Dr Kabo Tshering, “was well read and having experienced living in British India, he maintained a lifestyle that was far ahead of his time in Bhutan.” Stories of how our Second King would indulge the Bhutanese medical doctor and overlook his lifestyle are recorded in the “Medical History of Bhutan.”  According to the authors of the book, Drs Tandin Dorji and Bjorn Melgaard, “Even King Jigme Wangchuck, who was known to be firm and rigorous regarding driglam namzha (etiquette) often indulged in and overlooked his lifestyle. He was one of the few allowed to smoke in His Majesty’s presence. Born in 1916 in the small village of Pajakha in Haa, Dr Kabo Tshering is the second western-trained biomedical doctor of our country.  In 1939, during the early days of the Second World War, he was admitted in the Campbell Medical School in Calcutta.

My college journey was very stressful and scary for me. So many questions crossed my mind. Was I ready? Was I prepared? Did I know where I was going? Did I have all my resources? So many things. I felt I had chosen a wrong program. Hearing social work programe for the first time and got enrolled without any idea about the programe is something I worried. The social work course was introduced in 2018 and 36 of us were first batch. Some friends told me it's kind of counseling course. And my village people assume as teaching programe since I got in Samtse college. None have known the new BASW program even my self.

 I think University is difficult at any age. For me, there have been highs, and there have been lows that at times, have left me wondering whether or not I should have accepted the challenge. It's just a fact of life that people can know our personality just by looking at us, and seeing how we act around different people. Some would act differently from others that's just how we are. We may act quiet and subtle around our family but around our friends we feel boisterous and loud. Some cover up true personality sometimes just to appease other. They don't want to show their true colors in case it leads to embarrassment. And some don't voice true opinion and just go with the flow and don't stand up to be counted. From a personal point of view I feel that I am sometimes like this. I am not shy most of the time and can be a bit irritating for some of my friends, but that's life!
