Thank you, our Fourth King


As said in songs beautiful,
Happiness of a bird is,
But all thanks to the kind tree.
In line same, thank you My King
You gave us a wonderland.
The moment You were crowned,
Subjects felt hope and courage,
Your youthful age mattered not.
A King, so esteemed, reigned
From throne less, from heart more.
Powers did You decentralize,
For in unison power lied,
Thus the low were empowered.
Developments gained momentum
But to You, these meant so less
Lest it brought no happiness.
Thus was born, the GNH,
A north star for the nation,
An alternative to world’s move,
As balanced harmony it seeks.
Bhutan, the name then flourished.
To the voice You gave the people,
Unasked, You gave the Best platform,
Democracy in the Kingdom.
And voluntarily You crowned
Fifth King and you stepped back,
All to the admiration of world.
In foundation laid grand,
Under reign of The People’s King,
We enjoy Your legacy.
No riches would ever befit
To thank you My Fourth King,
Yet devoted subjects pray
For Your Majesty’s long life
And promise our effort
To take the nation further,

To dreams You have for nation.

Loving through Tears

She is Sunshine -------- I know. She is Music ------- I know. She is Starry Sky ------ I know. She is an Angel -------- I know. I know lots and lots that she is life-breather for me. But, this is the world, a sidhpa (tibetan - Sridpa  སྲིད་པ). Anything happens because there are cause, conditions and effects. She is subject to this law; thus she isn't perfect, as much as I am. She, a straightforward and very sensitive soul, gets upset for some matters she placed expectations on. I am definite that she does her part to the extent of her might, and I too try to make things move as that of fluid. Yet even fluids suffer diversion, stagnation, and so on. Just that way, little things like incorrect words, unsound tone, selective hearing, sleepy answer or sometimes no answers, and the like happen. These all spoil her mood. And I feel sad - I don't want her to be feeling down a second, I cannot bear it. Yet, these all happen and she cannot but get irked. If distance isn't be

Her one message and my waiting heart

A week passed, and we are still on the road, at the same spot. She is somewhere far at an end of the road and me, here at this end. Not moved even an inch. “I miss you very much” and “miss u 2” were the farthest we could go. Only difference I made ( I wish I knew hers ) is that now, I can even start the chat with “I miss you very much”. I still haven’t figured out how she misses me. It somehow dawned upon me that all I have to care about was to be true to my frantic heart, expect less and be ready for any response. But still I want to know, know how she misses me. It’s lunch time. I am with my lunch in the dining hall, heading towards the door as to go into my room. My roommate Dawa snaps, “Hey, why don’t you stay here in the hall and eat with us?” My tan cheeks blush, I feel the heat. “Lately, I didn’t feel like to eat here.” I know it is the lamest of excuse but still I had to cling on. Man, I was not this timid before. Coz you are not telling them the truth

‘The privatisation of medical facilities in Bhutan will ensure prompt health services.’

  Our country, Bhutan, has been concerned about the health of citizens and striving to attain the goal of Gross National Happiness. The health services are free of cost and the coverage and efficiency of these services has been notably good. Few issues rise with the demographic change and privatisation of health services surfaced for study. The paragraphs below will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the privatisationto decide whether current or private health system will ensure prompt health services. The privatisation would offer faster access to the medical services. This would reduce the pressure of increasing patients standing in queue being faced at the hospitals. The number of patients exceeds the number of doctors which has limited the quality services to the former and privatisation of medical facilities would ease the pressure on the doctors, thus availing by the patients the best services the doctors can offer (Wangchuk, 2007) . A health official opined that t
