Lessons of Life

When we are young, our thoughts are innocent. We think life is always that easy and always that pretty. But as we grow older, we slowly come to know that life does not always go our way. We realize that it's a tough world out there with people and situations always trying to pull us down. And while we learn that we should stand strong no matter what, we eventually also come to that point whereby it aches to keep standing still. And when we can't control that pain, we fall. But sooner or later, we again rise. Cause while we'r in between, we yet again realize that life goes on.

Sunny Sunday :D

I guess i am a true Cancerian after all. Oh how much i love to stay at home! :) 

Lying down on my parent's bed, masticating on rich hazelnut chocolates as i write this...

As always the past few days had been so very hectic. And No, i don't even work full time but don't know how i get so caught up here and there. Anyways, college picnic yesterday where i danced my big ass off. LoL. Thanks to Mr. Vodka. ;) And then, straight to work after that. I swear i was so worn off with all that hip shaking, that uncomfortable seat on the bus, and gastric too. But i had to go for it was my first show there. Here i am beaming as i tell you that i have found another job. :D Well, its actually the same thing. I mean, Radio Jockeying. But hey, i am now working at 2 different radio stations. How cool is that !

This one's called RVL, Revolution Radio. - www.rvlradio.com - The first internet radio of Nepal, if i'm right. And I've got 2 shows here. The one we started last night is called 'Girls on Top' where we (me and my co-host Chari) talk about all girly stuffs from Manicures to Mothering, Guys to Gazillions, Ointments to Orgasms and Bangles to Brazilians. Ladies, come gossip with us every Saturdays from 9-11pm. Well, you 'guys' can listen too, but at your very own risk. ;) And i will be starting the other show from this Wednesday 7-9am. It will but off course be about L.O.V.E - Love. Typical me i know !

So that's pretty much the only new thing that's been happening right now. Well, actually there is another thing as well. Something which has played much bigger a part than this new job in making me blush blush. But let me better wait for the perfect time to share that with you all. All i know is that Life's good ATM. :)

A smile from the heart :)

Laughing at Myself

Pathetic .. Stupid .. Lonely ..

Yeah that's how i'm feeling tonight ..

Forgive me so, i am a human too ..

I need affection just like you do ..

Morning Blues...

It is a Tuesday morning. And i'm supposed to feel very good on this particular day of the week. But sigh, i'm not. :( I just hate it when i'm not happy on those days when i have to do my shows. It's tough. Really tough to go on air with a frowning soul. To act as if you have nothing else going on in your mind. To fake a fake smile. 

My make-up for today.

And the thing is that i don't even know what's been eating me up. Guy problem? Nah! Then what? Work problem? Family problem? All of these yet none of these. Maybe or maybe not. Totally pissed off for unknown reasons. Sorry, it's not even PMS. Nothing's working. Songs are not helping. Not even a conversation with a girlfriend. Strangely, not even food !

But yes, this is not the first time. I'v done this a countless number of times and so will i today as well. I will enter the studio, sit in front of the microphone, clear my throat, take a deep breath, curve my lips, let the intro music play, and i will start. I will talk and talk and talk until i'm all fine. I will pretend until i feel good. Cause believe it or not, that's what i've always learnt to do. To pretend until it feels real.

I know it's quite disappointing to hear all this from someone who is always talking about positive things in life. But you've got to understand that i have my days as well. Days when trying to be optimistic seems totally out of the question. Dark days.

So, today for a change, can you help me feel better instead? I don't know how. Maybe a nice word or two, maybe a big smile? Anything to help me live through the day. Trust me, I've got a long long day ahead. Can't wait to finish my work, get back home and just sleep it off.  -_-

Sweet Escape

Take me to a far away land..
Place me inside your arms..
Make me forget everything..

Let me close my eyes and just breathe..

Whoever you are...

Wedding Bells ??

And suddenly all my (same aged) girlfriends are getting married one by one. Just came to know that one more tied the knot a week ago. This is certainly not the first time i heard this kinda news but maybe 'hers' was so unexpected that it left me dumbstruck. And so here i am asking myself; Are they moving too fast? Or is it that i am moving slow?

