Birthday Boy

As I embark 30 years, I received the highest number of birthday wishes since I came to this world. Friends all over the globe have proven to be very kind in lightening my day. In such cases, “social media” seems to be playing major role in shaping somebody’s day.
With much gratitude I would, from the very corner, bottom, inside-out, of my heart like to thank each and every one of you for having taken your time to write down all your wishes and prayers. Thank you all again.

30 years!!! I realize, I am growing older every passing second. When I contemplate my 30 years as human, son, father, uncle, brother, student, teacher, husband, friend, etc. I realized of not achieving or caring to do anything wonderful work. What a waste of 30 years. Looks like I was just a year old yesterday and suddenly I turned 30 today. Now I realized the importance of life and promise to write down my achievements during my 40th birthday (May 2, 2021), given a chance to live longer. This is another [besides trying to be good human being] promise of mine and “work plan” for my 40th birthday. My daughter will be 18 years old and older enough to understand her dad’s achievement and get inspired to look into life differently.
It is my dream to make my parents “known by my name” and my daughter known by “her own name”. My greatest achievement as a dad would be, if people know me through my “daughter’s name”. What an ideal situation it would be…WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
I have always aspired to be a good son, great husband, great dad and good human being and will continue to do so.


Thank you all again for lightening my day. KA DRIN CHEY.

Non-Wood Forest Products (NWFPs) or Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs)

Both Non-Wood Forest Products (NWFPs) and Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) refers to what is earlier known as Minor Forest Products (MFPs). The use of "MFPs" terminology has been discontinued as it seems to greatly mis-guide the produce. For instance collection and trade of Cordyceps ( Ophiocordyceps sinensis ) by high alpine dwellers and even Chirata ( Swertia chirata ) in the east (Shigkhar Lauri) contributes more than 50% of their annual earnings, which of-course is clear that these forest products doesnot justify to be called as minor. NWFPs and NTFPs are two very similar yet different terminologies adopted to address these produce of forest other than timber. In short it includes everything besides timber. Rattan Shoot In Bhutan we use NWFP and it is defined in the National Forest Policy of Bhutan, 2011as, "NWFP means resin, varnish, katha, kutch, plants, flowers, seeds, bamboo, bulbs, roots, leaves, grasses, creepers, reeds, orchids, cane, fungi, moss, medic...

Brothers and Simple Living: Are they Happy?

Simple living encompasses a number of different voluntary practices to simplify one’s way of living happily blending with the environment where one lives. Buddhism encourages living a simple life and shying away from materialism. It is said that, the more wealth one possesses, we shed more happiness. I think it may be true to a greater extent. For example, if we own a kilogram of gold, diamond etc., most of our time and peace of mind will be disturbed for the fear of getting it stolen from the lockers or losing it. Che-nga-la and Chu-dru-la in Chamkhar Bumthang. Bumthang, the place known in Bhutan for its spiritual habitat has two brothers named as Che-nga-la and Chu-dru-la, which directly translates in English to be Fifteen and Sixteen. I don’t know from where the peculiar name has been derived. They may be in their mid fifities. I still wrack my head and ask elderly people of the community to find out if their real name is what we address them or do they have another name? In m...
