अहिलेको नेपालको शेकाकुल अवस्थामा म भलाकुसारी गर्न चाहन्न, क्रपया मलाई माफ गरिदिनुहोस्। नेपालमा भुकम्प गयो तर सायद सारा नेपालीले महसुस गरे, विदेशमा रहेकालेपनि। राम्ररी सुत्न सकेका छैनन् ति देशप्रेमीहरु। िवदेश बस्नु एउटा मजबुरी हो वा आफ्नै मनखुशी जवाफ दिन गाह्रो तर जाहाँ बसेपनि नेपालीलाई आफ्नै देश प्यारो। म बेलायतलाई ह्रदयबाट धन्यवाद दिन्छु किनकी बिगत १३ सालदेखि मलाई गाँय-बास र कपाएस दिएको छ; तर म जहाँ जन्मेकोछु त्यो म भुल्न सक्दिन। तिमी दुबै देशको सम्मानलाई आँच आएको म देख्न सक्दिन। अहिले नेपाल आमा मुश्किल र कठिनामा छिन्, मेलैकेहि गर्नसके मन हलुका हुन्छ। सकेसन्म गर्दैपनि छौं। सबै नेपालीहरुको साथ देखेर मन भावविभोर भई खुशिको आँसु बहे झैं लागिरहेकोछ ।
मेरो हार्दिक समबेदना छ ति सारा अमर आत्माहरूलाई जसले आफ्ना ज्यान गुमाउनु पर्यो, ति परिवारहरुमा मेरो आत्माबाट सान्तवना छ। मन रोई रहेछ। भन्छन्- आयो-टप्प टिप्यो-लग्यो-मिती पुग्यो-टारेर टरेदैन त्यो। जहाँपनि छन् सबै मिलेर उनिहरूको आत्मालाई चिर शान्तिको कामना गरौं । स्रष्टिको नियमालाई कसैलेपनि नकार्न सकिन्न।
हामी यसरी नै आपसी मेलमिलापमा बस्यौं भने हामी कसैले नजर उठाएर हेर्ने आँटपनि गर्दैनन्। एक सुन्दर नेपालको आशा, निर्माण र सफल्ता चांडै देख्न पाऊँ। ति दिवगंत आत्माहरूपनि नयाँ नेपाल देखेर हर्षमा बसुन् ।
.....................
नेपाल आमाको रोदन र क्रन्दन कसैले सुन्न सकेका थिएनौ,
कतै ति पौराणिक मठ मन्दिर र धरहरामा अल्झेर बसेका थिए कि थाहै पाएनौ,
उनका छातिले कति भार थाम्नु, हातहरुले कतिलाई सम्हाल्नु,
देशलाई खोक्रो बनाउनेहरू कतिलाई आश्रय दिएर राख्नु,
सर्वस्य छोडेर ८० बर्षपछि जुरमुराईन् उनि, भक्कानो छोडेर रोईन्,
हामीलाई बल्ल चेतना भयो, यति सारो उनिले सहेकि रहेछिन्,
नेपाल आमा तिमी दु:खी नहोऊ, आफ्नो आँसु पुछेर घाम झैं हाँसिदेऊ,
आउँछ नयाँ नेपालमा उज्वल ज्योतिको जनभावना, त्यसैले तिमी खुसी भईदेऊ,
अब तिम्रा सन्तानहरू एक भएकाछन्, आपसमा मिलेर एकअर्कालाई साथदिईरहेकाछन्,
जातभात, ढुलोसानो, तेरोमेरो, हिमालीतराई केहि नभनि हातमाहात मिलाएर काम गरिरहेकाछन्,
आमा तिमीले सिकाएको ज्ञान पायौं हामीले,
अबदेखि तिमीलाई माया गर्छौं र ख्याल राख्छौं सबैले,
आखिरमा तिमी रहे हामी रहन्छौं र हाम्रो अस्तित्व र पहिचान,
सदा जगेर्ना गर्नेछौं तिम्रो आस्था, अटल राख्छौं तिम्रो स्वाभिमान ।।
जय नेपाल।
Greetings to my readers. A sunny and warm welcome in this sunny July. Yesterday, 26th July 2014 was a well spent day for me. I had the feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction. As planned, I set out early morning from home and headed towards one of my most favourite park Richmond Park, Surrey. This time I was going there for a purpose; a good purpose for my country Nepal and its people. The Walkathone was organised by GMIN UK. This was the second programme so far I suppose. The registration fee was £10 and I had done it in advance. I thank Pratikshya for the FB invitation. There were 4 more charities involved: YouthNepal, Helpnepal.net, Live for Change(I raised a mere £25 for them, thank you for my contributors) and Nepalese Nursing Association UK.
