This was a really early morning. I heard the sound of drums from somewhere when I was dreaming. I tried to remember the same sound from the past. That was seven years ago, when I trekked in Himalayas in the north west of Nepal. One night, I heard the same sound of drums in the valley. The kind of sound was rare illusive.
I was thinking of the movie “Seven years in Tibet” which is my favorite movie. Almost every trip, I meet people who ask me about the “Tibet” affair. For example, seven years ago in Nepal, a Spanish man asked me to talk about “Tibet”. This trip, a young dauntless U.S. guy asked me the same question. He said, “Do you think the Tibetans are happy?” I answered, “I am on the Tibetan side. They are unhappy for the politics and the government, but they have religion and belief that let them keep a pure and kind heart. As you are an American young man, you may also be unhappy because of the president and the government, right?”
I love the area of Himalayas, Tibet, India and Nepal. The people are very peaceful and pure. They enjoy the poor and simple lifestyle, and the smile always shows on their face. Their eyes are pure and sincere.
Compared with the people of the city, they have “Everything”; house, car, marriage, family and wealth. But they are always unhappy and do not have a smiling face…
I asked a lady in Jodhpur, why is the city blue? She said, “The city is not blue, but the sun of the sky made the wall blue.”
