I am less of a daughter, If I don't do the chores. I am less of a girl, If I don't do the makeup.

The rays of sun are bright But there is no shadows without you The blowing wind is pervasive

I have been deeply distressed, moody, and restless for the past few months. My life, which once was the hive of activity, with hum of vibrant people stirring up the spirits of soft youth, is now soundless and still, under the brooding clouds of sullen gloom.

Don't fall for me. Because I read more and more and I will read you. Because I will make you my writing piece.

Oh Mother, Tell me a story of a life pre-destined with death but still has the bravest breath, Tell me a story of sweet memories forever imprinted down the vista of years,

All the people around a couple seem to have their own ideas as to what’s best for them.

Remember me when the clouds are gurgling, And when the stars are twinkling too, Remember me when all hopes are out, When happiness flows right into you.

Is there something you’ve always wanted to do, but are a little scared of? Yeah, me too! Wandering around Lakeside in Pokhara, I was fascinated by the paragliders flying just above the beautiful Fewa Lake. I gazed at them dancing and swinging in the air and thought that I did not have courage to do it. I was scared of heights and I was scared of flying and yet, there I was, feeling a strong urge to experience this extreme adventure sport.

Sweetie! Your love for me,  In the first place, was hotter than scalding fire,  Cooler than freezing snow,
