Remembering my Beloved friend 'Japa' on His 2nd Death Anniversary

    "There are no goodbyes for us
Wherever you are, you
will always be in my heart"

~ Gandhi

I have spent almost a decade of my childhood in boarding school and when you spend most of your childhood away from your parents with school friends whether we like it or not you get attached to your friends more than your parents. One of many good friends in school was a Tsewang Motup alias Japa, who passed away exactly two years back in a fatal car accident. He was my buddy of life , of all the good traits if i name one which sets him apart was his ability to Listen. He was an amazing listener. The one with whom you can discuss from the most trivial to the most important problems of our life. 

Today on this day I miss you my friend and I am quite sure you are reborn somewhere. 

Below are the pictures I have taken on my solo India Tour 2015, just after my friend's unfortunate day. 
I consider every picture as an ode to my friend, the pictures are taken at different places I visited.

Dear Rashmi, A small letter I recently sent to Ms Rashmi Bansal.

Dear Rashmi,

I am a decent fan/admirer of your work. And I have read almost all of your books except for few (‘Take me Home’ and Poor Little Rich Slum’)

Recently I saw you mention in Facebook that your book ‘Arise Awake’ is on discount on Amazon and I ordered it right away. And like every other book of yours it is easy to read, informative and worth every penny.

 Your books has helped me a lot in my humble socio-entrepreneurial journey sometime it help me give new information, sometimes it help me subconsciously.

We had one small project on ‘Sanitation’ and you coverage on Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak’s  ‘Sulabh International’ helped me a lot. And infact I met him once to discuss on our work.

Even if it is in small way, your books are helping this Country shape it’s Future. Please keep up the good work and best wishes for your future projects not only in ‘Entrepreneurship’ but also in Fictional/Self-Help if any  J

One small piece of advice/request: You can use your facebook page also to motivate India.

P.S:  I am ok if you like to publish my small note of appreciation in your facebook page.

NIDO TANIA

On January of 2014 I was in Delhi for my GATE exam and this unfortunate event happened, a student named Nido Tania from Arunachal Pradesh was murdered in Broad day light. It was said to be a racist attack. Following it there was widespread protest all over Delhi for long and social media uproared crying "Justice for Nido Tania".

I was in one of Candle march to show my solidarity for the cause, thinking this is the least i could do. Some Prof. from North East gave their speech at the end of march.  

And for the cause I with the help of few of my friend I did this piece of work. 

Some of my thoughts and idea on the unfortunate event.

That's me in picture.

On a second thought it's also very easy to label one incident with Racism or Hate crime, we should also take it with the perspective that it was a normal brawl between two people which led to unfortunate death of Nido Tania. But it's hard digesting, because only victims know how we are treated by mainlanders in our day to day life every now and then. Chinki, Chowmin and Nepali are few names we grow up with in Delhi, so much that I am deaf to this names.
