After working days and nights, finally the 13th February 2013 arrived. The day marked 1oo years since the proclamation of Tibetan Independence by the 13th Dalai Lama. Personally, I was waiting for it, counting the days with my fingers. The excitement of celebrating Independence Day for the first time in my life and that too with my own involvement as SFT-Delhi’s campus coordinator made the day far more special. Events for our Students for a Free Tibet in Delhi included scroll reading, discussion on Historical de-facto of Tibet’s independence, cultural performances, poetry readings etc.
I was the anchor along with my friend Purandhya, perhaps the first time I was speaking in front of such a big event, to the crowd but I am glad that it went well. I did my best to gather all my courage even when I could feel the blood running through my veins and body shivering on the stage. Speaking everything on the spot without being prepared was quite an experience. On top of that, the whole event went very successfully as all members hoped for. The success of the programmes made me realise that our hard work and sweat has never gone waste. CHEERS to all my friends for the huge success!!!!
