Salam,
I am glad whenever to be invited by our Ambassador, Mr. Donilo Anwar on a m=
eeting with one of our Minister in Wisma Embassy last night (ehm.. I came s=
oo late). It mean I was appreciated, I was given a good value to be a perso=
nal, a student and absolutelly an Indonesian in New Delhi. It was not only =
gave me an enjoyment, I found Indonesian food that I never found in JNU, bu=
t the more important thing is a chance to "get together" even we cant meet =
each other cause of our activities. I felt like a family although we came f=
rom many places in Indonesia, we have different culture, habit, character, =
and so on. But we felt like a family, Indonesian family.=20
Further in our group PPI India, this mailing-list ppi-india. There=92s no b=
oundaries wherever we are in India, Indonesia or another side of the world.=
No matter they are student, alumni, senior, junior, even Embassy staff, ci=
tizen and all of members we are member of PPI India. I=92m glad to hear tha=
t our alumni has decided to reunity in a frequently orders and developing a=
new spirit and idea of unity for our community later, yes for "who ever ca=
me for study in India". Great Alumni India! Thanks for Mr. Suhadi who pleas=
ed to provide his home for our meeting.=20
Several week ago, I was surprised whenever Iskandar requested me to organiz=
e his birthday party=85woww=85 It was my new experience to be invited on bi=
rthday party hihihi=85 (I don=92t care whatever you say hehehe=85) he defin=
itely invite me, appreciate me to be one of his close-friend and soo intere=
sting that it=92s a unique event. There was not only an ordinary birthday p=
arty=85that more than "get together". That was that our called "Unity in Di=
versity" ehm=85Mr. Karan Singh, JNU Chancellor said it, he requested us too=
.=20
Iskandar invited more than 180 peoples. The uniqueness is they, the guests =
came from many countries, they have soo many different in culture, surely w=
ay of thinkings, habits and soo much. They not only a JNU students, some of=
them are JNU Staffs, Our Lecturers, non-JNU students, Diplomats, Enterpren=
eurs and all our friends who stayed in Delhi even outside Delhi who came to=
participate on this event.=20
We had a dinner together by simple and spicy Indian food, delicious kebab, =
some soft drink and eventually performing a dance, yes an ordinary dance on=
Open Air Theatre Complex. You know we cant performing Indian dance it=92s =
soo fast and energic, they cant also performing "yapong", our traditional d=
ance that Iskandar and Nidya done on some events, even most of them never k=
now that how to performing what Christina, Charles, Ainura, Basheer or Hiro=
ko done, but it=92s no problem we could move our body and enjoy on commonly=
musics that smoothly mixed by DJ Pamma, a smiley Bihari. More than that we=
shared our experiences, our thinking, our background, even funny jokes hmm=
m=85 I felt we have no boundaries each other, We get together. It=92s very =
nice. How if we can remove all of boundaries and develope a vision to our b=
etter life??=20
One time whenever I said to one of Netherland girl, Annette who doing resea=
rch in JNU. I just made a joke, "Annette, I feel homesick and going to go h=
ome. Will you join and visit my country on summer vacation? So, you will se=
e what have been made by your grand pa there.." she answered me "Ohh=85dear=
, I don=92t think so, I'm so scarry..how if somebody know that I am Netherl=
ander and probably they will shoot me=85hahaha=85" Upps, I shocked, I shoul=
d not said it. I just made a boundary between us, we are student of JNU, al=
though we came from different countries which probably we had bad history b=
ut we still a family, we are a human. That was part of what Iskandar and ou=
r FSA (foreign student association) done to introduces our cultures, way of=
thinkings and the big idea is how to develope a "Unity In Diversity" to pe=
rforming an action for our better life.
Whatever we are, we still a human, God=92s creator and no more, we will nev=
er be same at all but we can get together to developing our vision. Again, =
if I take from some advices, "Togetherness is strength" although there=92s =
a diversity but we have one vision and work together for our better life.
