Dreadful or wonderful whatever you name it:-
As soon as I saw a symbol of ‘eye' I turned right and looked to the row of chairs which looked as if it leads to the cabin /room of the doctor but yesterday it was proved that it is nothing more then an illusion. Yea! Yesterday I waited for two hours at the queue to meet the doctor but I couldn't so today determine to see a doctor I arrived very early there. I sat down on the front chair but there was nothing except the door lock and me. Oh! How I can forget just few inches front to me there was constant water droplets falling from the ceiling tip! Tap! Tip! tap!. I could guess that just above me there was a bathroom I thought I was lucky for a reason that ceiling was not leaking right above my head. But still undisturbed by the leaking ceiling I waited for the doctor. I had some problem in my left eye and this problem was troubling me for three weeks. Desperate to see a doctor I waited like a stone. Slowly I started to get company, few women came and they sat beside my chair but no one came to unlock the door. I looked at my watch and discovered the fact that it's been 3 hours that I have waited for the doctor but still haven't got any sign of him. Now there were a considerable number of people behind me waiting for the doctor. So I had a grin on my face as I was first on the line another hour passed but still no clue about the doctor. I made my mind to ask a staff about the arrival of doctor. I had a very bad impression about the staff of the hospital as a child accompanied by my mother I came to the hospital every request of my mother to the staff used to transform into silence with the harsh reply of the staff. Finally I stood up from my chair and dragged my body towards the one elderly looking staff of eye department I asked here in my native language ‘when our respected doctor will be arriving at the hospital' and she answered ‘Oh my god you don't know that eye doctors are on strike today' I was shocked not because doctors were on strike I was surprised due to her soft and polite reply. Nowadays in Kathmandu strike has became the part of the human life I didn't asked why? As sometime the death of your dog can be the enough reason for the strike in the Nepal so I took no trouble of using the useless word "why?" She further suggested me to go on the ticket counter and ask the money back that you have paid to see the doctor. At ticket counter of the hospital no one said that doctor were on the strike it was very funny the hospital administrative staff were very unaware of the strike of the hospital. Now I wanted my money back but when I reached counter I saw a long line of people which off course would take me another one hour in reaching to the counter so I thought my money will be like donation to plaster the leaking ceiling.
I walked out of the hospital gate with a grin on my face because I was among the fortunate ones who have access to the hospital irrespective whether I meet a doctor or not. There are so many people in my country who have no idea what the hospital means.
This experience makes me realize that there are so many reasons within us which can make us happy and similarly there are so many reasons to be sad within us it depends what we choose to be. We are sad because we choose to be sad and we are happy because we have the ability to see the silver lining even in the dark clouds.

Learning To Live is Learning To Let Go:-
When we seat quietly and think that every one who we knew will leave us some or the other day, all those blood ties, all those friends, all those love ones will leave sooner or later and even our own body will not be forever than we realize that there is very few thing that we really need to be happy.
My personal experience is that, realizing the truth is more important than just knowing the truth. Realizing and knowing are two different aspects. To let go the thing is not easy task, it is a process and we develop this process through out our life.

What would you miss most about your home?
I recently left my old house and shifted to new one. So now I miss everything of that house, specially the childhood days spent on that house and the tree which me and my brother planted when we were around the age of ten. Now that tree has grown very tall.It gives a fruit too, but I do not know what we exactly call that fruit in English. I am praying and hoping that nobody will cut that tree.
thank you !

Religion ?
Do you believe in god? I do. But I don't believe in religion. I think that faith inside human beings creates god rather than religion or its holy book. I believe in god but I am not interested in giving name to Him. My faith is associated with the god not with its name. All people, whom we believe as god, have taught us the lesson of love and brotherhood. But instead of following their teaching, why do we always keep on arguing, "my religion is superior to yours?'. I never understood why people are discriminating each other in the name of religion. After all, we all are human beings and the same blood from everyone's vain. Why can't our religion be the religion of humanity? The religion may unite few groups of people but most of the time it separate us from many. Religion may have an important role in the belief of human beings and in human culture. We have to respect the religion but how much reasonable is it to take or give one's life in the name of religion and to discriminate one human from another? All the gods Jesus, Krishna, Allah or Buddha are one and they taught us the same lesson of love, compassion and brotherhood. Instead of proving who is wrong or right let's start follow what they have taught. From this very moment let's start creating heaven in this earth rather than wasting our time in the hope to see the heaven after our death. Let's fill our earth with love and compassion.
Let's love each other and grow together......
