The Chalk and the Dust!

Who is a teacher?

This is something we need to know very closely as an individual, because there isn’t anybody who is comparable to a teacher, a world maker and a mind architect.

The literary meanings for a teacher is 'a person whose job is teaching, especially in school'. Isn’t this ironic when nobody values teacher even though they have great powers of persuasion to change this world.

I believe, teacher are someone who hauls the forms of the chalk into dust and finally turns it into gold. They are the only super hero, north-star and the one who always sinks in the pool of chalk-dust for the sake of world and to change empty brain but it never happens the way it should happen.    

With advent in technology, teacher are valued less in the society. Our student thinks that technology alone can help them learn entire syllabus. They think that all learning comes in total package with good mobile phone with 3G network coverage. Our youth aspires only for easy and royal road to cross-over learning and that is how our general public draw a conclusion on education being deteriorating over time.  These days hardcore practice of learning has lost completely and the phase of education is becoming ugly.  

Honestly, many students thinks coming to school and learning is all for their parents and teachers. For many, school is a hard place to live in since learning has become a burden. I have seen many lost in the memory of social media. So, with this low thinking for education how can we produce scientist? Because education system in our country is as old as education in other nation. What we are learning at school is as same as what other nation are learning. The only differences is how we view the power of education and take learning a priority.

Our youth likes more of sedentary lifestyle rather than gaining a good packet of education. They are more concern about what kinds of dress or mobile phone they should possess than what kinds of education they should have when they become independent. Although this part of life is equally important yet more important is they should have more greed for education. After all it makes life and living altogether.

As I have seen that the value of coming to school and learning is simply happening for the sake of happening. Teachers are paid monthly salary to perform their job. All the students are provided free education still we could see education is not taking rightly in the heart of our Youth.

The primary job of a teacher is to teach, educate, guide and nurture yet we see them working beyond what they are assigned to work. We see teachers are working like a cart, politicians, coach, friends, parents and counsellor yet we see no change happening.  These days teacher's presence in school is felt as a burden and right to freedom is lost. They see teachers as their immediate enemy, they feel school as cage and they feel rules as penalty. But to the end, everyone wants to crown with success. I must say this is the big challenge we are facing in our education field.

If we want a change, scientists and have great thinkers, let's start to respect the chalk, the dust and the teacher because education comes only at the cost of these many individual sacrifice.

Bhutan emerging as a centre for trafficking

source: google
With development at hand the frequent human trafficking; flesh trading, kidnappings and child laborers are becoming a national concern and to many it had created a sense of impending doom simply.

Our country had already became over exposed to ill-minded dealers around because government of the day is not looking into this matters seriously.  I could see there are still huge lapses un-turned, which need to be address soon else we're heading into more vulnerable state. 

With increasing population we're heading into more delicate society, it is a sign of harmony being slowing disappearing from human mind. This kind of battle has been going on around for unknown generation and it would continue if we do not work for it now. Moreover, it also has more impact than a war, crisis and nuclear weapons as it keeps behind ill-waves in human minds.

The country's development and unlawful activity are like double salts, it never works independently.  But, does it mean that everyone has to experience this sufferings and the pain? 

What we've seen today is not as what we've stated decade before as a promise land, as a safe and a happy nation. Nevertheless, looking at the present scenario and the threatening interceptions we're pushing into more danger and extremely vulnerable society for 'a small Country' like ours. 

And one is the recent abdication case which has put more fear and burdens on the people residing in southern belt. These days our own land had become 'a land of enemy'. The frequent kidnapping cases in boarder areas has really shocked our nations on, 'who is behind this activity and why is it happening again and again?     

But it is happy news for Bhutan as, 'United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime' has come up with other concern agencies like Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) to strengthen the border areas with India more professionally.

As stated by 'The Times of India, Kolkota'.

The workshop on the common issues was conducted with SSB and concern officials form Bhutan at Siliguri to sensitize on human trafficking and smuggling cases across India-Bhutan boarder. They highlighted on the issues becoming more rampant with increased number of population on human trafficking across boarder areas. Many boys and girls are trafficked across Bhutan to India. The current survey also stated that, countless young girls across boarder areas were forced to work for flesh trade business.


They have also stressed on having effective interviewing skills and interrogation techniques to be in place to identify woman or child being trafficked across the border town. They've pointed out the need of passports and strengthen laws on vehicles crossing boarder areas into either country for any purposes.

Another Deadlock

Was it an accident or intentional one or under the power of drug? The God only can tell the truth behind the demise of a fifteen year old Indian student from the hand of a fifteen year old Bhutanese student studying in Darjeeling.

For our people taking away someone’s life has become a practice. Indeed, this murder case had immensely surprised me but it’s nothing new.

For this little boy what future gave him was not more than 'a criminal soul and a goofy future'. Even after rigorous analysis I wasn't convinced why it is necessary to take away someone's life. There are always better ways to solve problems.

With just around seven hundred thousand population, the place is becoming worst day by day. We can’t imagine, what future lies ahead of us as a Bhutanese today because murder, rape and robbery just are so rampant and common.  

What actually is going wrong in our youth – is it the education system and the mind-set?

When 15 years old boy can do such a big crime openly we can't imagine on what future will give us the next day.

Perhaps, I wasn't surprised to see this news because when as young as few months old baby got raped, why can't this happen? I was thoughtful on why we are embossed upon crime and violence when the country is still graded as one of the least developed country, economy still in countable notes and people still in longstanding century. 

Just few days back we were overwhelmed and engulfed with good news of the successful birth of our Sixth King and now we are sadden with unexpected news of '15 years old boy behind big crime' which is a national concern.

Lately, I don't wanted to become a parent for all of these reasons because one day it could be my child playing the same game. To whom shall I denounce - to culture, mindset or education system?

But, as a student to university graduate and to an educator, I know there isn't any books, any teachers, any friends and any parents who teach on criminalities. Even as a Buddhist nation it is also against our culture and daily norms yet we see increase numbers of people going for all this activity.

When I was a little boy, my grand-father used to say me many foretold augury of today and I could see every nook going the way it was stated. Although, he isn't any great personality like 'Albert Einstein', who gave the idea of 'Gravity'. But for he was as great as Einstein since he'd given me a real future.
