"Witnessing the wedding and crowning of five Kings in one lifetime"

With the crowning of His Majesty the Fifth Druk Gyalpo in 2008, she has witnessed the crowning of all the five Kings of Bhutan. Angay Sangay Pelzom from Bjoka in Zhemgang is 110-year-old. She lives with her granddaughter in Gelephu.

Angay Sangay has also witnessed the wedding of the four Druk Gyalpos. Come Thursday and she would have witnessed the wedding of the fifth Druk Gyalpo as well.
In 2008 during the coronation of His Majesty the King, she came to celebrate the event at the Tendrelthang in Thimphu, where she offered Ku Sung Thu gi mendrel to His Majesty. This time she will not be able to come to witness the historic event in person but will definitely be watching it LIVE on BBS TV.
At 110, Angay Sangay is a very satisfied person, having lived to see some of the historic events in the history of the Kingdom.

A Mistaken Food

This is song written and sung by Dr. Sherab Dorji. As this song is not fully understood by many listeners, I thought it would be nice to translate and share it here.

From the hands of generous people
I (fish) didn't expect a hook
But the hook of an uncompassionate Buddhist
Is killing me in the sandy plain
While I was in the depth of the river
I was content with the elegance of my body

From the hands of women loving eggs
I (hen) didn't expect a poisonous act
But the ill will of women loving bloody meat
Is ripping off my feathers in boiling water
While I was at the door of the house
Laid laying nutritious eggs

From a religious minded son
I (ox) didn't expect a knife
But the knife of the money loving son
Is separating my body in the paddy field
While I was at a beautiful village
I ploughed the field tirelessly

From the hand of greedy nomad
I (she-yak) didn't expect a spear
But the spear of wretched nomad
Is making me crave for water in the butcher's town
While I was in the mountains
I happily grazed the grass and flowers
P.S. Both the singer and translator are vegetarian.

His Majesty visits quake hit areas in Samtse


Friday, October 7, 2011
His Majesty the King visited the people affected by the September 18 earthquake in Samtse today. His Majesty the King visited the geogs of Ugentse, Yoeseltse and Norbugang in Samtse. Despite the scorching heat and rain His Majesty the King also visited a few affected houses.
His Majesty said there is nothing that can be done over what has happened. What we make of our future is what matters, added His Majesty.
His Majesty told them he was aware that labourers would be scarce and costly for the people. Army personnel will be sent to assist them and people be back to their houses by the next monsoon, said His Majesty. His Majesty advised them to rebuild the houses well.
People were told that he will return to see the rebuilding process and added that people should submit their problems through the gups, the dzongdag and their members in the parliament.
His Majesty reminded the gups that they must work hard and help the government complete the assessment of the damage.
Yoseltse Geog is about 27 kilometres away from the dzongkhag headquarters. It is one of the smallest geogs in Samtse. Over 900 houses were affected by the earthquake which caused major damage to over 300 houses.

My Lama

Lama Namkhai  Nyingpo

HH brings calm to the nation

Quake : Je Khenpo’s Televised Address 30 September, 2011 - Addressing the nation in a rare televised address last evening, His Holiness the 70th Je Khenpo, Trulku Jigme Chhoeda, said the zhung dratshang is performing kurims all across the country for the safety and wellbeing of the people and the country, following the September 18 tremors.

Appearing on TV for about half an hour, His Holiness also put to rest the recent rumours of another impending earthquake. “Even scientists can’t predict earthquakes and it’s only by having faith and praying to our protective deities that will save us from natural disasters,” His Holiness said.
“I also urge all the people to recite Mani (dedicated to Chenrezi) and Badza Guru Dungdrups (dedicated to Guru Rinpoche), Nungneys (fasting) and conduct other kurim,” His Holiness said. “Earthquakes come without any warning and can cause damage within a few seconds.”
A press release from His Holiness’ office stated that His Holiness the Je Khenpo is performing a special kurim at the Tashichhodzong, and the Dorji Lopon had been conducting purification and sanctifying rituals for the nangtens, lhakhangs and dzongs damaged by the earthquake.
Special rituals are also being performed at the Punakha dzong and the Pangrizampa monastery in Thimphu. “Recitation of the Kanjur, Jigten Wangchuk prayers and other prayers to appease Bhutan’s protecting deities and local deities are being held all over the country,” it stated.

