I witnessed your arrival but
I was not sure why you didn't come for me.
you left us here with the hope that you will be back but I am not sure of your return time.
Everyone knows
the existence of
the vast sky,
yet no one really knows
where to get hold of it.
I look up every day
to your vastness and
only dream to fly
in your arms.
You are the morning,
the day,
the night,
the one who gives me
sunshine and rain.
You change from time to time
breaking and mending me.
If I could
I would love to
float as
your cloud and
fall down as
rain and
snow,
when the sky turns grey.
Or I could be your
celestial bodies
to brighten
your world
with
my stary lights.
I feel blessed to be
under your umbrella
but at times,
I wonder
if you have
any idea of
my existence.
I may not be able to
join you
in body,
but
I will be
the prayer flags
flattering your name.
Or I could be the wind
even though
you won`t be able to see me
my presence will always be felt.
Yes! As soon as you saw the picture you must have said, oh that`s Kezang Dorji. Right?
Yes!!! he is Kezang Dorji, a man who needs no introduction. Most of you must have seen him singing and mostly rapping. I too came to know him through a rap song. His Kuzuzangpo song made me explore more about him. Then saw him on BBC news, wow! A Bhutanese on international news. That made me keep going. When I heard him talk I was like look at him... he talks like Eminem.
I downloaded several of his songs and listened to them and guess what? all of his songs were not just ordinary love songs but there was some deep message which might change the way you look at your life. Most of the rap songs I listen to were to bring down some people. Some even didn't care even if it was their family members. I am trying to compare him with other rappers but it's his plus point that makes him a special rapper. He is a rare kind of soul like he doesn't were animal product clothes nor eat meat. All the things in his house are mostly locally made. Starting from basic things such as cups and plates and even spoons. How do I know all this? Well, I kinda stalked him on Facebook and Instagram. After all, I am his fan.😍
Last year, in 2019 when I got an opportunity to go for 1-week worship at Tashigang I spotted him in the same resort where our training was held. I could not believe my eyes. I was with one of my friends. I told her that, can you see that person isn't he Kezang Dorji? And yes it was... I couldn't pull up my courage to go and talk to him but I really wanted to go and talk to him.
I told my friend to let me take a picture with him. She was a courageous lady not like me. She said ok, let's go. I was so happy that I almost felt I was a kid being granted a wish.
At that time Kezang Dorji was talking was the man, I don't remember who he was...well who cares when all I wanted was to talk with him. We said our hellos and asked if we can take a picture with him. He said yes! We were excited and couldn't hold our happiness that our face almost exploded.
Kezang Dorji said that he thought he saw me somewhere... At that moment I thought to myself, after all this year of following him on social media has given me some credit. I told him I followed him on Facebook and Instagram and commented too.
Our meeting was short but I felt that I could listen to this man for the whole day. The next day we heard that he was going to perform at Sherubtse College. I asked my friends and if they wanted to go and watch his performances. They immediately agreed to my plan.
When we actually reached there, we learned that we have to be in our formal attire and we directly came from our walk-in our sweat pants. We were super excited that we totally forgot about the dress code. somehow we manage to get dresses for us to enter the hall. Before we went inside we scanned through the campus. I must say people didn`t just say Sherubtse gamega for no reason. the structure captured my eyes whereas the roses in the garden my heart.
As soon as we entered the hall, we could sense the excitement from the crowds. In my eyes, everyone was waiting for the show to commence. Then it suddenly started, the moment felt like a dream world. this happens to me every time I get to witness something magical. I was expecting a series of singing and dancing but to my amazement for every song came up with takeaways or values. Kezang Dorji was talking about how we can achieve our dream by working hard for it. He shared his story of how he became what he was today. how he never let his college life to go into vain.
Most of the lectures he gave were all related to every individual present in that hall. He took all of us from the entertainment world to the real world back and forth. he talked about various subjects. He is the kindest living soul from the entertainment world I have ever encounter, not because of his songs and their meaning but of his values, principles, and lifestyle. He has that deep respect, integrity, and love for his mother, passion, work, and the country. He is a vegetarian who is on a healthy diet. He uses only local products, even spoon and cup are made up of wood or of bamboo. And what amazed me was that he was on his extraordinary leave for his Kuzuzangpo 2 tour, where every penny spent was from his pocket.
