why that stars matter?

bird's eye view of Phuntsholing Town
I met with a tourist near the Zangdhopelri in Phuntsholing Town.
"Bro, can you help me find a hotel rated 5 stars?", he enquired.
"I'm sorry. I'm new here."
"It's ok."
"But why that stars matters?"
He grinned naughtily, "Brother, the more the stars, the more happy you you'll be there."
"Forgot that you're already in a happy kingdom?"


I asked, "If Bhutan is a hotel, how many stars would you rate?"
"There's no star to rate Bhutan..."

Letter to the Facebook Girlfriend

Today, relationships do happen between those who never meet also. The following, letter exposes one of its kind-a man breaks the usual short chit-chatting on Facebook with a long message, something like love letters of 90s.  Dear Sonam, This ain’t to freak you out with a long text message. I thought it would be nice sometimes to write something long so that I am given with a bigger space to express.  You know me well, right, though we never meet. I speak less. Today I thought of speaking something long but my mouth won’t do that. So I am sending you this long message. It’s a cliché but I find it appropriate to write here.

I can’t even quote a cliché completely but I know you’ll understand what I mean because you understand me how terribly ever I express the things. Remember the prank? The first word I texted you “in the history of our friendship in Facebook? That was...

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: ...

Tshangla: My Mother Tongue

Tshangla: Background Though spoken predominantly across the country, Tshangla exists as a primitive language (without a writing system), described it as an unwritten language . Tshangla also known as Sharchopkha (meaning The Language of the Easterners{Eastern Bhutan}) is the major language used in the eastern part of Bhutan, some parts of Arunachal Pradesh (India) and Tibet.  Seemingly, a large population of the Bhutanese use Tshangla . Unfortunately, it is one among the list of the world's endangered languages. Researchers has found that Tshangla is of three typical dialects including Bhutanese Tshangla, West Kemang Tshangla[India] and Pemako Tshangla [Tibet].  The studies done claim that Tshangla is a Sino-Tibetan language of Bodish type. However, it's origination is complex to understand as there is no written record about this language. So  the mystery is, from which part of the world did Tshangla originate? How long has it endured to exist? ...
