Live and let other live.

Everyday, almost every front sheet of the leading broadsheet in the world is crammed up with the reports of a man mauled by bears, killed by the tigers, crushed by wild elephants, bitten by snakes, gored by Rhinoceros and many other. On the contrary, thousands of bears are killed for bile, tigers for skin and bones, elephants for tusk and Rhinoceros for horns which fetches very lucrative prizes in what people say ‘black market’. This is only reason why some animals has left the earth leaving nothing but name. The animals have grown tired of men running after them with knives, axe, poisoned arrows, guns, traps, snares and many other mechanism. So, they have resorted to run away forever from man and remain in peace from the place.

"...has left the earth leaving nothing but name"

 The people are posing threats to the survival of animals and other creatures in this earth. The animals are sometime hunted for mere pleasures and I wonder about the people having fun with other lives. But sometime the animals also retaliate and take away the lives of the people.

Just when I am writing this article, I can see outside a sparrow running after a fly. The sparrow seems really curious to catch the fly and enjoy itself with fresh meat. On contrary, the fly seems really helpless trying to run away from the sparrow. Just when the sparrow is busy running after the fly, a boy appears in the scene and he picks up the stones and tests his aim. The sparrow escapes the stones narrowly because the boy is a sharp stone shooter.

Who isn’t afraid of dying or getting killed?

 Who isn’t afraid of dying or getting killed? Who don’t treasure their lives? Why do the animals attack man when they encounter with? The only answer I can give if I am ever asked is because the men are known to harm the animals for no reason. They harm men because without getting rid of us, they feel insecure and fear that the men might kill them.

The most dangerous animals in the zoos are harmless to human and in particular to the caretaker. Why? Because they know that we do not harm them in the captives.

Also there are some animal lovers. They fiddle even with the fiercest animal ever known. The animals are harmless to him because they are harmless to animals.

"Live yourself and let animals live for earth is place to live for every sentient being"

Therefore, if you want to roam in the forest with no fears and walk at night with no danger, harm no animals. The only way to live in harmony with the animals is by taking lives of no animals. Live yourself and let animals live for earth is place to live for every sentient being.

A Long, long, long journey to Education

“Root of the education is bitter but the fruit is sweet” no one would know about it better than Kado. The fatigue of having to toddle to the school, fever of unending exams, the torture of having to burn the midnight oil, dozing in classes and the stern rigors are hard to endure, few even give up on the way but many endure it with utmost determination and commitment, because deep inside everyone knows it pays later. “Root of the education is bitter but the fruit is sweet” no one would know about it better than Kado Kado in the tender age of 12 is negotiating the lazily meandering footpath along the steep mountain. His school bag, full of books, pulls him back. His black naughty boy school shoe is all soiled, indication of how many times he has trudged that same footpath. He is on his way to the primary school in his village, almost 5 kilometers away. He has to make sure he is in the school before morning social work starts; else he gets penalized. Unlike the students who reside nearb...

Defining Tsa-Wa-Sum in One’s own Perspective

If I am asked, I would boldly answer, “The Tsa-Wa-Sum is “Gyeb, Gyelkhab and Meser”, (King, Country and People). But not everyone knows about what tsa-wa-sum is. Hence, when the superior ask them, they are left to conceive their own tsa-wa-sum. Once a meeting was convened by the Dzongdag. In a large congregation of illiterate rural people, the Dzongdag thundered, “do you know what tsa-wa-sum is?” “Can anyone from the crowd tell me?” The crowd went to pin drop silence and no one seems ready to answer. Are they scared of Dasho or no one has the slightest idea what it is? Suddenly, a Ngalop man sitting in the last bench, for whom Dasho is hardly visible, stood up. With his head bowed low, he answers, “The three tsa-wa-sum are Ngalops, Sharchops and Lhotsampas”. “This is because they are the three race in Bhutan” Dasho went into bout of annoyance but before he fired the man, another Lhotsampa (Southern Bhutanese Man) supplemented, “the three tsa-wa-sum are Royal Bhutan Army (RBA) Royal B...

Eternal Enemies

The Cats and Dogs are often adopted by the people in the metropolitan as pets. They go pretty good as pets since they are known to be endearing animals. Some set of folks have their paramount love and passion for these animals. But back in the village, these two creatures are mainly spared space in the home to shoulder their own responsibilities. For instance, the cat is entrusted with the job of dwindling or keeping at the sea bed, the number of rats referred to as naughty rodents in the village. And the dog cannot keep eating what the owner provides and sleep. At night, they have to escort the owners into the corn field and keep barking to keep away, the lurking night’s ambusher (deer, bears, porcupine, and wild pig etcetera). So, I see no overlapping of their right to food and duties. But, many might have surely taken the notice of these two four legged animal never tolerating each other’s presence. One fine day they meet but await a big confrontation. The sight of one another inv...
