Shower

Well It all started when I was a child about 8 years old in the out skirt of Khotang. I still remember vividly how my child hood was like than. I used to stay with my grandfather in an old prehistoric house. We had cattle's, pig and other consumable animal in our farm house. My grandpa took care of the animals, plough the land. He used to tell me how happy he was with me rather than not having me. I used to be a mischievous boy and I would disappoint my grandpa most of the time by not obeying him and playing truant from school. I used to live a carefree life. I used to hang out with my friends from the nearby village. We would often go fishing and insect catching. Just to name some of the few guys in my group was, Harka, Duk, Hem and so on. The most memorable thing that happened was, we were fishing. 30 minute walk from our village. We were having a great time catching tiny fishes and soaking in the cold water due to the heat from the sun. While we were deeply having a time of our own, I noticed some one. Pale looking, straight combed hair and she was a she. I stopped my activity and concentrated on her. She had pinkish lips and she was smiling, like as though she wanted to befriend us. I shouted to my friend that some one was spying on us. As I didn't wanted to be inferior especially when my friends were around! In a second, all eyes were focused on her. One of my friend splashed water on her. Then the other started and before I could do anything, I was also joining them. She backed from the splashing and she left running. We were all really giggling and laughing about the splashing incident. But in the back of my mind I felt a guilty sense. I was thinking what she did to deserve this. I kept thinking and the thought just vanished after some times. Well it was Sunday and I was taking the sheep for grazing in the field. While taking the sheep, I came upon the same girl whom was at the pool side the other time. She said hello in a soft tone, but I tried to ignore her thinking I would look macho. As I by passed her, my mind kept thinking what on earth was I doing. I turned back to face her and in a rough tone I said, "Ya what is it". She just gave me a smile and said, "I am Kartika and I just shifted from another state and I am living with my mother in this village". She than asked me my name. As usual, in a rough tone, I said "Suman". She pronounced it correctly and said I had a nice name. She than told me she was lonely and had no friends in this village as she was new and asked me if she could be my friend. I was thinking what would the other boys says when they find out about my new friend, especially those concerning the opposite sex. But something told me not to reject her proposel. With that I agreed to let her be my friend with a disagreeing tone. As days passedby, I was herding the cattle. I was lying back on the fresh green grass, with my eyes shut. And there was a shadow above me, thinking who might it be, I opened my eye and there was this dark complexion, which I couldn't recognize due to the effect from the sun. I quickly struggle to stand up and see who this person was? While getting up, this voice says, "remember me I am Kartika, we met the other day". I was still trying to recall who the hell was this person. Finally everything came into my mind. With a lazy and stern voice, I asked her what she was doing here. She told me, she was bored at home and thought if she could get my company, as well as hers. With that she sat down on the flat soft grass which I had made it as my bed. As we talked I found her more interesting. She was a very friendly, polite and down to earth person. While talking, she put her hand on her left pocket and took out some sweets. In those days, sweets were considered delicacy. I had always asked my grandpa, if he could buy me the sweets. But he never bought for me, due to the price for it. But now here Kartika was offering me. I tried to reject it, but when she opened one of the wrapper, and stared suckling it. I couldn't resist the temptation of the sweet. I was swallowing my own saliva. But she insisted on giving me, like as though she could read my mind. Finally I accepted it. While turning away from her I quickly unwrapped it and put it in my mouth like a hungry pig. I heard giggle from her. She said slowly take your time or else you might choke from it. While she was saying that, I nearly choked. Finally after all my cattle had their full, I bid her bye and left for home. That night, I kept thinking about Kartika, after all she is not a bad girl. While thinking, I had fallen asleep. That night I had a strange dream. In that dream, I dreamt that I was about to being swallowed by a huge a creature. I was shouting and screaming for help. But no one could hear me. Finally I was about to be eaten alive that an angle came and sacrificed herself for me. Than I woke up with sweat flowing like water. I was totally soaked with sweat. Still from the trauma, I couldn't help but buried my face with fear. The next day was normal for me, I was heading to gaze my cattle and to meet Kartika. While on my way, one of my friends Harka told came rushing to me. He had a serious expression. I knew something was wrong. I quickly asked him what was wrong. While panting, he told me Kartika was dead. I was in disbelieving, as how such young person could die……. As days went by, I realized that she had a illness which was incurable. Till this day, I still miss her dearly, my friend Kartika.
ME THE TRUTH

