His Majesty, the Living Buddha.

Despite having busy schedules, His Majesty have been making a great effort in visiting all the universities, the schools and other institutes across the country.
On the joyous occasion, His Majesty visited the Royal Thimphu College. Each member of RTC family had been extremely excited to have audience with His Majesty, the generous king of Bhutan. It was the greatest privilege and the remarkable moment for us to have audience with His Majesty. 
His Majesty started his speech with us talking about the essence of being self-discovery, genuine belief within oneself. He also touched upon one possessing the good character. His Majesty also talked about a young people to have curiosity and perseverance. He highlighted that those two important qualities should be possessed by every individual. 
His Majesty repeatedly talked about having a good habit of reading as a gesture of thanking the grateful fourth king of the country. HM advised us to read a least a book in a month, ten pages a day in other words. HM continued that the book supply  across the country should be improved in order to cultivate the active reading culture in the country. 
His Majesty interestingly talked about a beautiful concept of RACE. He also deduced two more catchy words from the above word, CARE and ACRE. He elaborated what each terminology stands for. RACE stands for the country being Relevant to rest parts of the world; the governance, culture and people being Attractive; every indivdudual and the country as a whole to be Competitive; and the essence of having good Education system in the country.
CARE stands for Culture, Agriculture, Relationships, and Economy. Those four concepts are the pillars of the country's stability. HM briefly talked about ACRE. He talked about the significance of caring and making good use of limited arable land of the country. 
HM spoke out that he has strong belief in young Bhutanese men and women. He said that he is confident that each Bhutanese can work harder and bring the transformative changes in the country. Further, HM said that everyone expects more from each individual since the country needs more at this time. 

Finally, besides giving us priceless implicit gifts, HM generously declared us a day holiday, a party and bestowed a college-wide picnic. Indeed our King is the living Buddha in human manifestation. His words are always polite and farsighted. We wish him to lead us for thousands of years more. We are fortunate to have such a dharmic king. We always love you, His Majesty of the Thunder Dragon Land. 

Trashi Delek!

Stories of Ap Wang Drugay

Introduction According to Chang Dorji, an old man from Sonam Galing, Ap Wang Drugay’s initial name was Wang Dung-gyud . However, later his identity became popularized as Wang Drugay. Ap Wang Drugay’s stories are so popular in the western part of Bhutan particularly in the Wang region, now in Thimphu. His fascinating stories are also popular in some other parts of the country.

Back to southern foothills

A friend of mine and I had been waiting for the approval with regard to change of our placements from the RCSC for days with high hope. In a mean time we have been attached with the office for a couple of months. By the third week of March, we were made aware that we needed to be sent to our initial place of appointment. On 31st March we received the official relieving letter from the Head Office. We're asked to report to our respective workplace within the first week of April in case inconvenience was not caused due to the pandemic. Internally, Meera and I were worried about the ongoing housing issue both in our workplaces. Meera was at least glad that she got a guest house managed by her senior. She left to Phuentsholing within the first week of April from Paro. I still didn't get house. Yet I decided to stay in combine with friends for a week while I look for house. No sooner did I get the relieving letter than I tried for a publi...
