I realized it late, I was growing up to be someone who would not plan things but venture and bump into things.But then I always wanted things to be this way.
Today, I am a year and 3 months and 4 days old and am here: Saraswati Sundas from Thimphu
When I see this byline and I think serious, I recall, the early days of my training sessions where I seated amongst journalism graduates wondered if my English honors degree would do me any good..now when i look back..I wow.
Overtime, I have seen us( myself, Lucky Wangmo, Sonam Pelden), others had already worked with other papers but three of us were the only freshmen( or do we call fresh-women) growing in our profession. So far, Lucky and Sonam has given the paper some very impact stories from the organ donation campaign to raising allowances to educated unemployed youths, they had done their bits..for me: apart from my BBS story that sensationalized the whole issue, the only achievement I can boast of is about my story http://www.businessbhutan.bt/?p=1343 which was unexpectedly nominated for the Media awards.
Deep down, I still feel I can write .I always loved writing and kept telling my friends that someday I would write a novel..(when), I haven't decided on that but I feel it might just come true..
But for now, I just want to focus and become a good reporter. I must confess- I always regretted not having opted for journalism but now that I have this job, I would. I do not think I have given my 100% so far but then I am trying....Aby sir, has been a inspiration throughout and he has been telling us Business Bhutan reporters to blog and this is my first attempt to be a writer like him..I hope it works!!!
