Tragedy of the Sorts

A minister goes on a trip to US on an invitation from one of the Congressman. The Congressman takes the minister to his home aka palace. The minister is shocked and inquires about the source of the money. The congressman shows him a bridge on the outskirts and let’s in on the secret. Twenty percent off the top of that bridge construction fund.

The minister comes back and after about a year invites the congressman. He takes the congressman to his palace which was bigger and better then his. The congressman out of curiosity inquires about the funds for the building. The minister takes the congressman over to the river near his house and shows him the bridge. The congressman is surprised. He couldn’t see any bridge there. The minister laughs and says, 100% off the top of that bridge.

Isn’t it a tragedy? There is not a place or people that won’t be involved in a tragedy. The difference is absolute corruption versus a twenty percent corruption. Nepal is one country facing absolute corruption. As long as we don’t change this situation no matter what you do, no one will be able to bring any change. It’s so simple actually. Any kind of investment for the infrastructure would lead to improved earning for the people in the reason increasing their per capita income and their standard of living. Improved standard of living means more expenditure. So on and on which would finally result in more income for the state. A rich state always means rich people.

But this all starts from educated and ethical bureaucrats. This all starts from people willing to put their personal interest behind them.

The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it

Tomorrow is the birthday of a very close and dear friend of mine. I just not am able to decide on what to give her.

Doing some refection of what would be most ideal gift that I could receive from someone the answer that I came across was what another close and dear friend told me once before going away for her studies. The best gift that you can give me, you have already given me. "You have made me fell loved like no other. This has brought meaning to my life. There is nothing you can give or do that can change the relationship or give me more pleasure in receiving."

Isn't life strange. The best things in life are free if you just know the right place to look for it. We are receving gifts from ppl which holds more meaning everyday without ever realising it. Sit down for a moment and think about it. Think about all the wonderful moments you have spent in your life and all the ppl you have spent with. Would you trade that for one bit. Not me. I would not trade this life with any other cause the ppl I have met along the way have brought meaning to me that I just can't afford to trade.

At 22 I have a career, respect, and most importantly love and friendship that would last a person a life time. The only thing missing is that special love from that special person. Not saying that other ppls in my life are not special or their love not special, I hope you get the meaing. I am lucky to have two very special ppl in my life and to have recieved their love (not the two ppl mentioned above). But what I miss is not being able to give back that love to them.

Is there anything called Unconditional love?? I believe in it. When thinking abt this a line from the movie "Laws of Attraction" comes to mind. "When you love somebody, I believe you should be unselfish to give them what they want." And he gives a divorce to the girl he loves cause she askes for it. I believe in that kind of love. Love is not something you can capture in your fist. It's some thing you capture in your heart. And unlike something captured in your fist, it will not blow away when you open your heart.

Life is special in itself and love is something that makes it just that much more special. Love addes the same kind of meaning to life that a painter addes to a piece of paper/canvas and a artist adds to a piece of stone/wood.

Well there are a lot more things that I would like to say but running out of time some other time may be.

This friend of mine asked for a Ferraie. I can't give it to her now but one day i certainly will cause.....

My latest Purchase

In my ever quest to better myself and read books that hold meaning to me I came across this great book from Richard Bach. Here are two of most enduring para from the book the rest u judge urself if it is worth reading.

"If the child-we-were asked us today for the best we've learned from living, what would we tell, and what would we discover in return?"

"My truth has been a long time refining, I've explored and drilled for it with hope and intuition, filtered and condensed it the best I could with reflection, then run it through my engines, wary at first, to see what would happen"

This one is from another book by the same author. Just wanted to mention it:
"Finding ourselves is like flying an ancient biplane coast-to-coast: there are storms ahead, but once we've started, it's too late to turn back."

Some Personal Life Update

Have been writing a lot about my thoughts and feelings on different subjects and topics and it had been sometime since I wrote something of my own personal update. Life has been going good for the past month or so. Been to goa for my vacation was a load of fun and now looking for a new adventure. Still waiting from universities for their reply on whether i have been accpeted or not. Though have had positive response from all round. Still waiting. This waiting has been the frustrating part of the life.

There has been steady and continuos work flow at the office. So that part of the life is still preety gr8. Enjoying my life working. Though these days have become less of a workacholic. The evening routine of going to New Road has resumed again after over a yrs break. Sister is back home right now for a couple of weeks so tht's good too.

Days are getting warmer and longer now and nights are shorter. Have made a couple of new chat frnds these days and have been chatting with them. though i still don't understand the use of it. I mean I am never going to meet them or anything but just chatting I find it a waste of time but at the same time knowing a few more ppl never hurt anyone. Seems I am preety popular amongst the Indian girls croud. Have had a lot of word of mouth advertisment from different places.

Well what else is there. Guess life has gone into a routine. So there is hardly anything worth notind down. Past couple of months have been the most stagnent of my life. But it feels to get off the fast track once in a while and let things happen at its own pace. But this is going to be the last month like that. Next month onwards back to the old pace and into the fast track. Well meet you soon with a new update.

I felt loved & that's all It matters

No Regrets

I one fine day when I wake up and there standing in the door way I find death. He has come to take me and if I can say with content that yes this is the right time for me to go with no regrets. That for me is a successful and a meaningful life. A life of achievement and content with no regrets of leaving things behind.

The greatest compliment to life can only given by death for the way it was lived and the meaning it gave to others lifes.

I have loved her the day Ii set my eyes on her and I love her today and I have loved her every single second in between that. What I dream of is a man who will discover her and she will discover a man who will love her, who is worthy of her, who is of this world, of this time and has the grace and compassion and fortitude to walk beside her as she makes her way through this beautiful thing called life. And I hope that man in HER life is ME.

About my faith

Do you believe in God? If you do, then you must definitely believe in devil. The counter balance. If you believe in good you have to believe in evil. Jesus and Satan go hand in hand. But do I really believe in god? It’s a yes and a no. Yes is because I do believe in god but no since I don’t believe in the conventional god. Conventional?? You know the almighty savior of the world. The single being behind the human and the protector and the punisher of all and blah blah…

My god is different. He is not there to award you or punish you. He is not there to keep our records so that our after life can be decided. He does not provide justice cause he is not a judge. God for me a driving force, my moral support, the last person I can believe in when I have lost faith on myself. I can’t believe in a god who sits out there handing out entry tickets to heaven and hell on the price that we have paid in our lifes. I can’t believe in a god who causes disasters to punish the unworthy and kills people for a grand design. I can’t believe in a god whose wisdom I can’t question. My god has no wisdom. I can question his action anytime I like. My god is all giving. He keeps track of no sins. Anyone who wants to believe in him can do so and have faith in him. When you have no one and feeling lonely he will be there for you with no regards to your religion, faith and actions.

My god does not believe in grand destiny. He does not interfere with mother nature. A doctor with however noble cause will suffer if not careful. A thief/robber however evil will not be struck by lightening just when walking down the street.

I read somewhere the meaning of peace is to be able to stay relaxed and grow in the midst of chaos and help your fellow beings. My god gives me that peace and nothing more. For everything else there is nature and a set of rules that will be followed no matter what and that guarantees that no one can interfere with life making it possible for us to lead it normally. Otherwise think of a world which was made up of exceptions for good and bad people how chaotic would that be.
