S10zing'S FREE THOUGHT WHIZZING AROUND FREE LAND

What can I say? you guys are the best. How can I forget you all? Always keep in contact and I will be happy to help you all. Thanks very much for the tea, warm wishes, and the cards.  After going through your card and listening to your speeches, I feel very proud and it is encouraging for me to be a better teacher in the future. I also felt like I should have done better than that.  Thank You all, the class VIII B of 2015, Bjishong Central School, Gasa. 

I completed my studies in 2015 and was bouncing back and forth in my life. I served six months as a volunteer teacher, then a year each in a private and government school prior to officially joining the secured government job in 2019. During such time, marriage was out of the question. However, there were three beautiful girls who wanted to get married to me. One was called Karma and she was arranged for me by my eldest brother. She was beautiful but short and had a drinking habit. She was a few years younger than me and divorced. She came to the airport to receive me along with my family when I was returning from university. I didn't know why she was there until that evening. I was taken directly to her house instead of my younger sister's place. Things happened, but not to last long. She would call me and try to convince me to stay with her. But never pleased me. Another one was while I was serving in a private school in Thimphu. She was doing her bachelor's degree at S...

This is a short review of the particular topic from the book titled "Mindful living in Bhutan" by Khenpo Phuntshok Tashi. The topic of 'mindful waking' is of great interest to me as it was talking about meditation. For the last couple of days, I have been trying to meditate few minutes per day. It was a quite difficult experience and I have been beseeching the new experiences. I knew this will be the new venture so I reflected in the daily diaries and committed to practice mindful waking in my life. These days after reading "The 5 Am Club" by Robin Sharma, I have been waking up early at 7:00 am and hoping to wake up at 6:00 am and then join the 5 Am club in my life. Morning is considered victory hour provided it is used productively when the mind is refreshed and the body rejuvenated.  As soon as the alarm goes off, I would wake up rejoicing and thanking God for one more opportunity to practice kindness and compassion. I would swear in front of the altar to ...

Well, I had troublesome nights and certainly, you did too. Not able to go to bed on time is the worst thing you could do. Head resting on the pillow, mind would be wandering. You could hear the silence and could even hear the ghost whispering outside. You could get all the time in the world to recall the worst incident you have experienced, maybe the scary scene from the horror movie or crematorium you have been to. Everything would resonate in your mind. The orchestration of drama would continue till the crack of the dawn. Finally, when it is time for waking up, you would go into a deep sleep.  making it impossible for you to go with the flow. In your head, everything would seem going down the drain.  Overwhelming repentance and dismay would pervade your mind.  Not to mention that not sleeping on time steals precious time, it causes a ripple effect tearing down the good habit cultivated arduously. Falling back and climbing up the ladder of life would be challenging. You ...

Skimming through the lists of books read so far, it is fascinating to see that I am paving my own path. Numerous philosophical books have read that I could have graduated from philosophical school and leading an extraordinary life if there was such a thing. Ordinary people would have thought that I have gone insane. But I like to try living crazy life once in the future and that is the very reason that I am reading such books.  The truth is, with close introspection, I find myself so empty as if that I have read nothing else so far. No impact made on myself or on any others. I always thought that I would like to know myself to know others. My philosophy of education is based on this assumption and whatever I did in school is the testimony of this hypothesis. so much time wasted striving to understand deeper within oneself and it has been like chasing a wild goose in the wilderness of one's mind.  To keep me spirited and attain the upshot in the future, I recalled what Canadian...

I am glad that you are my teacher; You are the light upon darkness, The builder of true nation, The founder of the real being. Every lesson you teach in a day, I took it as my knowledge; Which opens the door to world, Inspiring to dream to work and to reach. You took my attention with your kindness, Every day you are planting a seed; Of curiosity and motivation, To know and to grow and succeed. You help me fulfill my potential; I am thankful for all that you’ve done; Making me to have the fruit of all seasons I admire you each day, and I just want to say "Happy Teacher's Day" Have a wonderful living ahead.  My teachers..
