updates, I guess

2 04 2008

So my life right now is still pretty much dictated by the Tibet issue and school. We had our Global Day of Action at school and it was pretty good. We hung a few banners asking the community if China has lived up to the ideals of the Olympic Games and it’s apparently creating some hot discussion in the Chinese community at MHC. We never attacked anyone personally and our beef’s just with the Chinese Government, so we’ll just leave the rest to them to figure out.

There’s this article in the news today about China now claiming the Tibetans are planning suicide attacks. This is like the joke of the century.. do they think we’re absolute nuts or what? Why does it not go through their thick skulls that we’re not going to compromise on violence? Well, I guess I’ll say.. thanks for the laugh, if anything else.

Also in the news today, Bhaichung Bhutia is NOT going to run with the Olympic Torch and he made it clear it was in support of the Tibetans who are suffering right now. Gotta love the guy!! Yea yea Aamir wrote back to our comments on his blog too. He says he will still bear the torch but not in favor of China, but with a prayer for the Tibetans and everyone else suffering under human rights violations. Now of course I wished he didn’t draw those comparisons, but I gotta give it up to him for at least addressing our concerns. I love the support the Indian community (the people) is giving us right now, the Indian Government, well they can do a lot better!

On the family front, things are going good. My mom’s coming soon for acha’s graduation, it’s confirmed. So I’m happy and excited about it. I’m still waiting to hear from the Office of Tibet about the internship in Dhasa and the month’s going to be intense on the school front. Yes, I gotta work my butt off.. I will, I will. Oh there’s some masala cookin’ in some other department too, but let’s not go further on that. ;)
