Step Into My Shoes..

 “I am a vegetarian” is what I tell my friends of whoever asks me when it’s time to eat. But I should just tell them that “I do not eat meat”, cause I do eat fish and eggs. That doesn’t make me so much of an animal lover, now does it? And people ask how that makes me a vegetarian. To that I’d like to say, if I said I was a non-vegetarian but did not eat meat, that’d make it sound more bizarre, wouldn’t it? I do not know why people fuss so much about what a vegetarian should eat and what they should not eat. And then they ask why I don’t eat meat. I don’t eat meat cause I don’t like to. Period. But today I write not on my behalf, but on Philip Wollen’s. Here’s an interesting find. Philip Wollen’s shakes the rafters of the auditorium with his 10-minute speech to the St James Ethics Centre and the Wheeler Centre debate in Australia on May 16, 2012. The larger debate consists of six speakers, three that make the case for getting animals off of the menu and three that make...

If you know me, you'll be surprised by the title of the blog. I hate rain. Period. But you've got to know that there ARE things that I do love about the rain. If I think about it, I don't hate rain, per se. I just don't like to be in it. That brings me to the first reason why I love rain. I love watching the rain drops from inside the window of my house. Office/School/Café etc? Nope. That would mean I had to be out in the rain sooner or later. I love being inside the safety of the house and watching the rain fall, and listening to the pitter patter. I love seeing the world being washed clean. Now here's a thought; does rain wash or makes it more dirty. If you ask an average Nepali, they'd say that rain makes it more dirty…the mud et al. If you ever catch yourself in monsoon in the Kathmandu valley, you'll see what I mean. The roads aren't built properly, so walking in Kathmandu during monsoon is a muddy-mushy business. *One of the reasons I...

*With Arms wide Open* Those who frequent my blog (which I'm sure there are few) will know that I keep this section where I write what I am doing at the moment. Even those who do visit the page do not notice it . Anyways, in that section, I was supposed to write where I work, or what project I am involved in und so weiter , but being a foolhardy reader than I am, I have chosen to write what I am "reading" at the moment. And right now, it says, Reading "Perfect Match" by Jodi Picoult, "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, AND "The Time Traveller's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger. Of course, t his is not to prove that I read a lot, but I just like to keep track. Coming to the point, it's been a while since I started reading the ones by Jodi Picoult and Audrey Niffenegger. It was already beyond my capability to be reading more than one book at a time that I added one more. I used to envy those who have read so much and can read ...

We call him whatever we fancy. Daddy, Dad, Appa(Korean drama influence), Papa, Pop...and he doesn't mind at all. Ever since I saw that TV add back when I was a kid, I cannot seem to let it out of my system. A cutesy kid screams, "My Daddy Strongest", and I used to think, No, MY Daddy's Strongest!! No matter how old I get, I will never get over the notion that my daddy is the strongest above all daddys. (And you are welcome to think the same; we're not holding any sort of competition here). He has three girls and coming from a background like his, you'll be amazed by the courage he had to bring us all to Kathmandu and educate us. I salute the absolute faith he has in us. He's like a friend and he's like a father, he's like a boss and he's like a companion. He was always there when we needed him and will be there when we need him. I will not say he is the perfect gentleman, cause he has his times of rashness. He is not always so friend...

“Joy is the best makeup.” — Anne Lamott I am a member of this website called goodreads.com. If you follow me in twitter, you will see that I mark the pages of the books I am currently reading. See, this website is not just about books, it is also about quotes. And they feature a quote every day. Today, 5th of June, they had featured the quote by Anna Lamott that I have taken the privilege to copy and paste at the top. Joy is the best make up, now isn’t it? I mean what could look more lovely on a person that a smile? I am writing after such a long time and it is giving me such joy.  I bet not a fortune worth of make up couldn’t make me more beautiful than this. Of course I have a truck full of other stuffs that make me happy. Tweeting makes me happy. Reading does it too. But enough about me. Lets talk about you. What do you like doing? Whatever it is, you should start doing it. If you have already started, never feel guilty and never stop doing it. Life is too s...
