Chori Malai Bhagi Bhagi Nasatau

He said he has fallen quite a few times there. It was steep, and if you don't have a good hold of yourself, you are gone for good. It's beautiful though. The hills surround everything as if they are hugging and getting hold of the people there. The river sounds like a harmonica all over. No kind of alarm would ever make it to the level of warmth, welcome, and morning that village has. It will always be hard to see your father grow old. What feels harsh is that there will always be a version of him that I will never see. The blood, the adrenaline I have in my 20s, that old man probably had the same. He probably dreamt big too, looking at those hills with all the possibilities his future held. I sometimes wonder if this is the future he dreamt of having, and if not, how hard it must be to live with it. But who am I to make a verdict? He says he's living the dream, and I couldn't agree more. From where he belonged, the land he grew up on, to the land where I am today, is ...

City Chaos and Cat Charisma: My Brooklyn Adventure

Hey readers, missed me? I bet you did, because I sure missed you. I’ve been out and about lately, so couldn’t write much (not that anyone’s waiting on the edge of their seat, right?). Anyway, it’s August 12th today, but I’m about to spill the tea on August 10th , what a day that was! My sisters and I decided to hit up the Brooklyn Bridge, but let’s rewind a bit.


First, we went to meet this cat named Eve. Oh my gosh, she’s such a diva! Seriously, “sassy” is the perfect word for her. She’s the boss, no doubt about it. If she’s not happy, she’ll throw a fit, but if she senses you’re down, she’ll be right there to comfort you. Her emotional intelligence is better than at least half the guys out there. And you know what? She’s a total character, get this, she’s an iPad baby! Play a video on her iPad, and she’s entertained for the day. I was so shocked. I mean, how does a cat even get it? 


Now, I’m not really a cat person, and honestly, I don’t know much about them. But one thing I’m sure of is that you don’t keep a cat, they keep you. You know what I mean? I once heard someone say that if you take care of a dog, they think, “Wow, humans must be gods.” But cats? They’re like, “Maybe I’m the god here.” I don’t remember where I heard that, but I love it, and it feels so true.


So back to our day,we made it to the Brooklyn Bridge area. It was chaotic but had this kind of peaceful vibe too. We took some photos, wandered around the park, and of course, we had to get ice cream. There were so many flavors, I couldn’t decide! Which is weird because usually, I’m super decisive. Making decisions is my thing. But ever since I got here, it’s been so hard and confusing, like there’s too much to take in. The other day, I was at the store with Thulmamu and wanted any juice. I grabbed a can, and it turned out to be sparkling water. Back in Nepal, was I even making decisions, or were there just no options?


And it’s not just about food or drinks, it’s everything. Like, most people there are either engineers or doctors. Is it because that’s what they truly want, or because there aren’t many other options to explore? It’s kind of concerning, or maybe I’m just overthinking it. Who knows?


Anyway, the day was amazing. After taking some photos and enjoying our ice cream, we went to the Time Out Market. Oh my goodness, the crowd was insane! I’ve never seen such a packed food court (okay, that might be a lie because the lines at Nepali weddings are wild, but you get what I mean). We had pizza, baby corn, and some dumplings. The taste was different, obviously, but it was good. Still, I kind of miss the restaurants in Nepal, the flavors I’m used to. I’m enjoying the new tastes, but it’s a bit weird, you know?


After lunch, we went back to see the cat. She was still on her iPad, so cute! And then, I got my tarot cards read. I’ve always been curious about how tarot works, but it’s like when you believe in the energy of the universe, the cards align accordingly, it’s all about energy. I asked about my career and love life, because who doesn’t want to know about that? But the readings? They’re top secret, sorry!


So that’s it for today. My blogs haven’t been super fresh lately(my bad) but from now on, they’re gonna be lit. See ya!
