ROADS IN our country

The people of our country wanted development and our government responded. Every necessary amenity was brought in front of us.  Every dzongkhag in the country is now connected with black-topped road and other necessary public facilities. But the problem now is, the conditions of the amenities are deteriorating with time. Let us look at the road conditions in the country. The road connectivity in the country is very poor now. Our roads are very narrow and and steep. We can understand that our geographical terrains play the role here and nobody can do anything but there could have a better option than this. Secondly our roads are showered with lots of sharp turns. Take your eyes off the road for a fraction of second and you will be greeted by a sharp turn(Hope nothing happens) Thirdly our roads are poorly maintained. Despite the annual maintenance, our roads cannot withstand the present situation. Fourth, our roads are very sensitive to seasons. In winter most of our roads are ...

Writing from the future citizen

The Golden Touch Do you know who changed me? Wonder how I was then? I was a boy known by all Not for my good things But for my naughty behavior Just didn’t listen to anyone I was known to others As a drunken boy Tobacco was my best friend And missing classes was regular I took my friends Not in the right way But in my bad direction Which some followed? I know I was not doing well But I could not change I wanted help for this But who would help me One fine unlucky day I was caught by the teachers For abusing tobacco And I was I was not the only one. Then a light came to me And brightened my mind He saved me from the sea In which I was drowning His advice touched my heart He asked me to think Deep about myself and my family My friends and my school I know he loved me For he stopped me From those unhealthy things For which I thank him Thank you teacher You have touched my heart And changed m...

True Bhutanese

The recent interview aired on BBS with Ex-Dasho Dzongda Jigme Zanpo was very inspiring. His words touched the views to their hearts. We all expect to own a piece of land and flat in the towns after we resign, but Dasho did just the opposite. I am very sure no one will think to help your village or your village fellows after your active service is done.

The Golden words

The kasho that was read at the National Council yesterday Should the houses of Parliament deliberate the merits and demerits of the Land Bill of Bhutan 2012, it is my hope that Parliament will arrive at a resolution that is in keeping with the aspirations of our people in civil service, private sector, civil society and in the 205 gewogs of our 20 dzongkhags. Irrespective of whether a new act is found necessary or not, it is my duty as the Druk Gyalpo to ensure that State Land and Assets are preserved in the interest of Bhutanese citizens – present and future generations – so that our people’s aspiration to own land and home may be fulfilled, while their right to share in the wealth and progress of our nation is protected – for all time. Thus, as a matter of principle, I, the Druk Gyalpo, must state that in this modern time, in a small nation where land is scarce and the value of urban land continues to rise along with ...

What is DPT doing?

Many interesting things are happening after our beautiful country glided herself to democracy. The most remarkable was the CDG. Despite the huge wave of rejection, DPT pushed itself and thus came the CDG. National council and the opposition warned DPT for taking the constitution in their own hands but that did not deter their decision. The public, especially the educated ones were also not happy with the push. After the grant was given, the LG with consultation with the people, filled up the small unplanned activities in the gewog. People became so depended to CDG, that even for a small farm road maintenance, people came up with excuses and requested for the grant. Now people are used-to the grant. They have planned small activities which does not come under the allotted budget. But SURPRISE!!! no more CGD. The government, recently, told. What is DPT doing? Does it mean DPT has realized its mistake? Then why so late? or Is it another way of confusing us? Whatever it may be, ...