To remind you, i am 21 soon to be 22 years old. And at this age in our country, it's normal, or better perceived, the right age for a girl to marry. As soon as a girl bids 'Adieu' to her teen days, parents start to think and actually worry about finding a suitable life partner for her. So does that mean my time has come too?

Well, i don't think so. Why? Cause i am so so soo not ready to settle down. But the irony here is that i was ready a couple of years back instead. I was in madly in love with an already independent man and i just wasn't getting through with my A-Level examinations. So marriage with him was like the only hope and dream i had. Sounds terribly pathetic i know. Yeah, i was that typical Nepali girl. But off course, we never made that move. As heartbroken as i was that time, looking back now, i'm very much thankful to him for disagreeing. :)

The year 2011 arrived very dramatically, as in a good way. We went our own separate ways and as he left, i would like to assume that he took away with him the black clouds that was floating above my head. I finally passed my papers (big big relief) and the next thing i knew, i was in a new classroom with my 'then' stranger classmates. And it was not only my education, but also my career that took a kick start. I started working full time as a marketing executive for a classified paper. And slowly came the Radio thingy as well. All at once, Life 'unexpectedly' got busy. Early morning classes from 7 and straight to work after that, i always reached home only after the sun went down.

At this point, you must be thinking why the hell am i telling you my love/life story when it's actually my views on marriage that i'm supposed to share about. Well, simply because it is related. What i'm trying to say is that the moment i re-started my life, something was changing inside of me; My thoughts. Something was growing inside of me; Independence !

I was no more the naive girl i was. My aim in Life was not anymore only about finding the perfect guy, being in love and having a happy family with him. I mean i would obviously still want that, but not any soon. Cause as for now, i am happy with what Life has been presenting me with. I am not a studious person but i want to complete my studies for 2 important reasons. One- To make my parents (esp my dad) happy, satisfied and proud of me. Only i know how much he wants to see me graduate. I'm too lazy but i will. After all, i can do at least that much for him since he has done literally everything for me. And Two- Common, if i don't have a certificate in my file, whichever company will hire me?

So the thing is, i want to work. I believe i still have a lot of things to do regarding my countless number of interests. To name a few important ones, work in the print media (preferably a magazine company), open up a plus-size clothing store for women in Kathmandu, have a small bakery shop (cute little cupcakes), and hopefully, one day in the future, launch a magazine to proudly call my own. :)

And here, you might say, all that can also be done after marriage. True that. I know all those dreams does not come easy, and for sure, not so soon. But till then, i can at least get skillfully prepared for it. I can work on my writing/editing/creative skills, learn to bake, gather more information about the clothing business, etc. All that before getting married, please!

Cause marriage, i believe comes with a hell lot of responsibilities. It is a huge step that is dangerous enough to interfere and change all your goals. Cause once we are tied, it is not only ours but also about our better half's feelings and dreams too. It scares me to even imagine coping with my studies and work while being a wife/mother/daughter-in-law at the same time. And another reason why i want to stand on my own feet before standing together with another pair of feet is because no one can be trusted. I don't want to be that woman who cries helplessly for help if in any case the husband leaves or dies. Touch-Wood !

So thus, i am definitely not ready to get married. Hopefully not until i reach 25. And i say 'hopefully' because Life is uncertain. Everything has already been planned by Him, if you know who i mean. Who knows, maybe my marriage has already been written for this year? No one knows, not even me myself. And yeah, my soul-mate blissfully entering my life before i expect him to might also make me change my mind. Like i said, who knows?

To all those who asks me that typical question upon knowing the fact that both my sisters are married, i don't think you will get to hear the wedding bells pretty soon. ;)

That Brave Man !

Love takes courage. And to love me, it takes even much more courage. 
Cause i'm clingy, super-sensitive, attention seeking, have mood swings every now and then;

And also cause i love too much. So much that it scares men away.

