I was very close to Dalai Lama [Physical Distance Wise]

I was strolling around the streets of Copenhagen during the last week of May, 2009 when I saw scores of people all of sudden gathering at the entrance of one Hotel, which is famous among top dignitaries. I became curious. I thought there must be some POP star or a big political dignitary arriving to check in.

During this time of my guess work, I saw a MERC coming to the building only with a pilot police car. To my surprise, I saw a very humble person, Dalai Lama, coming out of that MERC. There were some people whom I saw literally crying in silence after seeing their religious leader. Beautiful & young girls in traditional attires welcomed Dalai Lama and Dalai Lama waived his hands politely and then disappeared in the Hotel.

See a picture of Dalai Lama clicked barely few feet away from.


I am signing off with a thought from my childhood friend who SMSed me “PROGRESS has little to do with SPEED, but much to do with DIRECTION”

WAQT NAHI

Har khushi Hai Logon Ke Daman Mein,
Par Ek Hansi Ke Liye Waqt Nahi.
Din Raat Daudti Duniya Mein,
Zindagi Ke Liye Hi Waqt Nahi.

Maa Ki Loree Ka Ehsaas To Hai,
Par Maa Ko Maa Kehne Ka Waqt Nahi.
Saare Rishton Ko To Hum Maar Chuke,
Ab Unhe Dafnane Ka Bhi Waqt Nahi.

Saare Naam Mobile Mein Hain,
Par Dosti Ke Lye Waqt Nahi.
Gairon Ki Kya Baat Karen,
Jab Apno Ke Liye Hi Waqt Nahi.

Aankhon Me Hai Neend Badee,
Par Sone Ka Waqt Nahi.
Dil Hai Ghamon Se Bhara Hua,
Par Rone Ka Bhi Waqt Nahi.

Paison ki Daud Me Aise Daude,
Ki Thakne ka Bhi Waqt Nahi.
Paraye Ehsason Ki Kya Kadr Karein,
Jab Apane Sapno Ke Liye Hi Waqt Nahi.

Tu Hi Bata E Zindagi,
Iss Zindagi Ka Kya Hoga,
Ki Har Pal Marne Walon Ko,
Jeene Ke Liye Bhi Waqt Nahi........
