Thanks for Treating us Well.

Lately I watched a movie known as The Stoning of Soraya. The movie is about how women in some parts of the world face irresistible torture (Stoning in the film), how they are over powered and how hundreds of women went through such tortures. Stoning , or lapidation, is a form of capital punishment whereby a group throws stones at a person until the person dies. This punishment is one of many uncivil punishments, imposed to offenders in some parts of the world. Slower than other forms of execution, stoning is a form of execution by torture . Women’s vulnerability and helplessness is clearly portrayed in the movie (I am not going to talk about the whole movie here). Women are considered low; they are made to live in their husband’s authority and treated like slaves, not life partners.   Despite many human rights protests and Conventions against women, this type of practice seems to still exist in some corners of the world. Women are tormented in the name of God and Religion. ...

Facebook fever?

Image
Visiting the FACE with a BOOK to write on (our real face don't have it), has become like a addiction to me. At first it was interesting but now I am kind of fed up with it but still my day seems incomplete If I don't visit it. Its like there will be attendance or like I am going to miss a big time from history If I don't log in there.  Open facebook and you will be stuck in there, whether you have friends to chat or not. At first it was quite reluctant to chat with anonymous or unknown people but now one don't have to know the other to chat. Sometimes i feel like I am in an interview, with never ending questions one after another. At times its interesting meeting new people but more annoying. While it has both pros and cons according to how we use it, If we think hard there are million of things that could happen there. While we can keep in touch with our friends and family, existing relationship, we can make new relationships and sometimes break relationships to...

The Lady - Aung San Suu Kyi.

Image
"The Lady" is a worshipful film about the Myanmar opposition leader , Aung San Suu Kyi by Luc Besson. Aung San Suu Kyi is a Burmese dissident and pro- democracy leader who is now the opposition leader of Burma.  The film follows Suu Kyi's long journey towards Burma's Democracy, the years she spent under house arrest, her message of nonviolence in the face of a violently repressive regime, and the sacrifices she made for her political passion. Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi  was played by Michelle Yeoh and referred to as Suu in the movie. The movie starts with a  scene which depicts the death of Suu’s father, Aung San, a nationalist hero, who was assassinated by rivals in the Burmese army in 1947, when his daughter(Suu) was a child. Aung San Suu Kyi is first presented as a housewife and a scholar, wife of an academic, Michael Aris, who is a leading western scholar on Bhutanese, Himalayan and Tibetan culture.  She gets a call that her mother is dyin...

She is still a NEW BRIDE to me.

It's been a year and I'm still awestruck by our Royal Bride. Her simple being, simple beauty and her simple way of everything leaves me mesmerized, even if it's just looking at her portrait.  I feel like the wedding just happened yesterday. She is still a new bride to me. Time flew off like a flash and in this 1 year, I hope our royal couple might have had a cherish-able time together. I would like to wish your majesties a very happy life ahead and pray that your lovely union will bring immense happiness to Bhutan and Bhutanese. May this unification be always magnificent......A VERY HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! 

Hidden version of Dechen - The real me......

There is a hidden Dechen inside me who comes out quite frequently these days. The usual me is what I am always but there exists a hidden version of me also. This does not mean I change moods and I have two faces, I don't want people to understand me this way (gig). I always thought I am what I am and there's no other me in me but I was wrong. There is another me in me. Unlike in usual moments, that unusual me comes out astonishingly sometimes. When people bring me down, when people create unnecessary miscommunication, when incidents occur involving personal greed and dishonesty, having draining relationships, and of course my own negativity. I used to be an easy girl, someone who accepts almost everything, someone who says OK and fine to everything without thinking much. Now, I realize that I am no more the same.  I sometimes wonder, " Is this the identification that my ego is rising?" I sometimes assume myself going the wrong way. Many times I had to conjecture ...

My mother......my angel

    You have always been there, from the day I was born and still I am nothing without you though I have to live without you now. You call to say hello You accepts me as I am That helps me to know deep down how much you really care You never let me lose hope You've always gave me courage You taught me to live life  and to love living. Even though I might not say it, I really appreciate all you do So powerfully blessed is how I feel for having a mother like you. When I'm a mom I hope I'll be like you.............I am missing you a Lot.

Is this My Strength or Weakness?

Well! I am 20 years old now and I still get wronged many times. I don't know whether it is my Strength or weakness to forgive people so easily. I forgive and forget easily when something bad happens or when some one hurts me. I have been considering this as my strength till now but I realize now that this is a great weakness sometimes. I get into abusive relationships because I am, in a way too forgiving. I meet again and again with the same wrong person because I forget what had happened in the past and take it for granted that they will not repeat the same. I was taught that by forgiving someone we are letting them off easy for what they have done.  When we don’t forgive others we are really harming no one but ourselves. While you are angry, hurt and frustrated about what has been done to you, the other person is enjoying life. While you are wasting time thinking about them, they are enjoying life not thinking about you. Forgiveness means letting go of the anger and d...
