On a lighter side (Promoting GNH in my own fashion)



I have been blogging on quite a serious topic since I started blogging. I decided to write something which may lighten reader’s mood. The idea of writing this topic struck me when Banu Tamang (I hope Banu will not be disturbed for spelling out her name) brought up a topic on “smile” in facebook (Blogyul-Blogging Bhutan group). I never tried to write stories or any kind of jokes till date. The writings may look bit un-organized but I think I made a point to convey the real humorous state of the story. I discovered writing stories or conversation is not my piece of cake. I accept here that someone might have really made the story look better than what I did. Anyways let’s proceed……

Once there was Dr. X, Y and Z (all Ph.D.) from three different countries attending world congress of science (hypothetical). After the conference they thought of diverting themselves from the conference and visited a restaurant for a small get together party.
All of them ordered a beer and a plate of chicken. No sooner they opened the beer, discussions on various topics were under way and they were having really nice time. After few minutes a guy known to Dr. X entered the restaurant and sat by Dr. X and started a conversation shaking their hands. That is when Dr. X started telling what was in mind of his friend. All the people in the restaurant were taken aback and started throwing questions to Dr. X, on how he read his friend’s mind just by shaking hand. Dr. X proudly said, “It is a new invention that my country invented. I have a micro telepathy chip inserted in the palm which sends the symbol from his brain to my brain, and I read his mind”. Mouth wide open Dr. Y and Z were gasping for air in amazement.

Dr. Y couldn't resist what just happened and decided to show his country’s invention. He scribbled something on his palm and started talking to his palm like a phone. All the people in the restaurant thought Dr. Y was insane. After he was done, people asked him what he was doing by talking to himself. Dr. Y was waiting for this moment and he promptly answered, “I have a phone implanted underneath my skin and it is a technology invented by my country which prevents us from carrying phone”. Wow!!!! Said the spectators.
Since Dr. X and Y both had incredible inventions from their country, Dr. Z was very embarrassed as he didn’t have anything to showcase on what his country invented. He looked for excuses and went to the restroom. When he returned, un-noticed to him a piece of toilet paper came attached with (on the butt) his pant. All the people in the restaurant started having a hearty laugh pointing to his butt and the toilet paper. Dr. X and Y also couldn’t control and asked Dr. Z that he better remove the toilet paper from his butt and prevent himself from annoying others. That was when Dr. Z’s brain lighted and said… …………………………………….......................................................................................................

Bhutan's Mega Farm AKA Slaughter House

I am a vegetarian and I love animals. Unless all Bhutanese go vegan, I am for the establishment of slaughter house for Bhutan has to become meat self sufficient.  The issue on establishing a mega farm AKA slaughter house is again tabled for discussion in the National Assembly when the opposition questioned the government citing the sentiments of Bhutanese at large. I felt that having understood the economic un-stability of the country by our so called policy makers, such initiatives should not be questioned at-all let alone opposing it. I am for the establishment of mega farm with following reasons: 1. Establishing a mega farm mean meat self sufficient - Though statistically not proven, I am pretty confident that about 50% of Bhutanese eat meat. I feel even more than that. And to make matters interesting, almost all the Bhutanese meat eaters are heavy meat eaters with majority going for beef and pork (rural areas); and chicken, fish and mutton. Don't believe me! visit any mea...

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...