We reached Richmond Park on time but it was difficult to find the right location where the bandstand was, unable to get the right direction, me and my sister roamed around the big park. We already walked 2 km by then. Late but not left out, there were still people who were lost and just got there. I was happy to see there are still people who were going to do the walk. A leader called Peter lead our group and we started our journey. There were children, women and men who were so determined to do the charity walk. I met members of helpnepal.net. It was pleasant talking to them and we shared a lot of information. After the completion of less than one third of the journey I came to find out that the whole walkathone was 5 miles not 5 kilometer. Adrenaline rushed through my veins. Its not the feeling that I cannot do it, its just that my mind was not ready for it. I decided to continue anyway because it was not a good idea to leave things incomplete. There were little children walking faster than me how can I just quit.
Love for Nepal
We all tried to stick together and walk in a group. The sun was really in favour of us, may be too much in favour. It was really hot. At times I felt like I was walking in the roads of Kathmandu. The leader, I thought who was responsible for all of us was not actually a leader. He told me he came there just as us, interested to do charity walk. He did had the right map and he did try to encourage us when we were tired and all. I could see everyone walking with smile on their face and determined to complete the charity walk, may be it is the love for our country and its people. We might not change the whole country but atleast we tried to do a little change. We did raise the money for chairty which helps Nepalese people.
We reached the point where we started our walk and concluded our journey. It was a great feeling of achievement and accomplishment to get the certificate and complimentary sandwich hehe.
I congratulate everyone who completed the walk and contributed something for our country. Hip, hip, hurray!!! We are all winners. I hope the money raised for this good cause goes to the right people and change their lives forever for good. If I can change atleast one life, I feel happy that I have done something. I am not a leader or socialist or billionaire; I am just a simple girl who is trying to bring a small change in someone's life through this charity walk.
Lastly, I would like to thank the organisers, the contributers who donated for me, the people who walked with me and my sister for supporting me. Ofcourse, there were many tweet people, instagram friends and my friends and colleagues at work wished me luck and gave me advices which helped me a lot. I need the same support and encouragement for another walk 10K in September. Till then cheerio.
I thank you for reading my blog once again and I hope I haven't disappointed you too much. Without wasting your time, I am posting this little piece of sort of poem yet an article.
Hope you feel the feelings connected to it. Cheerio limshaku
I bow down to love, I bow down to you!!! I bow down to love, I bow down for love, I bow down to be loved, No matter how hard I tried to put a poker face, Couldn't resist my eyes filling up with tears. No matter how hard I tried to forget your absence, Couldn't deny my heart pumping up with your name. No matter how hard I tried to decorate a smile and be brave, Couldn't help myself crying out loud in sleeps. No matter how had I tried to face the consequences, Couldn't stop my mind thinking of you not even for a second. No matter how hard I think of living a life so long, Couldn't imagine my journey without you. I bow down to love, I bow down to you, I do not bow to your ego, I do not bow to your anger, I do bow to your love, I do bow to your care, I bow down to love, I bow down for love, I bow down to be loved.
In life we still feel blessed to love and be loved. Lets hope All Is Well for all of us.
First of all, Happy New Year 2014 to everybody around the world and I wish you a good year ahead. I apologise for not blogging for quite sometime now. I really need inspirations and reasons to write sometimes. I have been busy for no reasons lately and too lazy to actually jot anything in my blog.
This is my first post of 2014 and in couple of months. I thought of this poem couple of months ago but just couldn't be bothered to post it. I hope you enjoy reading and have a nice day.
With all do respect limshaku
''Loving you is like a roller coaster ride'' Loving you is like a roller coaster ride, Makes me wanna fly and touch the blue sky, Makes me wanna smile and feel shy, Makes me wanna rejoice and jump high. Loving you is like a roller coaster ride, Makes me wanna defy and deny, Makes me wanna cry and run wild, Makes me wanna hate and hide. Loving you is like a roller coaster ride, Makes me wanna dream and desire, Makes me wanna scream and surprise, Makes me wanna zeal up and be zany. Loving you like a roller coaster ride, Makes me wanna refuse and retire, Makes me wanna detach and despise, Makes me wanna conceal and compromise. Loving you is like a roller coaster ride, Makes me wanna walk by your side and spend my whole life, Makes me wanna build up hopes and fulfill my duty as your wife, Makes me wanna sing that sweet melody and keep up with your rhyme. Loving you is like a roller coaster ride, Loving you is like a roller coaster ride.
