“My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness”

Today, on 6th July every year Buddhists all over the world celebrate the Dalai Lama’s birthday. Especially important in a region of Tibet, where he was born.

Unlike the past when Ladakh used to hold huge celebration on Dalai Lama’s  birthday, in the midst of the Corona situation, his 85th birthday will be celebrated for the first time in McLeodganj without any grand ceremony.

He said from his home in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh. “It’s not possible for large numbers of people to hold a big celebration because of the restriction due to the pandemic. And it’s not necessary either”. “However, if you want to celebrate my birthday, I’d like to ask you to recite the Mani mantra (Om Mani Padme Hung), at least a thousand times,”.

Dalai Lama was born in Taktser, Qinghi, Tibet. He fled to India during the Tibetan uprise in 1959, and currently lives as a refugee. He is revered as a “living god”.
After the death of 13th Dalai Lama, he was enthroned when he was 4 ½ years old and renamed Tenzin Gyatso.

“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions”.

Dalai Lama believes and encourages people to be happy, his holiness is concerned to help people understand that if their minds are upset mere physical comfort will not bring them peace, but if their minds are at peace even physical pain will not disturb their calm. 

In 1989, he was awarded by the Nobel Peace Prize for his non-violent struggle for the Liberation of Tibet.
He has also authored or co-authored more than 110 books like Art of Happiness, The Book of Joy, Beyond Religion and several other books, promoting Peace, spirituality and views to unite Peoples.

“Monday in the evening, every house will celebrate his holiness’ birthday. It will be great celebration”, said Tseten Wangchuk, Chief Representative Officer of Tibetan Settlement in Leh, on behalf of the Central Tibetan Administration, Dharamshala.

Argentina’s hard-hitting and prominent footballer Lionel Messi prepares to leave his club Barcelona.
Messi’s contract with Barcelona is going to end in 2021.

Messi and his father, Jorge, had began discussing renewing messi’s last deal with the club, which was signed in 2017 but they no longer wish to advance the negotiation, according to the Cadena report.

Lionel Messi who plays as a forward and captains both, Spanish club Barcelona and the Argentina national team. He started his footballing career in 1995 at Newell’s Old Boys, where he played till the  year 2000. At the young age of 13, Lionel Messi jumped the Atlantic to try his luck in Barcelona, and joined the Under 14s. Messi made breathtaking progress at each of the different age levels, climbing through the ranks to Barça C, followed by Barça B and the first team in record time.

As per Cadena Ser, Messi is preparing to leave Barca at the end of next season after growing frustrated by the increasing number of problems that have plagued the reigning LaLiga champions in recent years.

Generally, Messi is considered to be a calm player, but for some time he has openly criticized the club and its officials.
Messi was angry at the media for leaking the confidential things of the club and also criticized the falling performance of the team several times.

It is said that he is  angry at the sporting decisions taken by the club, who have failed, he feels, to provide him with the right players to support him.

He is fed up by the strange atmosphere of dressing room and also with the fact that certain corner of club always accounts him for everything that goes wrong at the camp Nou.

Messi holds more major records than any other footballer in the world. Amongst them are the most goals ever scored in La Liga (433), the most Ballon d’Or trophies won (6), and the most goals scored by a single player in a calendar year (91).

The quake was the latest in a string of numbers of low-intensity earthquakes knocking the city over the last two months.

The earthquake was epicenter around 63 Km Southwest of gurugram in Haryana and had a depth of 53 Km and the tremors lasted for nearly 3-4 seconds.

Since April, Delhi-NCR has recorded more than 17 Earthquakes of low and medium intensity on the Richter scale –
April 12 – Delhi (3.5);
April 13-Delhi (2.7);
April 16 – Delhi (2);
May 3 – Delhi (3);
May 6 – Faridabad (2.3);

June 8 – Delhi-Gurgaon border (2.1);
