I Owe You Big Time Lord For These 3 Months!!!!

I’ve been doing things that really used to amaze me these days… I am so happy and excited… suddenly feeling that I am finally here where I want and it all happened so fast and so unexpected… I will never forget these 3 months in my life….

Newly married… in a cold country… taking professional initiatives… making some decent money… traveling places… meeting very new people… living in a different culture… everything is so nice…

My sincere prayer to god is all should be fine in the days to come…. Love you God… Love you so so much!!!

Something to boast about:

1) I took a spin in a YAMAHA R1 and SUZUKI GD
2) I drive a lot of TOYOTA’s here!!!
3) I have a nice new 1GB RAM TOSHIBA crystal wide screen LAPTOP with wireless… ( I am actually sitting in a restaurant and typing this blog over a nice cup of Ginger Ale)

Hope this happiness continues…

Cycle, Bicycle....

One thing I enjoy the most in athmandu is the Bicycles.... My CEO, a Canadian...and the board of directors.... filthy rich guys all ride bicycles to work.

I am also learing to enjoy bicycling.... I borrowed my directors bicycle today and went for a spin.... it was really nice.... was so smooth too....

Never knew bicycles cost 40000 bucks.... good I didnt bash it anywhere!!!!

I Hate Nobody...

I Turned 26 last week, April 18 2006!

Rollacoster 26 years I would say. I happenned to take a long walk in Kathmandu, and was thinking about the number of people I know in this 26 years, a lots of them.

Not boasting, however, I also wanted to know how many people I hate – To my astonishment None! I don’t hate anybody, I don’t.

I might be angry with somebody for somethings they did to me, but I’ve never carried that hate… its just fades and dies.

I have loved a lot of people in my life. They have all been different in their own way. That’s why I loved them.

The greatest mystery of all mysteries is what goes on in the mind of others. You can’t know it. They have all those rough edges (soft ones too) that you can’t see but you can feel them when you get too close.

By then it’s too late, you’ve already felt the pain. The lady at the cash register is hateful to you. You don’t know why. Maybe someone close to her just died.

If we could see the mind of others, or atleast feel the reason for their actions then there is no need to hate anybody in the world – I feel

It just takes a minute to understand feelings and help ourselves to forget the pain and forgive people!!!

I am happy that I love everybody I know!

Recharging Faith!!!

My own journey has taken me around places several times,but the journey towards self discovery I feel is the greatest adventures of life!

There had never been a time in my life when I so much needed a source of strength beyond myself.

I would be overwhelmed otherwise.

There are periods in life when I realize, my life is not totally in my control.

And I've always looked to God.God is what I believe in.

I don't need to be a religious traditionalist to understand the meaning of a Higher Power.

It is a force larger than ourselves,greater than our ego.

It's provides a sense that no matter what happens,we'll be OK, that we'll ultimately survive any crisis,any horror, any difficult time in our lives.

If there's something over which we have control and to which we have committed, we must to it to the best of our abilitiesor not at all.

However,

When something unexpected happens over which we have no control, we must have the faith to trust that something greater than ourselveswill guide us.

All that mattered is that we have to take responsibilities to ourselves. Well, we all see the world differently and I am excited for that.

Otherwise, what a boring world this would be!

May the passion of God
and all the Angels,
heal my sins,
help me grow in kindness,
and reward me with eternal life and strength...

Amen

The Nepali Experience 3 – Baby’s Day Inside!

Well its been almost 50+ hours I saw sunlight or the roads… its curfew time here in Kathmandu. So can’t go out or do anything. If we go out people would shoot us, I meant the army!!!

It started on Thursday, it was a night curfew that technically starts at 11pm and runs till 6 am. It was fun, because people here hang out till 10 pm, like all the dance bars, disco’s all of them are open till 11 and a few of them are open all night. People here are so used to curfews and are so fearless they actually hang out till 10:45. The roads are filled with people and suddenly everybody disappear at 11.

First day of the strike I was scared and didn’t go out anyplace, in the afternoon I was forced to go out for a walk by a few friends here, we walked about 6kms as there is no mode of communication, we reached a common friends place, Sudharshan Karki – His name, he is a documentary film maker, an angry old man I would say.

Had some good beer and he organized for a private screening of his documentary… Man it a quite an experience, open air theater, just 6 of us and watching movie… documentaries, people who know me well would know how much I would have liked it!!!

It was till about 8 and these guys wanted to go out for diner, so we went out to a place called manasulu and had dinner till about 10 and we walked back to my hotel… Remember the curfew starts at 11pm…finally managed to reach hotel by 1055…

That was the last day I was out… since then it has been curfew during the days too… eating and watching movies in hotel room… No Phone lines… No Internet… Curfews here mean, totally cut off from the world!!!

Hopefully the curfew is over from tomorrow… so I could get back to work!!!
