India's 67th Independence Day

I guess when you call your country's formation as 'Independence Day', one extra year is addded to it as i tot looking into the historic date of 15Aug1947; this would be india's 66th year in existance....and it's not surprising in these 2 disgruntled relatives, Pakistan's national day was just 1 day before india's! Not a coincidence i think as these cousins constantly even compare how high their border guards lift their legs daily during the ceremonies which has become symbolic of their sibling rivalry since birth. And certainly not surprising the week leading to the celebations, there were some flare ups at the LOC (line of control).
I'm celebrating my 6th month here myself alone in my cave this weekend; would probably drop by the Tibetan centre tomorrow to celebrate Ullambana day for all the wondering spirits around this month....

As i turned into an adult, i started exploring into earlier versions when it was still in India and Sri Lanka; or what some may call theravada Buddhism. And I've found solace in it as it kind of suits my fiery, impatient and egoistic character. Lately, i chance upon words of wisdom while watching; of all things, the latest rendition of a famous martial arts soap opera by Jin Yong, "Demi-Gods_and_Semi-Devils". I am going back to Crystal Jade Restaurants this evening to serve food; that's where i started off when i came back from india a year ago; the impending CNY double pay of course was a motivating factor, but i have other reasons for doing this... I also met a very promising young dude whilst serving behind the counter at Buddhist Library; i was over-zealous to say the least in tr
