Peope around the world have strange believes. Some are shocking and some very surprising. Some believe that worshipping will make it rain on the field suffering from drought. Some antient people believed that tsunami or hurrican or any natural disaster was the wrath of God due to some ill activities of human. People do believe, and as a universal law of attraction...... 'YOU RECEIVE WHAT YOU BELIEVE'. I had been to Shree Pashupatinath with a good friend of minethis morning. It was my first time with her to any holy place. I just feel so awesome when I go to Pashupatinath Temple. We had been there because its a favourite place of her as well. While we were worshipping around the tample, at a particular spot - she asked me to turn around and look up, towards the GAJUR.  The Gajur was visible throuh a small peek hole created by positioning of many structures within the temple. Only the Gajur was visible through the hole. It looked beautiful. 'Wow its wonderfu', I sa...

“Mistakes and regrets - those are memory made” I tried to trace back how I come be so indifference about people and things around me. I was emotional, so sensible, and so fragile – but time and circumstances that came with it vanished those feelings. I remember one particular birthday when I was in grade 12 – 2007/04/27. There was a religious ceremony held to celebrate the day. I had invited my then close friends. They were 13 in total. Amazingly, none of those close friends even bothered to call me that day. I still remember my flooded eyes and wet pillow of that night. I couldn’t go to the college next day because I had ache in my head and heart. I couldn’t face my close friends. That hit me so hard that I didn’t wished anyone (not only those friends) on any occasions for almost four years since. “Fake” was the only word I always heard in my head whenever those friend’s name even came to my thoughts. I used to get irritated when I met people with names that resembled those ...

Last night I was going through a story by Paulo Coelho about a man named Manuel. The name was chosen to reflect the thousands of millions of people like Manuel who remain busy, go to office, don’t reflect on their life and don’t have dreams. They live their life like a machine operating a specific task up to their useful life. And die. Just like that. It is said, among many functions, dreams act as a tool to express frustrations. I slept as soon as I read the story about Manuel. The dreams were not good. Sometimes I cried and sometimes I tried to run but some invisible force always pulled me back. I could reach no where. Currently, I am working with a prestigious multi national company whose Head Office is located in Dubai and she has her branches all over Asia. I tried and dig in the history of this organization and found that none of the employees are ever promoted to any place outside Nepal. And the turnover of here is rapid. People always keep changing. This is not adding any...

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 insuffi...

While I walk in the street, my friends and relatives complain that I walk like I am going to beat someone. I guess the saying, “Walk as if you rule the world” made a deep impact on me from my very childhood. Not only that, I love observing people, their body language, their expressions and I also love to make guess of the situation that they might be in the current point of time. If you have never done this give it a try. Its so much fun. Last Thursday while I was returning from gym at around 6:30 pm, on my way I saw a couple sitting in the steps of a closed shutter. Couple as in a boy and a girl. The girl was carrying a baby, was saying something and her face were covered in tears. Though it was dark, I managed to look into her face with the help of the light of vehicles passing by. The boy was listening keenly. They were sitting as close as possible and at the same time, not trying to touch each other. I could look into them for only a few seconds. I  couldn't  stand...

बेमत्लब एकानतमा भौतारीएको मन लिई कुनै गल्लि सुन्यतामा पाईला यो चाल्दै छु सपनिमा-बिपनिमा कहिँ पनि मेल नखाने ढुङ्गा-माटो-भित्तोलाई आफ्नो साथि ठान्दै छु॥ नकाब भित्र छेलिएको वर्तमानको अन्धकार छिया-छिया पारेर भित्र हेर्न खोज्दै छु पट्टि कालो लाइएको तराजुको मुर्त मुनि आफ्नो पट्टि खोलेर सबै सहि हेर्दै छु॥ ऐना जस्ता छर्लङ्ग बिगतका सबैकुरा ऐना जस्तै झर्याम-झुरुम भत्किएको देख्दै छु पुराना दाग छेउ फेरि अर्को नया चिरा पारि चित्कारमा रमाउने अनुबार ति चिन्दै छु॥
