Hi, I am Blue and somewhere there in blue, I love my pink. I said sorry for many a times, she said the same to me. Sorry has been our conversation topic for long. I know she still loves me and I love her more. I decided her as my soul mate on 16th June 2012 and was happy to know that we are for each other forever. But there are people who don't want Blue and Pink to be together. Someone else too wants to be with pink, he writes me a lot to disturb our relation. I wanted to hear that from her and she finally did tell. I was hurt a lot, a very much but I knew she too was hurt the other side of the mountain. I always waited for my Pink.
Finally when the black cloud is being cleared, the strong wind is trying to make my Pink away from Blue.
There are thorns in our life. If we walk alone on this journey more thorn will come along. If we walk together no thorns can come in our relation. Though I am already married to you on 16th June 2012 as a soul moreover,
WILL YOU MARRY ME again PINK!
No work, no noise, no complains, no books....etc.
However, my mind is still not in peace. I am on leave for three days yesterday, today and tomorrow. I had a dental appointment in JDWNRH today. My appointment is over and i am already thinking when will reach back to school because my mind is not in peace. It is because this Saturday I have to declare the Block Test IV result and as soon as I reach back to school I have to collect the CA and prepare the results. I wish i had brought some work here so that i could do it here today. Today I have no work and feeling very bored, no work, no friend.
With Germany 5-0 Brazil in first half, it has become the worst world cup for Brazil. The Brazilian became mentally week when Germans scored one goal after another. Brazil who is the favorite of many football fans being a five time World Cup champion and was expecting for the sixth this time is going to make the worst history for themselves in the World Cup.
And it did happen so, 7-1. Luckily, Brazil at least scored 1 in the last minute to safe nil. Sad for Brazilian fans.
What
I am today is the product of education which I got not from the school but from
my family, relatives, friends and teachers. I do not remember what I studied in
the school but the values and the abilities I have is the outcome of my good
education. Though I might not have got a good content knowledge but I am proud
that I have a good education. As stated by Albert Einstein, “Education is what
remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school”, the real goal
of education is not necessarily the mastery of the subject matter, but mastery
of one’s person. The aim of education should be to develop a life-long love for
learning.
The love and care I got motivated
me to learn everything with interest and understanding. I might not remember
the exact words, the poems and the stories taught but the impact of the moral
has turned me to be loving human being. These values have encouraged me and I
have come up with my own principles of life among which helping the needy is
prior to all.
As
Montagu brings out the point “we don’t understand that we need to grow up into
children and not adult”, I feel he is very true. The amazing qualities of the
children are to be preserved by all. Children
are capable of learning anything, what they need is just the appropriate
environmental condition. They are always curious and wonder of anything that
happens in the world. We should give them enough love and support for their
interest to learn. Every man is born great, only that they do not retain their
greatness when they grow big. An adult resists the kid in him and eventually
kills it, the most perfect gift of nature, so that he might fit well in the
system of his so-called civilized society. Rather we should always be like
children and preserving the traits.
During
my apprenticeship I had a student who was looked down by the school, society
and even her own family. Digging her history, I found that she was once the topper
of the class. Some unfavorable circumstance made everyone look down upon her
hence her self-respect was diminished, hampering even her academic
performances. I was friendly with all my students sharing love and care for them
and I used this to drive them forward and inspired them to become the best they
can be. I think this behavior of mine made her comfortable and one day she asked
me if she can call me brother. Thinking to change her life, I tried my best to
be a good brother, and still in the process, counseling and helping her out of
this circumstance. I make calls and ask about her to her present teachers and
found a vast change in her. Every child has an individual difference which we
as a teacher should identify and help them to be a loving human being.
“A child educated only at school is an
uneducated child”~George Santayana
The origin of modern education may be traced to the advent of First World War. In 1914, when the world was embroiled in the 1st World War, 46 boys from Bhutan were enrolled in Dr. Graham’s Homes, a Scottish mission school in Kalimpong.
The foundation of education based on western model of schooling using western language as the medium of instruction began in the same year when Gongzin Ugyen Dorji was asked by the Royal Government of Gongsa Ugyen Wangchuk to establish a school.Bhutan’s first school was inaugurated in Haa the same year with teachers from the Church of Scotland mission. In 1915 another school was started at the King’s palace in Bumthang. By 1919-20, there were 21 students studying in Bumthang and 28 in Haa.
