Issue of culture and identity are important because culture has content and identity has a background said the Indian Ambassador Paven K. Varma in RIM Talk Series this afternoon. He said culture and identity are not specific to one place so it is global. His Excellency said there is no single concrete definition to culture but he said its elements are definitive. According him,
there are five important aspects when we consider culture and identity. These are antiquate, continuity, relevance and diversity. His Excellency said culture consists of tradition, history, beliefs, mythology, religion, faith, values, customs, rituals, behavior and response. He added that it also consists of symbols, attires, folklore, community behavior, skills, music, flora, fauna, ethos and homes.
He further said that homes and ethos are exceptionally important element of culture citing examples from various countries. He emphasized that it is important to build bridges between various cultures but warned not to interchange the culture. He said that by interchanging cultures, it will devalue both the cultures.
He said that successful colonization is not complete physical control but the colonization our mind. It is because “your mind give you culture and culture gives your identity”. He says that culture in mind happens by the process of “osmosis by the age of 15” which then may mutate.
On the relation between the culture and globalization, he said globalization is silent process which is often irreversible and if our culture is lost in the process, it will be lost permanently. He cited example of Beijing Olympics 2008, where Chinese culture in Beijing is almost completely lost.
On Bhutan’s culture and identity he said that although globalization has made some impact on the Bhutanese culture, but still there is a lot of scope to keep it for the future. He added that this is because there are three elements present in Bhutan. These are vision (GNH by His Majesty the 4th King), reserve (Institutionalization of culture through Constitution) and articulation of culture. He said that Bhutan made a choice, the choice to preserve culture and that is what we need in the global world.
He warned that culture should not be just taken as a token by wearing attire or performing rituals. Instead acquiring knowledge on one’s own culture is very important. He ended by saying that “it is better to be in its original form and not good of being photocopy of someone else”.
Numerous questions were raised on the youth and culture, language and culture and economic growth and culture and also on the Indian investment on Cultural preservation.
Over two hundred participants comprising the faculty members, students and trainees of RIM and Language of Cultural Studies, Simtokha attended the talk in RIM Hall. This was the last in the Series of Talks organized by the Royal Institute of Management for the academic year 2009.

The concept of GNH is growing more complex

-->

His Majesty the 4^th Druk Gyelpo propounded the philosophy of Gross National Happiness in 1979 during an interview with an Indian Media. Since then, it has caught attention from all works of life. However, it remained a philosophy on which people defining it as the sum total happiness
of all the people in the country.

In 2004, the Centre for Bhutan Studies for the first time organized an international conference on Operationalizing of Gross National Happiness. Subsequently, the centre organized similar international conferences in Canada, Thailand and this year is Brazil. Since then, the concept of GNH has grown beyond the comprehension of the common people. The development of pillars of gross national happiness followed by indicators, indexes and even GNH accounts. Such complex concepts have made GNH as a Sexy Catch phrase at the international arena.

Now the question that remains is how it can be applied in the ground realities of the common people. The concept has grown too high, most common people today feel that GNH is only for the experts and high level officials. At times, we as common citizen feel that GNH is becoming more technical and complex with more arithmetic calculations, analysis and deductions of results.  

Let us wait and see what is new concept that has originated from the latest conference held a few weeks ago in Brazil?

Is marriage blessing or curse?

Yesterday, I went along with my classmates to Rinpung District Court as a part of the field visit on application of law. I was seated with my colleagues in the courtroom and observing how trail system take place in our country.

As I observed the hearings, most were having their preliminary hearing and there were no defendants. Meanwhile, I was carried away by the cases that came in the court. Out of ten cases, I observed that morning, six were on marriage. Three came to get their marriage certificate. They
looked proud and I saw a lot of smiles on their faces when Drangpon Lungten Drubjur congratulated their marriage and said that court pray for their everlasting marriage with happiness and prosperity. Looking at those cases, I thought that marriage is something we should have in our live if we want to live happily and more prosperous manner as there is someone to care about us. I thought that there is nothing wrong in falling in love and there is no reason why we should not be falling in love. It is beautiful world when it comes to marriage.

Just after them, there came another two young ladies ofcourse one after another as they had a different case. One on battery case and another on betray. Both the ladies said that they have children. As instructed by Dasho Drangpon, to give an overview on the case, one seemed to have got frustrated and another so betrayed. One broke into tears and words could not come out of her mouth as it got stroked in her throat. He husband seemed to agree to what she said but he did not agree fully. Understanding this, Dasho let them sit down.

Dasho Drangpon said that their case was not really serious and it can still be solved internally. Dasho further said that court has no authority to either rejoin them or divorce them. It will depend on two of them and their evidences.

But Dasho reminded and cautioned them about who their children will suffer incase if they decide to divorce. He said that most of the children who are not being taken care well after the divorce, the child suffers from mental and psychological trauma in all aspects through out their life. Even if they have to mind to divorce, think of your children and decide well. The court gave both of them ten days to decide on the case and come to the court. But Dasho reaffirmed that their case will not be left like this, even if they solve internally. Based on their consensus internally, the court will issue a judgment t to protect her from further betrayal and deal according to this incase he fails to comply with the agreement.

