A mother in Mother’s Place

When life beacons its bad beauty
You sworn away yet left you in choices lost.
Tries grasping its beauty; but choices are not for you
For it is your destiny; clings unto hope though with despair overwhelmed.

A car without fuel, laptop with internet disconnected and kitchen with pots unfilled
Welcomes you in the bend that life offers, a turn which awaits long
And through the blue shades you look at sun, it blends but not all rays
Yet accepts you; for this is the choice you made

A ray of hope, a mother in mother’s place;
Thanks to you my benign Aunty Pem
Should you see the cute smile from my kid wearing a nice shirts and pants?
Yet that’s the only gratitude they can offer you, know them well.

My car has fuel to run, used I the half of which you gave
Crackers for my kid’s breakfast; used quarter of what is left
Feasts by them like Oliver Twist in his orphanage
Luring around; I cannot but see them grow


The despair that overwhelms, tempts me to lose my equilibrium
Yet remain silent, for I want to watch them grow
I truly owe you for your support; thank you very much Auu
Yet to write this is the only gratitude I can offer you
But in hopes I believe; because everybody around me lives and so should I

APEMS – Assistance for Privately Enrolled Medical Students

Are you a freshly passed class XII Student? Or are you a teacher or parent to the fore mentioned category. If So, I would like to share you about What APEMS is, it's benefit, advantages of holding onto one, which place is better for you, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka?, Does it discourage students from lower socio-economic background to take such a chances?.. Well you are going to see it!!  APEMS stands for Assistance for Privately Enrolled Medical Students. By it acronym , and its name it is defined somehow to be looking like just assistance by which in that matter you are actually paying for your own course. This is completely wrong idea. In proportion to other international scholarship awards; APEMS sanction actually is a very generous scholarship offered very diplomatically, or rather I would say only those students who are well aware of it are delighted to take the chances. Those coming from poorer background are discouraged definitely just by the acronym and its name. I w

Why I think the NC's decision to tobacco act is Right

The recent furor over the tobacco amendment bill, endorsed by the National Council, ignited a flurry of discussions across online forums in the country. Opinions varied widely, from staunch support for the legislation to vehement opposition, with a significant number of citizens observing the debate with a nuanced eye, pondering the broader implications of such a law. With eighteen votes in favor, the bill was set to be discussed in the National Assembly's summer session. For many smokers, this development was met with jubilation, yet it also sparked a lively discourse among the online community, offering a rich tapestry of perspectives to consider. Reflecting on the tobacco ban's impact in Bhutan reveals a complex picture. At both the individual and national levels, the ban's enforcement highlighted stark disparities within our society. Instances where ordinary citizens faced severe penalties for minor infractions contrasted sharply with the apparent impunity enjoyed by th

Iwai English Camp

Just two days after completing my quarantine in Tokyo, I received an invitation from the Kita City Office to facilitate at a Junior High School English camp. The opportunity came at a perfect time; having recently navigated the essentials of settling in, such as residence registration, health insurance, and setting up a bank account, I found myself eagerly awaiting the next steps in my journey. So, I accepted the invitation without hesitation. I reside on the 11th floor of the Tokyo International Exchange Center (TIEC) in Odaiba, a bustling area known for its vibrancy. Each morning, as I open my curtains and settle in front of my laptop, the sight of the Yurikamome line weaving through the city evokes a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of moments back in Bhutan. Japan's development is evident in its skyline, a testament to its architectural and urban achievements. Yet, participating in the Iwai English camp offered me insights beyond the concrete landscape, into the cultural and socia
