FRIENDSHIPS DON’T HAVE ANY BOUNDARIES [DEDICATED TO MY    TIBETAN FRIENDS]

 IT WAS IN JULY,WHEN I CAME TO THIS UNIVERSITY[MSU].THOUSANDS OF FRESHERS ARE THERE AND SOME GREEDY POLITICAL GROUPS WHERE BUSY IN THEIR PROPAGANDA.PSYCHOLOGY SAYS THAT NO HUMAN BEING CAN LIVE IN ISOLATION.SO ALL THE STUDENTS SEARCHING PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR QUALITIES OR FRIENDS. IN BETWEEN THE THOUSAND OF PEOPLE I WAS FEELING BIT LONELY.ALL WERE BUSY IN SEARCHING THEIR CORE CLASSES,I WENT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE. IT WAS OUR FIRST DAY IN THE CLASS AND FIONA MADAM WAS OUR TEACHER. THE STRENGTH WAS BIT LARGE. ALL WERE TRYING TO CREATE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION AMONG THE PEER GROUPS.AS IT WAS OUR FIRST DAY AND WE ALL WERE UNKNOWN TO EACH OTHER,WE ACTUALLY HAVEN’T SHARE MUCH CONVERSATION. SUDDENLY I REALIZED THAT SOMEONE IS THERE BEHIND ME AND HE IS IN SLEEPY MOOD. WHO KNOWS THAT ONE DAY THAT ‘SOMEONE’ WILL SHARE A UNBREAKABLE BOND WITH ME. NOW  HE IS LIKE MY BROTHER AND WE USED TO SPENT MUCH OF THE TIMES TOGETHER. ON THAT FIRST DAY I WAS COMPLETELY UNKNOWN TO HIM. THAT BOY WAS TASHI TSERING.NOW WE USE TO CALL EACH OTHER AS “PAAJI”.THEN THERE WAS A FORMAL INTRODUCTION BETWEEN US. I STILL REMEMBER THE WORDS OF FIONA MADAM,SHE SAID THAT ‘YOU ALL HAVE TO LIVE WITH EACH OTHER FOR 3 YEARS. YOU ALL SHOULD KNOW ABOUT EACH OTHER BACKGROUND’. I THOUGHT THAT ALL FRIENDS ARE FROM 7 SISTERS.IT WAS DUE TO MY NARROWNESS OF MIND. I STARTED MY CONVERSATION WITH ONE BROTHER AND I ASKED THAT WHICH STATE DO THEY BELONG. HE SAID-"WE BELONG TO TIBET". THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE GREAT FRIENDSHIP.THE BROTHER WAS PHUNSTOK TASHI. NOW WE ARE VERY CLOSE FRIENDS.I STUDIED A LOT ABOUT TIBET IN MY SCHOOLDAYS,BUT TO STUDY SOMETHING AND TO FEEL SOMETHING IS TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. WHEN YOU FEEL SOMETHING YOU REALIZE THE THING FROM THE CORE OF YOUR HEART. THE SEASON WAS RAINY AND MOST OF US USED TO TAKE THE SHORTCUT TO REACH THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT.I WAS WALKING WITH GROUP OF PEOPLE AND MANY TIBETAN BOYS AND GIRLS WERE ALSO WITH ME.NOBODY WAS READY TO BREAK IT'S ISOLATION.I WAS WALKING ALONE AND SUDDENLY I STARTED CONVERSATION WITH ONE OF THEM.THE BOY WAS NON OTHER THEN THE VICE PRESIDENT HIMSELF-PHUNSTOK YESHI. WHO KNOWS THAT ONE DAY WE WILL HAVE SUCH A GREAT BONDING.WE TALKED ABOUT BUDDHISM.DAYS PASSED,I WENT TO THE MAJOR UPS AND DOWNS. SOMETIMES I WENT TO THE DARKEST PHASE. BUT WHEN  YOU ARE IN DARKNESS YOU WILL FIND A RAY