The Real Hero

William Carr Crofts who was born at Bradford, Yorkshire in 1846 was an English architect by profession, who was a nature born photographer and a lover of music.

Photography is a medium in which an artist express his or her feelings just like a love letter to a girl. It is also the means of communication in silence. It usually speaks more than what is merely captured with the artist thoughts.
He was truly a modern master of fine art photography. He has touches and still lives in millions of heart across the world as one of the pioneer in photography. He had given the strong sense of what actually is the art of photography and its essence in all his photographs.

He said, ‘it is the intent of the artist to articulate the world that the subject cannot say in its own voice. It is within nature, that the beauty lies. But, it is the artist who stops time and interprets the gift of beauty for all to enjoy in any fraction of time’.

Unlike others, every images he captured has meanings and can speaks in silence as beings. The most powerful images are the ones that has an element of surprise in them, the one that has total dynamic meanings for every individual while upon looking. Thus, his images are no exception as it stands as one of the most considered classic examples of nature photographs still today in many art museum gallery.  What made him different, unusual and modern was his interpretation of the nature through photographs. Moreover, he had taken always one step further than anyone to understand the beauty of nature.

The way he had captured every single image of nature had made me so close with his photographs. Every time, I catch hold of my camera I think his powerful images that in a way horn my skills to better photography world. While simply clicking some of his photographs made me think that he was born truly to be a great photographers. His skills are inordinate and exceptionally powerful in creating scenic beauty of nature.   

As he had dedicated his life to travel the world and capture images of all kinds, I am thoroughly touched by his patience for photography. Although we can't live up to like him in the field of photography risking and sacrificing every seconds of life but at least we can aspire our self that photographs always speaks in silence and carried bags and bags of meanings in itself.   

Although, 'photography is a rich man’s hobby', but it's not always true. It is not in any kinds that good photographs only comes with expensive gadgets and the lens. But I believe it is all to do with how we think and plan to take a shot. And the other key elements in photography is how we use our own eye lens and the patience to enjoy with nature.

He had travelled the world in the same way as everyone but he had captured the images no one had seen and captured and that made him so rich and unique. As a photographer he only knew how to keep world in lens because there isn’t any great things than so called nature in this world.

Through his art of photography he had respectfully earned the title of last man standing. His main intention of photography is to promote, preserve and respect the beauty of nature forever and ever.

Although, the path of a master is absolutely solitary one. But, my hunt and quest for a photography will never be less either.

The Story of Malika Chand.

There lived a schoolteacher named Malika Chand. She loved teaching and treated her students as she would, her own children. Nurturing their potential with great kindness. Her perennial motto was, 'Your,  I can is more important than your,  IQ .' She was known throughout her community as a person who lived to give. Who selflessly served anyone in need? Sadly, her beloved school, which had stood as a silent witness to the delightful progress of generations of children, succumbed to the flames of a fire set by an arsonist one night. All those in the community felt this great loss. But as time passed by, their anger gave way to apathy and they resigned themselves to the fact that their children would be without a school. "What about Malika?"   "She was different, an eternal optimist if there ever was one. Unlike everyone around her, she perceived opportunity in what had happened. She told all the parents that every setback offers an equivalent benefit ...

Golden Words Of King Jigme Singye Wangchuck

King Jigme Singye Wangchuck "...in particular, speaking for myself; my sorrow in having lost my own father is indeed very great. What is more the country has lost a king whose kind has till now never been known..."                                                                ( Royal proclamation to the people of Bhutan, July 26, 1972)                                      "...as far as you, my people, are concerned, you should not adopt the attitude that whatever is required to be done for your welfare will be done entirely by the government.

My Concept Of Central School

Everyone felt happy in the beginning with the inception of central school idea and few happy moment to those who've been profited. Whereas, it was not so pleasing for some – students, teachers and parents. My concept of central school is different. Different in the sense, I want it to be a  'MODEL SCHOOL' . Why can't we merge the same idea into a 'Model School' with better policies, correct curriculum, best teachers and facilities in places? Here I'm not to aver among students but to put a sense of competition and the values of education. According to our present population and the school going child ratio it is not necessary to earn many central school in a dzongkhag. Let us plan for less, better and reliable school for sustainable Bhutan. How far shall we wait for  'DONATION'  after  'DONATION'  just to run our system of education or any other offices or are we just for donor driven system to be in place?  What if...