I Could never be able to describe the great Kezang Dorji because he is even more than all the words put together. I wanted to write about him way before but never got the time to sit and pen it down. I have missed most of the words he shared at Sherubtse College as I lost the recording from my phone but I know for sure that he's the purest soul who keeps on inspiring thousands of youth and even a person like me. If every nonactive Bhutanese has his personality there is no doubt that we only make our King and Country proud.
He has shown us how a boy, who could have taken a different route proved to become a hero. That's why he is my Star. lucky are those who can interact with him daily. I wish may his Kuzuzangppo 3 tour hit the road soon and reaches every nook and corner of our country and beyond.
For me, I felt that his Kuzuzangpo tour is the story of his life and also at the same time touching our lives.
I am thankful to my friends: Pema Chozom, Pema Zangmo, and Lhamo for granting my wish to attend the show. And yes even to Lobzang sir for taking us there safely.
P.S. all of the words written are purely from my view and if I am confused with any information please do correct me la.
Born innocent,
Our sun
First, it passed like the wind,
Exposed our mind to taboos of the world's
culture.
A never heard place suddenly chanted on
every lip, Wuhan!
Then it slowly started to knock on our
neighbors,
Tic toking our heartbeats.
It peeps through our efforts and prayers,
Entered our country unwelcome.
Our spirits plummeted at the thought
of hitting it to our lives.
Just like a miracle, an angel saved us
from Ghastly nightmare.
Our leaders gave us a nonchalant shrug,
They were trawling through every
possibilities.
We became sedentary,
All our doors were meant to be closed.
Yet our radiant Suns,
Kept on shining to bless us.
New normal gave birth to rays of hope,
Every soul was looked after,
Old and new cared with medicines
too.
Young hearts raised to lend a hand,
While others prayed for peace.
At times we were divided by doors,
But connected through our prayers.
We were protected from the unseen creature,
Which was born from our greed.
We have come far altogether,
Every soul lifted by our radiant Suns.
The rays in orange lifted our spirits,
The Moonlight kept us safe,
And Rainbow 🌈 kept us alive.
May it keeps on burning.
Thank you.
If I were to name this flower I would name it as memories because every one of us has a memory with this flower. We plucked it to check if our crush loved us or not.

Dear Zala number 1,
Ken-cho-sum created an extraordinary soul, he had
given every detail his special attention. He wanted this soul to be a unique trademark.
So when he was finally able to put all the wonderful things together he sends them
to earth on the 10th of September in 1992. To a family who always
deserved a reward for their kindness. He has to send her to them because they
were all very special to them, so he decided to keep them together. And that
girl is you Tsheten Zangmo.
Not so far in a place, the girl was also born in the
same year but she was sent littler earlier than you. Yes! That is me. We were the opposite.
Our characters, our attitude, and our way of thinking were very different. We crossed our path when we were investing a
crime (I could say that). We had same experience (pain) the same emotions from
one of our best friends, but at that time we were just hi-bye friends trying to
solve a mystery. Who knew universe was building a foundation for us. I was talking about how ken-cho-sum created you. I
think I am losing track now. Now he felt that if two opposite person are put
together, something great is going to happen. And yes it really did we have
outstanding FRIENDSHIP. He let us meet again at college but this time he wanted
us to be the best of friends. He saw the chemistry how we solved the case of our
school days. So he wanted us to figure out more with our life.
That is how our friendship began. I always have a fling or two meetings, anyone, for the first time but as soon as I saw you, I was flooded with happiness. My
happiness continued to stay forever, even today. I am still struck by your vivacity, humor, and
charm. How can a person be so perfect? I have always had a one or two complains
about my friends (they are going to kill me if they ever read this) but only
good words will be laid for you.
Actually, I not here to wish you on your birthday
but recently I thought why not talk about how I came to meet the birthday
person. So this the reason for writing a not so long letter on your birthday. I
intended to write and post only in the late hours as you will be busy reading
your birthday messages from your other friend during the day and thought that
you would skip reading mine (just joking, I know you will never do that).
