My journey of helping

Published On: July 21, 2019 09:45 AM NPT By: Shikha Bahety

As a kid, if anyone asked me what I wanted to become, my answer varied every year, or should I say each quarter. As I grew, I did not have a concrete answer, but I knew I liked basketball as a sport and accounts as a subject. In no time, I started pursuing Chartered Accountancy. I completed the course with a lot of determination and perseverance while working at an audit firm. I realized this was not my calling and I was still trying to figure out what was. I transitioned my field from Accounting to Advertising, which was a huge step, and I never looked back and regretted any of my decisions.

I miss you

Published On: March 15, 2019 09:40 AM NPT By: Shikha Bahety

We all feel your presence guiding us in each step, really strong. Even if your physical presence is missing, you are taking care of us and giving us that strength to continue with our life. The power to live each day and every moment even when there is a void that can never be fulfilled. You give us the capacity to understand that there can be no tomorrow, and at the same time giving hope for one with the belief that everything is temporary in this world.

Are you an awesome flirt?

Published On: October 11, 2018 09:48 AM NPT By: Shikha Bahety

We were focused on a discussion on flirting during a get-together. The discussion lasted for a couple of hours.  As we got deeper into the subject of being a flirt while in a relationship, everyone shared their own opinion. Some said that it was an inborn talent which could do no harms if the intentions were right. While, others thought that it was wrong, especially if you were already in a relationship.

Learn to give

Published On: October 8, 2018 10:40 AM NPT By: Shikha Bahety

Last few events at The KTM Drive has made me realize that there is so much to give, and the more that I have gotten from the involvement in social activities, it feels that we have been doing much less. There are kids who are struggling to live another day. Many cannot even afford a one-time meal, and some have never seen their parents.

Kathmandu Roads

Published On: September 15, 2018 08:56 AM NPT By: Shikha Bahety

With the on-going road construction in Kathmandu, the traffic jam has also increased immensely. Also, the ever-increasing number of vehicles and haphazard parking on the road has caused the roads to go narrower. At present, it takes the double amount of time to commute from one destination to another. There are a lot of people who complain about the dreadlocks on the streets each day and spend a lot of time on their travel from home to their workplace, and vice-versa. The problem is not just the traffic but the dust and pollution that have increased respiratory problems as well.

Our perception toward life

Published On: September 4, 2018 08:46 AM NPT By: Shikha Bahety

Why do we think that we have forever? Why do we not comprehend that there is an end and life is more than what we are striving, and living for? Why is it difficult for us to accept that we are not immortals?

Dead end

While I visited the Pashupatinath temple, and crossed the Aryaghat, it gave me chills as it always does; thinking about how we are already cloaked in the mantle of mortal body. We all know it. A person does not exist always, and soon she or he is remembered in name only.
