Things We Should Take Care Of
I'm impressed. Bhutanese have grown so much. Everyone knows that its important to enroll their children to school. The barriers: passes, valleys and other geographical terrains that barred the connectivity is already surmounted. We can travel both on land and in air. The places that took weeks to reach can be accessed within hours. That's pretty cool.
We trade more than ever. We consume more than ever before. We import so much though our export is minimal. We are one of the biggest meat importers by proportion. Aren't these a matter of concern. About these, to people like me, who has limited knowledge don't know much about how it will affect the stability of future's economy. But there's a need to change this trend. There's a need for an idea how we can balance our economy.
BUT I find it these things a matter of great concern that we young people take it seriously and act accordingly.

Modernization or westernization?
Dresses is another thing to worry about. In my childhood days, patches were a symbol of not being able to afford new but today its about being able to afford an expansive one. I'm sometimes wondering how awkward our elder citizens would be feeling looking at today's young people. Wearing pants and shirts may be OK for them but being too fancy must be distracting them emotionally. They may not be happy because they must be fearing what if future generations lose the identity of dressing. Dressing trends among the youths are becoming so exposing. There was a time in my childhood days where a girl can't expose her body above knees but today there's no limit. The age old values that our forefathers upheld have already taken a u-turn and today time has come where one would find "more one exposes, more fancier one becomes". Today there's no hesitation a girl covering 1/4 of her body cross streets, meet elders or anywhere.
There were days in my childhood days where only tsampas (meditators) and women keep long hair but today there's no boundary. Men kept their hair short to show that they are a follower of Buddhism and a son of Palden Drukpa but today's about being a celebrity or a Korean.
