Well, in the previous blog(read it once if you haven't), I talked about the desire paradox, and at the end, things revolved around fate and astrology. Without even realizing it, I became the victim of fatalism. The moment it hit me, it shook me from within. I, who believe that I am investing a significant amount of time being practical and reasonable, simply let everything be around fate? Really? But I am here to bust the myth I created in my head. This blog is my personal space. This is where I write down how I feel at the moment, and it's raw. Well paraphrased, if any grammatical errors, but you understand the gist. So the one who actually reads the blog is with me. With me in my consciousness, with me evolving, with me witnessing how I evolve, and to some extent creating karma for themselves with the energy. Now shifting things a little bit to come to a point, cause that's what a storyteller does. My dad used to say to read books. He got all sorts of books from finance t...

Walking, Shopping, and Life Jackets: Komal’s Guide to Surviving the Day

So, let me tell you about my day—spoiler alert, it was a wild ride!


I woke up all pumped to go for a walk around the neighborhood. Maybe even wander further if my heart felt adventurous. Took a shower, threw on some shorts, and my favorite "NEPAL" t-shirt because, hey, if you're gonna walk, you might as well do it in style! Found my headphones, grabbed some cash, and I was ready to take on the world—or at least, the local streets.


The weather? Absolute *chef's kiss*. It was like Kathmandu on a perfect day—sun shining, but with just enough wind to make you feel like you’re in a Bollywood movie. It was 2 p.m., but the sun felt like it was chilling at 8 a.m., just vibing. I mean, what kind of sorcery was that? Wait... does this mean I’m totally blind to obvious signs of danger? Probably. But hey, let’s not think too hard about that! Lmao.


So, I started walking…and kept walking until I stumbled upon a "99 Cents" store. Naturally, I dived in because why not? It felt like I’d stepped into a "Harek Maal 30 30" back in Nepal.


.      .        

 I wasn’t just browsing—I was studying everything in that store, dead serious. Then I spotted some caps, and since I’m heading to Texas in two days (where the temperature is basically "Are you kidding me?" levels of hot), I figured I could use one. I found this cute pink cap, which is perfect because I’ve been on a pink kick lately—bedsheets, everything. I was about to grab it, but then, plot twist, I ditched it for a maroon one. Classic me.

The cap was $5, which I guess is the price of my self-esteem at this point, so I bought it and kept walking. Then, out of nowhere, I see this D2 store with a sign that screams, "Cheapest of all times!" Well, say no more—I was in there faster than you can say "discount."


The place was packed with clothes, and I was on a mission to find some shorts and a tank top. I went full-on shopping ninja, diving into racks and pulling out deals like my life depended on it. I finally scored what I needed and then decided it was time for a little treat.

Remember that bakery I went to when I was headed toward Times Square? The one with the "leek" thing I had last time? Yeah, I had to have it again. But, plot twist—my social anxiety decided to crash the party. The bakery was packed, so I stood outside like a creeper for a solid five minutes, trying to convince myself that food was worth the human interaction. Finally, I sucked it up, went in, ordered my leek, and sat down to eat while watching "TMKOC." It was pure bliss—like being wrapped in a cozy blanket of nostalgia.


But then, disaster struck. I finished eating and realized... I had no clue what to do with the plate. Do I just leave it? Do I clean it? Do I... take it home? I sat there, plate in hand, for what felt like an eternity, looking like a lost puppy. Right then, A girl stood up and put her plate on the counter. Aha! I copied her move and made my escape.


And that was my day in a nutshell. Oh, and by the way, my NYC adventure is almost over (not that I’m never coming back, but you know). Texas is up next, probably ready to greet me with an oven blast of heat. Heat of excitement, I hope...or maybe just the heat of the sun trying to roast me alive. Either way… I WILL DIE.

Alright, folks, apart from my epic day, let’s dive into some motivation, Komal-style. Here it is:

"Hey, fellas!"

If you're into BBS (Beast Boy Shub) videos, you probably read that in *just* the right tone. Why am I talking about BBS? Buckle up, because we’re diving in!


BBS, aka the backbone of the Indian gaming community, recently dropped a video that had me all up in my feelings. Picture this: he's reacting to a video from 7 years ago, back when he had a whopping 300 subscribers. Oh, and did I mention he quit engineering? Yeah, that’s right. Dude ditched B.Tech to chase YouTube dreams with 300 subs—wild, right? I mean, kinda stupid, but look at him now in 2024, rocking it as a successful content creator.


So, why the emotions, you ask? I’ve been following his journey for a long time. He even took a 9-month break from social media, and when he came back, it was like he'd gone through a *metamorphosis* (and no, I don’t mean he got pregnant or something). It was like a totally grown-up version of Shub had emerged, with a sense of humor and wisdom that hit different. And honestly, I relate. Aaiyaaa! 😂


But seriously, the guy quit engineering with 300 subscribers and went full throttle into YouTube—totally wild and maybe a bit reckless. It’s like jumping into a pool when you know you can’t swim—either you make it or, well, you drown. No middle ground. But hey, the heart wants what it wants, right? Just... maybe keep a life jacket handy in case things don't pan out, and when I say "life jacket," I mean, if you don't make it on YouTube, you'd better have a life jacket—something to keep you afloat when things don’t go as planned. Because, you know, it’s great to follow your heart, but maybe also have a backup plan, just in case!
