GNH over GDP

Below are the flaws Robert F kennedy found out in GDP......


what GDP counts
Air pollution
cigarette advertising
ambulances to clear highways of damage
locks for our doors
jails for ppl who break them
destruction of the redwoods
loss of natural wonder in chaotic sprawl
napalm
nuclear warheads
armored police cars to fight riots
guns and knives
tv programs which glorify violence.


what GDP doesnt count
the health of our children
quality of their education
joy of their play
beauty of our poetry
strength of our marriage
intelligence of our publice debate
integrity of our public officials
our will
our courage
our wisdom
our learning
our compassion
our devotion to our country
in short he said,"GDP measures everything in short,except that
which makes life worthwhile."as quoted by former USA president
Robert F kennedy.

Thats why GNH.:)

Beyond my Eye

There are pictures of HM that has touched the inner core of my heart,like the ones where he embraces a shabby old man and where he cooks for children that were vulnerable to natural calamity, The photo of HM playing football bare feet with school students and many more...and there are pictures that just bring smile on your face..


There was this picture on facebook where HM had tikkas on his forehead during dassian (a hindu festival);... i was staring at it and it didnt evoke any breathtaking moments but what caught my eye was the enormous no. of comments.Thats when i realized that this time it was the lhosampas that were going through the emotional moments.

"every culture of every people is the culture of his majesty,, coz he lives in one ness,,DRUKPA.."commented by lox galey

"Happy to see you King treat them equally Hope you have three eyes to see us" commented by Ghana Shyam.

After reading this,i saw what i couldnt see in the beginning.This picture meant alot to them and now also to me....HM can see what we cannot...After all,One Nation One People....:)
