One of the poem written to commemorate the World Poetry Day.

UA: A School of Will

Nestled amidst the cocoon of the wilderness,

through the narrow gorge,

through the indiscernible depth of the sea;

heralds an enigmatic edifice of stone.

A monument so majestic,

a temple to all inquisitives;

thirsty for a word of wisdom

in a quest to quench the soul.

In rhythms and symphonies,

every scholar doth sing;

praises of this magnificient institution;

Ugyen Academy, still at its zenith.