In the meantime, city officials said they would close the stretch once in a while to get people used to the change in the offing
Norzin Lam
Thimphu City 30 September, 2011 - The exacerbating situation of city traffic congestion becomes evident during peak hours, and almost perpetually so along Norzin lam, the stretch between the taxi parking area on the south and Chubachu to the north of Thimphu.

The government, in its desperate attempt to accommodate the unceasing growth of cars, has widened roads, drawn one-way traffic and added several road networks.
Another attempt is being made at decongesting the Norzin lam stretch.
This time, Thimphu thrompon Kinley Dorji said, they were considering a total closure of the stretch for cars.
He said this was a plan that was sketched out in the Thimphu structural plan, 2002-27. “It didn’t happen between 2002 and 2011,” he said. “But it ought to happen any time soon, maybe by 2013.”
Until an alternative route could be sorted out, in the absence of which the other road networks would be congested, he said, the plan had to stay on paper.
The stretch was, on several special occasions, closed for vehicular movement in the past, and Kinley Dorji said there were suggestions from the prime minister to do so at least once a month.
That way, he said, Thimphu residents would be gradually attuned to the change that is to come.
The traffic that is planned be closed between 8am and 8pm, would, however, open after those times for vehicles bringing supplies for the shops.
As an alternative to that route, he said, they were considering opening the road along the city corporation office, neighbouring the newly built eight-eleven supermarket below the Imtrat hospital.
That road would open up to join the snake road towards the memorial chorten. Cars driving down the opposite direction could go up the junction towards the former Bhutan Development Finance Corporation office to join the swimming pool road.
All these roads, Kinley Dorji said, would be widened for smooth traffic flow.
He said the Imtrat had agreed to let a road pass through their boundary, which entails dismantling some of their toilets and carpentry workshop that the city would have to rebuild for them.
“We’re in negotiation with Bhutan Power Corporation officials to consider taking their electric substations underground,” he said, adding they occupied a major space on the alternative road they were planning.
With respect to parking spaces for vehicles that were almost permanently parked along Norzin lam, he said they were going to build between five and six-storied parking space in the Zangdopelri area that will fit in at least 500 cars.
The International Finance Corporation (IFC), Kinley Dorji said, conducted a study of the existing vehicles along Norzin Lam and found there were just about 300 of them.
“We’ve requested IFC to conduct another study on the possibility of a public-private-partnership model on the multistoried parking,” he said. “We’ll provide the land for private people to build the parking.”
Other alternatives for parking spaces, he said, were the gullies below the existing parking lots between Changlam square and the roundabout below taxi parking area.
“We’ll have more parking areas for which we’ll have to raise pillars from underneath to lay concrete parking spaces,” he said. “We’re exploring all possible alternatives to realise our plan.”
The entire project, which is expected to shape up by 2013, would cost the government Nu 120M, including creation of parking spaces, widening alternative roads and taking the electric substations underground.
While many Thimphu residents were excited about the imminent change that is scheduled for the city, a few shopkeepers said, so long as their businesses were unhampered, they welcomed it.

"Memory of love never dies"



The chirping of bird has halted
In succession of river has paused
The downpour has stopped
But the sun was shinning upon the sky.

No sound of birds
Under the bough of tree
Stand and still
Oh! Imagine if Lhazin is flying over my mind.

Love does terminate
But memory residue evermore
Water of pound is as pure as crystal clear
But running was full of grime.

Atmosphere was full of calm
In the heart of meadows ground
Oh! My lad, my kindness
Where is your voice of love?
