Beauty of fireflies

Published On: July 19, 2017 01:33 PM NPT By: Prem Chaudhary

Nobody knows how actually time passes. We all pass through different stages of life and they all have their own reminiscences captured in our minds. I adore my upbringing in a small yet beautiful Rangi village of Rauthat district. I remember one of my favorite games during my childhood days was playing with fireflies. I used to wonder how the fireflies being insects emitted light like lamps in my house.

An introspective day at Patan

One eventful morning, I was getting ready to go to the hospital for regular my check-up. It wasn’t until I reached the hospital, that I found out that my doctor would be arriving an hour late. I couldn’t go home because I would be late for my work if I did, so I decided to roam around Patan Durbar Square. Although I had been to the place several times before, this day managed to change my perspective entirely. I first went to Krishna Mandir and worshipped the god of love and discipline: Krishna. Then I roamed around a little more and rested at a nearby temple. While sitting at the temple steps, my thoughts managed to break the serenity that I was in. I started thinking about my problems and the things that happened in my life. I always had a hard time letting things go and moving on. My problems seemed to weigh me down, and the worst part was I would often let it.
