There are many new readers to these Asian chronicles and I welcome you. For those who may have just tuned in, this is my fourth journey into the Tibetan world, including Nepal and India where large numbers of Tibetan refugees reside. I go back this time with a heavy heart for all who suffer on this fragile planet of ours. Today the situation in Tibet, as reported to me personally by numerous first hand accounts, is as dire as ever. I made a promise to many Tibetan refugees that I would tell their story...  Aura Comm - Vol 4 - Issue 2 Kathmandu, Nepal January 21, 2005 Nameste, The rather hard landing in Kathmandu all ways brings a wry smile to my face. This old city boasts the shortest runway in the world. So when your plane touches the tarmac the pedal hits the metal immediately... I bundle up expecting a severe chill as I exit the plane and to my surprise I am awash in the comforting glow of the Nepali sun. Hey, not bad I thought. I can handle this. No problem.I mean come on; this is the Himalayas smack dab in the middle of the winter. I had been warned to be prepared for a bone chilling cold...  Aura Comm - Vol 4 - Issue 3 Kathmandu, Nepal January 24, 2005 Nameste, For those of you that have written and not heard a reply, please be patient. I am only able to get to a working cyber cafe every few days if I am lucky. For you see I still have difficulty in adjusting to the rhythm of things. You would think after living here four times I would get it. The pace many of us are used to in the US is so deeply ingrained into our day-to-day life we hardly ever think about it. Much less is accomplished here each day than you could possibly imagine. And the efforts are often extraordinary. I usually collapse in bed every night. Let me explain a bit how this all works...  Aura Comm - Vol 4 - Issue 4 Kathmandu, Nepal January 27, 2005 Nameste, Half the world's wage earners (around 1.4 billion) still subsist with their families on income below $2 a day, the International Labor Organization said in a 2004 year-end report. Its World Employment Report appealed for more humane working conditions and equal opportunity in this burgeoning age of globalization. This little known fact as recently reported in the Asian Wall Street Journal, is simply staggering to ponder. I mean really. Stop for moment and think about this...  AuraComm 4.5 Aura Comm - Vol 4 - Issue 5 Delhi, India January 30, 2005 Tashi Delek, When one travels away from their family here it is customary to receive special prayers and blessings from the elders. A bright red powder is placed on your forehead (third eye) and the top of your head (crown chakra). Rashmi's father performs this special blessing with great emotion, as this is his daughter's first sojourn outside her native land of Nepal. A garland of flowers and Tibetan scarves called Katas, are place around our necks as prayers are offered to the Hindu gods to protect us on our journey. This timeless tradition is actually quite wonderful to receive...  Aura Comm - Vol 4 - Issue 6 Delhi, India January 30, 2005 Tashi Delek, An ancient Buddhist saying here goes; there is no sweet companion like pure charity. For me this truth is indeed a blessing. For those of you who have participated in this cause over these past 3 years through your generous donations and sponsorships, I know this timeless perspective rings true for you. As we wind up the celebration of Tashi's birthday, he offers to make a call to my dear friend Dolma. Earlier Tashi informed her I was coming and she wanted to reach out on his special day...  Aura Comm - Vol 4 - Issue 7 Kathmandu, Nepal February 3, 2005 Nameste, "King Takes Charge" blares the headline on The Himalayan on February 1st, 2005. Excerpts from his 10am speech that rocked this war torn country: "Today we have reached a juncture where a historic decision must be taken to defend multi-party democracy by restoring peace. Even when bloodshed, violence and devastation have pushed the country to the brink of destruction, those engaged in politics continue to shut their eyes to the public welfare." And with that King Gyanendra sacks the Sher Bahadur Deuba-led coalition government and places them all under house arrest...  Aura Comm - Vol 4 - Issue 8 Kathmandu, Nepal February 6, 2005 Nameste, On the fourth day of this state of emergency with no phones or Internet (and all rights suspended) I realize it is time to cautiously venture out into Kathmandu and take care of business. Elder Shyam assured me everything was stable in our vicinity. I must reach our American Embassy so I can reply to my family's concerned emails that were personally delivered by the Vice Consul the night before. Traffic is lighter than normal, yet I have never seen so many security officials before. Almost every traffic corner has an armed crew ready to go. Scores of soldiers were marching single file with machine guns poised...   Displaying 1 to 8 (of 8 articles)   Result Pages:  1
