“Dear OL,” (And mine is meant without venom or sarcasm or racism or enviousness or covetousness or with jealousy or feigned-reverence…Its just that…because ours is a small community and we all know each other somehow: relatives, kith, kin, friends et al.

So once more, may I re-assert that sincerity by saying again, “Dear OL, Please Keep Blogging. It Has Done More For Social Discussions And Participation On Topics/Issues That Would Otherwise Be Available To Only a Select Few. It Has Done And Does Wonders. Please Keep Writing…

I Read Amitabh Bachchan’s Blog…I Liked Him As An Actor But After Reading His Blogs (Which He Religiously Updates) I’ve Come To Love His Writing. The Blog Now Has Confirmed Some Of The Qualities I Was Sure He Was Born/Bred With: Humility, Dignity, Principled, Grounded, Open-Minded And Many More.

I’m Sure “That Kudrung” Would Agree That Amitabh Isn’t The Most “Free-Person” Around Yet He Makes Time, Neither Is Bill Gates..Yet He Does/Makes Time For Philanthropy….And Michael Moore.

The Point Is This: What’s Wrong With Anybody Who Decides To Share a Platform With The Public-At-Large For “Engaged-Discussions?” Isn’t That The Whole Purpose?

We Should Be Glad We Have The “Opposition Leader” Giving/Bringing/Maintaining a Blog-site Wherein He Updates Issues Regularly.

Now Why Don’t You, Dear Kudrung, Join-In/Open-Up One Of Your Own And Encourage Your Mates To Do The Same.

Its About The Moon…Not The Finger Pointing At It!

Thanks for the clarification and I wish you well.

I TOO ENVY THE OL, but for different reasons:

I envy him for his unconditional commitment to protect and safeguard our Constitution. I envy his ability to raise and contribute meaningful discussions on important issues at National Assembly, BBS live discussions, and media news articles. I envy his courage to disagree and expose the wrongdoings of the powerful and influential people in the government. I envy his courage to oppose the powerful ruling party on important issues like CDG, media intimidation, etc.. And most of all, I envy his commitment to maintaining this blog which I feel is a great public service. I work late and sometimes I see OL’s articles appearing on his blog late at night – sometimes past mid night. This shows that, for the benefit of general public, he is willing to work hard and invest all his free time in maintaining this blog. It is through this blog that we get to learn and participate in discussions on many important issues being raised in National Assembly. This blog also informs the public about the shortcomings of the ruling party and the government, and the OL’s own views and comments on important issues. Because of media’s dependence on government, some of the important issues raised in this blog do not appear in newspapers and BBS programs. If Kudrung is one of the MPs, by discrediting OL’s blog, I wonder if it is a part of the DPT’s conspiracy to hide and evade important issues and their shortcomings from the general public – after they have successfully banned BBS live telecast of the NA sessions.

If we remember what our beloved King said in his speech at the concluding ceremony of the 3rd NA session, Kudrung’s article holds no credibility. HM said: “The Opposition, though comprised of only two members, has through diligence and commitment fulfilled the important duties of the Opposition Party enshrined in the Constitution.”

OL, don’t let such petty minded people discourage you. You are doing okay. Keep up the good work of informing the people and the nation of the truth, and continue to carry the voices of the concerned citizens, for the greater good of the nation.

we expect our leaders to work as one and not act like enemies; act as prudent citizens of our country with an extra responsibility vested on them.

So I was right.

The recent Kasho has proved that parliamentarian don’t read, and have not read or understood the Constitution.

The way the Speaker was leading the discussion I was in a serious doubt that even he had not read the Constitution. I had no doubt on you and PM. I have mentioned this earlier too.

Isn’t this a shame? Whatever we say or think our MPs are our leaders or some are future leaders. And here we have an MP (I hope you got the IP address right) thinking that the OL is only chatting on the computer and wasting his time away.

* STOP BITCHING*
Your letter is a proof of your incompetence. I concluded half way through your letter that you are too immature. You have an absolute lack of consideration that others might be smarter than you or simply efficient in their time management. You have a very negative perception about how you view things. Do yourself a favor: Learn from the wise.

*TAKE RESPONSIBILITY*
Have confidence in what you think is right and in what you have to say. Own it. Don’t hide behind nicks and throw about criticisms how others are faring well. When it back fires, you’ll be so ashamed that you would wish to shed your skin for good.
Learn to appreciate. In my opinion, the OL is doing a great job in trying to be accessible. He is a wise man, and a brave one. He owns what he says. And he welcomes feedbacks. Take that chance, and tell him he is wrong. Prove it to him but own what you have to say.
There is an old Bhutanese saying; “If you eat the onion yourself, it will burn your nose, if you see others eating it, your eyes will burn”. Hope you are not the sad case here.
Oh shoot.. this reminds me of another wise piece my teacher once told me :
Dung karpo karwi rangshin la, khong tsheyney chen gi serbu thong”
Don’t panic.. it’s in Dzongkha. It simply means… “To the Jaundiced eyes, the all natural white conch shell appears yellow”
That’s enough lesson for you today. See..? You got a ton of lessons for free from your nonsensical letter. Come up with your own blog and perhaps you’ll learn more.

Peace
