Embraced with the farewell shine,

About to fade away;

Yet with a noticeable sign,

Reminiscing the fine day;

The gentle breeze called the silent tree

Alert were all; reluctant for the beauty to leave

How long had the wait been just for her beauty

Now she’s leaving; people afraid of the sooty

The time had to come for this depart

Leaving fearful, restless human heart

No chitter-chatter was sung by the bird

Only the howling wind to be heard

People hid themselves unable to see the awful scene

How she was being swallowed by the monster green

Nothing could be done, power not enough

To destroy the beast was impossible not just tough

The darkened night gestured a star to be born

All excited to see her again in the early morn!!!

Sometimes it makes me wonder

What must be behind the valley of myth?

Is it just the unholy thunder?

That we have to get along with

Or could the wonders of heaven

Brought down for the peace of mind

Ah! Must be the reason for it to be hidden

And left undiscovered for us to find

Lonely I am, deaf I stand in the crowd

lips zipped heart beating loud

Some changes didn’t suit me well

Tired of trying; difficult to dwell

Get horrified as the past haunts

Wait to be on my own; the time that counts

People surround; not a smile on my face

Upset I am it’s a different case

It ain’t no love or a broken heart

It simply isn’t me right now; but a different part

I dreamt; it came into reality

How I wish this’d last for eternity

I ain’t the one I was before

I left the wickedness ashore

Feared I’d drown yet I swam

Crossed the ocean and here I am

The journey so fine nothing to fuss

Or mutter a single word harming us

The demons of the ocean still haunt me today

Bravely fight with the bad and get away

Well once I’d been taught during one of our “Traffic weeks” that we should be walking on the right side of the road. But we were taught to walk from the left hand side of the road during our school. Since then I realized that our course books were wrong. Well, not exactly wrong, but wrong in the case of our traffic rules, because we follow the British textbooks and in United Kingdom they have right hand driving system which is totally opposite of ours. So this led to confusion in everyone. I try to explain it to all my friends and family but only few seem to understand what I mean. It could save one from an accident. As we, here in “Nepal” follow left hand driving so it’s obvious that we should be walking from the opposite side that is from our right hand side. Our lanes being small, people need to obey these rules in order to avoid accidents to some extent. At least you tend to see what is coming before you and you can prevent yourself being hit by those speedy rowdy vehicles.

That is what I learnt and I try letting everyone around me know that fact. Hope people take it into consideration. Because I now that I am right, this small fact should be considered. You can see those roughly driven public transports along the road they seem to be aiming to run into other vehicles and killing people, carrying more than enough passengers. I felt it should not be neglected cause I hardly see anyone obeying traffic rules (mostly the pedestrians), they don’t use zebra crossing, neither do they use the overhead bridges, nor walk from the right side of the road. Moreover, this could lead to accidents if there are no footpaths along the road (though exceptions are there like the”Ratnapark kanda”). What I meant is that to lessen accidents to some extent the pedestrians should obey the rules too but not only blame the vehicles riders/drivers.

As I look before me I find our cultures fading day by day. We ourselves don’t seem to be interested in neither our culture nor the festivals that we celebrate. Last week on Christmas I got some sms from my friends and family wishing me a merry Christmas. At first I was glad to receive those text messages but, later realized that they hadn’t wished me a happy Dashain or happy Dipawali, those festivals that are supposed to be the major festivals for us “Hindus”. Moreover, all of my friends are Hindus, and as far as I know no one celebrates Christmas. Honestly, I didn’t like their act so I didn’t reply to any of their messages. It’s not that I’m being racist and trying to tell my fellowmen to follow only Hinduism. I do respect all religions, all cultures and all festivals. But what I’m trying to say is that, if people do believe in all religions why don’t they wish a happy “Idd” or a happy “Dashain” or a happy “Dipawali” or a happy “budhha purnima” or in any other major festivals celebrated worldwide. Why only “CHIRSTMAS”?? Is it so important to all of us that we forget our own customs and traditions? Why all of us are being attracted to the western culture? It is good to respect other cultures, we should even get together and celebrate other festivals but it’s not that we have to give up our own customs.

If this trend doesn’t stop, then in no time we will be left nowhere with every one blindly following the westerners. I never meant that celebrating Christmas is bad. It’s good, it’s great. But the thing I tried to say in this is that; love your culture, follow your traditions, and respect other festivals that you don’t celebrate as well. Don’t just neglect Idd because you’re not an Islam, don’t neglect Christmas if you’re not a Christian, and other religious festivals as well. If you respect Brahma-Vishnu-Maheshwor, do respect Christ, Allah, Buddha and other gods as well. It’s not that one is supposed to follow only their culture; we have the right to celebrate each and every culture but following some culture blindly forgetting our own isn’t good.

As digital cameras have become ubiquitous, and cheap (or free) photo websites plentiful, more people than ever are using images in presentations. Images are not appropriate for every kind of talk, but even when images are appropriate (such as keynote/ballroom style presentations), people are still making the same common mistakes. So here are some things to keep in mind if you use images in your next talk.

You’re a beautiful melody

Playing in my heart set all over me

I’d hear you over and over again

On a sunny day or in the heavy rain

You’re a music that sooths my heart

With the perfect node and the perfect start

You’re the perfect song to be sung

Having the best rhyme to get along

I’d love to hear you all the time

Feeling glad that you’re mine

The rhythm, the bass and the drums that beat

You’re the song I’d always repeat

I’d try to play something new

The song still says I LOVE YOU!!!!

I need some time to come back to me

How happy and cheerful I used to be

Everything’s the same except me

I still am not being able to set my mind free

Things were fine around when I used to see

But now I look through them, understand differently

I know I should be strong

As I’d have to be with this lifelong

But I still don’t dare keep my head held high

Find my dream shattered of reaching higher than the sky

I used to say sky wasn’t my limit

But this unexpected turn came along and I can’t face it

Heard enough of advices, can hear no more

It’s not at all what I’m looking for

Treat me the way you all did before

That’d bring me back for sure

I wanted to deal it my way chilling out, the way too cool

But this time wasn’t that easy as life made me a fool

Now all I need is time

The moment they call that’s all mine!!!
