It was my day: July 31st 2012

It was actually my DAY as my friends teased me saying , "aaja yesto thulo mahan parwa "

Many people I had encountered with, do not find the day; they were born special or extra ordinary or something they want to live for, but whatever the age might be, the charm of the "BIRTH DAY" has never diminished from my heart rather it excites me more. I agree, I am adding up my age but that can never stop me behaving like a kiddo. After all there is a child inside all of us.

This year's 31st July brought me new happiness and taught me new lessons too. To tell you the truth, I had no clue that it would be spent in such a mesmerizing way. However, I knew it would go very well as I had already made a different plan this year.

My day started with a surprise package right from my bed in the early morning. Just imagine, I was sleeping on my bed and all of a sudden you hear some people popped in your bedroom singing birthday song screaming loud and clear with birthday cake right under your nose. How would you feel? I was super shocked and was really HAPPYYYY !!! They made my day :)

Next, I'm sure the innocent and loving heart of Dil Shova Shrestha had touched many hearts after the interview was shared extensively in  facebook users timeline.  I was one of them and I had made up my mind to help her whatever I can from my side that very moment. I called her up to express my gratitude and asked her if I could help her in anyways.

But to my amusement, she said after the "Dishanirdesh" program was aired on television, people had flooded her place with tons of food and eateries and because of that, they are having a hard time even to manage space to sleep. She asked if I could donate some money instead. Here, I didn't want to donate a nominal amount of money rather want to give away something that has value directly to the needy people and see them smiling.
So, I thought of buying some stationary items for the little kids over there and chocolates to give away. But, the fact, the place was flooded with tons of necessary stuffs, I somehow felt like I should help those who are real in need rather than just giving away things to them who already possess. 

I was not trying to do it for the sake of doing it. I wanted to start another year of my life in a positive way, spreading smiles as much as I can. So, I changed my plan and went to an orphanage called Sahara Bal Griha, an unnotable organisation in city where almost 15 kids of different ethnicity and age live under one roof. I was indeed more happy to share my happiness with those small little kids who actually were happy to get those chocolates, exercise books, pencils, pens, drawing books etc. Though I couldn't do much, small support from my side made them smile too and looking at their smile, you can imagine how I felt.

Last not but the least, it was the time to party... after all... it was my birthday... We headed towards a place in Baluwatar... ate like a horse, danced like the devil and laughed like drain.  Oh What fun we had.

And, here comes our adventurous ride at night. I had promised in the early morning that I would go and visit Budhalinkantha Temple while visiting Sahara Bal Griha but forgot it completely after so much of hassle. While returning back to home, my brain somehow made me remember that, so there was no way to break my own promise. So, here my exhausted soul couldn't rest and went to the door of God. I won't lie, I was little scared too as it was already very late and the load shedding of Nepal makes it worst. Nevertheless, I along with my dear people reached there safely and with our content and happy faces returned back crossing the Ma. Pa. Se check at various places. Here, I fulfilled my another promise. :)

All in all, I must say, this day has filled my heart with Rainbow and here I am just pasting my facebook status one more time for the good people I have in my life :))

I had to let you know again how great it was to see you all this morning. I had never cut my cake right on my bed on my night dress and you all made me do that...Thanks for that Surprise visit ...What more can I say? Adding up an age is not always fun but with you all, I find it so simple. Thank you all one more time for taking leave from offices and spending the whole day smiling with me.With family and friends like you guys to spend time with, any age is great! I am BLESSED :)

And at times...

At times, you feel like you are being dragged in no way for no reason.
At times, you know the answers but you just don't want to utter a single word.
At times,you just want to scream at your loudest voice, but you keep quite...
and at times, the sun sets before it's time and....
I agree at times, it rains when there's no any sign.

It's a wonder plant !

My doctor suggested me to use cream which contain aloe vera, and I felt like why not directly apply aloe vera gel when it's there in my backyard instead of searching a cream. After, I read this, I am more into Aloe vera these days and I guess you all can try too. I must say Aloe Vera is actually a wonder plant.

Suitable for all skin types, I found out that aloe vera gel can be used even by people with sensitive skin and I am way happy as I have a hyper sensitive skin. Here, I have found out more about it's benefits.

