Our take on Earthquake!


We have seen it all; from a ten years long civil war, 2001 royal massacre, Abolition of monarchy for a free democratic country and to having no constitution till date and now to the massive Earthquake of 25th April.


Throughout this time, we have been guided by persistent optimism in future. The common goal and the common history we share as Nepalese have helped us unite, for getting over these national tragedies.


Reflecting back on the past one month, after the great earthquakes struck in Nepal, here we saw different people showing their humanitarian and patriotic responsibility, came forward to help. The neighbouring countries also joined hands to help in our difficult time. Despite all the glitches made towards the unplanned government procedures, its support cannot be curtained.


In this time different people came together to share their story of loss, sorrow, survival or heroism. Stories came from people of different background; but all uniting with a common ground; expectation of a better future.


In this moment I didn't had to travel far to find such a story, my walk to a nearby grocery shop made me come across a small girl who with her smile had hidden the pain and trauma she is suffering, due to the recent Earthquake.


My mother was trying to select the best Tomatoes from the whole pile; here the small girl also kept her hands to help. While this exchange the small girl had found many rotten tomatoes which she decided to throw, but then, her mother asked her to keep it safe aside for the night; to which the girl responded giving a satisfied gesture of having a tomato for today’s night. The child when asked of the class she studies, in her reply distracting from the question, she said that her school is nearby and will be opening soon. The girl’s satisfactory attitude and optimism in future made her smile throughout.


The family has been living in Tent since the massive earthquake occurred and has no plans to return home. As said by her mother, “there in ground we have friends who help us in our problem and their pondered love makes our sorrow null making us feel strong”. Defining the power of unity and love the story got an untold value.


This proves that, as a nation, we may be poor economically and politically, but the tradition of standing for each other with positive attitude, is the solution we take, for a better future.

Just a coffee!

He came to ask me out, to have a coffee in near by shop. Just a minute walk away it is, said he with a small voice. Confused I was, I tried not to look at his eyes. Making myself look stupid, I wanted to run from his sight. Moving my bag hanging from one side to both my shoulders, I said i have a tuition to attend. Assuring to meet next time, I waved good bye. During the slow walk for home, was a race running within my mind. The silent road had an eco of what was going inside my mind. It was just a coffee.. It was just a coffee.. Its just a coffee! Its just a coffee!

For starting of a new journey.

Hey Aabha, Lots have been told during these years. We know the importance we had in each other's life. So, this is not to praise you or to make you feel happy of this precious day but it is to try to make this day a starting of a new journey for you. I will tell you a story today. It started by making a Cup of Coffee. A girl decided to start her journey sharp at 9:00 pm. She placed a book with blank pages on her desk and a new pen besides it. Then she sat on the hard chair in the corner of the room with a confidence to draft her thoughts in paper under the night lamp. She stopped! She reached a white space. Her legs started shaking. Hands started shivering. Fingers unconsciously started rubbing her lips. But, then a bell of reminder to achieve her goal rang and brought her back to the real state. She then took the pen in her hand, stream of thoughts started flowing in her mind. In this abundance of emotions her search for right words began. She lost ...

Stream Of Thoughts (Part 1)

In the warm day of fading white snow, Cool breeze tickles like a feather through my face. Flowers with arm stretched to bloom, Aromatic breeze teases like a sent through my nares. A soft bed of grass cuddles to let the day pass, Gazing to the clear sky my breadth sounds relaxed. With fading light the shadows now seems to grow, Harking through every foot step my life feels occupied. The night of twinkiling stars afire the cosmic presense, Aching neck now nods right and left to get asleep. The cool breeze brings with it a flood of thoughts, Beating the silence now countless question ecos deep. Long forgotten the town i come from, The wait for love still remebers kindness. With arms gaping to heal the raw soal, The naked eyes still dreams of the greatest happiness... To be Continued....
