ART & ENTERTAINMENT
THE QUEEN OF CLASSICAL MUSIC
Kelsang Chuki Tethong unlike many of her contemporaries was raised in a musical family. He confessed that her musical family has contributed much to her musical passion and talent. Her journey into the world of music began very early in life; it was a matter of destiny rather than a choice. Strangely for her, her true passion of music and singing deepened and aroused much later in her life when she give up the music.

ARTSCAPES
FITS OF CREATIVE MADNESS
WHAT IF? Says the ruminating Ugyen Choephel. In simple terms, he is not an ordinary painter. He is unusual and unique. He is a painter with flair of creative imagination and a person who dares to think and to experiment beyond the

conventional boundaries. It is surprisingly strange that a person who was apprenticed to be a Thangka painter ended up becoming a modern art painter, a photographer and one who plays with digital photos. That too a school of art in whose tradition the highest epitome of genius is defined in creating new strokes of expressionism.

The pitch and tone of words of accusations were almost similar to the mad years of the Cultural Revolution days. As a Tibetan I felt betrayed and snubbed. I am sure most of the Tibetans felt the same.

As a Tibetan refugee, having had to leave my home in Tibet unwillingly at the age of five and then to make a perilous flight journey across Himalayas in search of education and to meet the Dalai Lama, I can empathize with Tibetans in India, in western countries the frustrations of exile and its pains.

FEATURES
Scotland and Tibet on Autonomy

Autonomy today has become a much clichéd word signifying umpteen numbers of connotation, denotation and simultaneously permeating plethora of debates. Living in Scotland, I am enamoured by the successful thriving of autonomy here. His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama has admitted to being inspired by the Scotland Model and presuming Tibet’s autonomy in the similar paradigm, I can only vouch for Autonomy, God willing it is as pristine and compatible as the Scottish Autonomy.
