This morning I had the pleasure of visiting
DRUKPA, a digital magazine from one of my favourite countries. Pages of the magazine took me on a virtual journey back in time by more than 30 years to the beautiful Dragon Kingdom, where I spent some of my happiest years as a school teacher.
 |
| Mongar Jr High School, Mongar, Bhutan, where I taught |
 |
| From L to R: R J Veerasingh (My colleague from Tamilnadu), Mr Justin Lucksum (My Headmaster), I and Megnath (School pupil leader) in front of the main entrance to the school |
 |
| With friends in front of the passenger lounge at Paro airport which was still under construction at that time |
 |
| Relaxing in front of my house on a weekend around noon (with a cool and Sunny weather) |
As I clicked through the pages of the magazine, I found one
article to be very interesting. This article mentions the cautious steps taken by the Bhutan Government to control vehicular traffic and pollution. Given today's scenario in our country (India) where car manufacturing industry is fast expanding and corruption is so rampant that a majority of car drivers may not actually be qualified to drive (which fact is very obvious just by observing their behaviour when driving), this article would perhaps be an eye opener to our policy makers in India.
