Talent & Entertainment, my life line. I am a Comedian. I like making people laugh. There is a saying that Lha(Gods), Dey(Demons), Mee (Humans) Sum, all have the same behaviors so if something is funny to people, it is funny to gods and demons too. Everyone laughs and is happy. Like an Atzara, when he wears [...]

Just like the Ying and the Yang are two opposite and different things but complement each other, so are the two characters in the Film who are two different people but somehow complete each other even though they don’t know it initially. Tshering is a police officer who is having problems at work since a convict [...]

Review : Sem Gawai Tasha

01 July 2010

The Film subtly but assertively defines the exploitation of young, talented, unsuspecting village girls who are lured into the comparatively glamorous embrace of drayangs and Thimphu City. A very personal opinion is that this is an intelligently made Film which serves both the purposes of entertaining the audience with the regular “masala” commercial combination of comedy, [...]

Music must come out spontaneously as an expression to a given situation and emotional experience, and therefore, we cannot really decide as to when to create music. Personally for me, it was little before I joined Sherubtse College in 1988 that I started to compose and sing “Jigten Zamling Nangka”- “In this World”, after going [...]

Beyond Borders – Namkha Lhamo

I enjoy singing outside Bhutan because it is well received by the foreigners.  They say that it helps them heal their mind; they meditate when we sing and always say that our songs calm their nerves. Our custom dominates the crowd in a way.
