I am currently studying the first year Tibetan at the University of Chicago under Karma Ngodup. The intense program focuses on grammar, reading, and translation, aiming to provide a solid basis for conducting research in and about Tibetan content and sources.

JAPANESE TEA CUPS
My mother went to Japan,
and brought back three ceramic cups.
She laid them on the lame, old table
that has trembled too many times under iron fists.
Well, damn, Father exclaimed.
The damned Japanese do make fine things.
They are stringent,
they put craftsmanship into everything, answered Mother.
They try too hard to survive
on a barren island.
They are pushed to extremes.
Extremes, I thought,
has a beautiful, wonderful meaning.
It is a perfection,
written in the white ceramic rim,
in the smooth and rolling curves
that bear no trace of the maker’s crusted hands.
Perfection dusted on the shelf,
living the soothing life
tea cups are meant to live,
till the day the shelves are knocked down and I put my books,
my diaries, my pictures, my childhood into a truck.
Why, mother—
Some things are never meant to be held together,
like a pragmatist and a poet,
like a woman and a man.
My mother went to the living room,
and brought back three ceramic cups.
She laid them in my lap and said,
perhaps you can find a use for them.

English has became my adopted native tongue after 7 years of studying in the United States. Even though I hold my creative work most dearest, I am immensely thankful to have been school in succint academic and content writing.
The language one learns to cherish at 13 and grows to grasp as one matures into adulthood is like teenage love,