Funny thing is I have always loved roller coaster rides. I would take a ride and enjoy being thrown up in air and ups and downs. Never knew that life is actually telling me it is like a roller coaster ride of feelings, emotions, happiness, sadness and all. I believe in having dreams and fulfilling them. Lets live life to fullest be happy.
(Some people are focused and they do fulfill their commitments, but hey I'm talking about lazy people like me. No offence to anyone.)
Why New Year's Resolution never gets fulfilled? Guess?
Cause it's got problem in itself.
"Re-solution"
Imagine your New Year resolution to lose weight, find a new job, quit smoking and do blah blah things; you never actually fulfill it and then same resolution next year. Haha! Its a SOLUTION (as in maths) that we try seek RE-SOLUTION every year. You try to do same thing every year in a different way I guess.
Hey rather than wasting time on New year resolutions why not work hard and analyse the solutions at the end of the year. That might be a real solution of how you tackled things.
There are many New years in a year; Chinese New Year, English New year, (Mayan New year ;) :P nearly ended our world), Nepali New Year, Lohsar, Chasok Tangnam, Newari New Year, your Birthday itslef; if you start making resolutions in all of them, you will end up messing your day-to-day routine.
Just relax and chill. Word hard !!!
My New Year Resolution is to finish everything I started in 2012 and the New tear resolution. Hahahhahahahahha
Now everyone must be busy thinking about New Year and new year celebrations, here I am in my laptop thinking about 2012. Yet another year passed by so quickly. Time never stops for anyone. Soon I will be celebrating my blog's 2nd successful year.
2012 has been a good year for me. Going on holidays to different destinations like Cornwall, Lake district, Northern Ireland and other parts of UK was the best part of this year. I did something new, something different and life is in a different twist. Well, we still have to live a long life so I am trying to make it different and bit more interesting. We had so many momo parties, BBQ parties and every weekend was like a get-together that we had to attend. Got penalty charge for parking few times and there were times that I do not want to remember. But again I am saying here I am alive, healthy and right state of mind.
I have been content academically and financially hmmmm well (money is never enough). I love blogging.
In 2012 as well I have been outrageously active in social networking sites such as instagram, googleplus, facebook, twitter, blog, whatsapp, viber and god knows what. I found a sweet little sister and her sister who lead me to another world of Nepalese community. I kept good connection with all my cyber buddies. Anyways overall I loved 2012.
Hey everybody, we made it through 2012. Doom's day or whatever did not stop us from living our life and the continuation of human survival. I wish the year 2013 would bring joy, happiness, success and lots of love in your life.
Learn from your past,
Live for your present,
Look for the future!!
Make your life meaningful and worthwhile. Overcome your insecurities, inferior complexities and negative thoughts; then your will see life is beautiful.
Regards limshaku :)
Let me get straight to the point and put aside all 'hi and hello' stuffs. I suppose we know each other long enough now. If you are reading my blog for the first time then I would sincerely thank you for visiting.
I hate to admit it. Sometimes I feel like if I am interested in something and I yearn for it desperately, I work hard to get it and then even harder when it is difficult to get. Then slowly somehow my interest in it starts to fade away. Does that happen to only me or some other people as well? I ask this question so many times with myself and I cannot really come to any conclusion. My mind does not yield any ideas at all. As time passes on and you are still trying hard to get what you are wishing for, the more you learn about the target, it might be the case that you get more disappointed knowing facts and hidden secrets about it. It's like the job you desperately wanted and then after you get it with your hard work you feel like it was not what you really enjoyed. I have always wanted to study hard and achieve the best formal education. It just hits my mind occasionally that why I study; why do I want to achieve academical goals. I do go out of my aim and feels like running away from everything. These are all unstoppable thoughts in my mind and there is a declaration of war between mind and instincts. Well, the fact is I am studying and I am trying my best.
Achieving your target is a big achievement itself. We all sway away from our aim and goals sometimes and after we get it we might feel like what was so great about it which made me work so hard; but think of it as only the initial stage and keep on working. I set my goal as being a person who could or might bring smile on your face. It is not always possible but I can always try. I guess my goal is simple or might be vast and never ending but I feel like it is challenging and something which always makes me work on it.
(this little girl makes me smile.)
Study never ends. We are always learning and life is always teaching us lessons. Hope you learn more and also enjoy life. I wish everyone to have someone who can bring smile in their faces and make their hearts happy.
May the coldness of December freeze all my insecurities. Saying goodbye to another year 2012 feels strange. I have become more mature than before (haha).
