As if a cryptic fate has decided the events of his life, suffering is all that Dorji endures. Life is something he loved and enjoyed in the innocent beginning, but suffering begins soon after his mother and brother passed away, rather early. At home, problems aggravate when his father remarries, though his stepmom is kind; his father can't support him financially. In the schools, his teachers single him out, and his friends ignore him. People in the town look down upon him, and the situation gets pathetic back at home. A cruel fate clings to him, making his life more miserable after marriage. He is blessed with a daughter and then a son, but Rinchen suffers a congenital disease. The hospital becomes the second home for his baby boy who undergoes as many as eight surgeries, but he never regrets. Rather, he and his better half Choki treat their son Rinchen with the greatest care. Through thick and thin, through laughter and tears, he does everything he can to keep his son alive. He wonders how long he needs to endure his prosaic life. Can he expect a day to dawn when he would smile upward and thank God for a lovelier life? Only God knows...
Surely love is the greatest phenomenon across the world; do you think love would truly be the best without a child in a family? A child is a wonderful asset that realizes parental dreams! A child transforms a man into a responsible person! Neither man nor woman would understand the meaning of life without a child. A mother is the homemaker but wouldn't succeed without a child. A child brings happiness to the parents. A home is a sweet home in the presence of a child. There is no substitute for a child; nothing can bring as much happiness as she/he does. And there is no everlasting happiness in our lives without a child. Property and money can provide only ephemeral joys but a child brings perpetual happiness to the home! Parents are content if the child is physically healthy and mentally sound. Who would like a child who is abnormal by birth? And who would not be unhappy to have a child with a congenital disease? Many would consider such a child quite a burden; at least we understand the value of humanity. And what can be worse than death? Although I am the father of a child with a congenital disease, I never lost any hope for him but rather am much worried about death. To keep him alive, my wife and I have gone through strangest experiences and purgatory. Ultimately, we sacrificed all that we had and put every effort to save our poor little son from that so-called all-trouncing death! Who in the world wouldn't want to have a child? Indeed every father and mother loves to have one. I write this book as a history of my hard earned accomplishment after I underwent the utmost predicament that probably no one ever faced. I share my lifetime of miseries so that every parent would understand their child better. What one can do for another is the ultimate test of power. What we can suffer for the other is the sterling test of love.
DEATHBED is the story of a young boy suffering from a tender age. In the budding stages of life, his mother and his little brother pass away. Life becomes miserable after their demise. Born in a boondock where people with uncanny orthodox beliefs and prejudices, the character depicts some funny incidences of bereavement. The story takes us to a real scene of realistic mortality. For a young boy meeting unforeseen adversity is unbelievable.
Stories for Fun is a collection of five short stories. In the first story, 'Like Father, Like Son', EGO and ARROGANCE destroy the relationship of two brothers. They exhibit bad examples to their sons. The story 'Egg and Hen' portrays both the characters as self-centered. They want to know who came first. 'Ideal Boy' is a story that portrays the character of an ideal boy. God rewards him for his refined disposition and traits. In the story 'Porcupine and Elephant,' the elephant tries to prove that he is the most ferocious of the king of the jungle, but find out what the porcupine does. The last story 'Why Doves Coo?' is all about the doves; the family dies at the hands of a wretched man, except for the youngest daughter dove. Her reaction gives a great message to us. Each story is between 200 and 700 words long.

The tiny Kingdom of Bhutan, at the eastern end of the Himalayas, nestles between the giant nation states of China and India. Often called the "Land of the Thunder Dragon," it remained secluded until recent times—the first ever "tourist" set foot in Bhutan in 1974 and was followed by the introduction of television and new technology at the turn of the 21st century. In 2008, Bhutan became the world's youngest democracy, moving from an absolute to a constitutional monarchy in a historic change initiated by the revered and much-loved Fourth King, Jigme Singye Wangchuck. A sovereign country throughout the ages, Bhutan is now establishing its place on the world stage and demonstrating leadership on climate and environmental issues. It is determined to maintain its Buddhist culture and way of life as it evolves and adapts to political change and economic challenges. Its unique development policy of "Gross National Happiness," which measures progress not through material gain but on a happiness scale, is generating global interest. The abundant hospitality of the Bhutanese, the variety of Bhutan's ancient monasteries and colorful festivals, and its near-perfect ecosystem and natural beauty never fail to reward the traveler. Culture Smart! Bhutan will give you a deeper insight into the country's history, values, and customs, as well as practical guidance on how to develop a meaningful rapport with the Bhutanese.
