‘Good Luck in Your Exam’--- All Tens and Twelves



Source: Google


Perhaps, commonly seen and send message for exam time made me texture my school days. "All the best of luck in your exam and do well" is the small token sent to wish friends and students in school. Although, it is very humble. But, it has power to give anyone the infinite courage, strength and power to do well.

Now a day; it has become the approach of life. ‘Yes’ - wishing a friends and students has become a culture, a rule in schools.

It has been said that the true self-motivation behind this present days of mankind, is all through this roads. In exam message there is undoubtedly many elements like - truth, trust and inspiration. 

Dear students – 

“Today, I stand in front of you all just to wish – “best of luck in your exam”. Since, for you this exam is different than any other exams because this would fetch you into  your life biggest decision.  In deed- at certain point you might confront with hard questions but you can do it as I have seen you working harder than any other days. Just have faith in God and don’t believe in false promises”. 

I think the sole reasons of this reminder would best feel by one who can realize exam binds and brings home the sources of happiness, earning and so... for living, 'a total living'.

Nevertheless, for  the exam, if someone receives - "do well in your exam" message from - dear one, or friends or teacher, the happiness that one felt cannot be measured simply, not even with the famous principle.

Of late – once again, I wanted to wish all class ‘ten’ and ‘twelve’ students a very best of luck in your board exam. I can proudly stand in front of you all with great anticipations and putting God by your side to help you in need. 

"My world has been best defined by some messages and so does everyone around". 

Thank you

Champion Class Of The Year – 2014

Should I say – are we done with the resolution we made in the beginning? – Of-course, 'yes'.

Well, this is my second year of teaching service in zhemgang higher secondary school soon after RCSC appointed me in 2013.

Truly for me - this place is heaven on earth and a pioneering plat form, where I got to learn valuable lessons – first to learn then to teach, encountering senior friends well experienced on the field, meeting smart and encouraging students each year, writing when I go into extraordinary state - since, I believe, writing is all about energy, thinking, patience and so on…

Perhaps, at this moment - I’m extremely happy to be blessed with smart and hardworking students (Class XII Science A students).

Thus, in the very beginning of the year – class XII science A and I’d genuinely taken a sincere oath to do best work in all areas (both academics and non-academics) and we’d as we've promised and said. We didn't let go any work un-attended and un-turned.

And for this, we’re well bequeathed and rewarded as – "CHAMPION class of the year 2014".

Perhaps, I must state that this is a real sign of encouragement to all of us. It really moved our thoughts to work even better and harder hereafter. It clearly showed that – “hard work never goes in vain and un-paid”. I must say, there are different ways to access hard work - and anyhow? and this is truly one area in school to further encourage our students to be a better people.  So, today with broader smile - I can proudly say nothing is IMPOSSIBLE. 

Sincerely, I wanted to THANK all my dear students for making our big dream come true, school management for considering our selfless hard work throughout the year, assessment committee for well assessing our daily works and finally myself for working equally with my students.  

Nevertheless, thank you everyone for making and recognizing class 12 A as the champion class of the year and making a grand successful -2014

Final words

Dear students,                                                                                      25th November, 2014
Perhaps! we all are sad because soon you all would be leaving us behind. I am here to offer you last advice and experiences on behalf of all staffs and your juniors. I wanted you to know that, you all are very smart and intelligent human being and each one of you is completely capable of succeeding your listed dreams. 
I wanted to tell you the fact of school. Why school is important? Most of would tell you- school is a place to learn and do well in exams, learn math, English, Dzongkha and so on…but, this is not so close. They are all important and true. But, it is not why school is important?
School is important because it is a place where you can learn how to deal with harshness of life when it gets difficult on how to overcome obstacles such as – irritating classmate and demanding teachers. It is a place where you can learn how to ask for help when you have your doubt and push yourself forward.
It is your responsibilities to overcome all of these problems and that can prepare your life ahead of you. Just have faith in me, school’s life is not so challenging. But, I am sure the greater challenges are not yet started.
But, you shouldn’t be worrying about all these facts of life in future, because school is a place where you can learn how to overcome life obstacles. Many a times - I had sleepless night worrying about you all since, I see so many of you giving up and not having faith in your ability. I saw you care-free with life and not having faith in your teachers. Whether you are a top or bottom student is not important. I tell you - the most important is you take charge of your own ability trusting yourself more than anyone to you. And that is just enough.
Start believing in your own ability, brain and understand - that sometimes the short-term pain crafts long-term happiness. I am sure - all those great people in their life would have made greater sacrifices than you all did so far.
                                             "sometimes the short-term pain 
                                                      crafts long-term happiness"
I can tell you all - the marks you get on each exams or ranking top is not important. But, I am not trying to tell you all - it’s useless attending school and obtaining good marks. Here, my point is - how you handle your life, rank more important?. So, becoming self-independent is what needed the most soon after school days. And that is what school and each teacher teaches you till these days.
So long life proceeds, you have to face the challenges and the decision ahead of you each day. So, as long as you all are in our life, we would not let you go empty, quit your life in education. We would have demanded you many things, confronted you, pushed you and challenged you each day. But, if you all stop for a while and think properly - our deeds is just for your resulting survival. We won’t mind if you ignore us in many, and that doesn’t matter to us much.
Our good wishes and regards will always be there along with your everyday breadth. We would always have a warm smile and a wider heart to encourage and push you ahead because each one of you is worth much humane for us.
I am sure at this time of the year - you all might be feeling happy because you all are in the verge of completing your high school days, but more important than this is the next greater and stiffer challenges still to come your way. So, for your future life - we teachers, staffs and juniors will always put God by your side to help you with each defy you face every seconds of life.  
Lastly, I wanted to leave you all with this note. – “Just believe in yourself as long as we believe in you”. 

