, very less of it yet they feels satisfied and contented with the life. They know only on how to make a call
that too through looking at some inbuilt picture set against the name.
The usage of mobile
phone and being in digital world is what I finds the most waste of time and resources. It
brings so many mixed reactions, feelings, put into a lower bracket income but
necessity is a very unavoidable scene that is putting us into pressure.
I feel my parent's
time was far better and prudent since digital items today has created
unnecessary commotion and junk in the family, husband and wife, friends and
bosses. My parent's 'black and white world' is extreme superior since they need
not have to worry about the money for upcoming new gadgets, no unnecessary
spending on mobile voucher and the other levied cost.
Today, because of so
many technological items there isn't any peace, spare of time for family
members or parents, husband and wife, child or baby, friends and society. All
the time and sense is lost in the world of digits, social networking sites and
others.
The clear periphery
of individualism I've seen is during family gathering or social gathering,
everyone into own business, lost and futile world. I've seen few into serious
television world, some into social networking, gaming and only very few like
our parents into real social sharing. So, through this culture how can we
uphold sincerity and peace in family, husband and wife? So, this is the point
where divorce rates top the list, children into drug world and parents die off
un-cared diseases.
Today, I supposed to
have most desirous and complicated phone and the next moment yet more urbane
and complex coming in the market. So, with the change we needed to update and
upgrade else we'll become bullshit. If we go along with this newer version of
change we can't afford. Therefore, I've little worry on what shares of values
and wealth we can pass down to younger generations.
Today, as I see the
advancement in technology is far beyond anything, simplest to most
sophisticated. Now nothing can defeat the growth and substitute the usage of
these items. Perhaps, today we cannot live without these items in hands and at
the same time it brings so much complication in financial and relations crisis
yet we cannot avoid or else there won't be any world for us, will become
handicap of the time but the growth is becoming difficult and dense with the
digital world, which to hold, which to look and which to concentrate. Although,
we needed to change and accommodate but the survival is becoming weak, the
trust in the relation is becoming very fragile, delicate and at risk.
My mother's black and
white phone is distant better, cheaper, wiser, comfortable and cost cutting one.
Is it possible for my parents to gift with new touch screen mobile phone over
that decent black and white phone or shall I quite on the idea? But, the
question is do they really know how to make a call and use its latest apps?
What appeals to me
most strongly about my parent's time is that their daily life is more peaceful
and healthier. The feelings of insecurity and belongingness wasn't there, the
values and trust for each other is so much intact for ages but had lost its
essences too far than ever nowadays.
But, it is also
better in some ways, it is faster, cheaper and safer mode of reaching some
important and necessary messages without having much travel that needed to
reach within few hours. I see advantages of these latest technological
items if used responsibly and lawfully. It has changed the level of thinking to
more negative and mistrust utterly there come so much impatient, aggressive,
cynical, ironic smiles and beams from each other.
At this time even if
we act least bothered it's not going to work and both the way is not enough.
I've big stake in this yet it is unavoidable weapons in twenty first century
My only last hope is
to catch hold of a decent mobile phone that can just give me the right services
for calling and messaging during needs. I'll wait and
see what it will bring and it has to offer me rightly and justly. Perhaps,
mobile phones which do not have any net supporting apps and not even the games.
'How is my new idea on black and white phone'?

Fate Of a Teacher II
Remember: "If education fails, everything will fail and if education
succeeds nothing will fail".
Reiterating this phrase, I will make a brief and decisive elucidation on
the type of education system and our parent's notion towards our teacher.
Today we are in a beautiful, comfortable, luxurious
and compact world. Perhaps, it’s the collective and pooled ideas of our inordinate
people, viz. experts, pilot, doctors, philosophers, scientists, engineers,
lawyers, politician/law makers, accountant, guard and the officers.
Where did these people or the post come from
or did they come down from so called as heaven or rise-up from the abyss?
All the profession, be it expert or a simple
guard, the sole author are our books, pen and the teachers. Teaching profession
is much like a debugger system for human society. They find errors, they beat
us, they talk harsh, they put us in difficult situations, they punish us, they
questions us, they criticize us but they never fail to teach us right lessons,
they never fail to love and care us that is necessary for life existence.
So, knowingly we put back what is so essential
for us to grow. We know that every comfort of life comes over the toil of
education and teachers yet we never mind to questions, sue and blame them.
If engineers fail to design correct building
drawings, it leads to definite collapsing of building and the uncertainty of
structure is multiplied to thousand greater folds. If doctors fail to operate
or prescribe wrong medicine it leads to dying of one soul and so on with other
professions but look at the profession of our teacher, it looks or appears
simple, less puzzling and less confusing yet their effect is enough to cost for
many, many generations. If teachers fail to teach rightly without rebuff the whole
nations will fail to become responsible citizens, no new discovery will take
place and world will going to face series of baneful scene without the mention
of education.
Today, through the advancement of ideas we
could see world in smallest piece, finest discoveries, super machines, robot
and other invisible innovations. How is it possible? Well, the full acclaim
goes to our teachers. Hence, their sacrifice and suffering is beyond count. Then,
our teacher should be placed on the top position in human society and deserves
to be called as finest human.
But, rather we find our parents simply
demanding to have best performance of their child, their child into big job
without any bit of support and right moral. This kind of wave has been there
for so long, so deeply rooted in the heart of our parents but better would be
if worked together with our teachers in educating Youth and their child.
Nonetheless, what type of education and
values, types of generation we wanted to see twenty years from now utterly lies
today in the hands of our school teachers and in the hands of individual parents.
Let’s never say it’s enough for educating our child and Youth otherwise we will
fail as a whole nation.
Rather than pointing fingers and blaming education
system for not doing enough justice, what if individual parents come forth, work
equally and shoulder some heart changing roles like our teacher for the right education
of our child and our Youth.
I feel nostalgic, looking at the life of each
teacher, as if that they have done something wrong dreadfully in their whole
life. I cannot easily stand and shake their feeling of dread which they are
supposed to be the dynamite in the society.
They teach the world, they teach every essential
skill for life. So, shall we demand separate democracy for their right, for our
school teachers? Shall we?
