It's been 10 years since I finished 10+2 (A Levels),

It's been 10 years since I left my best friend Cad (nickname),

It's been 10 years since I left my home to persue my career,

It's been 10 years since I left my country Nepal,

It's been 10 years since the Royal Massacre took place (in Nepal),

It's been 10 years since 9/11 Twin-Towers disaster,

It's been 10 years since I first took TOEFL test,

It's been 10 years since I knew how people can use and mislead you,

It's been 10 years since I first started earning for myself,

It's been 10 years since I realised that sometimes your priorities are only 'earning for living' (gaas, baas and kapaas),

It's been 10 years since I challenged life and it has challenged me all the time after that.

It's been 10 years !!!

Time really flies so quickly. Grab the opportunity, embrace the moments and store the best memories. Do what you like before it's too late. Learn to respect time cause it never goes back.

Love > Heartbreak > Music

Yesterday I went to watch a Bollywood movie 'Rockstar' with my people. I only watch selected Bollywood movie. It was a nice movie. One point it was saying to the lead actor, 'you need to feel pain to create great music'. The lead actor does not feel anything till the girl leaves him. I'm not really trying to do publicity of the movie but just trying to write few points I liked most.

• How the girl is carefree when she meets him. They make a list of crazy things they want to do. And they dare to do it as well. Those crappy pubs and clubs where they dance.
• The scene of Kashmir. I just love that place and dream to go there if life and luck assist me.
• When the girl says she will meet him in Prague and the guy says ,'I haven't even been to Nepal'. Hahaha crazy lines.
• When he says to the bride (actress) "Every guy in the wedding secretly fantasies about the bride at night". Hahahhhahaha
• How he pauses for a minute when he hears the sound of 'Shehnai' played by an old man. This sound is normally played in weddings.
• How practical life is; she's got married life but he still seeks her presence. People who are in music; I have always found them living in different world of their own.
• How he rises to fame. You can learn music everywhere, in shrine, in roads, etc.
• The best and funniest part I ever liked is : when this Rockstar Jordan vomits in the red carpet event. (It's just a glimpse) He is very very carefree and does not give a damn to anybody.
• The back vocal was given by Mohit Chouhan and its just lovely. He also sang one of my other favourite song 'Naa hai yeh paana' from movie 'Jab We Met'.
• How the movie has still kept the reality fact alive and no commercial fonda, like the girl was about to get married and she does get married. How she was going to die and she does end up in coma. No here and there spiced up thing. The reality and curse of being famous. Even his friends love his fame and status rather than his loneliness and restlessness.
• When he tries to figure out why he couldn't be sad like when he says 'I was fed well in childhood, I wasn't adopted, my parents are still alive, I have a good family, blah blah'. There is nothing that could give him pain.

He, the rockstar, does create great music because of the real pain he feels deep within his heart. The pain of denial, the pain of love, the pain of seperation from family, the pain of separation from his love of life. Does it really happen? Does the pain inside your heart makes you create such great music? I also write poems, and I personally think that people write what they have gone through. Talking about that yep there are singer/ songwriter who has written about the state of their pain, happiness and so on.
Examples are like : (based on what I heard, no factfinding is carried out)

1. Eric Clapton wrote 'Tears in Heaven' when his son died.
2. Pink wrote many songs related to the phases of her life. 'So what', 'Please don't Leave', 'Like a Pill'.
3. Axl Rose wrote 'Sweet Child Oh Mine' for his sweetheart of that time.
4. Christina Aguilera sang 'You are Beautiful' which reflects her Life as well.
5. Mariah Carey wrote 'Hero'.
6. Gary Barlow wrote 'Patience', I guess he was being patient towards his comeback and drawback.
7. Jon Bon Jovi wrote 'Midnight In Chelsea' cause he loved the place.
8. Bruno Mars says 'Count on me' to his friends, 'Today I don't feel like doing anything' to his dad, 'The way you are' to his girl. I like his simple lyrics songs.
9. Talking about Nepali songs, 'Bides jaane mayalu' is one of the greatest song I heard. The singer/ songwriter wrote the song remembering his ex who married somebody else.
Chandani Shah is writer of most of the heart-touching song behind the greatest hits of SworSamrat Narayan Gopal 'Euta mancheko' also Singer Tara Devi 'Ukali orali haruma'. Tragically as her lyrics in the song which goes on like "jaha jaha janchau timi, chaya bani pachyayi rahanchu" (wherever you go I will follow you) she died with her husband together.
10. Puff daddy remixed the song 'I'll be missing you' to give tribute to his friend Notorious Big.
11. Eminem always dares to write and sing the songs which relates to some reality situation.
12. Amy Winehouse's 'Rehab' and many songs are superb.
13. The famous composer Mozzart. He created magical music following the different phases of his life as well. Finally it killed him.

