Bribing? Are you out of your mind? Just don’t write for the sake of writing. I am not even promoting my film. I made a short film which will not be released in the theatres. It’s not a commercial film. I think I made a good serious film. If I wanted to make commercial films by now I would have made about five to six. I stuck to what I wanted to do. I wanted to make serious cinema than what you find right now in the market, a small piece of broken mirror from the Bollywood’s vanity bag. Thought that Opposition leader is interested in films. I just wanted to be appreciated and encouraged. By the way, the short film was funded by Unicef and YDF (Producers). Check your own integrity before you write something. I directed and wrote the film. My name is Tashi Gyeltshen (TG). If you (who wrote about bribing!) have anything to say please let me know.

I have watched the girl with the red sky and just like the maker of the film says…it lets you feel HIV AIDS rather than just telling you about it. I think theres a huge difference between the two.

Blogging is the most happening medium of expression lately and believe me.. people do take it seriously…i follow quite a few blogs regularly and similarly many others must be doing it as well. I wish our MPs would also follow and take up the issues presented here seriously and act…now that all their demands have been fulfilled…they are so empowered to serve the people. We are all waiting…

Dear Salamani: Thank you.

Dear Anonymous: Some MPs already know. The government too. FYI I've raise every important issue in the blog with the government. See the next post, written after i received a response from the RCSC.

Enjoy

hi
i have a good suggestion. why dont you bring up this issue of blogging…tell fellow MPs ..”guess what? i wrote this on my blog and i get these responses..ain’t it cool?” ..maybe other guys will also try Blogging and Bhutan’s Politics can go to a next level.
I really think others should follow your steps of Blogging. I was shocked and disappointed at the News report of MPs not being allowed to bring along Laptops because, the speaker is believed to have said, they play games!!!! .. I’m sure these reporters lied or those who interpreted lied…i say that because BBC didn’t get the name of the speaker right.tashi delek

Dear Mr. Opposition Leader,

Blogging works! I'll be honest. Generally, to most people, you come across as very egocentric and full of yourself. I am sure you know that. And many people are put off by just that alone - and don't want to know you any further.

Through your blogs, however, we are beginning to see how you are interested in carrying this country forward in a sensible intelligent manner. You have an opinion on every issue thats important for our society and country - and they are followed by suggestions.

I voted DPT in the last elections, but it could have gone either way since my MP candidates were both good, had good foresight and conducted themselves in a cordial manner.

I wish more of our MPs had an opinion at all, period. What is with this constant obsession with ME ME ME - Patang, Kabney, car, driver, pay raise, more pay raise???

Do keep blogging - its a good way to connect with the people. And gives people a chance to see your human side as well.

Now please go and do some hard-core opposition!

Good luck.

It’s not yet released, sir. But I had a private screening. If Your Excellency is interested, I can always arrange a scareening. I didn’t know that your were interested in films. Any serious film buff or anyone interested in serious cinema will, I am sure, enjoy my short film. I’ll definitely let you know la. Thank you.

Anonymous-1: When will use release “A Girl with a Red Sky”. It sounds interesting. And the issue is important. Well done.

Anonymous-2: I’ll look into the difficulties of screening movies in the Dzongkhags.

We don’t get much to watch our films in the Dzongkhags. And when the producers bring in the movies they are being harassed by the Dzongkhag Authorities to complete formalities. Everyone feels that a seperate approval in each and every Dzongkhag need not be sought once the film is certified by the censor board.

Sorry, coudln’t resisit. here comes one more.
We don’t realise how important stories are. And all art tells a story. Storytelling may be the most important civilising factor of our species. Stories are the glue of cultural heritage, passing on traditions, histories and social mores. Stories give meaning to our lives. It helps us define heriosm, leadership, responsibility, love-all the ideals that guide our actions. Withoput stories there are no heroes, no leaders. A story is a metaphor for life. All socities have both revered and reviled the story tellers. Looking at the media today, have we changed? Bhutan must take art together with economic development. In this modern materialstic world art provides much of the truth. What’s the use of being developed when we are shallow? The human soul gets its nourishment from the art. And cinema is a form of art. Thanks.