But then, i'm glad all those 'cowards' ran away from me.
Cause they definitely didn't deserve all that love.

And now, i am more than happy to wait for that one man who will dare to love me the pathetic way i am. 

That one man who will understand the fact that i cling on because i don't want to lose him.
That one man who will think twice before saying something hurtful to me. 
That one man who will give me so much of attention that i won't even have to seek for it.

That one man who will tolerate my moods as it comes.
And that one man who will appreciate my love instead of taking it for granted.

That Brave Man !

Till my next post, Eat-Pray-Love !

Celebrating Womanhood!

And as i had expected you to expect, here i am with my ecstatic thoughts on Women's Day. :)

But before that, i would like to share something i'd posted on my Facebook notes exactly a year back.

JAY NAARI !!

by Pretty Limbu on Tuesday, March 8, 2011 at 12:50am 

Do bear with me, my girls… for i don’t know what i’m about to write… and i don’t even have a rough sketch in my mind… all i know is that i want to write cause i’m happy as it’s women’s day... yippee !! :) i’d been waiting excitedly all week for this day, March 8th... but it’s not like what you’re thinking… i mean i’ve got no special plans for today… i’m just happy… hehe… though it’s super-duper unfair that we get only 1 and ‘they’ get 364,, but then who cares ?? neither do they celebrate nor appreciate even a single day… we at least do ;) 

I just counted… it's 19… the number of “March 8th” that has gone by since i was born... and sadly, i never did anything on those days... which i'm sure you also didn't :p… well, no worries... it's fine, let's just excuse ourselves... cause we were girls back then and now, a woman (waaaahh) :D ... but as said that it's never too late, i'm glad it struck my mind this time... i realized we shouldn't just let this special day pass by simply wishing each other; Happy Women's Day !! 

So, why don't we do something different this year and every year from now on… anything but at least something... and please, get that boring ideas about organizing rally’s and campaigns’ off your mind... i wasn't thinking about that... but frankly speaking, i also don't know what to do today... hahaha... wait let me think for a while... uhhhmmmmm...

After ?? minutes and several gulps of h2O, i'v managed to plant a few ideas in my mind... thank god !! 

Well, let’s meet up with our girlfriends/sisters/mother/daughters/aunties/granny... (anyone but a female... it's mandatory) and do some wild stuffs together... like, wink at a random guy on the street, go to clothing stores and try as many but come out buying nothing, ordering our hatest food in the restaurant, sneak into a public gents washroom and scare them, dance for a few seconds in the middle of a busy road, go for a new look (mushroom cut; blue dyed hair maybe :P)… blah blah blah…

But naaah, it’s not like we 'HAVE' to be crazy crazy... we can also get together and do normal stuffs like gossiping and backbiting (about only men today please), dressing up - making up - clicking photos, cooking and gobbling up (momo :p), prank calls and irritate the person on the other line… well, just all those things that we girls normally do together on any other given day… ;)

And off course, there may be some of you who falls in my boat… i mean no money, no time and no permission… :( but so what ?? we can at least do this… (others who’ve already had the fun mentioned up there can also do… lol) we can take a “me” moment and think… appreciate the blessed fact that we were born a girl... that we have the heart to love, care and sacrifice… that we have the strength to carry a baby inside us and give it a life… that we have the power to transform a house into a home… that we have the chance to prove ourselves as a strong woman after all those cruel discrimination and under-estimation… and also appreciate the fact that we can “effortlessly” look beautiful everyday… :)

Let’s show some respect and gratitude to this wonderfully gifted “Women’s Day” !!

Let’s make memories that will make us smile in the future !!
Let’s be happy and proud… that we are WOMEN !! 

:D


It is hard to believe that a year has already gone by. I still remember sitting on my desk at work, pretending to do what was assigned but instead writing this down. Hehe. Well, this year, my emotions are pretty much the same, but only that on a much matured note. Yes, i claim to have mellowed.

