Pedestrians with Motivation or Deterrent
I was in Kathmandu last year. When I landed in the only international airport we have in the evening, I was infuriated to have not found my luggage. This was nothing new to me. It had happened in the past too. Upon contacting the airline’s international office in Doha, I was told that the luggage was stuck at Hamad airport. I had no choice but … Continue reading Pedestrians with Motivation or Deterrent
If We Were Having Coffee
The first thing we do every morning is grinding some fresh beans from the airtight jar. We often find ourselves worrying if we are going to wake up kids from their sweet morning sleep while grinding the beans. Sometimes, I feel like pre-ground coffee comes in handy on times as this morning. Kids were sound asleep. I feel very bad and am filled with guilt of waking … Continue reading If We Were Having Coffee

Highlights: Soccer U-8 Boys | Week 2
I do not regret paying to see my children enjoying one of their favorite games. I introduced all three of my kids to soccer (football) in their very early age. When my two boys were about a year and a half, they were kicking size 3 ball in the living room. Sometimes, they got me scared when the ball flew and hit the television … Continue reading Highlights: Soccer U-8 Boys | Week 2
Do You Grow Your Own Food?
Many of you wouldn’t know what our last name, Maharjan, means. Maharjans fall under the Newa: caste system which defines a group of people who were/are farmers. Of course, Maharjans are not just limited to farming anymore. So, sometimes I wonder if our inclination to growing some of our food has to do with our roots. I know, farming is not something many people aspire to … Continue reading Do You Grow Your Own Food?
Humanity Shackled
What’s wrong with these people in this picture? This might be the first thing you might ask yourselves. They are possibly watching a dying man on the highway. I’m not sure if watching is the right word choice here. It seemed like they were offering him company or comfort in his last breath. They could have done much more than being mere bystanders. No cars … Continue reading Humanity Shackled

Life. Death. Afterlife
This past weekend, my middle child Mr. S. came to sat on my lap while I was reading. He is close to turning six, yet he likes to sit on our lap sometimes. He is one of the most sensitive kids and also easy to make him content. I did not know he would come up with such a huge existential question. He had this … Continue reading Life. Death. Afterlife
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