Ever Since the evolution of mankind, there was only one man. A man with no objective and no future. 1000 years had passed and he lived a lonely life. And a lonely self. One day he got so bored that he decided to grow plants. He even
Writer .Well it is not easy to write novel. But what I need is more practice and more research. This way I might improve or worsen. This is fact about life and its way. I had alwayswanted to write good novel. To capture my readers attention and to addict them to my story! To do this I have to have a good introduction and good imagination, before I start. This way my reader will want to read more of my story. There are many examples, from story to books which will help me in doing so. What I need to do is research from other books and to gain more knowledge if I want to really improve in time. Most important of all I have to start from writing short novel. Something sweet and short to start off with! Another way is to write and give people to read to get feedback from them. This is all relevant in our everyday life. What I can say is that we all live once, and we need to concur the hearts of the nature. As long as we are pleased when our time comes, we will die without regrets. That's why every human wants to achieve something in his or her life. They want to leave back some important history about themselves in this life. And to pass it down to the future generation! Human are human after all, some take it for granted and some cherish it. Its what every individuals counts. So for me I will want to forget about the past and think for the future, if I can or am given a second chance. I know the outcome, but am not really sure about it. So let see what awaits me in the coming days.



Oxygen
Like they say the sky is always blue, but it can be dark, If we don't take care our nature, it will one day be unimaginable. So we need to educate our newer generation in conservation of the nature and lead a positive life. One of the most common plants are trees, shrubs, and etc… So what I believe is that if one can stand up, so can the rest. So let us spread this message and educate the people and lets bring every one close together. By doing this we will feel secure and feel a pride of achievement. Let us take this opportunity to pray to nature for it contribution in bringing us human in this world and giving us what we need most, OXYGEN.. Thanks

Planning on a trip

Its been some time that I realized that I need to go out and have a time of my life. But what I really need is to get financial help from the Bank to get my desired need. So tomorrow I am going to the Bank to seek for a loan of about $100K. This will be enough for my entire trip from Europe to Africa. But I need to convenience them that I can repay them back once I start work. My current salary is $5000. With that I can pay a monthly deduction of $500. This way I will be able to pay back the bank within 2 years of work. With that I need to carefully plan what I need to be bringing with me. First of all I need to make out a schedule of what I should be carrying with me for my whole journey. From my pants to shoes to my smallest necessities! With all of that I need to buy guide books to get information about the country and the culture and religion. With all this settled, I need to exchange currency. This are one of the most important details which tourists needs to consider before heading out for an adventure. So to all who are planning to have a time of your life. Plan carefully.

Money

What do we understand by the term, money! Well some say that money is the root to all evil. And some say money is everything. Well for me, money is both as mentioned as above. Now is the 21st centaury, money is a must. Without it, survival is very slim. We have to work to earn a living, just to feed our self and our family. The world has changed so drastically that even the happiest people from the poorest country, understands about money. It is may be the fact that they do want to live a comfortable life too. And use the latest gadgets. In this way, it is also polluting the people mind. That's why there are a lot of crimes going on every where. There are some who are even willing to take other life for the sake of money. So there are two side of money, just like human being. So to balance this theory, I will say "just like me, I know what is good and bad about my self. And the same concept goes for people who handle money".
Thank you.

Definition

Like they say beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. And beauty is only skin deep. What we forget to see is how well behaved is this person and how is his/her character. That's why we can't judge a book by its cover. Once we read it than we see the clearer picture. To understand this person, we have to have mutual conversation and good behavior ethics. Like they say the grass is greener on the other side. May be we might be able to have a good friendship with this person after some times.

To my Beloved
Kartika.
Well the war seems almost over, and I have been looking forward to peace again.I missed you a lot and sometimes in battle too, I kept thinking of you. You are my inspiration for me being alive and hoping for a new day from the enemy bullets. Well I really missed the times when we would spend the afternoon with our two lovely kids together. By the way how is our lovely daughter Sandra and son Sam? I hope they are all right. And tell them that I am all right. And please tell them I will bring them their favorite chocolate when I return, and Papa misses them dearly. I believe the war will be over within a month. As we have now advanced in the border of the enemy line. What we really need is a good strategy to win this battle. Honey, please take care of yourself and the kids. I will be all right. I will write you within a week.
Bye for now

To My Beloved
Kartika

I really wish to come back. But I really can’t, due to my contract with the National Army. I really can’t stand the blood sheds and the decaying bodies. And the pain the wounded are facing, it is really making me sick. But as we are emerging victory, I will fight for our country till we are victory. Don't worry about me, I will be all right. Just take care, and be a strong person for the sake of our kids.
