Coffee

Some time, I start my day by taking home made coffee made by myself and it looks like this….I am really not good at making coffee. But I am still happy what I made and love it. May be I like it because I made it.

Falling down….

It rains a lot in KL, and green is everywhere; I do not know how they maintain greenery in the middle of concrete jungle. But they did awesome job to protect the greenery.

This photograph was taken from KL Monorail window and on backdrop you can see the greenery.

I wanna fly…

I wanna fly…
Fly so high…
So, that I can walk in cloud and fly with birds…

I wanna fly…
Fly so high…
So, that I can see the mountain tip with my eyes…

I wanna fly…
Fly so high…
So, that I can fulfil her prayers and see her love to me in her eyes.

Dew…

I can not get enough of dew photographs so here is one more. Just a simple grass leaf with lots of dew. And, I think dew is most photographs water form in the world or may be I am wrong.

Republic Nepal - गणतन्त्र नेपाल -

As Nepal is now a republic state, what do you think? Nepal will be as developed as Switzerland as told by the Maoist in 10, 20, 40 years or we will fail?

Nepal is the oldest country in South Asia and also older than USA, but we still live in 13th century. So do you think Nepal will change?

I will be back to this post after 10 years and let you know about the progress, if this post [and me] will survive to 10 years than.

Republic Nepal as published in today’s Kantipur.

Happy Mother Day.

We celebrate mother day on 5th of May in Nepal and many celebrate today. I think everyday is a mother day, so have a great mother day.

I just came back from a small road trip, it was fun but I really missed my mom’s hand cooked food.

But, traveling is good to try new foods and also for to meet interesting peoples. I was at Bhairahawa at Pawan Misthan Bhandar and try this sweets and I bet you that if you love sweet than you will enjoy it all in a one go.

Last Kiss....

Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
We were out on a date in my daddy's car,
We hadn't driven very far.
There in the road straight ahead,
A car was stalled, the engine was dead.
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right,
I'll never forget the sound that night.
The screaming tires, the busting glass,
The painful scream that I heard last.
Chorus
When I woke up, the rain was pouring down,
There were people standing all around.
Something warm flowing through my eyes,
But somehow I found my baby that night.
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said;
"Hold me darling just a little while."
I held her close I kissed her - our last kiss,
I found the love that I knew I had missed.
Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight,
I lost my love, my life that night.
Chorus
