Define Yourself

Define yourself is a book which talks about our lives and culture. It is also a collection of wisdom which the author got from his late dad.

The main character Tshewang Chogyal is a student who was with his family for the vacation. In the first chapter he has a strange dream in which he saw a man who asked him who he was. Tshewang said his name however the man was not wanting that answer and said 'your name is not you' which confused Tshewang. But before he could ask how he was woken up by his mom.

When waking up his dad gave him a small lecture on how immature he is being at his age and that he is not taking responsibility for his age. His father also points out that Tshewang wakes up late, doesn't know much about the cultures and that he is usually on his phone. After his father's a bit un-pleasing lecture his mother hands him his Ket-Tshi which stated that he was going to be a man with great knowledge and wealth. He then questioned himself on how he was going to do that.

Things didn't go very bad after that. But one night in Darkphel his father taught him how to define himself in the world. Tshewang thereafter understood the purpose of his life. Nine years later, Tshewang who was then studying for his masters received a call which said that his father was in a bad state. After taking his exams he visited his father just to see that he didn't have much time left. His father soon leaves the world. Even after his father's death Tshewang still cherished the wisdom and memories shared with his father.
