Insight through Words

 Who I was traveling with, I was unsure of, but what I was sure of was that at any cost I was trekking all the way to Tilicho base camp and if possible cross the Thorongla Pass. My best friend kept pushing away the date and backed out at the end so I ended up with two travel partners from my office.  Night 1: Sep 28, 2018: Kathmandu -Dumre The 3 of us set out on the night of Sep 28th. We took a 7pm night bus from Gongabu Buspark that dropped us at Dumre 5 in the morning. It was very dark and I had an urgency to pee so badly. We looked around and found no washroom so I was ready to pee my way in the open but Raj found out a public toilet 200m ahead from where we were. After freshening up we also bought the ticket of the early morning bus that would drop us to Besisahar.  Day 1: Sep 29, 2018: Dumre-Besisahar-Manang There were no proper shops open so we skipped our breakfast and geared ourselves for the bus ride that was as slow as me when running a 500m race.

Over the years, I have become a very complicated person. As I am getting wise and complex, I am having difficulty jelling with another person. Making new friends or even keeping with existing ones have at times become very hard as I start realizing how different our thought processes and our perspective on life have become over the age. My friends from PG to me do not appeal with their take on animal equality and their complete ignorance on that matter overall. However, they are still equally dear to me as they were.

For a long time I have worried if I am becoming that lady who is rude or too hard to get along with. For a long time I guess I was fighting between "Be kind no matter what" vs "Dont put up with anyone's shit". It is very hard for me to share my feelings or open up about my actual emotions. Yes my expressions do give away my mood, but what rea

I met Rumi when I was working at Luniva Tech Pvt. Ltd. and we just clicked and she became my little sister from thereon. However, she had been pursuing her masters in Japan and after 3 years was visiting me back here in Nepal. We had been planning to take a trip for a long time since she bought her tickets back home but no destination was finalized because of the time limit. Only 3 days before the trip, we finally decided it will be Rara: all-girls trip -Me and Rumi. But I also had another sister at my current workplace equally adorable and when she asked her parents, she also got the green sign and on the whim, just like that, we bought the tickets to Nepalgunj for October 18, 2019. We had inquired about the connecting flight to Talcha airport with one of the travel agents of Nepalgunj who had assured we will get the tickets easily and so we flew off Friday morning, with excitement and nervousness all mixed up. Friday, Oct 18, 2019: We reached Nepalgunj at around 10 am in the morni
