Back home two decades ago, the way of these people leading to prosperity and success were envied and they were accused of posing threat to the security and sovereignty of their nation! Beware of the local people of the host country and avoid any form of competition privately. Maintaining high morals and living with commitment to honesty, integrity and truthfullness can lead to victorious life that cannot be mared by the filthy words of the adversaries.
Congratulations for success this season and wish that victory remains in future even in the coming events…
Congratulation boys! You guys have taken the image of Bhutanese to such a height which no people have done ever! I am proud of you.
Congratulations for the victory and thanks to the organizers and those who worked hard to make this end this way.
