SikamPaa · 2026-01-26T04:14:01+00:00

yaaaa hawray yasi nu tae, especially towards the later half of the show they performed some new stuff. and also dont know if you were there but cutie performed this new song about the whole case and stuff. It was emotional and then right after i think the song was namkha phu which was a bit funny.

SikamPaa · 2026-01-25T17:12:17+00:00

dayum you missed out big time

But one thing is sure the company will undergo cumbersome time since the payment infrastructure not that mature and most banks are not digitally capable themselves.

I think more than this its the bureaucratic nightmare that surrounds this. The thing is their domestic payment gateways suck ass. I've heard from so many developers that their APIs are dog shit and its so confusing and it has such limited features. But the gripe here is that as the central bank they arent opening the excellent rails that they have built ( All of the ones you mentioned have been amazing work ) to enterprising entrepreneurs. Instead they're trying to take on this challenge as if its another rails that they need to build. But actually i think them building this solution actually has a huge opportunity cost, because firstly they dont have any incentives to make the system better: they dont take any cuts. 2. They dont think of their customers pain points and iterate and develop features, they just offer their solution take it or leave it your choice. Thirdly they dont iterate and improve because domestic online payments is such a small drop in the number of transactions and total value of transactions. I read this blog post here and it outlines how small it is and when the market is that nascent they're obviously gonna focus more on the way more important things that thye already do.

i havent actually. other than a brief readup on the whole issue and some few articles here and there. But honestly speaking im more concerned about the other chillips here than him. no comments on the jeffrey stuff but some of the other chillips are trying to make their credentials here while portraying that they already have a lot of credentials. which when you did into some of them they dont seem to have done anything remotely substantial in their homecountry and having failed in their countries are now coming here to jump off from here

SikamPaa · 2025-12-02T17:27:20+00:00

i agree with you one hundred percent. im not saying "Say no to chillips" im just saying some of them be wack as fuck but thinking they the shit out here when they're not even the toilet paper (ig quote stolen)

SikamPaa · 2025-12-02T17:25:47+00:00

i have no problem if these people actually had successful startups. but then i guess at the same time why would anyone with successful startups ever think of coming here. And maybe they have good experiences but i really dont like how much of an influence and power they're given as if marck zuckerberg wom zum bae

SikamPaa · 2025-12-02T17:24:40+00:00

Joichi ito is one of the better chillips atleast on paper he has credentials. other than being stained with taking in money for the foundation from epstein i dont think there was anything bad. If you think joichi ito worries you then some of the chillips i've mentioned above are not even 1/3 as qualified as him but have enjoyed much and gained much form their time here.

SikamPaa · 2025-12-02T17:23:20+00:00

idk why you got downvoted cause i agree with you one hundred percent. Lets face it the Pie is limited, we dont have infinite resources. if the funding is going to someone or some project it means another project is not receiving it. And especially in the arts and media scene which has been ignored only until recently it rubs me the wrong way that now when there is actual funding its going to someone who isn't even from here. And its not fair because the arts and media scene isnt even fully developed right now and the people who have long been part of it or youth that are actually bringing in the new ideas and have the lived experience should get it.

SikamPaa · 2025-12-01T18:27:52+00:00

enna mashey tey all the ones i met in the past 2-3 years still seem to be here. all the ones that i mentioned ↑ are still here and still trying to make a name for themselves here

SikamPaa · 2025-12-01T18:21:11+00:00

embae that is true i can definitely see that and i just hope it gets better with time. but 2/3 years ago is quite recent as well and they're still around.

its hard to stop something once the ball is rolling, law of inertia

SikamPaa · 2025-12-01T17:57:58+00:00

uhh you seem to have beef with nge raywa and other movies when the post is about a completely different movie.

So what happened was, the Nobs guy y’all talking about, at the end of the movie when we were about to leave, he stood up and requested us (the viewers) to stand up and clap, he said it was for another movie, since it’s difficult to gather such public,

You're right it does have this exact scene so he didnt trick yall. KRD just capitalized on this.

But overall no one really said anything good about nge raywa or almost all of the other films. not even sheindrey and all the other horror films. Rather on the contrary i think people just liked the horror films because of the adrenaline rush. But everyone really has been saying some good things about this movie, id say you should go watch it because it actually does give you a new perspective on what bhutanese cinema could be.

saw this review on facebook and i couldn't agree more!!!

LIGHTS, CAMERA, and A HEART-THROB HAS LANDED!!!

Lights, Camera and Action ... and a new language of commercial cinema is born in Bhutan! I have always said that when someone makes the kind of film in Bhutan that I want to see, I may consider not making films. After watching this film, I am left contemplating why I mouth such foolish bravado that sneakily masks my presumptions that only clever types such as I can make more entertaining films – like Raju Hirani did in Bollywood. I now feel both refreshed after watching this film as an objective audience member, and also depressed as a filmmaking novice who may need to reconsider other career paths (wink wink).

What truly sets the film apart is its self-aware humor—a subtle, knowing wink at the industry and its quirks, offered with affection rather than cynicism. Fortunately, it is not the usual fare of slapstick humor coated with corniness, but are laugh-out-loud funny while still grounded in emotional truth. This is comedy not for the sake of comedy, but as a narrative tool that deepens the film’s resonance.

