MI
Message from Amrith
Dear Tashi sir,I also would like to join my friends in wishing you a very very peaceful life after several years of selfless contributions to the lives of the visually impaired Bhutanese either directly or indirectly. You have really been a great source of inspiration and encouragement for us and we owe you immense gratitude for what we are today.
I still remember when I first joined MI in 1990, you were the principal figure in charge of our general welfare apart from being a regular teacher. I personally feel grateful for kindly helping me cope with academic life throughout my early school days. I can never afford to forget those days when you took us on trekking to Rigsum Goenpa in Trashi Yangtse in 1992 and other local visits you initiated during our exam breaks.
More than a teacher, you were our parents who had a special sense of care and concern for us. Some of the jokes you had shared with us and the some of the funniest names you used to call us with such as ‘Ratu’ for me, ‘Serkong’ for Serpey, etc. still linger in my memories afresh.
You were really one of the most important persons in the institute that made all of us feel at home.
Your contribution to the invention of Dzongkha Braille codes also deserves our equal gratitude and appreciation because had it not been for your commitment and hard work, we might not have got the opportunity to study Dzongkha language.
So, from the core of my heart, I pay you respect and honour your unwavering commitment to serve the visually impaired people of Bhutan.
I think we, as your students, have been able to make you feel proud of what you have done to us during your active service. We shall forever cherish your love, blessings and wishes.
