Streaming emotions through writing.

Me, a clumsy person, walking home from the office—of course, I’ve bumped into countless things along the way. Clumsiness constantly whispers, "Oh darling, you’re still learning to walk." But since I’m trying to be Miss Optimistic, I take it all in stride.   On my way home, my foot found its way into every possible hole—potholes, road holes—yeah, you all know the roads of Nepal. At first, I was just ignoring it, laughing off my missteps. But then I realized something: no matter how many times you trip, no matter where you fall, no matter what circumstances life throws at you—at the end of the day, it’s you who gets up and keeps walking.   Mmm… maybe I explained the point right?  Keep going.

  Out of nowhere, he saw a chocolate wrapper and suddenly started crying. He grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the house, demanding we go buy chocolate. When I said no, he got even more upset, angry, sad, and completely restless. But after a lot of insisting, I finally gave in and took him to the shop, expecting him to pick out a chocolate he had been craving so badly. But to my surprise, he didn’t even look at the chocolates. Instead, he pointed at a small packet of juice, barely 10 rupees, and said, "I want this." That was it. And the moment he got it, his face lit up with the purest joy, as if he had just won the world. It was such a simple thing, yet it made him so happy. Watching him, I couldn’t help but think back to my own childhood how even a tiny 1-rupee chocolate used to bring me that same kind of happiness. And in that moment, it hit me. Somewhere in the process of growing up, we stopped celebrating the little things. We got so caught up in chasing bigger goa...

 Surround yourself with good people—they’ll help you out and bring positivity into your life. I’ve heard this so many times, but is it really true? Can people actually turn my bad mood into a good one? Well, in my case, I guess it was proven true.   I left home feeling frustrated, dragging myself to college, only to spend a long day at the office. Ugh, what a boring day. As always, I stood at the bus stop, exhausted, waiting for my ride. That’s when I noticed a tiny old Aama, probably in her 70s or 80s, standing nearby. I was lost in my thoughts, too drained to care.   Then, out of nowhere, she looked at me, smiled, and asked, "Nani, where are you going?" And just like that, something inside me lit up. It was such a simple question, but it made me feel warm. I told her where I was headed and asked about her plans. With excitement in her voice, she replied, "I’m going to Pashupati! My grandson’s Bratabandha is today, and my daughter is coming to pick me up on the...

                    About a month later, I finally got to see him. He was more excited than I was and was often angry at me for not being as excited as he was. Tomorrow is the day and tomorrow has come. It was a rainy and cold day, so I told my mom that I will go somewhere with my friends. She told me that it was raining and you are not feeling well, so she didn't want me to go. I now think that at least I could have listened to her. So now I could no longer bear all these horrors. But no, I couldn't let him go, so I insisted on leaving. So I slipped my little feet into the slippers and, splashing water, left the house. Around the gate, I could still hear my mom saying, "It's  raining don't go ," but I got on to the bus and called him that I am coming. He said in a sweet voice, call me when you arrive here, I'll be waiting at the bus stop. He was waiting for me when I got there. Then he smiled and said follow me and go somewhere. He...

  "Oh, the familiar scent, that same heartwarming smile, and of course, the same face. It's almost as if my eyes and mind can't forget him. Everything felt unchanged as he walked towards me, bringing back a rush of memories from the past. After a long time, we were finally reconnecting, and I thanked God for this second chance. I longed to hear three special words from him, words I hadn't heard in years. However, life often doesn't go as planned. Instead of those cherished words, I received a heartfelt "Sorry," and beside him stood another girl, holding him just as I used to do. My heart shattered into pieces, realizing that the hands I hoped would comfort me now belonged to someone else. I was left speechless, but I gathered the courage to ask him who she was. His response hit me like a black cloud descending upon my world: "She is my girlfriend, my everything." That day changed my life and emotions completely. All the hope I had cherished turn...

                Sometimes out of nowhere some deep thoughts strike my mind. Was just doing my dishes, and suddenly heard Aama saying let's give this avocado plant to someone so that it could grow properly in an open space, it won't grow in this pot.        My response was 'NO' that's my plant, I've been taking care of that for 2 years, and I've grown that and I have a huge attachment with my plant. I can't let it go away from me.       But, after a few minutes, I realized what Aama said was also TRUE, it can't grow properly in that small pot. It has to grow its roots will expand, it's size will expand which cannot be handled by the small pot. For the betterment and growth of the plant, I have to let it go. That kinda hurts but it's for the betterment so I was okay with it.      Suddenly, I realized the same thing is applicable in our lives too. We can love a person more than anything else but somet...