Those case showed that marriage is not just having sex or for pleasure nor it for fun. It is beyond our reason and uncertainty. The repercussions of marriage are far beyond our control unless both the partners are able to control one’s mind and maintain firm trust as long they are married. The ultimate loss of divorce is to their children.

Thus, I was lost if realm of confusion. Is marriage a blessing or curse? For a moment I was lost in my illusion and I wished they everyone who are on the verge of taking such steps get a chance to come for such event. So that each one will reflect on one’s mind and decide well.

Centenary Farmer's Market: A new outlook

It was just two weeks ago, when I last visited the Centenary Farmer’s Market. It looked crowded and dusty. Rubbish were thrown here and there. All items were mixed and had a tough time in locating what to find where. Momo sellers were seen selling momo and people throwing the
waste everywhere as if they lacked civic sense.

The vegetables were seen unhygienic and scattered everywhere. No one seems to bother the food safety and hygiene for the general public. Media reported on the issue about how the market is being mismanaged after it became functional.
Today, I went there for a vegetable shopping, I was impressed and glad to see that the market was of a total outlook. The vegetables were all seen in one location and fruits on another location unlike in the past where everything was clumped together.
It looked very clean and the stalls were arranged well by the vendors. Few Bhutan Agriculture and Food Regulatory Authority (BAFRA) personnel were seen regulating the market to keep it clean and make sure that everything is in order.
I felt that this has helped both the vendors and the customers to maintain hygiene and sanitation and easy for the customers to locate the things which was not there in the past when the market was managed by Thimphu City Corporation. Thus, Heads off for the Ministry of Agriculture and BAFRA in particular!
This is what we as modern Bhutanese aspire to see in our country.

Diabetes cases rising in Bhutan

 

-->

It was a year ago, when I was a reporter with the BBS, that I filed a report on the life styel diseases and on diabetes in particular. I found out that there were about a total
of about 1000 diabetic patients in the JDWNR Hospital. There was not report of death cases due to the disease. But this today a Kuensel report compiled by Sonam Pelden stated that there were 1,487 registered diabetic patients in Thimphu.

 The report further reported that in “ 2009 annual health bulletin, there were 2,541 diabetes patients nationwide, with 15 deaths last year. From 634 in 2004, it increased to 944 in 2005. In 2006, there were 1,470 cases of diabetes, which increased to 1,732 in 2007.”

 This disease is usually called rich man’s disease because it is mainly due to rich foods taken by rich people. The diet usually contains high fats and glucose. According to Centre for Disease Control (CDC) website, diabetes is Diabetes is a disorder of metabolism—the way the body uses digested food for growth and energy.

CDC describes that “After digestion, glucose passes into the bloodstream, where it is used by cells for growth and energy. For glucose to get into cells, insulin must be present. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, a large gland behind the stomach."

It is thus important for the Bhutanese people to change our lifestyle and eating habits.

Is beauty necessary for the males to love a woman?

-->

 I loved her and my friend loved his girlfriend and so does the story goes on. I fell in love with many girls and women in my life and so did my friends. Some accepted and some did not. We all had one common thing. Irrespective of our age, all my male colleagues seem to take beauty as
the criteria in choosing their beloved ones. I asked to many who got married and everyone agreed that they did consider beauty as number one criteria in selecting their sweethearts.

I asked myself, is beauty necessary thing that I would consider in choosing my life partner? My conscious mind said no, not necessary answered. But my subconscious part said yeah, I will consider that too as one of the primary criteria in loving her, no matter what kind of person I am. And I have now understood that that beauty is one of the most important parts of the any women. Men die in the name of beauty, subdue their ego in the name of beauty. The worst men surrender to fragile lady in the name of beauty. Men would kill his male enemies, deceive his family, oppose his parents, and challenge his teachers, just to listen to his lady because of her beauty.

Does Bhutan's Public Service Motivation strategies enough

Importance of motivation in the public service context
The importance of public service to a society has been there since the human civilization began. From the earliest ancient Chinese empires and Egyptian dynasties to Roman
empires and throughout the middle ages to the present day, the idea of committing oneself to a life of services is reflected with such frequency as to become common places. (Tongo, 2009 )
Studies have found that motivation is the driving force in providing quality and expeditious public service delivery. Thus, motivation in context of public service motivation (PSM) is seen as an important pillar in human resource management. In short, these are documents to make the work more professional, sepcific and provide better platform to exhibit discretionary behaviour.

Concept of Public Service Motivation (PSM) and its effect on organizational performance
Different authors, experts, researchers and public service managers gave numerous concepts of Public Service Motivation (PSM). Motivation is the activation or energization of goal-oriented behavior which can be internal or external. (Wikipedia) Motivation can also be defined as rooted in the basic need to minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure, or it may include specific needs such as eating and resting, or a desired object, hobby, goal, state of being, ideal, or it may be attributed to less-apparent reasons such as altruism, morality or avoiding morality. In the Bhutanese context, motivation may mostly consist of recognition, monetary rewards, training and promotion.



