I met Dalai Lama today!

I always wished to meet the Dalai Lama at least for once in this lifetime. The Nobel Laureate for Peace and one of the world's most respectful leader in the present time is indeed any intellectual or educated person' biggest wish. He is viewed as the biggest threat by China.

Never thought I would meet such a great personality like that. Suddenly and so unexpectely. But I did!!!

My Director at the Morarji Desai National Inst. of Yoga (MDNIY), my new workplace, suddenly called for me today and directed me to escort Swami Dr. Parmanand, Vice Chancellor of Ram Krishan Mission University, from India Habitat Centre at Delhi's Lodi Road.

I was irritated to do such kind of unjouralistic work for the first time. I visited the place and after a bit of search, finaly located him at the sixth floor of Guest Building of India Habitat Centre.

I knew he was to attend some function here with Tibetan's Spiritual Guru Dalai Lama. But I least expected both of them would be having lunch together. I tried to approach Swami ji after they were done with their lunch. But he was busy with other guests present on the occasion.

Suddenly , I notice Dalai Lama was also leaving the place. Everyone was standing in line in his honour to say bye to him. I noticed him shaking hand with a Tibetan butler even, who bowed before him in deep respect for his country's God.

I was hesitant till I saw the Great Dalai Lama even shaking hand with that butler without any discomfort. Suddenly , I gathered courage and clicked him through my mobile. And, the moment he turned towards me as he approached the door, he noticed me standing there with a big smile.

He came closer to me and perhaps believing me to be one of the guests in that dining hall, bowed as a Buddhist courtesy to accept my greetings too. He held my extended hand for three to four seconds firmly with his large and Dunlop-palm and said: "Thank You Very Much" with a smile on his face. Both of us bowed to each other while holding each other's hands and he left the place.

He left me without words!

Never expected the most wished thing could happen just like that ever. That too Dalai Lammmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaa!!!
