I have just completed eight years of service to the organization this year. While joining in 2014, I just thought my task is to teach only. I never thought of any other activities or roles that I need to shoulder. But the moment I took the responsibility of teaching only came to know that I have to shoulder responsibility beyond teaching-learning. Apart from the teaching profession taking responsibility in the…

Does loyalty and integrity (Tha Damtse) and Corruption (Ngen-lay) go hand-in-hand?
Where are we going right and wrong is a question nowadays? I heard enough of loyalty and corruption conversation. Nobody feels safe in the system. One who does right is always targeted by the beneficiary of the wrongdoers. That is the philosophy of life where crooks remain and those who work honestly are victims of the system. Sometimes I view corruption and loyalty go-hand-hand. In the name of accountability and…

I am still searching for an…
