Let me start off with thanking you guys for watching the first epi and leaving me lovely notes that reaffirms my nine months has not gone to waste..When i first started off i felt honoured to be asked to do the show and after watching the first epi, i just felt so proud to be a part of it…Nowadays i just go into the dubbing room to do some voice overs for the show,however, my two eps are really hard at work..compiling and editing and fine tuning the final product..kudos to them for their effort ..

The theme of second epi is Castle and with this in mind, we flew to three countries and found three radically different “Castles”…

GREAT BRITAIN: LEEDS CASTLE

 With a beautiful story behind every stone,leeds castle stands proud and mesmerizing as the morning fog drifts across the moat, when the morning dew make its way gently down the grass.. this is indeed a royal and splendid sight to behold. The story behind this castle showed me the beauty of life..of people…it displayed to me, in vivid colours, how much history plays a part in modern day and how we should cherish all we could learn from the past..good..or bad.

CHINA: 贵州屯堡 Guizhou 

The determination of folks from this fort to preserve their way of life and history is highly commendable..i envy them for their passion in holding on to believes that are dearest to their heart …For a moment i thought i have stumbled onto a film set, the fact being..i did not.Yester year is the present and modernisation has robbed this fort of its young people and as each traditional garb is discarded when the last soldiers of the fort passes on, one questions… would the day come when all is forgotten and history lost? This got me thinking..are all new inventions and way of life better that what it used to be? should we throw the past away and simply embrace the present? Look ahead and never look back?  i think not. 

INDIA: Jaisalmer

 

Rising above the desert, the majestic fort echoes memories of long ago ..it represents the affluence of the past and the will of people to survive.. It taught me what home meant..and how rooted and attached we could be to things , people or religion that we  feel  for.No man is an island..It’s emotions and ties that keeps us alive..and makes us human…

They may be collectively known as castles but are radically different. Likewise, we are collective humans and every individual is different. I learnt not to bemoan about my life as compared to another..and not to judge another by my own standards. For what is right.. or wrong? that all depends on what grounds are you standing upon.Unless we are judging on moral grounds, no decision will ever be right…and neither wrong.

walk with me,

if you think it is right .

In search ,

of a beatiful life.

February Seventeenth,year two thousand and nine. Time 2000hrs.channel U. Almost a documentary of my life for the year of 2008 will debut on this day,at this time.Right now,i am almost in jitters..almost a whole year spent on this project..risks were taken,flights were flown,efforts were made and all voice down to this fateful day.So much has been said and done..its D day…

BHUTAN: Thank you for the wonderful memories, for now i know, i don’t have to satisfy the whims and fancies of everyone, neither do i have to account to them as to how my choices are made .I don’t have to kow tow to social standards and so long as i live in accordance to my means, i believe, i will lead a beautiful life………

UTHAI THANI: Thank you for showing me the pleasures of a simple life, for allowing me to re discover the joys of  simplicity.For now i know, happiness is not derived from objects of high material value…that a simple stroll down a street could pacify my heart..and my soul.

SIKKHIM: Thank you for showing me the manifique himalayas..allowing me to feel the power of nature, the importance of nature…and the beauty of religion…

After watching the show, i hope that you will be able to feel the beauty of these three destinations and the revelations that i have had…

walk with me..

grow with me…

in search for the beautiful life.

 

Valentine’s day ,

A day where anticipated roses are sent and received with love,

where chocolates are wrapped, unwrapped and eaten for some,

For others, chocolates are dripped, licked and swallowed…

Valentine’s day,

when lovers unite as one,endearments flowed  and promises are made,vowing eternity..

when songs are played, becoming “our song” ,and lovers sway to the rhythm,basking in the lyrics that echoes the deepest part of their souls..

Valentine’s day,

the day the singletons hated,looking into the mirror, watching their lonesome life fade away..

Fret not if you are single my friend..you too have much to celebrate

Celebrate the love you have for life, for your family and most importantly, for yourself..

For you have come this far in life..and doing well..

You will never be alone, if you are reading this, for you have me to celebrate valentine with you

And so my dear friends,

My love to you,

Happy Valentine’s Day …………….

CONSCIENCE,

a word that replayed in my mind constantly, as i woke up today. In a world where chaos seemed to out weigh peace, one would think that mankind would desire peace to prevail. How could this be achieved? Simply by following one of the fundamentals of being a human, that is, to act with conscience. Before every action, reach deep into your heart ,ask yourself if what you are about to do will affect another’s life, if it is even fatally necessary to use another being’s life and death as your purpose to generate interest in your agenda and to profit from it.However, at the end of the day, it is your choice to make…and your choice makes you human or inhumane.

conscience: 1. the sense of what is right or wrong in one’s conduct, or motives, impelling one toward right action. 2. the ethical and moral principles that control or inhibit the actions or thoughts of an individual.

 

So its out..the travelogue that i did official debut is on the 17th of February on channel U 8pm. There was a sort of an event cum press con and i am grateful that the media turned up in full force..very touched and extremely grateful. Reasons being, well, in a certain way, when you lose touch with life here, you sort off a felt forgotten and mmm..not remembered and …don’t matter much to people.I am really glad that they hear me out and listen to my escapades and reported much of it…

This entry is a big thank you for all of you, for  your concerns and support over the past year and with that in mind,  i hope that the revelations that i have had, which will be shared with you guys on the show, will be of value to you and make a difference to your lives too.

希望你们能和我一起优游天下，找回最真的自己。。。
