    Thank you anonymous for your concern and I really appreciate it. Actually it took me such a huge courage to violate the copyright law and put those images on my blog. Frankly speaking, I am not the person who scanned the booklet but I got an electronic version of the book. But in saying so, I am not trying to say that I did not violate the copyright law, of course I did by posting those scanned images here. I am also aware of the copyright law when i posted them here. I posted with so much apprehension since I am aware that I am breaking a law. But I thought it will be educative to those people who would like to read it. Now I realized that it does not serve as an explanation for the violation. So I think I did what is right: deleted those images before the author kicks my ass :).

    That is true but would depend where the IP is registered.

    If you can just acknowledge the source. That should be fine.

    Anyway today is world IP day and a post should be there on my blog by tomorrow morning about IP.

    have a look and have fun

Yak Legpai Lhadhar Gawo

Soe Jangothang, a small village near the foot of magnificent Mt. Jomolhari became the village for Chuni Dorji in 1922. Like most of his fellow citizens of his time, he never had the opportunity to enroll in formal school. He was everything but educated, yet he excelled in playing with words. He spent his whole life herding yaks, singing songs and dueling lozays. According to Kuensel (December 29, 2003), he became the singer and composer for His Late Majesty Jigme Dorji Wangchuk till His Majesty’s Death. Ap Chuni happened to compose one of the most beautiful songs from Bhutan: Yak Legbi Lhadhar. The combination of the melody and the emotional story it narrates has the capacity to bring tears to everyone who listens to it. The lyrics of the song is as follows: Soo yak legbi lhadhar zshel legsa Yak legbi lhadhar lhachu dhi Soo yak kayyul droyuel shedming go Yak kayyuel droyuel shed go na Soo thow gangri karpoi zshaylu lay Pang sersho khagyel thosa lu Soo ya metho baabchu legsa mo Yak rang...

Hoch Scholarship Program and Bhutan

“The Hoch Scholarship program is a small private scholarship program which provides funding for up to two Bhutanese grantees, currently in the field of electrical and hydroelectric engineering at the undergraduate level, for a maximum of four years. Grantees are selected by the Royal Civil Service Commission of Bhutan. Grants are full grants and cover tuition, room and board, insurance, airfare and grantax services. It is funded by an individual philanthropist and his family”, says the Information on Institute of International Education (IIE)’s website. That is the only information on this scholarship program which educated a handful of Bhutanese students in the United States in engineering fields. I am sure all those students are contributing towards the nation building process. I have been lucky enough to receive this same scholarship and study here in the United States. I am sure that the extraordinary experiences (be it in academic or non-academic fields) I gain here will help me ...

Don't Fall Off the Mountain

" Don't Fall Off the Mountain ", an autobiography book written by Shirley MacLaine narrates her childhood days in the suburbs of Virgina, adult days in New York and Hollywood, and the adventurous journeys – in search of her true identity – from the deserts of Africa to the high mountains peaks of the Himalayas. She writes about her involvement in the civil rights movement in the United States to her escape from the political revolution of the small Himalayan Kingdom. She talks about the intolerance of the white Americans towards the African-Americans during the segregation and the Jim Crow's era. She takes a tour to Mississippi to “see their world through their eyes”. It was a era when every white, no matter what his work was, was a member of the KKK. She writes about the first hand accounts of the brutal acts of the KKK. She describes about a journey she took along a klong in Thailand. Suddenly, an infant toppled head first into the klong and the parents don't ma...
