let's be adventurers

How about we go into an airport and buy tickets for a random flight?
Or throw a dart at a map and go wherever the hell it lands.

Perhaps we could live in a pent house in Paris.
And go on a midnight stroll in Champs-Élysées,
and walk in the alley where great artists have walked.
Talk. Walk. Drink wine.
And absorb quietly at "The Louvre."

And how about that road-trip we always talked about.
Drive across Spain like a real Spaniard.
Listen to Catalan guitar.
Attend a masquerade.
Be-friend a complete stranger.
Bade goodbye without exchanging whereabouts.

Let's go to Sydney.
Visit 42-Wallby way asking for Mr. P. Sherman.
The place where they found Nemo.
Because Nemo - I LOVE.

Night at the beach in Maldives.
Send message in a bottle and hope it sails far.
Eat that exotic food.
and drink from a coconut.

Darling, let's be fluent in foreign languages.
Experience zero gravity.
And have a silly sting fight.
How about sailing across the world-
and break a world record.
Learn to tap dance.
Visit Japan.
Visit Jamaica.
Sistine Chapel perhaps.
Hike to Machu Picchu.
Dance in the Rio carnival.
Attend "Kings of Leon" and "30 Seconds to Mars" concert.
And see the "Northern Light" - its like circus in the sky.

Or something simple maybe-
Like write something in a wet cement.
Smash a watermelon and start a melon fight.
Rooftop picnic.
And sleeping under the stars.
Hike the nearest hill-
and stay at the top quietly for hours.
Collect books and build a library one day-
so tall that you need a ladder to reach the top shelf.
Buy prayer flags in all colors.

Re-unite with everyone you love.
hug them tight before saying goodbye.

Love, let's be adventurers.

Romancing the Winter.

Winter winds - be kind.

Blow them clouds away.

I need stars to blanket the night sky.

I need them to twinkle,

to entertain me.

I watch the train of traffic in a distance,

each with burning headlights.

- Yellow and Red.

And when I look up there is a silhouette of a bird.

Flying.

Free.

And beautiful (so beautiful).

I think of me,

- My life, as I juggle my eyes between the silhouette, yellow and red.

I wonder when did the minute changes took place from then to now.

How beautiful it (my life) was and how it still is.

Ahhh, thank you life.

Eyes still searching for stars.

Oh Winter! Be kind.

happy-ever-afterness :))

"There's an ancient Chinese myth about the red thread of fate, it saids the gods have a red thread around everyone of our ankles and attached to all the people whose lives are destined to touch. This thread may stretch or tangle, but it'll never break." - Touch.

     I know not what destiny is. I know not what destiny means. I know not if I am a believer of destiny. But daddy destiny sure is an interesting thought. Probably connecting with so many of blog readers just like yourself is what they call destiny. Come to think of it - We aren't related, are we? We aren't from same place, are we? But we are connected somehow. May be this is destiny. When I started this blog - I was like a kid in a new city, new country. It started with formal salutations. Later progressed to semi casual conversation. I decided to join twitter and there I found people who so enthusiastically supported me. And now, a year later, we still talk. May be this is destiny.
     I left my home to pursue education. It was all new - country, city, language... everything. 5 years later I marvel at what life has given me. Friends I call family. Job and life I esteem. May be it was my destiny to come here and meet them all. Must be destiny, must be.
     I know not what future has in store for me and I know not what destiny is. But I thank all of you who came into my life and made it merry. I hope destiny brings us faraway travels, beautiful moments, cash to flash, worthy fame, good life, happy-ever-afterness and so much more. Here's wishing you all better days and new friends. :))

*Make thyself happy*

     Fuck grammar!!! For a change let's treat Happiness not like an adjective but like a noun. Yes, a noun. Let's treat it like an object we are supposed to chase after. Feelings (adjectives) are distorted, you can't exactly weigh emotions but objects (nouns) on the other hand are visible and hence approachable. I shall hereby repeat - 'nothing comes automatic (unless there is fairy god mother who's willingly waving her magical wand), so work towards what you want.'

