Humor; no more

She: What do you want to do?

He: I want to go far away from here.

After few minutes of silence

He: I wanted to go Simla, I want to travel alone.

She: I’ll come with you.

He: I’m a boring guy, you’ll get bored with me.

She: With the humor of yours I will never get bored in my life.

After all these years of silence, she speaks to him again.

She: You are not changed at all. But, your jokes are not funny to me anymore.

He: I loved you all these years, I’ll always do.

She: Love someone else

Study in China

How I ended up choosing China to complete my masters degree? Let me tell you my story.

I first got this idea of studying in China from my cousin brother, he was here before. Things that fascinates me was the scholarship program and studying abroad of course. One other thing, an important one, is that I was confused about my future. I worked for a software company as a software developer for a year but still couldn't get confidence continuing the job. So, I thought doing post-graduation will give me some time to think about my future directions.

First morning in the new country

August 30, 2014

Arrived on time 12:20 at Harbin Airport. I was not expecting a Nepali Guy would be waiting for me to receive. We had to wait for more than 2 hours to receive another International Students arriving from South Korea.

It took 1 hr and 15 minutes to reach the International Student Dormitory because of the traffic otherwise it was nearly 1 hour drive. One good thing about China is many airports are made far away from the cities or residential area. The dormitory was a 12 floor building (There is no Ground Floor in China, therefore there are total 13 number of floors) with about 800 single rooms, looks very nice in international style. It didn't take much time to register for the dormitory because the university had already arranged everything and I was soon in my room 1238. It was on the 12th floor in Chinese.

Missed Call

"Why are you angry with me?" - I asked her.

"It's nothing, Leave it" - she replied

"Why are you behaving like this? What have I done?" - I asked her again

...

She said nothing, not a word for a minute

"If you want to punish me like this, fine! But, let me know my crime before you sentence me to death" - I bow my head

"You don't even let me show my anger" - she smiled.

It was big day for both of us. She had her IELTS exam and I had my technical exam. It was telecom service error that she didn't received my message, I had wished her best of luck for her exams. But she didn't receive my message, I guess. That is why she was fire on me. I explained her everything, I even showed her the message I sent her.

Few months later she text me saying she got the Visa. That was the last text from her. End of story.

Rise and Fall of Spanish Football

It was Euro cup 2008 I watched Spain play new style in the football. They pass the ball to each other quite often and score beautiful goal. The style was named Tiki-Taka. Spain beat the mighty German by 1 goal. A beautiful goal was scored by star striker Fernando Torres. I became fan of the playing style ever since.

Spain repeat the strategy in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, they beat Netherlands 1-0 at the final to become the world champion for the first time. Andres Iniesta scored in the extra time to beat the fellow European.

Technology and My Generation

I, literally, touched a computer for the first time when I was 15. We do not have computer subject in our school. I used to read magazines and study my sister's note from computer institute for computer basics. It was after school that I joined a computer institute to learn a formal course. I enrolled for Web Designing for some two months class. I wanted to take a computer subject in High School but I have no idea how to get one. I joined a high school for PCM (Physics-Chemistry-Math) as suggested by my brothers. I wanted to be an engineer like my brother.

Confused about love

What is love? I’ve always been confused about the word, ‘love’. I’ve also searched for the definition in the dictionary. Back on my time, (oh! I’m not that old to use this line, am I?) Let’s say few years ago, there used to be 1-2 definitions for a word, or 3-or-4 sometimes. But, as the time advances more and more definitions have been added to the name. What I’m trying to say is, the meaning of the word ‘Love’ is now more confusing than it was before. Few years back, ‘love’ means the affection or a positive emotion. I was not clear about the definition then, and now they added more definitions to the word, it says enjoyment, pleasure and sexual intercourse; seriously?! Sex? I thought people named ‘sex’ as ‘love’ just to convince their kids that ‘sex’ is not an appropriate word to elucidate to their age. Anyways, I’m not here to explain the many definition of the word ‘love’, I’m here to feel the love (am I exaggerating the stuffs? I hope not.) 

Highway To Hell

New is always nice. New clothes, new accessories, new gadgets and everything other that is new is nice. The value of anything is known only twice in time, before having it and after loosing it. Life is no more new, we gained life many years ago, we now do not care about it anymore. A near death experience will remind the value of life sometimes and soon after we again forget it. Specially the young blood, they have that energy stored in them since the childhood that one day soon that will burst out for revolution. We all did that, we may not remember but we all did something before stepped into our adulthood.

Why buy a motor bike

It was a normal day of my life, I was off for the day and going home tired. Lucky me that day, I got an empty seat in a local bus. It is not usual to find an empty seat in a local bus, specially during the office hour. Soon before the bus move, I got a company of an elderly man, he was around 40-45, seems like an banker or may be a businessman. It is my usual job, guessing people's age and job while on the bus. There was a heavy traffic than the usual that day, I was feeling lucky that I do not have to stand for that long. The man next to me seems impatient and start complaining about the government. I took earphone off my both ears and asked him if he says something to me. He was, like, amazed for a second and continue saying. He keep saying about the traffic in the Kathmandu, the pollution due to under-construction roads, politics and all. I was, like, yes... yes-of course... blah blah blah.

Bi-si-ka Jatra: The Festival of Dead Serpents

By Siddhi B. Ranjitkar

Bhaktapur is an ancient cultural city-state in the Nepal Valley. According to one estimate, it has almost half of the ancient wood carvings found in the South Asia. So, it would not be exaggeration to say that Bhaktapur is the center of the Nepalese culture. You can see remnants of the cultural heritage in Bhaktapur even today. One of them is the annual ‘Bisikia’ festival. Bhaktapurians celebrate the eight-night and nine-day ‘Bisika’ festival over the period of four days before and four days after the Nepalese New Year day in the Vikram calendar.

Origin and Evolution of Festival

The exact date of the origin of this festival is not known yet, however, this festival must have developed along with the expansion of the Tantrism in Nepal during the period of Licchavi region (400 A.D. – 800 A.D.) because most of the rituals performed to God Bhairava and Goddess Bhadrakali, and ‘Yao-sin dyo’ (symbolic union of Bhairava and Bhadrakali) are closely related to Tantra. In addition, this festival had evolved during the period of more than five hundred years when Malla Kings ruled Nepal from the beginning of the 13th century to the mid 18th century.

Manandhar Caste and Barahi Temple

When I was a kid, around 12 or 13, my English teacher suddenly asked me if I know that we Manandhars are forbidden in our city's greatest temple Barahi. I was like shocked. I said,  "I don't know, I'd just been there that morning". A friend next to me said she knew about the fact that the Manandhars are forbidden. I was so confused.

Few years ago, my aunt died because of old age, while on her funeral, my older brother told a story. As I like the story very much I listened to it quite attentively, as I always do. The story goes like this.
