CV correction and the resulting dilemma….

My CV in RCSC’s CSIS has me as working in Orong Lower Secondary School from 2008-2012, while in actuality I was serving in Orong Higher Secondary School during the same duration. So last week I went to the Bumthang dzongkhag HRO’s office to make the necessary changes.

Me and Football

These days I am participating in the “Chumey Open” football tournament, as a player in “Upper Chhokhor United” team. Though I am not a skilled footballer, my interest in this sport has me participating in many local tournaments.

I am NOT legend

If you put a price tag on yourself, what would be your worth? This is a question that I have been asking myself lately. What determines a person’s worth? What determines my worth? This past year, my feelings regarding this have been pretty negative. I am a teacher, and for the past eight years I have been dedicating myself to my profession. I have served in two higher secondary schools in eastern Bhutan. Up to 2007, I was in Nganglam and after that I was in Orong.

I Weep

I weep, as I leave Orong,

From

the green school,

the dusty road,

the well-spent years.

The Gate of Orong School

As I look back, I can see

The gate through which I entered

And became a part of your family.

Exam Blues

I am at the back of the exam room number 6 at Orong school. It is 20 past nine on 27th of June 2012.

Fog sweeps in through the open window by my side. It is silent…except for the scribbling of pen on paper and the quiet shuffling of pages.

It is exam time and I am invigilating a group of students in exam room # 6. They are a mixture of class IX, XII Science, and XI Arts students.

The Golden Touch

Unlike Midas and his golden touch, mine is practical. My touch has already reached many. And literally too.

It all started some years ago. Being placed in a middle secondary school in eastern Bhutan in 2005, I was only 21 years old. Fresh out of Samtse College of Education (then National Institute of Education) with a degree under my belt and a lot of worries in my mind, I joined the teaching fraternity.

Facebook

I can feel my hair,

My hair on my hands,

My hands on my keyboard,

My keyboard on my table,
