Words From Bhutan

Leap years are those years divisible by four or four hundred where an extra day is added on the shortest month February, making 366 days in the year. There are schools of thoughts which claim that leap year is a year which brings “bad luck”. Some believe it to be a day when a woman can propose for their marriage.  Whatever it may be, I believe it as a moment to cherish because it is a one-time-in-four-years happening thing. We don’t know what would happen in the next. By the next, we are not going to be the same as we are now. We will be four years older than today. So make the day memorable- something as vibrant as you can remember vividly in the next Feb 29. And indeed it is a moment we cherish the past and look forward for a better “next”.

The beautiful part of Phuntsholing town is getting to see  incredible sunsets. The following photos are the one taken on the way back to college from the Dujom Dharma House, located approximately two kilometers away from the college I study, College of Science and Technology.

This is a photo I took recently. I hope you'd like it. :)

The modern cliché Valentine's Day poem can be found in the collection of English nursery rhymes   Gammer Gurton's Garland   (1784): The rose is red, the violet's blue, The honey's sweet, and so are you. Thou art my love and I am thine; I drew thee to my Valentine: The lot was cast and then I drew, And Fortune said it shou'd be you .   Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine%27s_Day Valentine’s Day is celebrated on February 14, as everyone would know. I have limited knowledge about it but as it’s a global celebration (though not a public holiday) of romance and love, I share my heartiest wishes to everyone. However, history indicates a bitter beginning. It’s about brutal sacrifices and martyrdom. The better part of the celebration only after Chaucer and Shakespeare brought this into the light of their works.  With so much of love from the Admin Sonam.

Misfortune is just another name for misunderstanding. There's no "misfortune" as such. Losing is just another way of letting others gain. There's no "losing" as such! Inferiority is just another state of being low to attain superiority. Thus, inferiority is the mother of superiority. Learn to be inferior...

yet another wish for your glorious, joyous and momentous LOSAR!