• If you've people who are dictating your life and telling you that you can't do certain something, punch them (not literally) on the face and show them that you can. And in case you fail, hide yourself under the table for sometime. Trust me you are more resilient than you think.
• Let go of 'I don't care attitude.' Everybody cares about what the other people says. Why do we care? Dang, because they are people. So hold your calm and do what you gotta do. Things will get better.
• Okay, I understand you'd not go to the person and literally (like literally) express that you care about 'em but show that you care whichever way you can. You wouldn't want to die before 'em knowing how much they meant to you (Did I just say death, Oh!!! Dark subject).
• Let yourself be happy. Cut the crap and crappy people out of your life. Hold the close ones tight. Buy yourself things - your favorite chocolate, that dress you want, that gizmo you've been eying on, every this and that you want (Here's the catch - bargain if you can and try not to run out of your credit).
• Drink hot chocolate, indulge in alcohol (drive safe), get more sunshine, keep touch with friends, initiate a phone call (don't give excuses like "i was going to call you"), laugh, dance and Facebook (Life is simple).
• Read good books. Hate reading... then watch good movies. Go outside and travel. Try new foods and meet people. People are  perennial source of entertainment. Happy people makes you happy.
• Bitch about people you don't like (know who to bitch to or with). It does good to you when you let go and ventilate out the negativity. It makes more space for good. So bitch and let go.
• Ask for what you want: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! So just say it!
• Stand up if you want to be seen. Speak up if you want to be heard.
• We are not standardized, processed sausages meant to look, taste and feel the same. Be glad that you are weird and different.
• Show that you are happy. Go and be sad when you have to. Express when you are angry.
• Remember, the things I wrote up there (and I was thinking and typing simultaneously) are just a reminder. We all know what to do. The real question is why don't we do it. And answer to that I don't know myself. But once in a while, all you need is a reminder. So, last in the list should be the reminder that we all deserve to feel good and be happy. If you love yourself and life that much, you'll have to work towards it.
• Before I go, I just want to say Fuck my List. Make your own and boogie your life away. After all, nobody knows you better than yourself (super chiché ) so, just follow your gut feeling. If your gut feeling fails you. Simple, follow the next gut feeling that follows. YAY!!!

P.S. When you make your list, do it in less than 5 minutes. Over thinking will lead you nowhere. Hasta luego.

.............................................................................................................

MTV cribs taught me to dream big!!!

Part 1 : As of now.

     Its cold Saturday afternoon. I've been listening to "papi chulo" like dumb blond. And out of nowhere a thought crossed my mind, "follow your gut feeling." I know cliched but its powerfully true at the same time. And it suddenly became "A need to blog this moment."

Part 2 : Papa don't preach!!!

     Nobody knows you better than yourself. So you might as well put logic's to rest and follow your gut feeling (you see, gut feeling is not exactly like hunches!!!). At least you'd end up doing what you feel like and there's nobody to blame except for yourself. *Wowser* The core of man's spirit come's from new experience. And our audacity to chastise ourselves to not experience new empiricism. So go chase a dream. Chances are that you'll achieve some percentage of the things you want (if not 100%)... but the fact of the matter is that you might achieve it all. I'd be a hypocrite if I say I've followed my gut feeling all along. I was one of those kids you know, the kinds who weren't sure of what they wanted from life and to be honest am still confused. When opportunity presented itself (I got full scholarship / ahhh... stop am I'm not bragging or I'm) in a medical school, I grabbed it. But was I sure of what I picked was the right thing for me? "HELL to the NO!!!" Oh'yes, I risked it all and thank gosh it's working out for me. I plan to do something else though. Something related to medical field yet something radical. And you guessed it... I'm in confused state of mind. My gut feeling says finish the med school (1 and 1/2 years to go), get the medical license and I'll figure out the aftermath when I have to. Cross the bridge when you get there.

Part 3 : Look who's talking!!! *eye-rolls*

     Let's say if I weren't playing it safe, what would I do then? Oh'well I always wanted to start the magazine of my own (which kinds... I donno), I always wanted to be documentary film-maker (I twaddled about it while in school, to the point almost everybody knew about it), I always wanted to open chic bar in Ktm town (o'course I've it all figured out in my head)... Oh!!! wishes, dreams, whims but as Pussy Cat Dolls would put it, "careful what you wish for coz' you just might get it."

Part 4 : Uncle Universe, will you make my dreams come TRUE?

     I believe in THE UNIVERSE. I believe if you really want something (not the whimsical one's), like really want something; UNIVERSE has its way of giving it to you. You just need keep your eyes wide open. And dreams do come true, just one at a time. If you've been dreaming of huge well furnished condo with swimming pool and all (MTV cribs might have influenced your dream here #just sayin') chances are that you would get 'em. Here's the catch, "one at a time." And who knows you might just get better than what you bargained for.

