I try to be happy, and when I'm happy, I always figure out that I'm settling for less. Is settling for less the price of happiness? If you long to reach the top of the ladder, you need to push yourself, which means you aren't happy at your current state. And pushing yourself forward takes…
When I was in School, we had to read a popular story of the Tortoise and the Hare. The story concerns a Hare who ridicules a slow-moving Tortoise and is challenged by the tortoise to a race. The hare soon leaves the tortoise behind and, confident of winning, takes a nap midway through the course.…
When we first start to write blog post, we often write it for others. We desperately want others to read it and give us immediate feedback. So we twist and turn our natural voice and flow to make people like it. With time, everyone falls on this habit of writing something which is off no…
I am very tired right now. I barely woke up to eat my lunch. After that, I'm here writing this, even if I don't want to. I walked for 4 hours straight inside the temple in the outskirts of Kathmandu. Some years ago, I could walk for 4 hours without any problem. But since I've stopped…

Today is February 1, 2014. January wasn't as fruitful as I intended it to be. I got distracted, didn't complete my work, and failed to accomplish my goals.