OF HOPE IN FRIENDSHIP.BETWEEN THOSE TIME I MET WITH A BOY WITH AMAZING ATHLETIC QUALITIES AND WITH A VERY GOOD AND DECENT NATURE. THAT BOY WAS TENZIN NORBU RANGDOL. WHEN I AM WRITING THIS BLOG I STILL REMEMBER HOW WE USED TO STAY TIMES TOGETHER.THE BEST TIME WAS YET TO COME. MY HABIT IS TO WALK ALONE.I WAS GOING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY,THERE WAS A SUNSHINE AND HUMIDITY IN THE ATMOSPHERE.ON THE OTHER SIDE PHUNSTOK TASHI IS COMING WITH A VERY HEALTHY BOY. THE BOY WAS IN FORMAL DRESS.NOW THE BOY IS ONE OF MY CLOSEST FRIEND AND HE IS NONE OTHER THEN RINCHEN CHODAK.I HAD ASKED THAT WHY YOU DRESSED LIKE THAT. HE REPLIED-"I LIKE TO DRESS IN THAT WAY".TASHI TSERING AND I USE TO STAY TOGETHER,ROAM TOGETHER. NORBU AND I ALONG WITH PHUNSTOK YESHI AND TASHI USE TO SPENT A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER IN UNIVERSITY. I HAD MANY NEW IDEAS WITH ME AND I WANTED THAT PEOPLE SHOULD SHARE CULTURAL RELATIONS WITH EACH OTHER.FOR THIS I VISITED TO THE PRESIDENT OF TIBETAN COMMUNITY. I WROTE THIS ARTICLE ON THE DIARY THE PRESIDENT HAD GIVEN ME. I WAS BIT TENSED BEFORE THE MEETING. BUT TRUST ME I HAD NEVER WITNESSED SUCH A PURE SOUL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON.OUR FIRST MEETING WAS AT BEHIND CANTEEN WHICH LATER BECAME OUR REGULAR MEETING SPOT. I WAS INSPIRED A LOT BY YESHI DAWA. WE STARTED MEETING FREQUENTLY AND ON THE OTHER HAND DEVELOP GOOD BONDING WITH PEMBER TILLE RINCHEN . I NEVER FORGET TO MENTION THE ONE WITH THE EVERGREEN SMILE,THAT IS SONAM JURME. SUCH A JOYFUL AND A BOY WITH FULL OF LIFE.I SPOKEN TO A LARGE NUMBER OF TIBETAN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE ELECTION OF RTYC BARODA.I EXPRESS MY VIEWS AND THOUGHTS.I RECEIVED GREAT APPRECIATION AND THE NEWLY ELECTED PRESIDENT NWANG WAS ALSO VERY ENTHUSIASTIC AND RESPONSIBLE AND HE IS VERY FINE HUMAN BEING. PHUNSTOK YESHI WAS ELECTED AS A VICE PRESIDENT AND TASHI AS AN EXECUTIVE MEMBER.. I WENT TO THE CELEBRATION OF NEW YEAR,UPRISING MARCH ,FAREWELL.SUCH A GREAT MEMORIES ,SUCH AN EXPERIENCE. I CAN'T EXPRESS IN WORDS.ALL THE TIBETAN BOYS AND GIRLS ARE REAL GEMS.THERE ARE ALSO MY FEMALE FRIENDS IN THIS COMMUNITY AND ALL ARE VERY SINCERE AND VERY PURE BY HEART. ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE LIKE BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE.I REALIZED THAT ALL THE BOUNDARIES IN THE WORLD IS ARTIFICIAL,.THE REAL RELATION EXIST BETWEEN HEART AND SOUL AND HEART AND SOUL HAVE NO BOUNDARIES,

                  DIVIDED BY BOUNDARIES
                  UNITED BY SOUL
YOU PEOPLE ARE REAL GEMS.