Western Education (source http://www.bhutan2008.bt/en/node/200)
Four students from the Scottish mission school reached the Indian University entrance standard by 1920. GongsaUgyenWangchuck also requested the British to assist Bhutan in providing education and training in India and in the field of primary and higher secondary education. Thus, between 1924 and 1929, a few selected Bhutanese who had passed the matriculation examination were imparted training in different institutions in India among whom two of them were trained as teachers at the Training School at Bhagalpur and many others were offered for doctors, veterinary doctors ,in weaving, tanning, mining, engineering and forestry. Gongsa Ugyen Wangchuck wanted these students to be trained in different technical fields after their matriculation so that their services could be utilized for initiating economic development in Bhutan.
Though the Western-style education was introduced to Bhutan during the reign of UgyenWangchuck (1907-26). Until the 1950s, the only formal education available to Bhutanese students, except for private schools in Ha and Bumthang, was through Buddhist monasteries. Education gained momentum from 1950s when several private secular schools were established without government support, and several others were established in major district towns with government backing. The introduction of modern education toward the end of the 1950s opened a new chapter in the history of learning and scholarship in Bhutan. Although there is no denying that improvements were also made in other facets of living such as health, agriculture, communication, trade, transport, governance, etc., progressive changes in education were far more dramatic and far reaching. Educational means, including the number of academic institutions, teachers, students and the rate of literacy have increased since 1959 by leaps and bounds, affecting all sections of society. By the late 1950s, there were twenty-nine government and thirty private primary schools, but only about 2,500 children were enrolled. Secondary education was available only in India. Eventually, the private schools were taken under government supervision to raise the quality of education provided. Although some primary schools in remote areas had to be closed because of low attendance, the most significant modern developments in education came during the period of the First Development Plan (1961-66), when some 108 schools were operating and 15,000 students were enrolled.
This rapid development in modern education has brought about unprecedented changes in the social, cultural, political and economic structures, and has in particular revolutionized the education system.
Modern education is generally aimed at humandevelopment and improving living conditions in this world. Veryoften, it is for the purpose of obtaining happiness and material comfortfor oneself.
The purpose of education at that time was that Bhutanese people would:
1.Become literate and knowledgeable.
2.Acquire skills to use technology through literacy.
3.Increase productivity and then their income.
4.Imprve living standards.
5.Easily communicate with people of other lands.
6.Participate effectively in development programmes in the country, and
7.Safeguard the sovereign, independent status and the unique identity of the nation.

A volunteer is a person who can see what others cannot see; who can feel what most do not feel. Often, such gifted persons do not think of themselves as volunteers, but as citizens - citizens in the fullest sense; partners in civilization.- George H. W. Bush
Some people describes volunteerism as “helping people in need” which is actually a very narrow and limited. It is a lot more. It is not only helping people in need but also educating and leading the people for better world. One can volunteer in many ways. There are many different reasons for you to start volunteering:
To help others
To learn about an activity or organization that interests you
To beat boredom (if you find yourself sitting around the house feeling totally bored, volunteering in an activity you enjoy can be a great way to change things)
To gain perspective on life (there is no better way to understand your blessings than to help people in need)
However. the essence of volunteerism should come from the heart. No one can be forced to be a volunteer. A volunteer is the person who is willing to do something from the bottom of his heart.
Volunteerism is the best service you can ever give to the nation. In volunteering, you do not only give but also get a lot. Through my experience I have learned that giving your services for free gives you a good return on your investment, may not be financially but morally. It supplements your personal integrity. Volunteering in particular may also enhance:
Your ‘Personal’ life aspect, by teaching you skills you wouldn’t normally learn. These newfound skills may even help out in your ‘career’ life aspect.
Your ‘Friendship’ life aspect, by introducing you to people with common interests and motivations.
Your ‘Recreation’ life aspect, if your volunteer activities become like a ‘hobby’ to you.
Your ‘Spiritual’ life aspect, by giving you the opportunity to think about what really matters.
Depending on the volunteer activity, you may even improve your level of fitness or health!
Everyone can do something. YOU can do something. If you don’t have the time, DONATE. If you can’t afford to donate money, VOLUNTEER and offer your time or services. Whether you donate your time or money, it is all valuable to those that receive the benefit.
"Volunteers aren't paid, not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless."
