Romancing Words :)

While my heart was reluctant about me writing, this time my brain won and I’m finally mustering up some courage to pull my hands out and write in this annoyingly cold weather, all cuddled up in my warm cozy blanket. I’m hoping you’re warm too. Today’s review is going to be about the latest book I’ve finished reading: ‘Monsoon’ by Subin Bhattarai. I have to admit it shamefully that this is the first ever novel that I’ve read which is written in Nepali. I’m so sorry, Nepali writers, I couldn’t be faithful!! I always felt that reading Nepali wouldn’t be as easy as reading an English novel but this time, I’m wrong and I enjoyed the book to the fullest. “ cflv/ b]v]s} ;kgf ;fsf/ x'G5, gb]v]sf] ;kgfsf] cfsf/ sxf“ x'G5< ” The protagonist of the novel is Mr. Subhan Upadhyay. The name really matched the writer (Subhan-Subin) so I had to turn the cover page to check if they were the same person. But they aren’t. You know, Subhan is just like one of the single guys we get t...

George Carlin said: “The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. Life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death! What’s that, a bonus?” That being said, when you read “Me Before You” by Jojo Moyes, you won’t agree less to the quote. Me Before You is the story of Louisa Clark and Will Traynor, two different persons with completely different personalities. While they know quite a lot of things about their lives, neither of them knows that they’re going to change the other for all time. Lou Clark is forced to take the job of looking after a quadriplegic, Will Traynor, for six months when she loses her job at The Buttered Bun. As if being shoved up against Will’s tantrums and keeping up with his basic routines and being catapulted into a whole new life wasn’t already difficult enough for Lou, a bomb drops on her when she overhears Will’s mother and sister talking about Will’s wish for euthanasia and realizes that it was W...

Photo courtesy: Google Images It’s been a really long time since I’ve travelled somewhere. Now when I’m finally thinking of adding a travel blogging section to my blog, I want to start by writing about Ilam, the first ever place I travelled far from my home. I visited Ilam in September, 2014. So I’ll try my best to recall everything about my trip. Tea Garden, Ilam Bazar Ilam is located in the eastern part of Nepal. Since I’ve been pursuing my bachelor’s degree in the eastern city, Dharan itself, one of my goals after I came here was to check my lists of visiting all the beautiful places in the eastern part of Nepal while I was still here. But unfortunately, it is almost time for me to bid adieu to this place and I have to confess shamelessly that the only place of eastern Nepal that I’ve visited is the one I’m going to write now. Like they say, “Unplanned plans are the best plans”. This journey to Ilam became the same for us. One day we were talking about going and t...
