Great view, isn't it?

All in all, a great day with the nature and the rain.

Rain? Bring it on.

I simply love rain. Being from pokhara and already used to almost every day's heavy downpour, some people get fed up with the rain; but not me.

I love the sound it makes; I really do. I can stay hours just observing rain.
Rain symbolize freshness, cleanliness, new beginning and encouragement for me.

To put it simple; Rain recharges me. So just bring it on.

Where happiness comes in small packages




The great thing about being a citizen of Nepal is that you can feel really great on some trivial things; it’s close to that at least. Today was a special day. Couple of days ago the petroleum price was hiked almost 25% and suddenly the petroleum supply was normal. Suddenly the never ending queue for refueling vanished and I almost forgot I used to be there for about one and half hour every time I had to refuel. It’s almost a dream come true i.e., being able to get the gas without waiting much, without being in a war to push yourself (including your bike) up in the queue [Sigh]. The worst nightmare is to be informed about the unavailability of fuel after being in the queue for more than an hour.

But I am going to forget all that today; I got the fuel. No matter how many dreams you own it’s always when any of them gets through. This is something like a dream come reality. It’s a crazy thought but we live this way. I told you before, here happiness comes in small packages. It happens only in Nepal. Cheers!