1. Aloe vera gel is great for moisturizing.

Popularly used as a moisturizer by women who use mineral make-up regularly, aloe vera gel is great for face. Applying aloe vera gel on skin prior to application of make-up can prevent the skin from drying.
Aloe vera gel can be used as an aftershave. Its healing properties can treat small cuts caused by shaving.

2. Aloe vera gel is great for treating acne.

Aloe vera gel has antimicrobial properties that kill bacteria and anti-inflammatory properties that reduce skin inflammation. It allows the skin to heal quickly and naturally with minimal scarring. Aloe is moisturizing but doesn`t give skin a greasy feel, so it`s perfect for anyone with an oily complexion.

3. Aloe vera helps fight common problems of skin aging.

Let`s face it: as we get older, everyone begins to worry about the appearance of lines and the loss of elasticity in our skin. The vitamin C and E present in aloe gel can improve our skin`s natural firmness and keep our skin hydrated.

4. Aloe vera can lessen the visibility of stretch marks.

Whether due to a growth spurt, weight change, or pregnancy - many of us are plagued with unsightly stretch marks. These marks appear due to minor tears in the layers of the skin caused by sudden and excessive stretching. Aloe vera gel can help hide these stretch marks by healing these wounds.

5. Aloe vera can be used to treat sunburn.

Aloe vera gel can reduce the pain and swelling you experience during sunburn. It acts as a protective layer on the skin and helps replenish its moisture. When the skin is hydrated, then it will recover faster from the sunburn.

These many benefits and I was wondering. Let's try the natural way this time to cure our skin. If you had already tried it or are a regular user, do let us know how does it work! I am applying it for sure after all I believe natural remedies are way better than chemicals !

Service Charge !!!

The culture of eating out is gradually taking it's pace. Working hard like an ass for a week and seeking for some good food has become a staple routine in city areas. As far as possible people love to nibble something like fast food everyday.
Keeping up with the trend, I am one of them who regularly have to search her lunch pack in some restaurants. I agree, a lazy bum like me has no other alternate too...As usual, I went to a restaurant yesterday to fill my empty tummy, stay on a Que for a couple of minutes, grabbed those food coupons, gave it to the counter again, waited for another some minutes...and here the number was called. I got my order from food counter itself.

Everything was going well. The ambiance was ok, food was equally good. But here, my temper got high as soon as I saw the bill. It had a self service board hung at every corner and accordingly the customer were serving for themselves. This was perfectly fine for me but What am I supposed to do When the bill showed 10% service charges as well. .Aree when I am doing all the effort by myself, Why on Earth do I have to pay an extra amount as service charges? I wonder what was the service I got except the cooked food? I couldn't stay deaf and dumb and asked the person, is it something fair? He didn't have an answer and said it's a rule and they can't help it. It's the trend that's going on and still continuing.

It was ungrateful, it was something unlawful, it was something that irritates a normal soul. Disgusting, disrespectful, fraudulent and something very annoying I say.







Adieu till my next post friends ! God Bless !

Which one of the door will you open???

Which one of this door will you open? Money, Luck or is it Love? 

Which one is more important? Which door will you open? Think for a moment and reply...Is it Money or you believe in Fate instead? Are you inclining towards LOVE? Do you think Love is everything? So, tell me which one do you choose??? Is it MONEY? Is it LUCK or it's simply LOVE ?

Here, I remember that popular statement we used to write in slam books when we were in school: Money: "Money is something but not everything". I still don't remember why we used to think that way, when we even didn't know What money exactly is? I again remember those days when we used to have debates on Fate/Luck Vs Karma/Work and every time those who speak in favour of Karma grabbed more points. So, what left? Love? A bit difficult question now..! Love is something really divine, it's something that you feel and can't express in words. Love makes your life worth living. Love is magic. Love is beyond definition.....

But, deep down inside, I am sad to share this, I recently got to read:

"Falling in love may feel like a meeting of hearts and minds. But in reality it's a kind of temporary insanity driven by hormones." scientists say. Julia Stuart reports ! now What?