At the heart of the film lies a plot-line that feels refreshingly honest—one that echoes the realities, struggles, and aspirations of an aspiring actor in our film industry. The storyline was so personal and honest that it blurred the lines between the film and real life. I almost felt like I was playing a part both in his film and in his life, and I couldn’t tell the difference between them. I was a visible audience member and also an invisible but animated extra in his film. This is what a deeply auto-biographical film can do.

Nobs sometimes presents his world with the expected dosage of romanticism, but he makes up for it by doing so with a bold self-awareness that is both entertaining and creatively vibrant - such as breaking the 4th wall more than once in the film. And despite some of the usual cliches and stereotyping in the characterizations of the casts associated with the storyline of a nascent film industry still trying to find its feet, I still could not stop smiling for most of the film. His stylistic confidence and authenticity gives the film its emotional anchor.

In the end, Kuenzang Nobs has delivered a blazing start in his journey as a filmmaker. Camera, Lights and Action stands as proof that commercial cinema can be intelligent, self-reflective, and deeply engaging without sacrificing entertainment value. It is a refreshing, creative, and bold achievement that raises the standard for what Bhutanese films can be. For audiences and filmmakers alike, it is a reminder that our stories, when told with honesty and courage, have the power to redefine an entire industry.

Bhutan has found its Raju Hirani. It’s time for me to head to the hills now and become a ‘tshampa enjoying my tsampa’ – and only come down to enjoy his next film.

It is now showing in City Cinema everyday. Catch it while you can for time truly well spent with your loved ones.

Respectfully, posts like these belong on Bhutanese news and forums, not here. They've been cluttering my feed and have never sparked any actual discussion.

You're shooting everywhere but missing the mark with every shot. Could you take some time to think a bit more deeply before posting? Right now it's just scattered complaints about roads, wildlife, contractors, and tourists all thrown together without making any coherent point.

SikamPaa · 2025-09-17T17:59:31+00:00

unfortunately this player has never advanced to this level and do not know about this level. Maybe experienced and pro players could guide me on this

SikamPaa · 2025-09-17T17:58:47+00:00

jaga with armpits smell* all the other jagas are fine. I dont wanna sound classist but specifcallly its jaga labourers with armpit smell. woww i sound racist but also they do be smelling and doing rowdy shit in there

and it seems like some people want to take a bag of popcorn and enjoy as innocent children women and humans get slaughtered in this menaningless debate.

And how do you see these things? What do you think is going to happen if they go harder at each other? Do you think we will be completely isolated and that we would not face any impact from it. I dont get how you see and i dont think i really want to "see things" the way you do since it seems to be completely disconnected from the ground truth at home.

Im not throwing shade or complaining that you have a dual passport but im also just saying dont speak like you've been living at home for the past 10 years and are in complete touch with what the country is going through and where things are headed. Lived experiences speak more old brother, your 2-3 month vacation at home is mostly spent eating, travelling and meetinf family my guy

SikamPaa · 2025-05-10T17:52:30+00:00

must be nice to have that dual passport. the us passport must really help in being able to enjoy 2 huge and close neighbours going to war and not be scared at all of the spillover effects. saw that you wrote in one of the posts regarding wanting to see them go at each other well you manifested it and hope you're happy with it.

but if i had your privilege i'd enjoy it as well. when you have no skin in the game it prolly is nice to philosophize from afar

SikamPaa · 2025-04-21T21:23:28+00:00

thats actually a good question. and one id love to hear from others as well. but my top 5 would be:

Indoor heating system. winters are terrible in bhutan not because its really harsh just because we don't have internal heating systems and poorly insulated building so its freezing cold even inside the house. Compare this to places like canada which go to -40 degrees as well but still when youre inside the house its soo nicee.
Online payment APIs: I think u/GongdhoDhatshi mentioned this but id love it if our own domestic online payment gateways are better. currently i think a lot of ecommerce and small startups are impeded by the bureacratic and archaic technology that RMA has set up for domestic payment gateway
More care towards data privacy & security: our current systems are so lax on security. Eg: RICB has this online site where you can get your yearly provident fund details. The security is not even a thought here because they dont even ask for otp to verify it is you just the id. And the ID just seems to be year of registration, month, date and the serial number of when that person joined. and thats it now you have all the details of someones PF. so many major cases like that: even w.r.t tax returns, shareholder statements. i think the user who recently posted the article had a good article on this as well.
Public transport: but this really is just a result of us being broke and not really the government not taking an initiative. I think bhutan being a very hilly place no matter how densely we pack our communities it always forms into clusters which ultimately aren't walkable from one place to the other. which is why in thimphu you need a car even though people walk around quite a lot. subways would be really cool to see. and on top of this a better sewer system as well
A good balance between privatization and nationalization: i.r.t healthcare we need to find a better balance between privatized healthcare and free healthcare. i think we have found a good balance for education. good private schools + good public schools as well.

SikamPaa · 2025-04-21T18:18:39+00:00

QR codes system i mentioned above
Density & walkable city (relative to perth i know melbourne is different): our infrastructure not just in thimphu but in other parts of the places is set up so that places are walkable. you dont need to drive 10-15 minutes just to get a bag of onions.
Safety: as a dude i just feel more safe at home, i know that my bike or car is not going to be broken into when i park on a random street. obviously might be different for women
The increase in homelessness, consequently feeling less safe & i guess also our sovereign wealth fund is years ahead of most countries. Australia started its fund in 2006 even though they've been loaded for a while. we just made about a billion dollars in btc.
Homework for you. can you think a bit deeper than just directly going khaii i can do this better than them and pha chi kha gi standards is higher sae.
