The land of enchantment and profound changes
28 November 2008
An Indian teacher came to Bhutan 29 years ago when letters took almost one month to reach Bhutan. But the kingdom still keeps him enchanted. Gyembo Namgyel reports. Twenty nine years ago, a high school student in Kerala, India, came into contact with Bhutan for the first time while trying to memorise the names of the countries bordering India. He clearly remembers even to this day, how as a teenager... Read the story »

The Bhutan Dragons Motorcycle Club: what’s that noise?
28 November 2008
Lately, if you have been awakened by the collective roar of a Royal Enfield 500cc engine with riders clad in leather with a dragon’s crest and the credo, “Bhutan Dragons Motorcycle Club,” do not be alarmed.

Fronting: a lopsided concept
28 November 2008
Sir, I read with interest the article by Sangay Wangchuk on the above subject in your November 21 issue. I would like to offer my comments but first I want to dwell on the 108 trade licences that were seized and cancelled in 2007. As this number 108 crops up quite frequently in the media, I must mention here that my name was also wrongly included in the infamous list. The exercise was conducted by... Read the story »
Lest we forget, let’s remember
28 November 2008
Now that the feel of the coronation festivities have somewhat sunk, may I take this opportunity to bask in your attention and highlight what was obviously a splendid chain of events?

It’s not abstract, it’s up to us
28 November 2008
The only way to relate with GNH is to speak the language of happiness. We have had a good ride in time. The PM labels it a pilgrimage. Today, we are a country of jaded seekers. The Promised Land is too far away. Dirt has spread from the hands and faces to doubtful hearts. An old man’s truism goes – “Believe those who seek happiness. Doubt those who find it.” Our first democracy was fought mostly... Read the story »
