I couldn’t Say Anything when I Saw Her Again The worst challenges that one may encounter are not about the worst things of the world – these are the best things one can’t achieve because one is not destined to fit into the nature’s formula. Just because of the fact that this one formula fails, one sees the world differently. All that stands rigid are not meant for forever. All that one achieves are not the success stories that stays forever. These are the few things I knew from her. Image Courtesy: From Google It took me four years to see her again. Once she was something I couldn’t live without. But when I saw her again, she was stranger than any one I could imagine. I couldn’t believe it was with my own eyes to see her again. I couldn’t believe how I gained that strength to see her again. Looking back into the mirror of the past, she was someone I trusted more than anyone. I dreamed of the better world with her. I saw the future with her.   Sadly, these are sh

Genre: Fiction At schools, we meet so many kinds of friends - good and bad. This is a story of a good friend. I know her from my high school. At school she was a hard working girl. She would do her works with passion - as she would describe. She used to say, it takes some passion and some reasons to do the best thing in ones life. She was good in studies not because she was a bookworm, but she lived with perseverance and dedication, I should say. Image from Google I was in class eleven when she was in twelve. As a junior, she was an inspiration. As a student in the same school, she was something on which teachers would cite as an example with pride. Her name was almost like a mantra for our principal to chant every assembly. Her name was in every award ceremonies like these ceremonies won't happen without her name. So, she was such a good student - good in academics,  sports, but all that caught me was her sense of humor. She proved her strength in her higher seco

Things You Should Learn in High School

What happened to me in my high school is that, I was trained to study, study and study the textbooks and the notes given by the teachers. All that seemed to matter was a good result - a colorful result. Today I regret a few things looking back into my high school days, thinking I never did enough. I should have developed a good communication skills. I should have read a lot of books. I should have learnt how to write well. I should have learnt how to explore beyond the borders of the classrooms.  What I thought in my high school days was that I would get an ample of time to read and improve my communication skills in my college life. But doing this is quite a herculean task. These are some of the things that keep one surviving after high school. Looking into this fact, wishing to develop these skills after high school is quite foolish. It is my opinion that it's right time for the students  to acquire all these skills in high school. What I would suggest are: 1. R

Why Bhutanese Parents Should Introduce Their Children to Coding

Image
Not many Bhutanese of my age, and above are aware about programming. Not many Bhutanese parents influence their children to become programmers, computer scientists, system analysts, or web developers. Not many Bhutanese think these professions as lucrative as being a civil engineer, an architect, a lawyer or a teacher. But these professions are the orbit on which today’s world rotates. Image from Google However coding is not limited to IT professions only. It has become a medium with which we interact with the machines we live with for our life’s comfort. Making one’s children learn the art of coding is inevitable. Starting to learn how to code only at university level has become a traditional method. It is high time we start crafting coding skills in our children not looking in job’s perspective but at making our children understand the digital world we live in. Coding is not only about learning a sophisticated high-level programming language but learning to solve pr

Here are some of the things that one must be taking care of while using it. Keep your passwords super-strong : A strong password is a mixture of numbers, special characters and both upper- and lower-case characters.
