Her first camera experience.

 



Always after 5 o'clock, we friends gather together in the college canteen or outside the college. Not many but there were few people who knew that I always bring my camera in my bag, and there is even a little girl who knows about it. 


We friends were gossiping with each other, meanwhile, she came near me and asked " dai Aaja camera lyaunu Vacha" and I replied "umm..", and then she said: ea ae.


Her voice was already telling, she wanted to play with a camera but didn't have enough courage to ask me for that. so,I asked her " chaluney ho",

she said "bigriyo vane, malai ta chalaunai aaudaina"

I replied: "bigriyo vaney ma aafai banauchu lau timi photo khicha" 

and I opened my bag, brought the camera, and handed it to her. 


She opened the camera and took some pictures. She was very excited and shared that this was her first camera experience.


After that our college guard uncle came closer and said "le nani, vai ko ra mero photo khich", this little kid also came in the frame in his heroic look. 


When I was looking at these pictures back home, I realized , what if I told her I didn't bring my camera, I wouldn't have experienced her precious smile.

Maybe one day she will remember there was the Dai from whom I got my first camera experience in my life.


I think intentionally or unintentionally what we do, if our small gesture can put a smile on someone's face then that is the best income you can earn.

So my wife’s going to a gala tonight — as her client’s “date.”

I’m 44 and my wife is 44. She works on an art advisory committee, so attending galas, events, and client meetings is part of her job. She often meets clients for coffee, lunch, or dinner, and I don’t always know the details and that’s completely normal because it’s part of her work. She’s always professional, transparent about her friendships, and I trust her judgment completely. Recently, she mentioned she’s going to a gala with a friend, S. He’s a wealthy client she met about a year ago, and they became friends professionally. She introduced me to him once, and he seems like a genuinely good person. He invited her as his “date” to this gala, and my wife said it’s fine. I did ask her though, if she’s actually going as a “date,” and she just laughed and said, “Date doesn’t always mean romantic.” She said it’s important for her she could get networking and meet new people. Then she smiled and said, “If I get into this gala next time, I won’t need to take that man with me, I’ll take you...

I accidentally started a fake relationship with my dentist’s nephew and now I have to bring him to my cousin’s wedding

I swear this isn’t as insane as it sounds. Or maybe it is. I don’t know anymore. So I had to get my wisdom teeth pulled last month. All four. It was horrible. I cried when they put the numbing stuff in. Not from pain, just vibes. The dentist was this sweet older guy, probably in his 60s, super gentle, gave dad energy. Anyway, after the whole thing I’m in the waiting room with a mouth full of gauze, looking like a bloated chipmunk and trying not to drool on myself. This guy walks in. Maybe 20-ish. Tall, curly hair, kind of goofy looking but in a hot way. He smiles at me and goes, “You look like you fought a squirrel and lost.” I flip him off. With love. Apparently he’s the dentist’s nephew. He was dropping off lunch or something, I wasn’t listening. I was trying to keep my face from leaking. He sits down and starts chatting with me while I wait for my ride. I don’t say much because again, gauze goblin. But I must’ve made an impression because later that night I get a message on Instagr...

A Cinematic Masterpiece: 'Halkara' Deserves More Recognition

 So, the weekend is almost over and Sunday is always special to me. In a sense, I was always wandering, taking myself on a trip to the valley. This story is quite different and interesting. In the middle of my journey, I felt ready and motivated to write about it, so here it goes. This story is about a single movie that inspired me to write. I had no plans to watch a Nepali movie called 'Halkara,' which had recently been released. As I passed by midtown, I wasn't prepared to watch it, but I found myself at the ticket counter buying a ticket for myself. When I bought the ticket, there were only five people who had booked the show, and all the seats were empty. The show was scheduled to start at 12:30 pm, and I entered the hall. Finally, the movie started. I cannot describe how amazing the cinematography, storyline, characters, acting, and overall vibe of this movie were. I still can't believe that this movie didn't receive a good response from...
