Health of the planet

“People today may feel anxious about the future, but we can take strength from the fact that more and more of us are genuinely concerned to protect the environment, taking account of the welfare of the whole of humanity, as well as the health of the planet, our only home.”

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

Longings

All that I long for-
Is to return to my home,
Is this too much to ask for?
Is this too much to long for?

All that I ask for-
Is to return to my Homeland,
Is this too much to ask for?
Is this too much to long for?

All that I have always wanted-
Is freedom for my country,
Is this too much to ask for?
Is this too much to long for?

I know I have a house-
But this is not my home,
I know I have a place to stay-
But this is not where  I belong.

Though I enjoy many freedoms-
I know I am not free,
Though I live in freedom-
Still I long to be Free!

Homecoming Winter

Delhi has an extreme climate. It is very hot in summer and very cold in winter. So when I wear shorts on my campus during winter. People around me must have thought what the hell he is doing with shorts in the shits cold winter, but the truth is I want to feel at home at least in the winter.

The climate on the Tibetan plateau is cold and typical of the high-altitude plateau climate.
