| P.s: To all those who are having a rough day I will recommend a cup of warm green tea. |
Even if it’s just for a day I want to fit in the society, I want to fit in as myself and not someone else. The thing about humans is that we have emotions which are too intensive and we have the least control over it. We don’t feel certain emotions to certain things because we are ordered to do it, it is just spontaneous and so natural and these emotions lead you to the best feeling ever to the worst feeling ever. Will I ever be able to understand my emotions and understand myself better. If that ever happens one day, I want to be less harsh on myself.
As a Bhutanese we are all connected with each other by culture, religion and most importantly by heart, that’s why things in the society functions like a network. Too cliché right, sorry about that but on a serious note I would like to talk about the real network, BHUTAN HOMESTAY NETWORK (BHN). As a pilot project this network will connect the homestays in 4 Dzongkhags (Haa, Wangdue, Bumthang and Chukhha) so that the homestays, HRAB, GAB and ABTO and the guests comes under the radar of BHN. What’s different here is that BHN will function as a community-based organization run by entrepreneurs and it will serve as a common platform for the homestays to develop. It will not only help in guest distribution but also cater to the real needs of the homestays such as capacity building (culinary, house keeping and communication in English and other foreign languages). When such projects are started sustainability is a striking question so we propose to deduct certain fee from each guest distributed to the homestays so that the BHN will function efficiently and provide end to end services.
That’s the idea but there are still lots to do before it is
fully implemented and we hope to connect all the homestays in Bhutan and link
with Regional and International platforms for better promotion.