Let me ask you again... so which one of this door will you open? Money, Luck or is it Love? 

I myself am in dilemma... I am lying down on my bed right at the moment... I am in pain....It is extremely difficult to pass time like this. I am depressed. I am frustrated. Doctor warned: I shouldn't walk, I shouldn't talk much and most of all I shouldn't eat what I want. My mind has become dumb, body feels numb ...and there's only feeling of pain flowing in my mind...!!!

So, let me ask you one more time...which one of this door will you open? Money, Luck or is it Love? 

A line which I used to read in school, "Health is Wealth" is revolving in my head. I never took this statement seriously. I never ate what I had to eat. I never took rest when I had to take. I ran for "Money, I tried to grab Luck and I searched for Love'. But, all I feel is empty handed now....I regret, I never had time to myself...I never realized I am equally important, I never realized Health is Wealth in real terms....and now I am lying on bed helpless...!

Money can't bring back my time that I spent on lying like this, Luck nor can and Love did not cure/conquer my disease...So, I got an answer as which one is important for not only me but for you too?Have you ever thought how Healthy is your Health??? You must be thinking, money is treating me, you must be thinking luck is helping me to live. But I question myself, if I were healthy, I wouldn't be needing this freaking money, if luck was in favour, I wouldn't be this torn ever....

So, let me ask you one more time...which one of this door will you open? Money, Luck or is it Love? 

and if it's about me Health comes first !!!

So, here I repeat: Health is Wealth - Preserve it ! Take good care of your body, after all it is the only one you have got. Once again, right now you may feel that this will not bother you at all, but at some point it is going to take a strain on your body and by then it will be too late....

Think before it's too late or shall I once again ask: Which one of this door will you open? Money, Luck or is it Love? 

* Here, I is an imaginary character ! 

Keep living and loving!

that Traffic Police didi...

Oh that lady traffic police !!!

I never miss to see that traffic police didi while coming to office. The chaotic traffic, horns and honks, hundreds thousands of people and that strong simple lady ! 

It's raining cats and dogs but you see her standing tall,  it's a windy day and she's still doing her job. The scorching sun is bothering me here but see she still is blowing her whistle there. 

I salute her and for her energy, for her determination and for her dedication towards the general public. I say real Iron lady to her.

Pedestrians are walking without following the signals, drivers are rarely following the traffic rules. Many drivers/riders are overtaking from both the sides, and violating the lane disciplines. The speed of the vehicles you see always high on roads that are often in bad shape with a  pothole. But that bold lady, I see trying really hard to make them follow the traffic rules. She shouts, she screams and when needed she cuts the cheat sheets. Oh that real Iron lady, Oh that traffic police didi.... !!!

I wonder how many of you have an idea about the facilities she, like other lady traffic police is getting from Nepal Government? I have heard lady traffic police have no enough place to live in. Not even separate restrooms to rest. Recently one of the national publication published an article regarding this and nothing has been done yet. I had a thought and that says, we spend so much amount in women empowerment, leadership and equality but when it comes to grassroot level, it never reaches.

I speak, Why are we serving those "useless 601 Constitution Assembly(CA) members for this long and Why are these real heroes go invisible instead? We hear Prachanda's new residence was purchased for Rs. 103 millions, Prakash his son posted in his facebook that it was leased for Nrs. 60,000 per month. Whatever it is, but why aren't we concerned about those traffic policemen's place to reside yet. 

My another confusion, I wonder how much these traffic police are paid for their performance because working in field, ignoring the weather, and tackling hundred thousands of people directly is not an easy task and let's not forget traffic police themselves are not secure too. I remember an incident when a lady traffic police was hit by a bike and ran away: Please refer : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czzp487qEFg&feature=player_embedded ....you will gasp for a minute. 

So, let's think about these traffic policemen for a second and start respecting them as their dedication towards the mankind is beyond price. Three Cheers to that Traffic police didi , Three Cheers to the entire Traffic Policemen !

Keep living and loving!

GeNeRaTiOn NeXt !

And I say Oh My Lord this is Generation Next! 

