Today is my so_called Birthday. 30th Dec 2013
Dear friends, I was born in a small village where no hospital and clinic. So, I was born in the small cottage with the help of few relatives.
There fore, I really don't have birthday certificate and don't know when I was born. I still don't have idea about the exact day to celebrate my birthday. I have given different date of birth in different documents. 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. Because my late Apha told me that i was born in a cold winter just two months before the Losar. So my assumption can't be right but it is near to the truth.
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.
I really feel old after becoming a teacher and i feel like i am 40 years old now though am just 27 now. 27 is too young right?? hhehehe. Oh no, I am old now. When New Year comes i have one habit to see and flashback what i have done in last year, collect all the footprints to see whether i have wasted my year or not.
This year 2013 is very complicated year and couldn't improve my inner wisdom but I experienced a lot and it helps me to know how to move forward, how to talk with boss, how to my make plans. However I am very happy to be alive till now and regret for wasting my times.
in 2014, I am going to control my time and spend more in studies. At the same time, want to guide my students better than this year. Very heavy and big responsibility stands on my shoulder and getting old of carrying those years to years. However, Thank you very much all of you for guiding me and supporting me. If my Apha and Ama were on the earth, they would be so happy and proud with my works and studies and hug me with lots of care and joy. Anyhow, I imagine that Apha and Ama are looking at me with smiles on their faces and waving their hands towards me and discussing with their fairy friends about me with full of proud.
Love you Apha and Ama la. I am always doing good and your SON is not poor now in any field. Proud to be your son and you too feel proud to be my parents.
