Who am I?

His Majesty the King was going from shop-to-shop during the night of October 15 in Bumthang. HM went to a small shop and asked the shopkeeper if her business was doing well. She thought he was a trade officer and deep inside she thought he was such a handsome trad officer. She answered and when HM poured more question she said she did not have time to answer him.
HM looked around and saw a picture of Indian PM Manmohan and himself in her shop. HM pointed at the picture and asked the shopkeeper who then men in the picture were. she looked up and said its Mamohod Singh, he then asked her who ther other man was. She coolly said Drugyel Drukpa. HM then asked her is the man in the picture and he looked similar. The shopkeeper than looked at him properly and bowed her head. She was so scared and thought HM might have felt offended but HM gave her a sera of Nu 1500.

journey to the EAST

Recently I went to the eastern part of bhutan to some of the remote places too and I realized what comfort and luxuries life we lead in the capital.

Although some of the villages i visited did not have electricity and people lived in darkness there was something that glowed. Their nature and their innocence. The people there are so innocent and not materialistic at all, they help each other in a community unlike in Thimphu where people do not even know their own neighbors.

I went and slept in a couples house, forget about knowing them I was meeting them for the first time. But the hospitality they showed and the way they made me feel at home cannot be expressed. Would people in the west allow a stranger to sleep over?

Sometimes I feel it is good that all parts of Bhutan has not developed equally or we would have lost the small portion of innocent people.
