Government Considers Buying New Pool Vehicles

I am thoroughly confused on this yet again, why the government liked the concept of pool vehicles ban uplift, when it's already proof that the pool vehicles is not serving its primary duty. It had automatically forced me to scan the whole article on the subject that became obvious for more cost factors inclined. 

The ban for pool vehicles has come for good reasons by last government having researched scrupulously not having much help rather it became a nuisance for many big post holders to drop and pick their school going kids. Moreover, it has been found that the pool vehicles in past years had served as fishing vehicles, going for vegetable markets and partying.

Today, our country is running shot of enough currency reserves and the economy is still in big crisis yet we see government planning to procure some. I am sure pool vehicles in our country will not and will never fulfil its mandates rather it would become more cost fueling factors. 

Who will pay for drivers, maintenance cost, pollution talks, disparity among office goers, fueling and traffic jams for the incoming vehicles, when the country's economy depth is not sound?

I am always a teacher - Lyonpo Norbu Wangchuk

It’s a happy news for ministry of education as a whole. Since, Lyonpo Norbu Wangchuk a passionate educationist to take over the new post as a minister of education after Lyonpo Mingbo Drukpa offered to step down stating some genuine personal problems.

It is always wise to be in the field someone who is close and have better work knowledge. So, with new lyonpo in place we expect to see changes. We believe so much in education being the backbone of the nation to have secure future. But, it's not happening the way it is suppose to happen. It's time for us to stop time and re-think on education wisely. Time for us to plan for better outcome. 

Once our ex-education minister Thakur Singh Powdyel said, ‘if education succeed nothing will going to fail, if education fails nothing will succeed’.


‘He is also aware that education is a long-term investment, the fruits of which will not bear immediately’. Thus, with this let’s pray for safe, valid and valued education system in place for all of us.

The Real Hero

William Carr Crofts who was born at Bradford, Yorkshire in 1846 was an English architect by profession, who was a nature born photographer and a lover of music.

William Carr in action
Photography is a medium in which an artist express his or her feelings just like a love letter to a girl. It is also the means of communication in silence. It usually speaks more than what is merely captured with the artist thoughts.
He was truly a modern master of fine art photography. He has touches and still lives in millions of heart across the world as one of the pioneer in photography. He had given the strong sense of what actually is the art of photography and its essence in all his photographs.

He said, ‘it is the intent of the artist to articulate the world that the subject cannot say in its own voice. It is within nature, that the beauty lies. But, it is the artist who stops time and interprets the gift of beauty for all to enjoy in any fraction of time’.

Unlike others, every images he captured has meanings and can speaks in silence as beings. The most powerful images are the ones that has an element of surprise in them, the one that has total dynamic meanings for every individual while upon looking. Thus, his images are no exception as it stands as one of the most considered classic examples of nature photographs still today in many art museum gallery.  What made him different, unusual and modern was his interpretation of the nature through photographs. Moreover, he had taken always one step further than anyone to understand the beauty of nature.
William Carr's photograph
The way he had captured every single image of nature had made me so close with his photographs. Every time, I catch hold of my camera I think his powerful images that in a way horn my skills to better photography world. While simply clicking some of his photographs made me think that he was born truly to be a great photographers. His skills are inordinate and exceptionally powerful in creating scenic beauty of nature.   

As he had dedicated his life to travel the world and capture images of all kinds, I am thoroughly touched by his patience for photography. Although we can't live up to like him in the field of photography risking and sacrificing every seconds of life but at least we can aspire our self that photographs always speaks in silence and carried bags and bags of meanings in itself.   

Although, 'photography is a rich man’s hobby', but it's not always true. It is not in any kinds that good photographs only comes with expensive gadgets and the lens. But I believe it is all to do with how we think and plan to take a shot. And the other key elements in photography is how we use our own eye lens and the patience to enjoy with nature. 
 
William Carr's waterfall shot
He had travelled the world in the same way as everyone but he had captured the images no one had seen and captured and that made him so rich and unique. As a photographer he only knew how to keep world in lens because there isn’t any great things than so called nature in this world.

William Carr's sunset photograph
Through his art of photography he had respectfully earned the title of last man standing. His main intention of photography is to promote, preserve and respect the beauty of nature forever and ever.

Although, the path of a master is absolutely solitary one. But, my hunt and quest for a photography will never be less either.

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.
