Cuddling with newly bought pillow,
She stared the ceiling feeling soft pillow,
Waiting for him to hug her with perfect will,
Impatient was she, real embrace to feel,
Her usual duty was done; for him, the delicious meal,
But had he come late night, in a restaurant for a dinner, paying bill.

There are numerous incidents in my life which I came across had made my fast running various imaginations and emotions pause, for a moment to think and analyze the various situations to suffer and enjoy with the people who undergo insufferable pains of cruel situations. None among them taught me how to hate parents, but learned from divorced parents especially whom I usually call, “Irresponsible Parents”.

I saw a spark of friendship;
and met someone to light it up:
someone so dear and jovial;
a rarity reminiscent of life.

What will you do after completing your studies? The chances are it may be something that doesn’t yet exist or something you have never thought about. What if you just spent several years getting an education for a job that is no longer in high demand? Or what if you bump upon a job that is in high demand but you are not prepared for it? This is the harsh reality of the job market scenario in the 21st century and beyond. And Bhutan is not spared.

The scorching summer heat showed no mercy and technology decided not to rescue. While the room temperature reached forty five degrees Celsius, the air conditioner was broken the previous night from a power surge. The flickering heat waves made us dizzier and intoxicated without having to pay for it. Usually we closed every doors and windows to prevent the outside air from entering in, and vice versa; the usual technique didn't work on that day. Most of the guys were shirtless and the girls, well, they did have the decency to wear sport bras I would have preferred otherwise.

“I certainly do not want our teachers afraid of going to the classroom because of abusive children that they may face in the next ten years. Maybe we should keep corporal punishment as the last resort when all the alternative means get exhausted” - Prime Minister of Bhutan

Passion and compassion keep human spirits alive. For seven years since its birth, Tarayana has always been operating from one room office but its compassionate arms have reached remote corners all over Bhutan. This is the story of an evolution of a vision from a queen to silent communities. In the beginning it was a story of a queen walking the length and breadth of the country seeing Bhutan with her two legs instead of seeing it from her car and revitalizing vulnerable individuals and communities. Now it is a story of vulnerable individuals and communities revitalizing other vulnerable individuals and communities. Tarayana was the queen when it started. Now Tarayana is a Lhop, a Monpa, or an Olep. This is the story of Tarayana.

Is life ruled by silent hands of chance?
Or by powerful fist of choice?
Spare a little leisure to make a glance
The unbalanced ups and downs

Summer had long gone with the rain
Flushing away all sorrows and pain
Autumn had bade goodbye to gold
And have prepared to escort the cold
Spring wants to snuggle with You
And come back with colours of hue
The occasion is yours, please come
And make this chilly time your home

I love my Driglam Namzha lopens Lopen Karma Tshering and Lopen Tshering Penjor. I am not alone. Hundreds of graduates who went through National Graduates Orientation programs love them. Officials from all three branches of government and the armed forces who received promotions love them. Their services are even in demand for social celebrations such as marriages. People across the country, from all walks of life, love them as Chorten Kora’s Lam and Chorten Kora’s Dupthop.

30 odd years of living. How many more in counting; God didn't predict. Some how, life have been gifted, how I live, yet to be crafted. Peace and cheese are almost the same; both gets rotten when left too exposed or closed. Willow trees wither, virgins lose their virginity. Life needs living, living needs dining. Dark cold night, "hopes and big dreams" breaks the day. A broken dream, churned creams, wakes up the rural folks. Rattling wheels, a cranky engine drives the countrymen.

'Yaa choe' he would giggle after smacking a soft snowball on his sister’s back. But he never failed to lovingly remove sleets from her fleece jacket. He loved playing snowball fight with his sweet 'azhim'.

Looking back to what I wrote in my journal on 2nd June 2007 at Bardo village, Zhemgang, I do not know how I walked to “invisible” Aum Lemo’s Bago (hut) but I do know that I met her in her wisdom. Not in her poverty. She helped me to see the value of humility, humanity, and harmony that His Majesty the King has inspired us through a shared vision of timeless value of “being a good human being” or “in the form of simple daily acts carried out from moment to moment.” Indeed, each of us must also realize that “in order to do the job I have been given as best as I can - first and foremost, I must strive to be a good human being.”

Life has a lot of surprises to offer you. But most surprises are self-made be it something that’s pleasing or something that’s displeasing. Any action against parental advices could land you in plights. And that plight may strike you in due course of time somewhere down the line. All you can do then is repent and curse things and people around you, unmindful of the truth that you have created your own destiny. I have experienced scores of failures in all forms in life. Drenched in that desire of perking up my own life and all I could acquire was pain and failure. And these losing parts of my life have taught me a great deal.

Recently the government indicated that the decision to do away with the US $ 200 per day package may soon come into effect. People with concerns and experience have both spoken for and against the decision as always with any other changes….it is very difficult to impress everyone.

Recently we have been reminded again that our HIV cases are increasing despite all our efforts on preventions. It has been a continous effort by Healthcare workers, Multitask forces in the districts and so many other groups educating people on prevention of HIV/AIDS. Whenever we think, talk or do anything on HIV/AIDS we tend to focus so much on sex and at last distribute some condoms and end the programs.

2009 was an eventful year. I list ten things that stand out for me. You will not necessarily agree with me and if you have others that stand out - let me know in your comments

“One day, I will become doctor and I will look after you”, it rang in Meme Dodo’s memory like a bell he heard in temple. His son had gone to Sri Lanka to do MBBS course for six years and was about to return after passing out. He had counted days and now only few days were left. His wife had forsaken him to marry a government servant who had come for land survey when their son Wangyel was only three years old. After his wife left him, Meme Dodo lost hope in life but whenever he looked into cherubic eyes of his son, some sort of spirit got infused into his vein. He started living again for his son. Dodo took care of his son as mother would. He didn’t marry second time out of sheer love for his child.

My friend and I tried many translations of a Dzongkha proverb into English. It is not because it can have many meanings but it is because we didn’t know what is the real meaning of that one proverb. To recite that proverb orally seems simple yet it is puzzling in meaning at least for my friend and me.

Today there is a hue and cry over the Prime Minister’s remark in Mongar during the National Day Celebrations that “threats to democracy are mainly from within, reminding the people to be aware of divisive politics for personal gain”.
I know that I will once again be crucified for saying that I agree with the Prime Minister. But I don’t care - I will support the truth - whether it is for or against the DPT government.

I recall reading in Kuensel a few months back about a female civil employee's decision to walk to office as she found it too disturbing to drive around. Nothing could be closer to this. With time I am getting perfectly rounded in my conviction that there are certain things that we Bhutanese simply cannot be trusted with, and getting behind the wheels is one that invariably tops my list. If our driving ethics (if there is anything ethical about it in the first place!) is any indication of our inner selves, we are a doomed lot - short of the basic rudiments of a civilized order!
