Never apologize for selfies. NEVER.

Because its been around since centuries. Great creative minds do it. Why shouldn't we?

Waves hello. Waves goodbye.

     

     My home screen reads "January 1." Exactly this time last year I was pulling out the confetti's from my hair from the previous night. I looked at my friend and asked what will become of me the next year. I was about to graduate and I had doubts about 2013. We are if anything, creatures of habit - drawn to the safety and comfort of the familiar. The idea of a new life scared me a little. But turned out new was good. In fact it was great. It is really important to to look back and see how much you've grown. If you look back, you see that, in many cases, things happened exactly the way they needed to be. So this new year my wish for you all is to embrace the change whole heatedly. And who knows you might even start liking the change. 2013 was a beautiful and very important chapter of my life. Now clearly a past. Enough reasons to celebrate aaie? =))

Ode to my city - Kathmandu.

Do your puja and then for the love of Kathmandu, step out. Take a walk or take a ride but step out. My goodness, you look beautiful my love, my Kathmandu. (In love again) <3 (My Facebook update).

     It was cold. It was beautiful. Every space filled with light. It was beautiful. Our decision to drive around the city was a good call. We, as in I and my friends, were listening to "Facing West" by The Staves in a loop. This moment was perfect. Beautiful and perfect. I fell in love with the city again (like I ever stopped loving it).

     Dipawali is my favorite festival, always been. Reminds me of everything good in life - light, music, food, family, fun and above all the palpable happiness all around me.

     As we were crossing the bridge in Kupondole, I decided to get off the car. They followed and then we stared at nothingness - silently. My goodness I missed this for six years. Six years of Dipawali lights. Six years of this magical moment. Six years of of Kathmandu at its best. At that moment, at that exact moment I could have been the happiest person alive. Dear blog buds, I wish you get the things you deserve and most importantly deserve the things you get. Stay insaney happy - now and always. =))
