Kuzuzangpo and Welcome to my page…
This is a page where I tell you some things about my self. Well, I’m from Bhutan, a Kingdom that is in-between Tibet to the North and India to the south.
So who am I? I am a simple Buddhist from this wonderful kingdom, Bhutan where Gross National Happiness is the very essence of our simple and human existence. Religion plays a major part in our daily life. While, it is extremely difficult for me to pray / sit still or even meditate, I enjoy trekking to monasteries and temples where the very physical accomplishment of my trips reminds me of life’s impermanence, which further enhances my desire to be a better human being.
Through out my education and my working career, two things that continue to draw my attention are designing websites and photography. The first website that I designed was for my mom’s travel agency – Bhutan Lhayul Tours & Travels. So if you ever want to visit Bhutan and come through her, you could possible possibly meet me, as I sometime accompany her when she meets you during one of the Bhutanese dinner in which she interacts with her guest ( and trust me, she really looks after them really well that they come back again)
Oh.. and not to forget, I love to take photographs! This is my hobby that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Well.. in part, it also keeps me from being a ‘potato couch’. I love movies and without something to do I can sit for hours and just watch serials such as ‘24’, ‘house’, ‘friends’.. and so on…
I did start photography early on but it wasn’t till July 2008, that I finally bought a Canon 50d SLR. And so here I am taking photography as a serious hobby. Click here to see photos on Bhutan from my collection.
Here is one of my favorite quote: If a picture's worth a thousand words,
how many dollars is that?
By Andrew Hudson
Here are two of my favorite jokes:
Women are like telephones, they like to be held, talked to, but the moment you press the wrong button you’re disconnected.
A man told his wife that men are like wine, the older you get the better they are. The next day, the wife locked up the man in the cellar.
Education
I finished my bachelor’s degree in Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi and my Masters degree in Environmental Engineering the from the University of Melbourne. I was one of the lucky few to be selected for the prestigious Asian Development Bank (ADB) Scholarship at the University of Melbourne from which I graduated in December 2009 with First Class Honors.
Career
- I am currently am working with the Royal Government of Bhutan as the district environment officer of Paro District, Bhutan (since 2007)
- Worked in the National Environment Commission as a Senior Environmental Officer (2006 – 2007)
- Worked in the Royal Audit Authority as Head of the Technical Section (2002 – 2006)
- Worked in the Ministry of Education as a civil Engineer (2001)
As the District Environment Officer of Paro, I am happy to say that under the initation by the Hon'ble Deputy Minister of the National Environment Commission, I was responsible for coordination and mangement of the establishment of the Pet Bottle Plant Unit in Paro which was successfully set up by 21/2/2009 coinciding with the 29th Birthday of His Majesty the 5th King. (The cost was fully contributed by the business community of the District).
Well… that’s about all I have to say!!
