As the history unfolds itself unto 100 years of unprecedented peace and prosperity, a furor of unwavering faith and trust bequeathed from the golden throne is being heralded, revitalized and further strengthened. Drukyul, perched high up in the Himalayan Mountains, is indeed graced and protected by the legendary deities, adorned with pristine flora and fauna. It is the only country to witness such an epoch, a feat, so pious never ever witnessed hitherto, where his majesty, the fourth Druk Gyalpo Jigme Singye Wangchuk relinquished his absolute power to his people and abdicated his throne. It certainly has a great impact upon the future generations to come where Drukpas were once the blessed with ensconcing peace under the grandeur of the Wangchuck kings.

Her shaking hands and arthritic fingers from the passing of time were holding the record player’s metal arm. The stylus hopped, moving lightly and quickly over damaged grooves from excessive use, landing very deep in the vinyl recording.
