Role models are torch bearers
for radiating light of fresh hopes, strength and stimulation, and people feel electrified in their
presence. Mr. H.B Viswa, Ex-Education Officer, Bhutan, is such a personality, who left a lasting
impression behind in the minds of hundreds at an International Seminar at Saheed Kshudiram College of my
hometown, Kamakhyaguri, Alipurduar district, West Bengal, on October 12 and 13, 2023.
To the tremendous seminar organized by
the college, luminaries from different parts of India, Bangladesh and Bhutan were invited. I was marvelled
to see the grandeur and splendour of the seminar and the honour and dignity the guests received. More
interesting was that our Bhutanese guest, Mr H.B Viswa, happened to be the focus of attention to the
entire august audience, who was offered the highest degree of importance and respect by all. Everyone felt
magnetised with the nobility and sublimity of his personality. He personified the beauty of the tiny
Kingdom splendidly. I was thrilled to see his sacred seat in the hearts of all. Dozens rushed to him to
have selfies. Unable to resist my emotion, I whispered, “Sir, people become heroes at the young age, but
you have become a hero at the old age. What a miracle!”
The highest standard of hospitality and
the multifaceted dignity of the seminar revealed the towering standard of the college and the beauty of the
college family and above all our lovely people. I felt so much ignited and elevated to have been a part of
this grand seminar that I went to the extent of offering my pranam to the college, the college family, and
the guests for the shining light of divinity in all. I also took pride to share with the audience that our
Bhutanese guest was my D.E.O in 1989, who supported, guided, protected, nurtured, and nourished me like a
parent when I was a new, raw teacher in a remote school of Bhutan.
Thank you, my devas, and devis of
Saheed Kshudiram College for the glorious occasion and honour.
Here are a few glimpses of the seminar.
