The news of fire that killed two innocent boy in Phuntsholing ripped apart my heart into pieces. I was just putting my own children in their situation and it hurts a lot. I could feel my heart freezing in coldness. I can feel their fear and hear their desperate cry for help. At this moment I only wish if that tiny door that decided their fate was left ajar, they could have been saved by the neighbors. Time and again, we’ve seen countless fire disasters and officials don’t take much time to guess the cause of inferno. The victims here are all low-income people and such squalid settlements don’t have proper electrical fittings. Needless to say, even electrical wiring in some of the modern buildings in the capital are poorly fitted and hardly maintained posing great risks to the occupants and to the neighbors. The owners and the tenants should look into such matter to avoid such avoidable mishap. I hope all the victims of this fire disaster get a new home to live. Amid such misfortune, HM and Gyeltsun traveled all the way to Phuntsholing to console all the victims and the victims have every reason to enliven their hope and veil their cruel moment.

"May their soul rest in peace in the realm of Ultimate Bliss. May your HM and Gyeltsun live for eons and may numberless sentient beings receive much happiness and peace from your compassion.”


All are worried and most worried are the people of Khaling. They've been revering this site for many years and too see their place of reverence or worship disappear is something that they can’t even think of. While many theories have been put forward to explain about the plummeting level of once feared Dangling Lake. People believe that it is because of climate change and some believe that it is because the sanctity of Meme Dangling's abode is defiled by the highlanders. I’ve never been to the lake but picture clearly shows that it is shrinking as we can see the lake bed. Meme must be shifting to his new and tranquil earthly abode be it mountain, tree, river, cliff, lake, so on and so forth but one thing is clear he’ll not abandon his worshippers as Meme is our guardian deity. The lake is drying up but our faith isn’t. It’s time to create fresh lake in the heart of every worshippers of Meme so that we remain inseparable with Meme like our body and shadow. It’s time to rejuvenate your faith on Meme. “May his earthly abode regain its natural aura and continue to grant the wishes of the believers.”