Part 5 : Fanciful Footnote *yay*

     First of, follow your gut feeling. Some will get angry, some disappointed but life is so very short. You blink once and there's the new day. So just prioritize yourself and rest will follow. (Oh'no, I sound selfish o.O).
     So I'll continue dreaming and quite possibly Uncle UNIVERSE will respond to my not so futile dreams and you'd one day come visit me in my bar (in Ktm town o'course). Sipping, reminiscing and reading my magazine just next to the fireplace mantel where I'll put all my awards won as a documentary film-maker. And I read somewhere that, "it's not the dreamers who dream in their sleep who you should be afraid of, it's those who dream with their eyes wide open." So dream on *losers*

Are't we all lil' devils???

     What if I tell you right now I have to ask you something. Your human instinct will browse through all the nasty and naughty things you've done recently (am just assuming all of your brain works the way mine does). Are't we all lil' devils in that way? We all are attracted to things which are seemingly dangerous and with fun element in it. Don't we ever indulge ourselves in guilty pleasures and regret later. Haven't we all enjoyed bunking classes. Haven't we all felt those established negatives namely jealousy, depression and occasional indulgence in petty arguments. No saint only sinner. But these are the things which will make your life colorful. You've got to feel what you are meant to feel. We focus so much on thinking positive that we forget its not what is important. Its feeling positive that is important. The evil part of us (evil might not be the right word here) is what balances the sunny side of us. La Bella e Vita. So, when someone says they have to ask you a question, and you think of all the bad things you've done recently; just remember we all have an unspeakable secret , an irreversible regret , an unreachable dream and an unforgettable love.

"awahk, awahk, NEPALESE are the coolest?"

jomsom, nepal.

Nepal...  where parents get our ears pierced when we are a mere toddler, where farmers usually have traditionally made tattoo, where teetotaler is a retard (drink u must), where dancing and singing are strictly taken after get-together's, where pple play cricket on road- protest on road- set mimi shops on road- hold wedding procession on road- hold death procession on road, dang n' so much more, where tea is an absolute necessity, where pple actually go hustle-bustle and traffic rule is a foreign word, where beggars are fancy and where you have to get in line for almost everything (even to pay your tax), where pple know all the movie songs but not the national anthem, where sound of the bells and the dog's bark is tad too normal, where people are totally laid-back and will prolly run late at their own wedding, where everybody is a doctor (supp with everybody suggesting the meds), where pple are happy despite all the problems!! "awahk, awahk, aren't we the coolest?"

....that we are not alone!!

     We dream of hope, we dream of change, of fire, of love, of death. happens; the dream becomes real, and the answers to this quest, the need to solve life's mysteries finally shows itself, like the glowing light in the new dawn. So much struggle for meaning, for purpose and in the end we find only in each-other our shared experience of the fantastic and the mundane. The simple human need to find a kindred, to connect and to know in our hearts....
that we are not alone!! (heroes)

thought no.2//

     If we are individuals courageous enough to be honest with ourselves instead of spending time and energy to be perfect in this imperfect world, we would rather recognize that howsoever 'lawful' our state and howsoever compassionated our constitution, unless we first, accept that we have unlawful tendencies within ourselves; and second, do something to get rid of them. We will never live in lawful society in its truest sense!!

................................................................................................................

thought no.1//

     While u wanted things to stay the same, thats just not possible. Embrace change whole heartedly. This sense of adventure will help you through experience and you may even start to enjoy it. So let bygones be bygones!! Also when you are brooding over your past or making elaborate and immaculate plans for the future, you are losing your present. Its not what happened in the past. It is not abut what can happen in the future. The time is now. It doesn't matter what you can be. Nothing else matters than the moment at hand. Take clues from the past and plan for the future. In the meantime enjoy your life now!!..
much love till I write thought no.2// cya

:: as Gandhi wud say "be the change u want to see"

duality!!

     There is good and there is evil, right and wrong, heroes and villains. And if we are blessed with the wisdom , then there are glimpses between the cracks of each where the light streams through. We wait in silence for these times when sense can be made.. when meaningless existence comes into focus, and our purpose presents itself. And if we have strength to be honest, then what we find there staring back at us is our own reflection, bearing witness to the duality of life, that each one of us is capable of both the dark and the light, the good and the evil, of either, of all. And the destiny, while marching ever in our direction, can be rerouted by the choices we make, by the love we hold onto and the promises we keep.

massacre of the innocent!!

     To the millions of sacrificed souls that have been sent to Heaven due to the carnivorous appetite of man. Their beaks broken their legs torn off before the slaughter. Homogenized in factories to never reproduce offspring, they are flightless. Can you hear the requiem of massacre. My earthly doomed turkey, goat and chicken friends one day we will be together, we will fly across the sky/play in the garden.

     So much so for our greedy palate. For you(turkey, chicken goat n' them all) I will eat corn.Gobble. Gobble.

this is one of my first blogs// i intend to continue// lets see:)
