Tastes like HELL but Feels GOOD

So many times in our life we develop strange habits backed by some events or circumstances. Everyone have some unique habit to them developed by a series of events that occur in life. I have been here in Kathmandu for around six years now. Kathmandu is just an amazing and wonderful place. It’s a heaven and hell at the same time. It’s a beautiful dream of thousands and a nightmare for thousands. Whatever people call it, I bet it’s a great place to learn. I am not talking only about studies – it’s a lesson for life. I learned a lot from this place, especially to struggle and to always be positive in every situation. I cannot call this place a heaven throughout my life, but it’s a great teacher and I’ll always be grateful for this place.

“Yo khaldo ma jati paisa haleni sakinxa” (No matter how much money you pour in, it’ll always be less in Valley) is one of the common saying among people who come to Kathmandu from other parts of Nepal. And it’s true. Money always seem to be insufficient. This has helped me develop many habits that will help me a lot in the future.

I wonder how many of you like drinking black coffee without sugar in it. If you are still in Nepal, I bet no one. But that’s a taste I have been addicted to by now.

One of my weakest point – among many – is taste for coffee. Many times even when I had only Rs. 100 in my pocket to go on for some days for my food and all expenses I would go to a finest coffee shop available and have a cup of coffee. I would be willing to stay hungry for it. However, I couldn’t continue this because it had side effects. It caused weakness. Later I discovered that making coffee at home would be very economical, but again there were numerous problem. So at the end I developed a habit of drinking it black without sugar, and in time got addicted to it. Its bitterness is wonderful of tastes I had ever had. I always wondered why people going abroad develop a taste for such a bitter thing, and now I got the answer. No matter where you are, human face same type of problems. We all are same.


The taste of the coffee always reminds me of one thing. Life is harsh, life is difficult and it tastes as bitter as the coffee without sugar. But there are two ways to live a life. First, take it as something bad – always be sad about it, live a life like hell, don’t ever enjoy. Second, develop a taste for it – life is not always sweet - accept it. Learn to enjoy – whether you be happy or sad you have to face it. Let the devil see you smiling even the worst of your time. At the end of the day it’ll make a great difference in your life and the life of those around you. Whenever I drink black coffee without sugar, it inspires me to look into things more positively. This is a great lesson for life which will help me be cool and stay composed in many turnings of life. I will always be drinking black coffee without sugar. It tastes like hell but feels so good.

Newton's Law of Bookkeeping

This is how science and accounting blend together. Newton’s Law of Motion III. “ For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. ” Double Entry Bookkeeping System: “ For every transaction that happens, there are two effects, one opposing the other, debit and credit. ” According to Newton, whenever objects A and B interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other. When you sit in your chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair and the chair exerts an upward force on your body. There are two forces resulting from this interaction - a force on the chair and a force on your body. These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion. ~ The Physics Classroom F­ A = F B The double entry bookkeeping system is the basis of all the transactions that takes place in the world.
