Conflicts - Bloods and Scars & A thin ray of Hope

"नेपाली हामी रहौंला कहाँ नेपालै नरहे"   Back on April, strong earthquake hit our country leaving thousands of lives shattered and the heart of Nepalese devastated. Nepal Police and Army were the first helping hands in that time of grief and disaster. Today, seven officers lost their souls in a peaceful movement! Yes, they had called it a peaceful movement! An officer was burnt alive. An officer was stabbed by a spear. A two year old kid of a constable was shot by a gun, inside his home. It is feeling very painful to write this – we are more heartbroken today, a #BlackMonday, by Tikapur incident. So-called protesters brutally murdered the police officers in the name of riot. How could one Nepali murder other Nepali? Shame on us... Many have said many things on the topic. People have got very disgusted and are angered which can be seen on the Facebook and Twitter posts.

She gave birth to six puppies out of which only one is left now, and he stills lives here. He doesn’t have a name. Unlike earlier, he has stopped following us. I think it was after watching Hachiko , in 2013 that this big love for dogs had seeded in me. It was only the matter of leftovers, otherwise, that we used to feed to dogs. To be honest, I still don’t feed him (nameless doggie) on regular basis. He wanders everywhere around and I’m out of the house a

#KathmanduDiaries - Beginning and Overview

For the group of people like us, our Kathmandu diaries mostly start right after we are done with our SLC exams. You might already have understood by now that whom people-like-us mean. I cannot generalize things for all but there are things that are likely common for people who belong to middle class family from out-of-valley. I, being one, am trying to share some pieces of my life here in the valley through this blog and somewhere amidst these blogging and sharing, I feel that I can relate many matters to others and theirs to mine. Coming to the capital as a kid with parents and coming to the capital to stay by yourself for the sake of study and stuff are much different. One has grown up enough to live alone (not literally though) and needs to grow further, for the future. One is now not holding hands of mom-dad and following them to the zoo and cinema halls. The excitement and nervousness for college life replace those amusements and fun as a kid. It’s all about TIME, why shou
