Yes, if your guessed it right… I am talking about Bhutan!.
The country of mystical charm and gorgeous natural beauty…. But beyond all this
are its people and their mindset.
During an office meeting with our Bhutan Counterpart, a young, confident and charming lady – Kinzang Lham, I was bound to feel she was actually blessed to have been born in the country of Bhutan. She told me the basics about the people and their attitude towards living life in a certain way. It was fascinating and contrasting to we Indians.
Here everyday we follow a set routine, buzy balancing our life between work and home and even when at home, most of us either watch tv or think what to have for dinner. Our life is limited somehow in this materialistic world… A struggle to be the best, to achieve more, in other words to have more MONEY! The reason behind all this is competition and survival of the fittest. Imagine what it would be like without this competition… how free life would be…no tension, pain, pressure… just simple work to sustain yourself & happiness will follow. Sounding unreal noh!…. But this is a reality when it comes to Bhutan. Bhutanese live simply, work simply, greet simply and believe in healthy, tension free and happy life with FAMILY! This attitude lies in every heart residing in Bhutan, so even the government says “Bhutan’s GDP is HAPPINESS of our people”.
As soon as you land in Bhutan, you’ll feel the change in the air…. the freshness, nature, smiles and colours will sideswipe you thoroughly. An age old charm, modern yet not modernized, just a place to be in. Ok, not getting diverted, I’ll go back to my chat with Kinzang.
Lady is amazed at our work culture here and amazed at how dedicated we are at our work, amazed at how can we work till so late and sometimes even on weekends. ‘We have only one life to live’ those were her words summing the whole thing she wanted to explain to me. I guess she didn’t want to even take tension in explaining all this (;-p... tee hee)....She walked off 30 minutes later, saying today she worked more than what she did in the whole of last month, and she needs a break now. What’s better to rejuvenate than shopping especially when in Delhi. So hope she had a relaxing day, ofcourse not as good as in Bhutan, where every day is a vacation.
With that thought I leave you to think over and ease out a lil bit.
