China has constantly stated that the developments in Tibet are benefiting the Tibetan people and hence bettering Tibet as a whole. Well, as the saying goes… “Truth will always prevail”

BBC reported the following (please click):

Read BBC’s take on : Monks disrupt Tibet media visit

What will happen to change?
Will change change as all things?
Or will it develop immunity
And embrace hypocrisy?
Will change resist change
And go against its doctrinaire?
Why, will change change not
Should nothing be permanent, even change?
Since change is also a thing.

Our world changes daily by seconds
Our lives in the roller-coaster of time
The noon gives way to the moon
The dawn turns dusk
At intersections of these:
One enters, another exits
One moans, another mourns
One rejoices, one regrets
In the spate and space of time;
A jungle becomes a haven
The oblivious became renowned
Riches become ruins
All on the altar of change

“All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much

fault you find with another, and regardless of how

much you blame him, it will not change you.

The only thing blame does is to keep the focus

off you when you are looking for external reasons

to explain your unhappiness or frustration.

You may succeed in making another feel guilty about

something by blaming him, but you won’t

succeed in changing whatever it is about you

that is making you unhappy.”

Is the mind really the forerunner of all actions or does the heart have a say in what we do?

It’s midnight here, and supposedly I’m focused on finishing my term paper on micro econ with supply and demand in the United States Of AMERICA, but here i am trying to get my mind in focus!

How ironic right????

However, intended or not i end up pondering away on memories of yesterday, and the days before and the years and one thought leading to another…

Where is this story really headed? I have no clue,but as the years pass by i see myself growing…

Growing out of my LALA land where “There is a will, there is a way, worrying does nothing… go with the flow”

My perspective on the world has drastically changed and i find myself believing either heavily on the right side or the left side but cannot tame myself to the center when i want to be.

The right is pulling me towards the things i want out of life, picking a date, driving my car, skipping town and going on an adventure to find stories,,, stories that are hidden on the other side of the book, the side that no one reads or hears about… the stories that are after the happy ending “the ends”. Finding pleasure in hearing the stories, writing them, sharing them then maybe some day even producing documentaries for the well beings.

On the other hand, comes my left side, pulling me towards everything that i do not want to attempt to do yet must do for the well being of the “life” that i have created with others and yes, here comes the responsibilities! The left gives me happiness in seeing the good things done to the close ones, yet find myself troubled with the questions of what if, only if, wouldn’t it be nice if.!!! Would one be labeled selfish if one were to risk a happiness of another to satisfy oneself? ‘if so… to what extent does it drag towards. And indeed the saying ” Strength is being able to slip away and smile” true?

Though planning ahead to find a balance in between the left and right sounds good, the time needed for this venture sounds awfully hard. One thing i do know, Timing is everything and my hopeful heart believes my time will come!

I watched the movie “Seven years in Tibet” after a very long time and started crying.. started feeling guilty for about my life and what hardships others had to carry for me to be here and i wondered.. What is the difference between those in Tibet and me? It was just a chance of opportunity… How can i repay that deed?

Would i be the same person i am if i was living in Tibet? Would i even be questioning at all?

The slow years of high-school i miss dearly… My child hood in the fields for Nepal i miss dearly… my rainy boy days in 3rd grade India i miss so dearly, my talks on Tibet with pala i miss so dearly….

If there is a solution… we will find it… no point in worrying about it.

Music is the key to my life

Want to fly away with tunes in my head

Sleep the night away with Chapman

Wake up with some good ol’ Marley

Rock on with u2 and great sensation

Jazz it up with some Green ol’ Meeean Al

Slow it down with some Brown in my life

Sittin’ Wishin’ Waiting with the Jackson

Step Step with the Fiasco

Rushin’ it up with the Calling

Life in the Potal Service is good, great, wonderfully amazing!

Where will this be headed….. only Asha knows…

Kal Ho Na Ho…………………..

Friends and enemies I must emphasize again that merely thinking that compassion and reason and patience are good will not be enough to develop them. We must wait for difficulties to arise and then attempt to practice them. And who creates such opportunities? Not our friends, of course, but our enemies. They are the ones who give us the most trouble, So if we truly wish to learn, we should consider enemies to be our best teacher! For a person who cherishes compassion and love, the practice of tolerance is essential, and for that, an enemy is indispensable. So we should feel grateful to our enemies, for it is they who can best help us develop a tranquil mind! Also, itis often the case in both personal and public life, that with a change in circumstances, enemies become friends. So anger and hatred are always harmful, and unless we train our minds and work to reduce their negative force, they will continue to disturb us and disrupt our attempts to develop a calm mind. Anger and hatred are our real enemies. These are the forces we most need to confront and defeat, not the temporary “enemies” who appear intermittently throughout life. Of course, it is natural and right that we all want friends. I often joke that if you really want to be selfish, you should be very altruistic! You should take good care of others, be concerned for their welfare, help them, serve them, make more friends, make more smiles, The result? When you yourself need help, you find plenty of helpers! If, on the other hand, you neglect the happiness of others, in the long term you will be the loser. And is friendship produced through quarrels and anger, jealousy and intense competitiveness? I do not think so. Only affection brings us genuine close friends. In today’s materialistic society, if you have money and power, you seem to have many friends. But they are not friends of yours; they are the friends of your money and power. When you lose your wealth and influence, you will find it very difficult to track these people down. The trouble is that when things in the world go well for us, we become confident that we can manage by ourselves and feel we do not need friends, but as our status and health decline, we quickly realize how wrong we were. That is the moment when we learn who is really helpful and who is completely useless. So to prepare for that moment, to make genuine friends who will help us when the need arises, we ourselves must cultivate altruism! Though sometimes people laugh when I say it, I myself always want more friends. I love smiles. Because of this I have the problem of knowing how to make more friends and how to get more smiles, in particular, genuine smiles. For there are many kinds of smile, such as sarcastic, artificial or diplomatic smiles. Many smiles produce no feeling of satisfaction, and sometimes they can even create suspicion or fear, can’t they? But a genuine smile really gives us a feeling of freshness and is, I believe, unique to human beings. If these are the smiles we want, then we ourselves must create the reasons for them to appear. Compassion and the world In conclusion, I would like briefly to expand my thoughts beyond the topic of this short piece and make a wider point: individual happiness can contribute in a profound and effective way to the overall improvement of our entire human community. Because we all share an identical need for love, it is possible to feel that anybody we meet, in whatever circumstances, is a brother or sister. No matter how new the face or how different the dress and behavior, there is no significant division between us and other people. It is foolish to dwell on external differences, because our basic natures are the same. Ultimately, humanity is one and this small planet is our only home, If we are to protect this home of ours, each of us needs to experience a vivid sense of universal altruism. It is only this feeling that can remove the self-centered motives that cause people to deceive and misuse one another. If you have a sincere and open heart, you naturally feel self- worth and confidence, and there is no need to be fearful of others. I believe that at every level of society – familial, tribal, national and international – the key to a happier and more successful world is the growth of compassion. We do not need to become religious, nor do we need to believe in an ideology. All that is necessary is for each of us to develop our good human qualities. I try to treat whoever I meet as an old friend. This gives me a genuine feeling of happiness. It is the practice of compassion. It is ironic that the more serious problems emanate from the more industrially advanced societies. Science and technology have worked wonders in many fields, but the basic human problems remain. There is unprecedented literacy, yet this universal education does not seem to have fostered goodness, but only mental restlessness and discontent instead. There is no doubt about the increase in our material progress and technology, but somehow this is not sufficient as we have not yet succeeded in bringing about peace and happiness or in overcoming suffering.
