Celebrities to Visit Bhutan

Bhutan is a nice place to visit for celebrities who are sick of attention because Bhutanese don't really celebrate celebrities. Our own actors, singers, writers, journalists, TV hosts, DJs, etc walk among us on the street and nobody cares to say, "Wow, hi, I am your fan" even when they are. Instead we let them pass and watch them from the corner of our eyes.

The Cricket God Coming to Bhutan
Date: Not Decided
 The younger generation who were born near the TV set are a little different, they have the honesty to express their admiration openly but the two celebrities who, I heard, are coming to Bhutan are Bryan Adams and Sachin Tendulkar and therefore the honest kids won't be so excited.

Bryan Adams Coming to Bhutan in 2014
Date: 23rd April
Venue: RTA,Thimphu
Bryan Adams is a musical legend for our generation and older. Our children hardly know about him. His songs are seldom heard anywhere these days, but when we hear one our world stops for a while. Sachin may be cricket god but Bhutan loves football, when Baichung Bhutia couldn't impress our kids so much Sachin can freely walk our streets. Of course Sachin will be coming here as UNICEF Ambassador. 

But personally I am very excited about seeing them live in Bhutan and I know thousand others will be. And interestingly many Bhutanese will wear a different attitude when it comes to seeing international celebrities. Many will show their childish honesty and openly scream "I love you Bryan..." "I am you big fan Sachin..." and our own celebrities will think "Wow, our people are capable that."

Bryan will sing some songs and leave, sachin will hold a bat perhaps and say, "Wash your hand" and go away. In few days dust will settle on normal life. Nothing will be changed. I wish and pray for someone who could change our nation to visit us, inspire us, and leave his footprint in Bhutan forever. And the person on my mind is Mr. Bill Gates. Wait, wait, I am not eyeing his money and his 'World's Richest Man' status, he comes to my mind because of his Microsoft company, Gates Foundation and the countless lives he changed in the developing countries. I have a feeling that he can transform the rural schools over night. For now I only pray that he comes here once. I hope someday he will read the invitation tweets I sent him...(seriously).
Bill Gates, Please come to Bhutan

  1. You actually sent him Tweets (to Mr. Bill Gates)?

    Ya, once I read that Demi Moore was touring some western side of Bhutan and nobody really knew her :) Celebrities should feel safe in Bhutan.

  2. Celebrities in the outside world doesn't just act in a movie and earn fame. Instead, they do interviews, go to charity event, help the people in need, etc etc. Their social engagement makes a huge difference to the fans and people in general.

    In contrary to this, Bhutan as we all know, is a small country, we have a small platform for everything. This limits the celebrities or any people to engage in social activities and earn the respect or the die-hard fans. Thereby, a small recognition for the celebrities although they are much talked about in society because they are in movie, or because they are a Singer.

    It looks like, We need to start up charity Event ;) where work and fame can go together :D

  4. Most celebrities have a tough life. They are hardly ever at home and they have to make do with what is available on the route or what the town has to offer.

  5. December 25th turned into the point of convergence of this load of festivities in light of the fact that the Roman Head Aurelian had significantly sooner proclaimed that the agnostic celebration of natalis solis invicti (or birth of the un-vanquished sun) ought to happen on that date starting in the year 274 A.D.