Thank you for reading my blog and I can never stop thanking you for supporting me in my writing.
Couple of months back these lines just popped into my head and jot it down my notes straightaway. Sometimes some people hurt you so much that later in your life even if they come infront of you, you will have no words left to say to them and no feelings to express moreover no emotions to connect. Life is long and I want to live and share it with smile and happiness but still at times it is inevitable to avoid some situations which are uncomfortable. But I would still:
Try to love the ones who hates me, comfort the ones who hurts me, serve the ones who annoys me and probably speak to the ones who ignores me BECAUSE I should atleast try my best. It is only love and comfort which can make a difference. I am not god but a simple human being who wants to spread love, happiness and peace.
Durdle Door, Lulworth, Dorset, Summer of 2012.
The broken heart that I have can barely heal,
Even now if you try very hard to seal,
The painful memories I have can rarely fade away,
Even now if you try hard to giveaway,
The happy short moments I have can surely disappear,
Even now if you in front of me reappear.
Thank you all my blog readers for your support and reading my posts. My life has completely changed ever since I started blogging and it would not have been possible without readers like you. Appreciate it.
बिशाल समुन्द्रमा हेर,
छालहरुका चक्रभयू मात्र देख्छौ तिमीले,
उच्च हिमशिखरहरुमा हेर,
बरफका बुट्टाहरुमात्र देख्छौ तिमीले,
मेरो आखामा हेर,
बेदनाहरुका भण्डारमात्र पाउँछौ तिमीले,
मेरो नजिक आई हेर,
चिसोपनका हुरीबतासमात्र महसुस गर्छौ तिमीले,
मलाई अंगाली हेर,
निर्जीव बस्तुहरुका पुत्लामात्र पाउछौ तिमीले,
मेरो आत्मामा झाँकेर हेर,
भौंतारिरहेका भावनाहरुका संगालोमात्र समेट्छौ तिमीले,
तर , तर मेरो मुहारमा हेर,
प्रबल हाँसोहरुका सृंगारमात्र देख्छु तिमीले //
I just wrote this poem cause it just strike my mind. Somewhere there might someone feeling down and thinking of same thing which is mentioned in this poem but HEY people, life is to enjoy. Smile and the whole world will smile back at you. Imagine world full of smiles.
Hope all my readers would bare with me for not blogging too often. Live blissfully everyone.
Me, my sister and a brother and his wife suddenly decided to go for holiday together. It was their idea to chose Northern Ireland neither me or my sister had been there before. He planned everything, flights, accommodation and car hire.
The day finally came when we had to board flight to go to NI (Northern Ireland). It was an early flight. I tell you what, boarding Budget Airlines doesn't feel like a that kind of flying experience that you desire. I have always flown in Qatar Airways and other ones but always felt nicer there. The terminal felt like a Victoria Coach station and when we were actually there inside the plane I fell asleep. It was a mere 1 hour journey and there we were, ready to land on the NI soil. I didn't see any scenary cause I was sleeping and another reason was I was not in the window seat. :( But that is what we paid so that is what we get I guess. I have seen those budget airlines show in TV and imagined my journey was better than what they show in telly.
Funny thing is people actually stare at you cause we have different skin colour and they might have never spotted anyone like us so frequently.
It took us nearly an hour to get the car hire which was already booked. Soon after that we started roaming around Belfast international Airport. We went to nearby lake, Lough Neagh. A big lake whose waves felt as big as sea's waves. We still had a whole day to roam around so we decided to go to Silent Valley Reservoir. This place was recommended to me by a instagram follower 'frantic_photography' few days before our trip. That place was awesome. Some things and places are better of seeing yourself. It is amazing to see how human being managed to create such a thing, what a engineering at that time. I also paid tribute to those who died while building that reservoir. I can't explain how beautiful it felt to run wildly around that area. The sounds of massive fall of water, smell of grass, freshness of pure mountain water, the breeze that passed through my cheeks. We all were pretty exhausted and hunger stricken till we reached the apartment.
Luckily there was a Tesco store just below the apartment we stayed at. We cooked a proper dinner and before even finishing one single program in telly we fell asleep in couch.