Over the years, PSM has been characterized in many different ways, such as a service ethic, calling, or altruistic intentions that attracts some individuals to serve the public interest. There is a traditional belief among scholars and practitioners in the field of public administration that PSM attract individuals to the public sector and to public service work because it is in these contexts that the public interest is most served. (Bright, 2009)
PSM’s effect on organizational performance
Studies also have shown that individuals strongly motivated to perform public services are huge asset, but they may be difficult to manage if they believe the public service mission is being compromised. Such individuals feel primary responsibility to the people they serve and to the nation and lesser responisbility to public managers and policy makers. It is therefore, important for the policy makes and public mangers need to make bureaucacy more democratic by relaxing rigid bureaucratic strutured, including employees in decision making processes and trying to forge and maintain a broad extensions on what is in the public interest
A research by leonard Bright revealed that PSM is a significant predictor of public employees' desire for personal recognition, task meaningfulness, and professional growth, over and above the effects of several confounding variables assessed. This included management &, salary level and gender were the best predictors of public employees' desire for leadership responsibility, while public sector tenure and minority status were the best predictors of public employees' desire for career advancement.
Universal applicability of PSM
In the United Kingdom, for instance, there was a stronger focus on values such as impartiality and neutrality, while in France the focus was more on the public provision of services.

Studies have shown that PSM that all four of Perry’s dimensions can be found describing the French and Dutch variants. But their research paper also showed that, there were several differences too. For example, the esteem of politicians and consequently, the loyalty to these, differ across all three models.
Antecedents of PSM
PSM has generated particular interest because it is percieved or assumed to have a positive impact on the job behavior of individuals in particular, job satisfaction and fulfilment, and their respective level of performance. It is therefore important that public sector organizations find ways of encouraging PSM amongst its employees. (Camilleri, 2007)
That PSM is significantly related to family socialization, religious activity, and volunteer experience. In depth iinterviews suggest the importance of both transcend values, such as spirituality, doing good for others, and life-changing events, in the development of public service motivation. The study (James L. Perry & etal., 2008) found out that the motivations of exemplary volunteers are quite complex, tied to self-perceptions of a need for personal integrity or wholeness in one’s life, and linked to personal understnading of the importance of community (James L. Perry & etal., 2008)

Implications of PSM in motivating public servants
Today the world is becoming more and more competitive. Every organization aims to target the customer friendly service be it in the government or corporate or private. In such materialistic world, the implications of PSM in motivating public servants are enormous.
It has been taken decades for the human resource function to fight its way to the top and be recognized as a key contributor. However, the function continues a struggle to define it and how it is perceived as evidenced by the use of platitudes such as “strategic partner” or “business partner” to supports its contention that it is a value added activity. (Pilenzo, 2009).
In short, the implications of the PSM are even more as globalization affects more and more people demand a lot of qaulity sevices.

Who is she? Tshering still can't tell

Her voice is soft and gentle. Her speech is articulate. She call me every day and I do respond. We talk of things ranging from love to marriage to becoming family. We talk of life of ourselves turning
into youth from child and now to an adult to parents. We talk of how things should be done at home when we get married. How many children we want. How we will bring up our children.

We talk for hours asking how each other's day have been. often she would ask me whether I trust her, I believe her in what she says. She would ask me I would be with for lfie long or I would desert her after meeting her and after she becomes committed to me. I answer her by saying that " I would definitely stay with her as long as she is committed to me. But i would tell her that it will depend on how she treats me. I  also tell her, instead of me leaving you, it will be you who might leave me after other guys.

We would also exchange views on wealth and power. We talk of each other's life.  As these  events take alomost every day, I started to like her. She does seem to be the same. One common thing between us is that we both were broken hearts and still not being able to get recovered from the wounds someone left on our her. What is the next step still remains a mystery to both of us. May be fate might decide one day. Both of us don't have the slighest idea of each other. We are still strangers to each other yet so intimate and close to each to each other.
We never met till now because we are far away from each other. Lets wait and see the next event.

Dedicated to Deki and Tshering ............. two perfect strangers in this world connected by ICT.

Will Copenhagen help to cut global emission?

The Big Fight will soon be fought in Copenhagen between the under developing and developing countries and the developed countries on climate change.

The Kyoto-Protocol and Bali Action plan did not seem to work because many giant and annex I countries resigned to sign as some conditions were not up to their benefit. However, this time, even US and China agreed to be part of the Copenhagen Summit in a more active and better leader to save the earth from destruction.

There are however, ,many speculations that even the Copenhagen Summit will not be as good as Bali Action Plan or the Kyto Protocol. Analyst and critics still forecast that the developed countries will not sign or rectify or agree to terms and conditions which are scheduled to take place during the summit.

If that is the case, Bhutan as one of the developing countries will have an even greater impact of climate change. Bhutan and most of its neighbours are the receiving end to climate change.

Hope that Copenhagen summit will be better than the previous summits on the climate change.
