I walked near the prayer flags
Thinking someone would be there near,
That ridge seem to be align with many prayer flags
The wind flapped all the prayer wide and afar
With the rhythm of dharma mantra;

The torchbearer of tabloid journalism in Bhutan - TheBhutanese seems to be running out of steam. Their issue of the 28th April, 2012 does not carry a single anti-government article. For a paper whose very survival depends on being negative about everything Bhutanese, this must surely be painful and, worrisome. After all, the very reason why TheBhutanese exists today is because its behind-the-scene financers and promoters wish to saw seeds of distrust and suspicion in the hearts of the Bhutanese people through slanderous and misleading reporting. The very purpose why this newspaper was floated was to conjure up libelous charges against the Bhutanese people, its legitimately elected government, its institutions of monarchy and religion.

This picture appeared in Bhutan Observer's recent issue. The OL describes it as "insightful" for reasons only known to him. Or could it be, yet again, that he drew his inspiration from an irresistible DPT element for a comment like that?  Posted on 31 Mar 2012 by Citizen
The most recent editorial of Bhutan’s latest newspaper The Bhutanese has got to be the dumbest piece of writing authored by a Bhutanese journalist or journalists. I have seen quite a few slip-ups, grammatical errors, factual inaccuracies and even glaring misquotes committed by our young journalists. But I do not recall an article or news reporting as downright stupid and uneducated as the editorial of The Bhutanese, titled “Winds of Corruption” dated March 24, 2012.

The rupee crunch has highlighted a major setback in us as a people and how we work as a team.
As soon as we confront a problem, the blame game starts rolling; that's the easiest thing to do. We cannot resist pointing fingers, irrespective of whether we know or not what we are doing. That's what has been happening on the blogs. So far we just heard the blames, but no solution.

Bhutan Observer reports that a faceless person who goes by the name of Kesang Chhoden had recently threatened to go on a demonstration if the government did not undertake a DNA test of all the male students who studied in Sherubtse College in the past 25 years. According to her, some or all of the male students are responsible for impregnating some 178 odd women in and around Kanglung area which resulted in the birth of like number of fatherless children.

“TheBhutanese” is the latest newspaper in town. I managed to get hold of a copy and I am glad that I wasn’t disappointed. As expected, the paper had Tenzing Lamsang written all over it, both in terms of content as well as in the typical manner in which he headlines his news reports. It leaves nothing to imagination as to the paper’s hidden agenda; it is far too apparent from its sensational and misleading front page headline on its inaugural issue.

I loved her from the day I saw her at first sight
Nothing was there more than her fetching face
Every breath of my heart entered into the world of delight
You lit my darkness with your brightest smile

In Bhutan, there are many stream water outlets which provide a strong potential for a good source of Renewable Energy. The water flows 24 hours a day and so far, it is uncommon for these potential to be utilized as a source of power. Potential energy from the elevated stream water is converted to kinetic energy and electrical energy as it flows down through turbines driving electrical generators.

Hello, indeed it is a long time since I wrote here. To be exact, I abandoned writing since the PDP government came into power. No, it was not a political reason that kept me away; it was rather a personal change (I shifted from my old city dwelling to my new village home). The new life blew me away, growing organic vegetables, understanding bio-technology (for farming), squabbling with the neighbors for irrigation and drinking water, keeping a tab on pumpkin heads (making sure the neighbors did not steal) and of course feeding the other members of the family (cats, dogs, birds). Life was going on like that for the last four year and suddenly I realize that I should do something, something more than growing vegetables and squabbling with neighbors, but I did not know what to do until I had the following couple of realizations.

“If wishes are horses, every beggar would ride it,” and if cordyceps are wishes, every highlanders would collect it as much as they want. But sadly though, wishes merely remain wishes.

This is the story of one Mr. John Wehrein from Hawaii in United States of America who was recently in Laya attending the Takin Festival 2011. It was the twist in his trip that landed him in the festival where tourist and foreigners alike were meant to be the main visitors. And he has no regrets having manipulated his travel itinerary for good. Neither he planned to be in Laya nor did anyone inform him. It was his sheer luck that he chanced upon such happening en route to Lingzhi.

perhaps I have found the answer..
perhaps I have not..
I strived for it, I cried, I laughed..
I lived for a cause, the cause unknown..

I amuse at the thought of humankind; I fascinate at the spontaneity of his creativity; I cheer the charms of our living with a ravishing life; all round- I delight in the intelligence of brains. I enthrall at its insightful heart wondering at the fancy of lives.

Tensed with excitement
Body quivering with a slight touch
Weakened knees and goose pimples
Vision blurring, breaths harder
Hearts pumping faster
Temperature rising with ascent!
Eyes closing in admiration
Of the breathtaking scenery!

It’s not a whole mountain or hilltop I wish to occupy
A vantage point or panorama is not my claim
Nor is it a wide plain or endless river banks
I can’t erect concrete jungle or trade sands and stones.

Looking Back to the 22nd of September 2002,
The Destiny or Fate has united us into one out of two.
Through thick and thin we have travelled,
And many things had to be unraveled,
Here we are, still strongly bonded.

Archery is Bhutan’s national sport, a sport associated with fun and merry making. Generally, the mood in Bhutan is festive after the harvest season and archery is one of the common fun activities around this time. Villages would echo happiness and farmers would beam in excitement. Usually, several two-day matches are played through the autumn months within the village or between neighbouring villages. Men would look stern as they take full aim at the target to please the onlookers, especially the dainty village damsels. Children would take extra joy and pride when their fathers or brothers find the target. It is an occasion filled with lots of food and drink, fun and laughter, contentment and happiness. Songs chorus to cheers and jeers.

“Let there be light, and there was light”
Our world was born thus, Christians believe
And the apple gave us knowledge, and pain
But Jesus will relieve us, He will rescue us!

Sewseela is just like any other dogs that you find in any backwoods, except for his drooping head and fluffy hair often giving an false impressive look of a hound that you find in some books but not as terrifying as the hounds of the Baskervilles. You will, if you see him, find nothing extraordinary about him. He is a brownish dog of average size, searching his share of morsel on the ground, rummaging hither and thither. You could find him around the school campus looking for something. It could be anything from food to mate.
