Mao's Plea
Today I wake up
to the sound of pouring snow.
It was thou Mao-Tse-Tung,
I remember.
Thy madness in disguised form of reform
full of chaos and fury,
Which at this time for thee
signifies nothing.

Thou butchered not only
mine race...
but thine too.
And now thou lay
there crying in the grave
mourning and repenting…
for it is too late.

Thou not only raged mortals
but Nature too…
and now thou face nature's rage
that chill thy bones
giving thee sleepless night,
even in the grave.

And the blood of innocents
which is unfathomable
drowns thee...
and cries of innocents…
pierce thy ear
making thee deaf.

In such circumstance,
thou shout and scream
to tell the ultimate fate
to thy fellow men
but all thine effort
goes in vain.

I heard it all and Mao’s pleas.
So, here am I
to reveal and to convey
Mao's pleas to thee...
thee fellow beings of his.
Don't let Tibetan's effort go in vain.
Otherwise thou will realize
in the grave...
Thy life was spent in vain.

In this present trend of globalization, one cannot afford to tread on the path of life as a lone figure. One cannot remain aloof from his civilization and society.

Alumnis' Outlook

kalsang DakpaCST Darjeeling is the institution that helped me find my wings to fly over the vast sea of uncertainty with some degree of confidence and intelligence. It was at this institution where I was first confronted with the real self that was incompetent but later with the guidance of teachers and the learning environment had made me realized the actual meaning of my life. It gave me a sense of responsibility and guided me towards my goal; it sharpens my focus and encourages me to excel myself to the fullest of my potential.

Honestly at the time of my departure there was lots of positivity in me about my coming future, and wherever I went I never felt myself lacking in any aspect, I was totally at ease in all respect, because basic foundation that was laid at this institution was more than strong enough to withstand any test of time. I did well wherever I went, I left an impact wherever I visit, I made good friends and I was very comfortable at it. All that we practice at CST Darjeeling were actually design carefully to create a better human being.

This is the school where I spent the most beautiful days of my life and although I may not have become what this institution would want me to, but whatever I learn in the process had made me a better human. So I owe a lot to this school. Thank you CST Darjeeling.

Oh, it feels so good to be back, dipping back in the memories that were so long gone, almost diminishing to nothing when the site of our hall all brought back those long gone thoughts and instantly refreshed me. Though i just studied there for 4 years, my strongest memories of my school life is always lies with CST Darjeeling. There i made some unforgettable friends and of course it is where my elder Brother and Sister studied, hence, we have a strong family background as well.

Last but not the least, when i first saw the school hall, I could not help but see myself swinging the rock hard Tingmo's from the hall window to the pretty ladies down there fluttering their blue skirt into the chilly Darjeeling weather.

This is a great alumni to gather all the withered ex-CSTians.

Thanks for this informartive website. I felt very nostalgic seeing some familair faces in the vintage photo section. I recognized the teachers and the Principal, Kugno Lhawang la. I had spent 1st through 6 or 7 grades in Darjeeling school.
I have been living in the US since 1986.
