Noises From The McLeod Ganj

Hey, how you doing?

I am a Tibetan,

Came from Tibet,

Just trying to survive here, not living here.

Hey, I am an American,

came here for my spiritual development,

And now I am living here,

 And yeah, what is different between living and surviving?



Hey, I am a Tibetan, was born here.

Hoping to go back sometime soon,

Hey, I am British,

came here to make a documentary movie on The Dalai Lama and Tibet’s Issue.

It’s so peaceful here, so inspiring.



Hey, I am a Tibetan,

waiting for my visa, my golden ticket.

I am so bored here, I can’t survive here.

Hey, I am from Germany,

I am thinking about settling here,

got married to a Tibetan girl,

But she wants us to settle in Germany.

Why so? It’s so hard to survive there.





Hey, I am Tibetan.

I will be 67 in this June,

All my children are in New York,

And I live in an old age home.

Hey, I am from Vietnam.

Came here to become a monk,

But my Tibetan is not getting any better.



Hey, I am Tibetan college student.

My family survives on sweater business in winter,

I would love to work here after my studies.

Hey, I am an Indian.  I will be 72 on this may.

I have witnessed every phase of change in Tibetan exile community.

I have great respect for Dalai Lama.



Hey, I am a Tibetan boy,

I like pizza and pasta a lot, have you been to Dharamkhot?

My grandpa loves Tsampa. He says I should try it.

Hey, I am from Italy, I love this town.

The aroma, the scenery, the sky, the food and the people,

Everything is so wonderful, I just love it here.



Hey, I am a Tibetan girl, I love my grandma.

Every morning we use to go for circumambulation.

She always tells me about her life in Tibet.

Hey, I am an Indian tourist from Delhi.

I love His Holiness and also his temple,

So simple, Yet so magnificent,

This town is like a multi cultural museum.

I love being here.
