If there is will there is way is proven. If we have something experienced it by ourselves, doing anything based on our own experience is not impossible. I was a total meat lover especially beef shakam (Jerky). I felt taking meat was not good considering the sin we commit in the process. I tried to give up meat thrice in the past with this noble religious view. My religious minded friends who could successfully give up meat, tried to help me change my mind by showing various inhuman slaughtering of animals for meat. Despite all those effort, I failed miserably each time when I see shakam, my weakness!! Now after 4-5 years of continuous meat diet, here I am meat sober for past 5 months. Initially I thought I might fail like before and didn’t have guts to pen down my experience. The good thing  this time I don’t have craving  for meat. I don’t feel it missing in my diet. I no longer miss it. This time my reason for quitting meat was nothing like before. In October 2016,...

a reflection on why have chosen to undertake this course and join the information professions  As a school going kid, first office job I encountered was Librarian besides teachers. This was because my Aunty was one of the Librarians in the only Public Library in Bhutan. After 10th Standard, every winter break I used to volunteer at that Library where my Aunt worked. However, after 12th exam, I was qualified for Computer Science.
