    Switzerland is beautiful but nothing compared to
    the Himalayas. It is convenient to be in Switzerland
    with all its modern facilities. It is very inconvenient
    in the Himalayas.

    It is still without any technology at all – no roads,
    no electricity, no airplanes, no railroads, nothing
    at all. But then comes the innocence. One is
    transported to another time, to another being, to
    another space...

    I wanted to die there; and this morning, standing
    and looking at the sunrise, I felt relieved, knowing
    that if I die here, particularly on a day as beautiful
    as this, it is okay. And I will choose to die on a day
    when I feel I am part of the Himalayas.

    Death for me is not just an end, a full stop. No,
    death for me is a celebration.

    Remembering the snow falling from the trees, just
    like flowers falling from madhu malti, a haiku
    flashed....

    The wild geese
    Do not intend to make their reflections.
    The water has no mind
    To receive their images.

    Ahhh, so beautiful. Wild geese not intending to
    make their reflections, and the water not intending
    to receive them either, and yet the reflection is
    there. That is the beauty...
