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. It is the very foundation of the accounting system which helps to run the business of the world...

Sleepless Nights......

Sometimes I go back into time when I was a child and replay some memories that are still fresh. Like when I was in class 3, I used to look at my seniors of grade 10 and think ' Wow! They are great. Awesome. It must be very difficult.' I remember my mom saying when I was a child - looking to our neighbor, 'Her son is a bachelors graduate. He is great now. When will my boy be big enough. It must be such a glory'. I asked my mother last time we had a chat, ' Mom I am a bachelors graduate. Am I big enough or great now?' Her lovely answer was, 'You are always my cute little kid.' Her comment meant that - its not enough. Life must be big. And things are just beginning. However, SLC was and not a great deal anymore from where I stand. Its easy. On regards to bachelors, I passed it too with good grades. And now I see the implications of referring them as difficult and glorious. It is because the responsibility that comes after the graduation is great....

Destiny?!?!??

People are just amazing being. What inspire one or demotivates one is completely unpredictable. Sometimes a small line from a best friend can change the whole cource of life. A line from a song or from stranger in a bus or a train or slogans of companies like that of Samsung, 'Next is what?' triggers some emotion of inspiration or strong will to change that we become a complete different person. Life is amazing, emotions are amazing. I have gone through many of the so called inspirational books, speeches and workshop. But for me, nothing works as much as the fiction trilogies.  They have amazing outlook towards the life we live and share with others. The trilogies like Hunger Games, Matched, Shiva, etc have left a strong impact in my inside. They touched my heart. They always provoke me to do something great and don't fear the future. But face it, get prepared for it. Sometimes I go back into time when I was a child. I replay some moments that I remember. Like when I w...
