Human Value

Once upon a time there was a king with five wives. One day, he got sick and was on death bed. Afraid of being alone in afterlife. He asked his fifth wife which he loved the most. He bought her diamonds, gold and elegant clothing. He asked her, would you die with me? Would you go with me to the afterlife? The fifth wife replied, I can't do that and walk away. He also loved his fourth wife. He was proud of her and would always show her off to the neighboring kingdoms. He asked the same question to her and he got the same answer. She also said that she will remarry after his death. The third wife was a Fame and asked her if she can go with him afterlife but unfortunately she can accompany him till his last breath.His second wife was always there in in his times of need. He had hope in her and asked her the same thing. She managed to say sorry and promise to arrange his funeral.

People's king

Compassionate king of Bhutan make sure to alleviate the suffering of people by any means he can. The loan deferment, interest waiver, Kidu fund to those who lost job and whose income are affected due to the virus.There is no doubt that he is the people's king and exemplary leader in the world. People of Bhutan should never fail to be true citizen.When our king and the government has a big heart  for the people, we should take every probelm as our own responsibility. Mrs.Sonam Zangmo(langjophakha) never failed her part to  be the true citizen of Bhutan by reducing the 30% of rental. As someone truly said rich are those who possess a rich heart rather than lots of money. Thank you Just my opinion-please verify your own financial needs before applying  for the kidu relief fund to help distressed individuals for their sustenance. We must all come together in small way we can.                          Unity ...

Stone Bridge

DO-ZAM, The stone bridge Bumthang Dzongkhag consists of four Gewogs choekhor, Chumey, Tang and Ura. The serene region is considered a sacred place by the Bhutanese and ancient tales of religious treasure-discoverers still persist today. Amongst all, one is an astounding tale of stone bridge locally known by the name  Do-zam which is in between Kurjey Lhakhang and Pangrey Village under Choekhor Gewog. The locals be of the opinion that the Do-zam was manoeuvre by the Dakini over crossing Chamkhar chhu to connect two places. Unfortunately, the rooster crowed at the break of dawn where the Dakini fled the place leaving the bridge incomplete. People be convinced by the tale where the Guru statues at Jakar Lhakhang, Tamzhing lhakhang and Tang Remochen lhakhang were made by the Dakini. When she fled, the statues at Tamzhing and Jakar lhakhang were incomplete where we can see the statues without the hat(Ueezha) today. It was once used as a cremation ground  at one side of the bridge ...

Divorce

DIVORCE As we grow up, we plan for future forgetting the uncertainity of life. It's a great thing to have better plans for anything making the moments and the memories enchanted until we leave the world. But everything does not come our way as we plan. Divorce is one of the occurrences that the planners have not planned for the future. It can be awkward at times, to think in terms of everything happening for a reason, but it can also be pleasant. Sometimes,  when we are going through a particularly onerous time like divorce, it can be very comforting to think that there is a purpose to this and there will be a benefit for what the person is going through the moment.  Through my observation, Bhutanese divorce is breaking of matrimonial knot throbbing the couples who once promised to take the last breath in each other's arm gets separated for a reason. Some of the reasons for Bhutanese divorces are:Failing to the commitments-adultery for money and infidelity, lack of open commu...

Nature and its beauty

What makes the perfect combination? Spring and the book has the perfect combination. What I need is the beautiful blossoms that brightens the earth and to see the greenness grow over  brown beds indicating the rebirth instead of destructions.The truth that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That can be good again. Human heart is a whimsical as spring weather welcoming and positive. At times, we should understand that all human are not same and never fail to understand them. For that, books will be safer than people anyway. It guides and encourages you. Show you a better path and makes you better human. Most importantly, it gives you positive environment. Therefore, books and nature plays the crucial role for bookworm and bibliophile. Read, learn, understand,  live in your own world and love nature. Be positive no matter what situation you may have to face it. Just face it and remember it will go away someday.