Next morning we had planned to go to Portrush. Driving in Northern Ireland was a real fun. I tell you what, the roads were wider, toilet signs found everywhere, FREE PARKING signs were ludicrous and people of NI actually GIVE you WAY. I have driven in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Kent, East Anglia, Yorkshire, Wales, Sussex, Essex, Surrey, and many other places but never felt as nice as driving in NI. This time we stayed at ''No Alcohol and No hot food'' allowed in the room Youth Hostel. There were other people staying there as well. After we unpacked and relaxed, we wanted to go for stroll. According to the recommendation of the owner of the hostel, we decided to take the Causeway Coastal Route from Portrush towards Balintoy. Many beautiful places followed after that. White Park Bay, Carrick-a-Rede, Rope Bridge, Dunluce Castle, Giant Causeway and so on. It did rain for a short period other than that weather was favourable to our trip. To get to the Rope Bridge was 15 minutes walk. We didn't cross the bridge cause being NEPALI we already know how it feels like to be on a rope bridge. We have so many rope bridges ( झुलुंगे पुल ). The longest time we spent was at Giant Causeway. It was such a feeling which I do not have words to explain. We saw a lonely sea-lion as well. We met a really lovely couple Jeff & Christine from Seattle, USA. They were really nice people and we exchanged some conversation. Finding out that we were Nepali, seems like they were really excited. They said they would love to go there someday. It feels nice to hear that people know about Nepal. The waves were really really big comparision to the waves I saw in England. Just staring at the waves and seawater we spent lot of time there. In the evening ( the opening ceremony of ParaOlympics), we sat at a pub nearby and drank MUST not Miss drink - Guinness.
Natural formed hexagonal stones
The next morning I woke up earlier. I decided to go for a walk. The waves were even bigger in the morning. Slamming very hard on those rocks yet they could neither move nor deteriorate those coastal stones. I felt like '10,000 white horse running and rushing towards the shore. I have a video that shows briefly. We had to get to the airport by 3 pm so we couldn't really go anywhere else. Instead of that we decided to take a long drive and go through the mountains, forest and landscapes of NI. On the flight back, it was Air Lingus. Thanks god it was a little bit better service. I had a hunch that I could see something nice. I did see Anglesey and my sister saw Isle of Man from other side. It definately seemed like Snowdonia near Anglesey with high mountains. But I am not sure of it. I can see only clouds for some time. The clouds and the waves I saw in the morning looked similar. Some places, clouds looked like a Candy stick of Kate Perry song 'California Girls'. It is just amazing to how clouds stay like that. As soon as our plane entered London, we could see the dense houses, M25. I was more excited to see London Eye, O2, Thames River exactly the way I see in 'Eastenders', Parliament House, Oval Building, Tower Bridge and many many things I have known of. It was like a free Aeriel view of London. A boy infront of my seat was really excited as well. My heart was at peace after I saw Wembley Stadium, felt like home. I saw Wimbledon Centre Court, blue tank of Southall and so on. Landing was pleasant. After all the passengers got out I wanted to thank the pilot for bringing us safely to our destination. It might just be another journey of a day for him but not for me. The airhostess showed me where pilot was, just coming out of cockpit. I went to him on my way out and told him, 'Thank you for bringing me safely. I watch lot of those Aircrash Investigation program in National Geography Channel in youtube'. He laughed randomly and said, 'Oh none of that happened today' and gave a big smile. First time in my life I thanked any pilot.
Hence, there we were, in our city, London. As soon as we came out of plane we could see people of different ethnic background, busy and narrow roads, smells of curry in bus, and a car overtaking bus when oncoming traffic was just 2 or 3 yards away and so on. Still being in London feels different. It feels like home now.
My short trip budget trip to Northern Ireland was more than what we bargained for. If I get a chance in future I would love to go for 5 hour long walk through the Causeway Coastal Route.
Thank you for reading this long post. Hope you can feel what I felt there but again words aren't enough to explain the beauty of nature and the beauty of feeling awesome.
This day last year I started writing again, the long lost passion of mine. I used to write poems and essay back in Nepal and then for nearly 10 years I didn't really write anything. Thanks to few of my twitter buddies I felt like going back to writing. Blogger gave me the platform I needed to lay my write-ups. Since then it's been non-stoping experience. When I hear people commenting about my blog and they recognise me through my blog, I feel blessed.
I feel like I have a place where I can actually pour the goodness, the badness, the sadness, the happiness, the nastiness, the madness, the ups and downs of living life. I like introducing people who has talents. Mostly I am more interested in writing about my country Nepal. The comments and feedback I get from readers of my blog encourages me to write more interestingly and beautifully.
I am very grateful to all of you for your support and expect you to suggest me to make this blog even better. From the bottom, of whatever side of my heart ;) :P :D I wish to join my hands together and say 'thank you'.
I wish to continue writing as long as I have the inspiration to write.
Thanking you.
Miss Limbu :)
