PaSsu Diary: A Journal of an Ordinary Bhutanese
This is an extraordinary journey of an ordinary man. The book chronicles the journey in an emotional, funny, sad, happy, contemplative, and all the moods as raw as that of human's. It is an anthology of blog posts, and this is in its own way a first of its kind. Blog posts are carefully selected and editorial hands and refinement had enhanced the richness of the prose and stories. As you read through the book, you can feel the writer evolving from a young and energetic teacher into a wiser, dynamic and charismatic social entrepreneur. Some of the articles are reflection of ordinary events as they occured; some are the storage of revolutionary ideas; some are controversial proposals (Like the one which proposes the idea of planting 108 trees instead of hoisting prayer flags during funeral). This book will appeal to young and old alike. Young will find the visions and motivations that might totally transform their life forever. Old will rejoice the celebration of life and places and memories. Of all, I loved Jigme's morning speech. It rekindles warmer side of human relationship and unconditional love between a son and a father. If you haven't read this book yet, grab a copy and read it. Yes, you can order the book using this very website. Happy reading.
As I am, so is my nation
"The size of our universe is the size of our mind."
This is one book I read over and again. It has everything a good book offers. The measured and rhythmic language is a literary feast. An ideal bigger than the book. The celebration of life of a nation and an individual. The idea of how a nation is a collective reflection of individuals. As I am, so is my nation.
How fast you can finish reading this book depends on what you would like to take-away. If it is for the poetic language, you can read it away in a sitting. But it has bigger things to offer. The idea of Bhutan at her best. This, what I believe, is what Bhutan is and would look like at her best. I prefer to read it as a prayer book -- read a sentence and contemplate. They are profound, contemplative, and meditative.
