10th July, 2013 Pt-1

Hello folks!!! Today, I got something interesting to share with you all. After my admission in the LIC, I was relieved for some time because, you know, some stress free environment from finding a good college. And I forgot to mention that the college pre-informed all the students about the orientation programme about Liverpool Int’l College. The orientation programme was held on 10th July, 2013 at Kamaladi Hall, Kathmandu at sharp 1:00 pm. The college had distributed “gate-pass” to all the students. I also went to the college to collect the gate-pass with my friends. And, to let you know, you were not allowed to enter inside the hall without the gate-pass. So, we collected the gate-pass and waited anxiously for the orientation day.

As we waited anxiously, the orientation day finally arrived. Some of our friends went to the programme ahead of us, so two of my friends went there along with me. We three were seated at the left-hand side upper corner of the low deck, whereas our other friends were at the upper deck waiting for us. We went to the upper deck. The programme had just started when we reached there. As we reached there, the host of the programme was introducing all the teachers who were professors and doctors in their own faculty. I got to know that many professors and doctors were there in our college. Prof. Dr. P.P. Wagley, Prof. Dr. Badri Bishal Bhattarai, Dr. Purusottam Bhandari, Dr. Rajiv Chhetri, etc. are some of the names. We thought we were really late for the programme, but found ourselves incorrect when the host asked everyone to stand up for National Song. We just felt kind of relived when we found out that we were not late. After the National Song, we were asked to make ourselves comfortable. Then something really caught our attention. We found out that the SLC Board Topper, Ashim Ghimire also was studying at the same college. With this, he was asked to speak a few words. We got to know that he was from Jhapa and he had passed his SLC from there. He shared some few words and he was kindly asked to make himself comfortable. Our school friend, Oshin Raymajhi had taken part in the Miss SLC Nepal contest and had won the contest and was studying at the same college. She too was asked to speak some few words. And so she did, and she was also asked to take her seat. Then, the principal of the college gave a short speech about the code of conduct that should be followed by every student strictly. Then, again, the different faculty members were introduced to the students and parents present there. After that, there were some dances performed by our seniors. It was really good. After watching some few dances me along with my friends left the hall and headed home.

At first, we were feeling kind of bore. But after there were the dances, we were pumped up for a bit. But we left the hall after few dances. We went home and after a while all of our school friends were gathered at a certain place for some event that was coming up. We still had something interesting for the day. I mean, we weren’t just gonna let the day end so easily, were we?? So, all of our school friends met each other after a long time, we were all happy to each other. But what was the event which was so important and special that made all of our school friends to gather at once at a certain place??!! Stay tuned to find out the answer, folks…!!!

I Dream!

Secured future is not that I dream of.   To travel across the land, To meet and interact, To explore and see, See through the many eyes. To capture a story and Send it knocking at the doors, So that folks can have something to read with a morning cup of tea. To meet the star-crossed lover, Experience a timeless love, And recreate a new Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. To picture a portrait of aging time, As people retell the name and fame. Ends a heroic tale of the teller in a slumber of life. In my sound slumber, I dream........ -Tong Man

Recipe For A Sound Slumber??

Image
Get up early. And I mean, really early. You feel cold? Go and take a shower. Not hot, but cold shower. [You can't? Why can't you? A simple lad can get up early and attend his part-time job, so why can't you?] Stretch your body. And stretch like it's gonna tear up. 'Cause you've got a long day. No, don't make breakfast. Dress up. And change your hairstyle into more of an exotic. Carry a bag with all the supplies you need. Carry your camera. Put on an extra jacket if it gets a little too cold. Put on your boot and get out into the streets. Get yourself some milk and sandwich on the way.(Make that two sandwich and milk) Talk with the lad who sells you milk and sandwich early in the morning. Know his story. Take his picture, smile and thank him. Get on a bus and eat on the way. Talk with strangers on the bus. Interact. Capture their stories and photos. Get out of the valley and into the wild. Though not faraway deep in the wild, go into the wild.[You...

Young and Dumb!?!

“‘ We were once young and dumb.’ It has become such a cliché that people tend to visualize them synonymous to each other. Sure, back in the days, I was young and dumb, but, that trait led me to various adventures and experiences. I have travelled across the land, narrow and wide, climbed my way up to some ferocious mountains, sailed across the dark deep sea, even jumped into it. I have travelled to many foreign lands, witnessing first-hand their indigenous culture and tradition, and spoke many tongues. I watched their devotion and practices in the name of their God. I have walked the busy streets into the dark alleys and into the knocking shop. I have climbed up the ferocious dragon’s back 1 . I have rested my feet in a cave sitting beside a fire. I survived and came out of a thundering rainy season, a desert hot summer.  I have gone to the suburb seeking, begging for food and water. I have travelled far and wide exchanging currencies and wealth. I have...
