nEarlier this year, I?d gone to Mcleodganj and spent 15 days there all by myself. The reason for my visit: to meet His Holiness, the Dalai Lama. It was an amazing experience. He held my hand and blessed me. For a practising Buddhist, this was a once-in-a-lifetime spiritual moment.

Whilst in Mcleodganj, I met a lot of people from across the world. The locals however, were even more interesting. I spent hours speaking to them about their feelings on being exiled from their motherland. What?s especially wonderful is how they have managed to preserve their rich heritage and culture in a foreign land.