Thank you with regards and wishes.
(Sancha Bdr rai, chemistry educator)

An empty lie

Source: Google
My grand-parents told me - my parents were died in a car accident. I was then survived by them. When inquired on the accident, only they know was over-speeding’. Thus, this is the end of story. 

I was a boy.  I always assured myself not so loved child like others. But, truly I thanked them for replacing my biological parents. So, hopefully their un-ending love and care towards me all these days would remain as far as my life continues.  ‘Their love truly means so much for my survival’

When I could realize – I was already attending high school. I always wanted to find the real lost of my parents. Perhaps, over-speeding alone is not the end. - "Because they are my life, source of living today. They mean my world more than anybody else".

Then, slowly I started to find the real demised of my parents. Yes, I must call this a - "lost always and I know to any best effort I won’t get back my parents". But, still I am determined to find the real police officer who had moved the case.

One day – when I was passing the small pan shop. I over-heard people talking about the car incident.  "Car accident" - Perhaps, it was the old accident. I was then moved by many mixed thoughts of my parent’s mishap. I stopped and pretended to buy a newspaper from the same shop. For a while, the talk has dropped. After buying the paper - I walked few steps away and I started to read. To my surprise, again I overheard same people continuing the same talk. I had listened to them more anxiously than any other talk in my life.  

It isn’t much fun listening all alone and the talked was not so agreeable then. So, by now - I could clearly visualize the clear incidents that had occurred thirteen years before.  Truly, the whole story came down to me from two aunties. - Thank you un-known aunties.

By now, I was sick of over-hearing all those incidences. So, I bowed back and inquired cleverly few questions to those two aunties. Aunties of late forties told me the entire story. – As far as they know, the accident occurred due to carelessness of a police officer. Hence, I must claim, ‘story inside-out’.

Now to me, the outside world has become just a matter of object. Since, I don’t have anybody whom I can rely on except my grand-parents and the two aunties.

Since, I am the person who believes in integrity. So, I was totally moved by the thoughts to find the real police officer that night.

Thus, saddest of all is, I am not running out of my life – called it a dream. Perhaps, if you could believe I was wondering in my false dream. So, this is how I could describe the story of non-existence.

Time to harvest

Much awaited count-down has finally come to its ending – ending with honours. Time to reap what one had seeded throughout the year. It’s nothing less than measuring each subject more wisely. And it is decided by so call EXAM.

It is not un-usual happenings for schools and students all over the globe. Since, exam is something that comes and goes always. But, one thing is certain that - its outcome would remain behind for all times. “Whether one to remain in the same grade or promoted to higher grade”. And it totally lies in the hand of individuals.

Exam really administers ones performance and understanding level of different subjects learned as a student. Moreover - year-end exam decides passed or failed merit. "I must say merit for change".

If one fails then, work of 365 days would go much in futile and that is the time one needed to rewind the clock more watchfully.

At the same time, failing an exam would lay down many things – one not being close with the subject, less focuses while teaching, valued less for learning and many more...

‘17- 11 to 27-11- 2014’ is the busiest and the loaded deadline for ZHSS- nine and eleven students. Time to harvest - what they have sown whole year. So, simply moved by the concept of examination, I wish them a – “Good luck” for all the papers because it assures their whole year’s labor”. Thus, what I can say is- their answers would best judge their ways either to happy or to sad endings.

2014 - I owe you the most

This year is like no other years in my life. I can’t recall every bits and pieces of happenings. But, I could remember some events for certain reasons. In a way, some of the events had taught me prudent lesson and some have disappointed me. While, few still on the progress.

2014. I am proud to declare – 
it’s my second year into teaching and learning world.

So this year - I was fully loaded with lots of task. Class-teacher cum subject tutor for science students. Remembering their names and dealing with different behaviors is yet another challenge I have faced. We have respected each other and learned all together. We understood each other’s problems; we have learned new knowledge putting it midst. ‘We stand for each other is our motto’. 

Indeed, this year has spread my wings into writing world.  While, that can best reflect my nature. In a way, I may not be forgotten.  Finally, I made my dream come true and made a lasting story.

Vividly, I could recall the month of June because I was short-listed for master course which I have applied for. Then, I was called for the interview. The interview was over with scarce hope for getting. And, sad to state - I was not selected for it. Thanks to panel members who had patiently tested my knowledge and passing me needful remarks. While, I am thinking to do better next time is my new assurance.

Fete day – the other unique events happened with lots of fun and in un-forgettable ways. It was probably the first of its kind in the school. I have learned great lessons by it. I must say it did not disappoint me rather it had perfected some of my skills.

Finally, the year is coming to its departure with fun and fun. Today, I stand proud as, I had learnt much knowledge and it would remain forever with me.

This year would remain dynamic and un-forgettable moment throughout and hoping to see the same in coming years.

Bye bye 2014….and welcome coming 2015 with un-discovered fun fun fun…