I have decided to dedicate this day 08/03/2012, to each and every 'Mother' out there. To all those strong women who have gone through all the unanticipated and the unbearable just to give life to a soul. One word for you ladies, Respect !

I know, and off course you also know that i am not a mother myself. So why this? Being completely honest, Motherhood is something which has never failed to enchant me every single time i start to ponder about it. At first, while growing up, it was the babies. But now it's more about the mothers who have ruled a part of my heart. It all started 4 years back, with my own elder sister giving birth to the first child in our family. Cause only from then, was i able to actually see what being a mother looked like. I will assuredly tell you that a mother looks like, smells like, and feels like Love. Selfless Love. Pure Love.

Don't ask me how much love i have for my two adorable nieces. For i might not be able to answer that in words. The thing that amazes me is that, on certain days when i feel i cannot survive, they are the only ones who gracefully enter my thoughts and gently give me Hope. They whisper to me that Life is Beautiful. And then it hits me real hard. If me, being just an aunt loves them to this extent, then how just much love does their own mother actually feel for them? 

Love :')
My sister and her daughters.

There is a very strong reason as to why i wanted to honor this Women's Day to them Mothers. Let me ask you something. You have many a times come across a person praising another person for their hard work in either their studies or work, haven't you? But think, have you ever seen or heard anyone appreciating a woman for being a mother? I fear not. Cause no one quite sees their hard work, their commitment and their devotion. The practical way i see it, being a mother means having a full time job. Having to work all day and all night for 24 straight hours. But off course without a salary. For heaven's sake, they take full responsibility of another human being, and in many cases, more than just one. The child is nothing without the mother and similarly the mother is everything to her child. Either way, the mother deserves the bow.

But yet the mother keeps mum. She gets tired, she falls down and on given days, she even feels like she can't take it anymore. But then she gets up again. She rises for her child. Cause she truly knows that her child needs her more than anyone else in this world. And that is why i call a mother's love, Selfless love. To put someone else's comfort before her own. Oh that is Love !

And on this special day, I salute all the women in this world. Women who are already mothers, women who are expectant mothers, women who have yet to become mothers and also to those women who (biologically) cannot be mothers. Cause i believe that being born a female, we were blessed. We are gifted with the ability to grant a life and gifted with the power to love altruistically. I couldn't have been more proud.

As i come the the last part of this note, i would like to remember the woman i respect the most. The woman who gave me my heartbeat, the woman who made me a woman. My Mother ! Love you mom. :)

Happy Women's Day 2012 !

Till my next post, Eat-Pray-Love !

:D

I am trying...

I know it has been ages since i last updated. I got busy with my new job.
Oh! By the way, did i mention that i got called in by another radio station? :D

Yeah it has been a month since i started with my new shows at my new workplace, R24 100.6 MHz. And guess what, i am very happy here. Well, it was actually a few of my girlfriends who told me that i looked more happier here than i looked before at my previous one. And i then realized they saw me right. True they say that everything happens for a good reason. :) Anyways if you would like to hear me blabber on air, here is my program schedule.

• Global Countdown - Sundays - 7pm
• Kick-Start - Mondays - 10am
• Raise To Fame - Mondays - 7pm
• Stupid Cupid - Tuesdays - 7pm
• From Me To You - Thursdays - 3pm

It is off course not that i got so engrossed at work that i totally forgot to 'write'. I had tried my hands a week ago. I started an article, but i somehow could not finish it. It is still left half cooked in the pot. Forgive me people, for i am just a beginner. I will but for sure complete that one day. Fingers crossed!

My current read had a page where it was quoted, 'Passion literally means suffering. And it is often the case that the greater the suffering, the deeper the passion.' While that was referred in terms of Love, it hit me hard too in terms of my passion for writing. I am suffering a lot. I always make it a point to read and write at least a few lines every single day. But these days, the more i try to write, the more i fail. But yet again, the more i fail, the more i want to write. Sigh.

Anyways, i hope to get back soon with a new post. 

Women's Day is near. Expect from this young woman. ;)

Till my next post, Eat-Pray-Love !
