The Real Druk Superstar

-
This Sunday, the nation will select one singer as the Druk Superstar out of five remaining contestants. Three male contestants and two female contestants will go all the way out to win the superstar title. Going by public opinion, Karma Phuntsho seems to be favourite closely followed by other two contestants. But twists and turns in commercialized reality singing competition is not new. Anything can happen. For me all the five contestants are talented in their own ways. I must say they really have forte of their own talents.
 For me, none of the five contestants will be superstar. They may win the title but they will not win my heart. An eliminated contestant has won my heart. I am sure he has won many more hearts. He is Tshering Penjor, an amiable and lively man who brings smiles to other’s faces. I didn’t know his heart is golden till he announces that he pledged Nu. 5000n from his Nu.25000 prize money for the kidney patients. His action spoke more than the amount. This action moved the heart of organizer who increased the prize money by another Nu.5000. It moved me to tears. Believe me, till that day I have never cried for any eliminated contestant.
Just after the show, a businesswoman called up to award Tshering Penjor ngultrum 25000. Tshering Penjor didn’t win the title but he won many hearts.

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. He bemoaned the fact that some of the to-be-bureaucrats cannot recall the ...

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. Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel had two sons; one biological son and one spiritual son. The biological son was known as Gyalse Jampel Dorji while spiritual son was called Tenzin Rabgay. The prefix Gyalse or Prifix to Tenzin Rabgay was added since he was the spiritual heir. Gyalse Jampel Dorji was born to Gokar Lhamo and Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel. On other hand, Gyalse Tenzin Rabgay was born to Damchoe Tenzin and Tshewang Tenzin in 1638 A.D at Tango. Damchoe Tenzin was 1st consor...