Well if I go on like this it'll be a long long long long list. So, I'm going to STOP it here.

I believe music can also be created to show happiness as well and not only pain.

Well done actor, the whole movie crew and the newcomer girl. Music of this movie is encouraging and rocking. Rock is the form of music I like most anyways.

Thanks for bothering to read it till end. Keep visiting. :))

The day I was totally pissed off

The day I was totally pissed off.
( I thought I could sleep but not really)

There are many things happening in life and we kind of face them as we go along. I have been an avid twitter user recently and I'm loving it to bits. I met many nice people and have made friendship without seeing them in person. I never knew that social networking has progressed that much. (it's mentioned in my previous blog post : My Newfound Happiness)

As I was enjoying this new found happiness of mine, here you go : the moment of truth struck me. My name was misused and misleaded by somebody. All I wanted to do was to tweet and spend sometime being happy and seems like my happiness has been too much for somebody. Why can't people be just normal and simple? I wonder how celebrities can digest critics. It's just annoying sometimes. I feel for them. Now I have to put 'Lock' in my tweets, 'privatise my blog comments' and god knows what I have to do. I can't go on like this.  I think I should just hold my dignity and stand up for myself. My right eye has been twitching for quite a few days now (superstitious belief that something bad is going to happen), and here you go I see the disaster. I am reacting to it cause no one has done it before to me. I was always trying to be good to everyone and hope the same from people. So sad The result came out like this. My Sister always used to say what if people misuse your name and informations; she's right. Moment of truth is that she's always right in guessing bad things. I don't blame her for this. It's my fault I tweeted, I tried to be open and frank. Life is too cruel. Today was 'The day I was totally pissed off '. I heted being in public eye, being in Twitter,  Facebook, Blog and so on. Reality check here : I'm pissed off.

I do not want to close up all my accounts and be locked up just because of this. I have worked hard to get to this stage. Hope all my twitter followers and friends would support and help me. I'm in need of your help to survive in the open world of twitter. 

Once again thanks for reading my blog. With your support, I can go on posting things in my blog as long as possible. Much obliged !!!!! 

With Sincere regards,
Shaku Limbu

"ितमी नै" - Only you

 
 एउटा एकदमै पुरानो किवता प्रस्तुत गर्दैछु । आशा छ यहाँहरूलाई मन पर्छ होला । :)

"ितमी नै"
ह्रदयभरि ितमी नै
आँखाभरि ितमी नै
छोडी गयौ िकन खै
आिखर एक्लो भए मैं ।

हरेक शब्दमा ितमी नै
हरेक तालमा ितमी नै
िबर्सी गयौ िकन खै
आखिर घायल भए मैं ।

खोजे मैले ितमी नै
रोजे मैले ितमी नै
िनष्ठूरी बन्यौ िकन खै
आखिर दोधारमा मैं ।

िवशाल तृष्णा ितमी नै
अपार अाशा ितमी नै
बदिलयौ ितमी िकन खै
आिखर रोदनमा परे मैं ॥

Tried to translate it in English but not as good as it should be.

Only you

In my heart, there's only you,
In my eyes, it's only you,
You just left me, don't know why
In the end, I'm left with loneliness of mine.

In my every words, there's only you,
In my every rhymes, it's only you,
You just forgot me, don't know why
In the end, I'm left with hurtful scars of mine.

In my searches, there's only you,
In my choices, it's only you,
You just became selfish, don't know why
In the end, I'm left with undecisive life of mine.

In my  biggest thoughts, there's only you,
In my supreme hopes, it's only you,
You just changed, don't know why
In the end, I'm left with unstoppable tears of mine.

My Words, My Art, My Heart: The Darjeeling Tea: Wrapped around the blanket, shivering with cold, Was waiting for the knock at the door and tiresome day to slowly unfold. As I reached out...

It is evenly said that discipline plays a vital role in every path of life. It is a key to achieve success in life. Many examples of great personalities have been illustrated till now to show the value of discipline.

But let us now see the mathematical fact that proves discipline a medium of 100% success in life. An interesting co-relation between alphabets and mathematical numbers : 

ALPHABETS                             
D : Fourth letter of the alphabet --> 4
I : Ninth letter of the alphabet---> 9
S : Nineteenth letter of the alphabet-->. 19
C : Third letter of the alphabet--> 3
I : Ninth letter of the alphabet--> 9
P : Sixteenth letter of the alphabet--> 16
L : Twelfth letter of the alphabet--> 12
I : Ninth letter of an alphabet--> 9
N : Fourteenth letter of the alphabet--> 14
E : Fifth letter of the alphabet--> 5

Total sum of the numbers =. 100

Hence, the term discipline is verified as a gateway to 100% success in life!
