I have been a vegan for about 2 years now. And today I want to share with you all the places I go to eat and what I eat there. 1. Vegan House Cafe & Restaurant, Thadodhunga Marg, Jhamsikhel:  Originally known as Cya Vegan, the cafe was on the verge of closing when a passionate customer decided to take over and rebrand it as Vegan House Cafe & Restaurant. For over a year now, the new owners have been running the place with enthusiasm, introducing fantastic options to the menu. Some of my favorites include the Buckwheat Momo , Vegan Special Momo , Seitan Chhoila , and Soy Milk Tea , to name a few. The current owners are incredibly friendly, zealous, and always up for a conversation, making every visit a warm and engaging experience. 2. V&V Restaurant, Dovan Pool, Sankhamul:  V&V, which stands for "Veg and Vegan," offers a delightful menu featuring items like Seitan Chhoila , Seitan Sekuwa , Seitan Sukuti , Corn Momo , and much more. While the waiting ti...

A long-pending bucket list, I got to go see for myself the beautiful Kuri village on the weekend of my birthday which was totally coincidental. We had our Hiace van, but knowing beforehand it won't take us to Charikot, we decided to take a bus from Kathmandu itself. We found a reasonable package deal from Fireside Resort at Kuri with pick up, drop off, bed, breakfast, and dinner. Our bus was to pick us up at 7 and leave by 7:30 am in the morning but the bus driver demanded extra money at the last minute with the travel manager and hence we were at Sallaghari until 11 am. Fortunately, he (Santosh Ji) managed to get us another bus. We stopped by Sukute for lunch at 2 pm. Our driver was an old man and his driving pace was very safe meaning we would be very late when we reached our destination. But better safe than sorry. Due to the rain a day before, the roads in some places were very muddy and slippery and hence our bus stuck in 2 places. We lost about 1 hour in that chaos. By 6 w...

Sunshine, you were an imagination Of What I was seeking Of What you were not Of What I secretly desired Sunshine, you were an image Of a pretty face and ingenuity Of a face I did not tire seeing Of a brain that never failed to amaze Sunshine, you were a dream One I never could have One that never was mine One that never wanted to stay Sunshine, you were an escape My runaway fantasy My cherished aspiration My made up fancy Sunshine, you were a glass on edge Sunshine, you were an awakening A song unfinished for 5 years A memory with no regret A sweet converge; a master piece of my  poetry You were my sunshine.....

Hot and humid in summer, Nepalgunj is a gateway to many tourist destination. If you are awaiting a bus or a flight to one of those destination, you can utilize your wait time by doing few things I would like to recommend. 1. Visit Bardiya National Park  You will need to start  your day early in the mornin, to make this to and fro trip successful. If you have enough time, you can stay around the resorts around the national park. The park itself covers an area of 374 sq mi and is the largest national park in Nepal. You can also visit tharu village and enjoy tharu cultural programs. For the jungle activity try canoe ride, safari drive and keep your distance from elephant ride.  2. Visit Banke National Park Banke is 210 sq mi mostly faling on  the Churia range, neighboring Bardia Nationl Park. They recommend we bring our own vehicle (suitable for off road). Besides it, you can also try hiking, boating or cycling. 3. Visit QFX Bageshwori Situated in N...

As kids, most of us always wanted to grow up as quickly as possible. Like it was our gateway to freedom, to do things our way, to do things as we wanted and pleased, to not be said "NO". But, oh how wrong and childish our ideas of growing up were. Right? But today, here we are, sitting alone in our room, or a cafe, or a corner, or a bus, and contemplating about life and how messed up it is. Yes, life will get easy, yes everything that happens, happens for good, yes, yes, yes, there is so much to our life than meets the eyes. But, isn't life all about suffering and chasing after materialistic or stupid dreams. We run and run and chase and chase and compare and compete, we are a miserable piece of garbage. Unrecyclable. But, there is one more thing about our life. Do you know what it is? The way we are today, the life that we have today, is all led by the choices we have made throughout. If it's good, let's thank the people who have helped us. But if it's bad...

She was an 'A' of awkward and 'M' of miserable. She was a 'D' of dumb and 'I' of immature.  Too awkward to fit in, too miserable because she was dumb to see the true faces of people maybe because she was too immature. Mistakes and hence were made. 8 years ago, as I recall, I met her. Dressed in black pants and green top, with her hair tied as a bun, plump cheeks and petite. She was sitting alone in her classroom seat. Hiding from everyone. I met her there, but before I could talk to her, her friend came looking for her through the doors. As I noticed this guy, with shoulder-length dirty, uncombed hair, dark skin, and a round face with lips that smoked, he reached out to her and sat beside her in silence. From that day on, he became her best friend. But life is not a fairy tale........ Some best friends stay, some best friends fall apart, some best friends are just not really best friends until the end, and some, no matter how much we try to keep, go...