So I was telling you how good a person you are
and how Ken-Cho-Sum let us meet as friends. I am wishing and praying him to
give us another chance where we will have our time like before but for forever.
He seems to be busy for now as we could not meet for more than 5 years now.
*This is also our memorable day ( our secret)
I must have done a great deal of hard work and build
up lots of positive karma to have such a wonderful friend. Who could also be called a sister, but I don`t want you to be my sister. As sisters fight and I don`t
want us to do that. Those 4 years of our friendship has only brought positive
changes to me. I am not so social with people but when I was with you, I could
just go with the flow. You showed me how to be calm. I could compare you like
the ocean. As when we try, we threw a pebble in the ocean it just makes the
ripples and come back to its own peaceful state. You are like that, no matter what
I say to you or how rude I was to you would always say it was ok. Your calmness has made this ever ready to
erupt volcano to calm with your nature. You are very considerate of others. You
care a lot. You are extremely helpful regardless of who that person maybe. For me, I would help only those who are in need and whom I think will deserve my help
but you have no such judgment. People know you for your kindness. Whenever I talk
about us and if they know you, they will only say a good thing about you. To see
how great a person you are and I hope you continue to be one. You are hard-working
and take your work very seriously. I remember how you used to do all those
research for your assignments and presentation. It really motivated me. You are
a great cook too (how I miss your cooking).
You have a special seat in my heart I am grateful to
your parents for bringing you so beautifully. Your parents must be so proud to
have a daughter like you.
Now your birthday message, I wish you all the
happiness of the world, the peace of Buddha, and the success of the riches man! May you
live long and continue to spread happiness like you always do. I wish you only
good people in your life and even if you meet a bad person like me, you can
always change them like with your coolness.
And yes, I miss you dearly. Our life has paved into a different path but I hope we will always have a more exciting reunion waiting
for us. I really wish so… love you my
dear friend. When I talk about you ana Sonam Yangzom, ana Rupa and Ugyen
naturally comes to my mind. Hope we all will be able to meet again. Till than
take care. I know you must have had a great day.
Happy birthday!
♥♥♥
Love Kencho
Today is a very special day
as on this particular
day,
10 years ago,
a very interesting,
brave and
talented girl
was born.
Yes! that is
you,
Lekzang
Yeega Choden.
And here I am to wish you
for your birthday!
But first, let me tell you something...
I wanted to
write about you a long time ago as I wanted future me to remember us, but I just
could not get it down. And since today is your special day I wanted to at least express how happy I am to have met you. You brighten my grey and
uplifted my views on how one should never take life so seriously.
We would always
hang out and I never felt the absence of friends. You were always positive
about everything I told you. At some point, I treated you like my younger sister
than a friend. That’s when I started to give you advice (in other words scolding).
I want to treasure our moment and actually wanted to share the video we had
taken when we danced at my house but unfortunately I could not find it, but it
will always be there in my memories. L
I am sure that one day you will make your parents, teachers, relatives and of course our country very proud because you have that capacity and capabilities. I know this because we had 5 years to interact and 5 years is a lot. You will always be there in my prayers. We never know if we can ever have that same time and that same friendship but I will always cherish our flashes.
There were times when we were not in our best friendship mode as I was also your teacher but our bitterness was always covered by our love and care for each other. I still remember how you brought me chocolate and wai wai when I was sick. That chocolate was given to you by someone to you, to have it but you wanted to give it to me. I still feel touched when I recall that day. It was medicine for me.
So here I end here with a message I miss you dearly, hope you miss me too.☺ I wish lots of
happiness, peace, and success for your bright future. Always be that kind soul
ready to help anyone regardless of how they treat you or of their nature.
May Buddha
Bless You!
Love💙💚💛
Your miss Kencho
I don't know what I am doing anymore, everything annoys me, every little things makes me too emotional...I don't know the reason...
I want to run away ...
Somewhere far... don't know where but just want to wonder ...
As this present emotions churns me inside out I am only hoping and looking for an escape route. It would have been easy if I wanted it to be from people but how am I supposed to run away from myself?
What power in the world would make me like everyone else...
