CHENGA PENJOR's JOURNEY

With participants Blessed Rainy Day, a day we Bhutanese believe to be the end of the monsoon season. It is always a great feeling to celebrate the day with our family and relatives around. The significant day and a special day for everyone to get ourselves available to be mobile so that one can get together with our near and dear ones. Game Time The day is auspicious and it is believed that the blessed water from the heavenly body will be showered in the form of rain with a sole reason to bless the sentient beings and wash away their sins/demerits and accumulate the merits. It is a great opportunity for all to have flushed out demerits and make our merits count. The day is declared off for all the government offices and schools for the very reason to make it special and memorable. All in all that matters is the devotion within while making our prayers.

Get going with the mass and experience the best part of Unplanned Trips. All in all, it was never intended for the mass to visit Bumthang when we were a bit late for offering Ku-Sung-Thug-Mendrel to His Holiness Namkhai Nyingpo Rinpoche at Tharpaling.

Bhutan with hardly a population of 0.8 million in population, the crime rates that are reported daily in the Newspapers and in the Television are alarming. Crime can be of any activity that can be harmful not only to the individual but also to a community/society and to the state as a whole. Corruption is on the rise in our country having much of the repercussion to the status of an individual when it is surfaced in the domain of the public.  Now why the act that is forbidden and that can be punishable by the law is committed? There could be thousands of reasoning if one ask the victim. As far as I am concerned I could think of the following reasons that may have caused to commit: Unemployment: I thin
