Let’s Have Coffee
My wife hooked me up with baking. She likes to put healthy food on the table. On the other hand, I tend to go with savory and steaming from grill or searing and sizzling from pans which are mostly little juicy and fatty. The previous morning, I thought of baking some goodies for breakfast. And this is what I came up with — bread rolls … Continue reading Let’s Have Coffee
Better than Caffeine
I don’t remember where I read it, but the blog post talked about eating an apple in the morning is as effective as drinking coffee to stay alert in the job or school. First, I did not give it much thought. I stuck with a cup of coffee as my morning ritual. Oftentimes, we make my own espresso double shot or cappuccino. One morning I … Continue reading Better than Caffeine
Khokana in 1974 AD
Photo ©Mary Slusser This picture was taken in 1974 AD. Every time I went back home, I wonder how much this place has changed for good or bad all these years. One part of me wanted to see the change that corresponds to the present modern world. On the other hand, I would like it to remain untouched by the modern civilization. A lot has … Continue reading Khokana in 1974 AD

Bullying Causing Deterioration in Relationship Between Nepal and India
I’m incredibly astounded by reading a comment from an ignorant former Indian diplomat to Europe. I’m posting this here because the Times of India didn’t allow me to post it in their comment box, saying that my post contains inappropriate stuff while letting some Indian commentators foul-mouthed comments against Nepalese in the same thread. Let me get the facts straightened for those who strongly believe … Continue reading Bullying Causing Deterioration in Relationship Between Nepal and India
Acceptable to Pantheons of Gods but Not to Men
This man is considered as a lower caste. By which means, he is from the lower spectrum of the Hindu caste system that automatically disqualifies him from access certain privileges that the higher caste people enjoy. He is socially and culturally barred from eating and drinking with his peers from the higher caste. He can go to “bhatti” or local bars and pubs with his friends and drink … Continue reading Acceptable to Pantheons of Gods but Not to Men
Nepalese Around the Globe: Doha, Qatar – Part III
I wish I never had to continue writing on this topic after blogging two series (Part I/Part II) in the past. I stumbled upon the same people, same airport, and same airline but the only differences were that I stayed in the different hotel, had different food and a new experience that changed my perception toward Nepalese migrant workers. You find them where not but every … Continue reading Nepalese Around the Globe: Doha, Qatar – Part III
Short Documentary: Survivors’ Stories Amid Unimaginable Loss
Not that long ago on 25th April 2015, a massive 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit Nepal that claimed nearly 8000 lives and displaced estimated 200,000 people. After experiencing more than 150 aftershocks and several 5+ Richter scales tremors, people thought that dust had settled and started going back to their houses that were livable. People were trying to recover and come to the terms of unimaginable suffering … Continue reading Short Documentary: Survivors’ Stories Amid Unimaginable Loss
मनोवाद: सबै नौटंकी नै रहेछ यी धर्मभिरुहरू त् !
यहाँ त नागरिक नै छैन नि । सबै कार्यकर्ता नि । फरक त्यति हो कि, कोहि नजिकको बलिया त कोहि अलि परको बाङ्गा कार्यकर्ता । दू:ख पाउने भनेकै उही यता न उताका पार्टीका बिनाका सरल, परिश्रमी नेपाली नागरिकले त हो नि । “अहो, रात पनि निक्कै बितिसकेको पो रहेछ । होइन, के साह्रो मनमा कुरा खेलेको हो, आज त । सुत्ने सकिनँ ।” म फेरी … Continue reading मनोवाद: सबै नौटंकी नै रहेछ यी धर्मभिरुहरू त् !
