My Journey and My Destination 1.

Today I am pretty free from routine classes. I just sat beside my computer and went through my old pictures which were taken few years back. My mind started getting filled with mixed emotions which I can't express in words.

Lots of changes have taken place physically, mentally, including my complexion too. Just as I glanced at my photos, some emotions with flashback naturally entered into my mind and I couldn't stop myself from the lunatic expression, smile v/s tears. Just wondering how I reached the present age. My life seems to be complicated, too complicated!!

I really don't know how to begin my short writing. Sometimes, too many things crops up in my mind but when I go to pen them down, those thoughts automatically vanishes from my mind. However, journey of my life starts this way........

When I was born/ my date of birth


I really don't know when I was born and I still don't have idea about the exact day to celebrate my birthday. I have given different date of birth in different documents. This may cause little difficulty to those writers who will be trying to write biographies about me in future. My date of birth is also very problematic for me. I studied Tibetan history and have studied about great kings who lived thousands of years ago and yet they have their date of births clearly mentioned in the history text, but it hurts to say that I, who lived in 21st century never knew my real date of birth. However, this is the truth and can't change it.

As I just mentioned about not having a fixed birthday, I feel bit uncomfortable when my friends ask me about my birthday, the only answer from my side is "I don't celebrate birthday''. But nobody knows the real answer behind it.

Few years ago, I was asked to make RC (Registration Certificate) and for that I had to give my date of birth, I had no option but to give a random date/month/year which I soon forgot. After few years, I tried to fix one date of birth in my mind and that is 30th December and I clearly remember it nowadays.

I usually don't celebrate my birthday. Celebration of birthday is not a part of Tibetan tradition. I vividly remember the first time celebration of my birthday which was last year and I can't forget that day in my whole life, it was wonderful and memorable too.