I remember it was a cold gloomy morning; I was sipping my coffee and flipping the pages of newspaper. Suddenly my cousin brother came running.  7 years old that little chap was asking me to help him open his facebook account. I was astonished at first and then I asked him the reason Why? Afterall that little kid doesn’t even know how to write about him in more than four sentences and he wants a facebook account ! OMG! 

He stared at me as if he is my senior and within a fraction of second I can see that unique smile of him. His cute dimples on both sides looked flawless.  I bet that innocent face can successfully manipulate any creature of this world.  He then replied: “Dijju everybody has it in my class and they want me to join in too. We can talk in facebook and can even put pictures of our school picnic”. Oh my God was the first thing I uttered. What do you expect me to answer him now? I was really surprised. I said Ok will do that in the afternoon. He nodded his head and grabbed my cell phone. He knows how to unlock it, go to application and find his best game to play.

And I say Oh My Lord this is Generation Next!

My 7 years old brother shared an incident last night. His classmate wrote a letter to a friend of him and she was detained. I had a rough idea in my mind already but was so anxious to know what was written there so hurriedly asked: “So What was written there in that letter hmm? ”  “I love you Dhruv”. “She had also brought some chocolates to give him“ He replied. Now, this gave me goose bumps . I couldn’t response for a second. “Do you know What love is babu?” was my question to him and don’t ask what he did? He was too shy to answer, so he ran away to get his glass of milk.

And I say Oh My Lord this is Generation Next!

Having said all, I  am scared, I am worried. Who to blame for these little minds? While parents strive to teach their children about independence, they should never cease to forget that the kids need to be under their benevolent watch at all times. Parents need to step up and take responsibility for their kids, afterall "AS YOU SOW SHALL YOU REAP" !

Keep living and loving!

.

and my sister got married !

To the outside world, we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time. - Clara Ortega

Two and half years elder than me, I would describe her as a charismatic person. Extremely straight forward, zero diplomatic, reckless spender, a food lover and too kiddish at times describe my sister better. 

I grew up seeing her ambition for studying and working hard. I always remember, she writing a "R.J, Radio Jockey" as her ambition in everybody's slam book at school. She used to mimic like a RJ and used to ask us questions as if we are her listeners.  And today, she is one of the most popular RJ in town. Her passion for achieving her ambition has always taught me that through hard work anything is possible. The trick is not just to feel passionately about your job, but to act passionately too. If you act passionately, you won't sit passively is the "mantra" she always shared with me.

I admit I am blessed to have her in my life...

That curve in her lips never fades away and always inspires others to live life every single day. Though two years older than me, I still remember those school days when I used to comb her hair, iron her dress, polish her shoes and arrange her geometry box before going to school... and yes some of those habits of her did not change and till date she asks me once before she plans to get anything new that comes her way.....

Again, I admit I am blessed to have her in my life... 

The day when her wedding date was fixed, I felt something very strange. That feeling of separation couldn't let me sleep. I wondered if she could handle all those responsibilities with the same smile on her face? I wondered if she could adjust in the new environment with the same grace? I wondered if she could transform his house into a home with the same charm she puts on every single day? After all they taught us marriage in not just about marrying a guy, it's marrying his whole family. It's not just about making him happy, it's about how you please every single person over there. But, the fact that she is marrying the person she loved always brought my smile back. 

It was February 7th, the D'day! From taking her to the beauty parlor to the wedding procession, I was shivering and I was more nervous. I looked at my Dad's and Mom's sulky face, my brother's distressed pace and I looked at my sister's grace. Her grace and glowing face was undoubtedly the Best ! The whole wedding procession she lived with a big bright smile and now it was that unbearable time, the emotional time, the time to wave her hands to her birthplace, the time to bid adieu to her dad, mom, sister, brother and her adorable bruno. Tears rolled down and words struck. It was actually unbearable. It was actually intolerable........!!! 

Today it has almost been a month and a half  and we still are flipping those wedding albums, we still are shuffling the wedding video and still our eyes get wet looking at the ending part. However, what matters is her smile and "touch-wood" she is absolutely happy with her hubby dear in her new beginning and we are extremely glad looking at her smiling face.....!!! 

and yes I should repeat :  We are blessed to have her in our life... !!! 

Keep living and loving !
