Encounter with People from NHK- No Happiness Kingdom

After two weeks of no communication, I decided to my call wannabe politician and gonna-be bureaucrat friend Ugyen for cup of lukewarm coffee (well, restaurant always sell lukewarm coffee) and chitchat. We had a half an hour chitchat discussing various issues of politics, philosophies, life and books, as we always do, in Yeewong Resturant which is his favourite place for hang out because of the beautiful counter girl. By the way, to my friend, it seemed rotten food serve by this beautiful girl with luscious body is always better than tasty food from some ugly ladies. Anyway, I am just kidding as I don’t want to suffer his Napoleon-oriented wrath.   Over the cup of coffee(if you don’t want to call modified water), he told me that in the capacity of Literary Secretary at Royal Institute of Management, he has   conducted the Quiz and Debate competition   that have not many takers among trainees.

Reincarnations of Gyalse Tenzin Rabgay that I know

-
Many believed the present Gyalse Truelku is the first reincarnation of 4 th Desi Gyalse Tenzin Rabgay. Though I have no information regarding whole reincarnations, I would like to clarify that present Gyalse Truelku is not the first reincarnation of the most influential and powerful Desi. Infact, the present Gyalse Trulku   Jigme Tenzin Wangpo is the 8 th incarnation. I would like to give few names of Gyalse incarnations as I know though I have neither done research nor been disciple of such figure.
