Sporadic Whispers: Musings of a Part-Time Writer

“KADRINCHE beyond words” is a debut novel by Mr. Kinley Wangchuk who works for a private sector and who also happens to be a friend of my mother. So it was kind of inevitable for the book to land in my hands. First and foremost I would like to thank Mr. Kinley for the autographed copy and would also like to congratulate you on the debut novel and hope to see more of your work in the near future. As a person who aspires to write a novel of my own it is really inspiring whenever I read a book especially by a Bhutanese author. It helps me move closer to my dream even if it’s just a step.

4/1/2016 Dear future son/daughter, This is your dad (from 2016). I don’t know if you’ll ever get to read this letter but still then, weirdly enough, I suddenly got the urge to write this. First of all I hope you are doing good, both physically and mentally, because with the changing time we can already see that children, especially in their teens, have a lot of problems mostly related to their state of mind. As for the physical health I am sure that your mom and I are doing a great job. And as for me I doing quite well and don’t have much to complaint about. Anyways let’s get to the point; I want you to know that I am thinking about how I want our relationship to be from now only. I also want you to know that I am slowly planning everything so don’t worry about anything. This doesn’t mean that I am going to decide everything for you and ask you to do things as I please and rid you of your freedom of choice. But you should know that as a parent I will have some expectations ...
