Actor Tshering Gyeltshen; Someone I admired For the Longest Time

Keta, Tshering Gyeltshen. Pic, from his FB Page

The story began in the late autumn of 2005, when I was a little naughty school boy. I can still remember the setting of the Live Drama he and his team have performed for two schools; Damphu HSS and Damphu LSS. 
It was in Damphu LS basketball court, when I saw Keta Tshering for the first time with his acting team (TGMI) performing a live drama kind of show to staff, students, and some public nearby. I believe it was a kind of awareness created to uplift the power of drama. Anyway, it was an educational outfit. 
I saw his team giving the best live performances ever. I got the feel of what Drama is, and the power of acting. However, towards the end of the program, Keta Tshering gave a closing remarks and the objectives of his show in his best vocal and probably in a very fluent and lively English tune. It was that time, I started to admire and follow his work so closely. As a little boy, he became my immediate idol, and a source of inspiration. He is one of my biggest North Star still today!
Honestly, for most of the students like me, he was better known as "Chapai Bu gi Keta" and his personality over the time perhaps had captured the hearts of everyone around.
Few years back, or so, he was known as "Hingtam gi Keta". The role in the movie, Hingtam had furthermore captured the heart of every person, perhaps in the whole film industry. However, a few years later, the movie "The Perfect Girl" had honestly thrilled the whole nation with a new level of film genre and excitement in quite a culturally preserved country. His role in the movie was another reason to admire even more. Although, the movie was culturally sensitive but it didn't fail to impress the admiration and support of all the audience and all the media houses. I guess the movie was heavily promoted and became a blockbuster, hit of the time. Perhaps, overall it was an educational hit and an eye opening lesson for everybody. 
Through his movie life, I find him a great human being with a great personality and a naturally acting actor in Bhutanese Film Industry. Although an average guy in his height but he still is one of the most good looking and a handsome actor in Bhutanese Film Industry.
With all his great movie personality, as a little school boy, I grew up looking Keta Tshering as my role model. He impacted my life in so many ways. 
I hope he will continue to shine, continue to produce good educational and a good family movie. As he grows old, I love to see him taking up a fatherly role. 
Nevertheless, he is still the heart-throb in Bhutanese Film Industry.

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.

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 ...
