When
I tried to mingle with nice people around me and they asked me first
"Hi, where are you from?". I have to put myself in formidable way and
trying to answer in this way, "I am from Himachel Pradesh.. but born in
Kashmir, Ladakh.. and I am Tibetan, not Indian.. Aah, 'Tibet' between
India and China, just above Nepal ". The longest answer for the
shortest question!... the answer which invoke within me some kind of
emptiness, I feel like, I am a creature of missing-link between Tibet
and India, yet to name, an unidentified "Me".
Who am I basically? I won't mind being a human, a universal girl. But, somehow I need somewhere proper in this BIG WORLD, to go back and say this is basic me. Question of human 'egocentricity'...Ksaiser, one of the Canadian literary critics states in his work " The Praire; The States of Mind" that when you belong to a land, its like identifying your life with that land, and you will have the sense of proud being encapsulate one's history by gazing at the development of that particular land from centuries back. So, which land should l consider as the land of my history; Ladakh, the place where I was born and spent my primary ages? Himachel, the place where my actual development happened? or Tibet, my motherland,which I heard of, seen its enchanting heavenly geography in photos, but sadly never been touch the soil of it..
I am still an unidentified "Me"... just because human encroached human place, just because the way I should explain myself was pre-decided by somebody else. And, therefore I have been walking miles in search of myself, "alone, alone, all alone".
