Comes a day

Against all this uncertainty, comes a day
which carries the fragrances of yesterday
the sweetness of moments we cherished,
the faded memory of how i waited for you
desperately, longingly and downheartedly


And as the day happens
we would have left nothing to share about
the lips of ours betraying us
the prevailing vacancy scaring us
we can only breathe a long sigh
and let it reflect into the eyes

Against all this uncertainty, comes a day!!!

Professional way of marrying

[(Although this article is especially for girls, but men can find it equally useful if they place Mr. in place of Ms. and vice versa :D)

This is an excerpt from one of the article on quora.com. Reference to full article is given at the end.]

Why do you want to get married?
Why do you want to get married? Because your friends are getting married? Because society has bamboozled you to think you should be married by now?  These reasons have nothing to do with the man you’re marrying, and they bode for an unhappy future, a future where you’ll be only half alive. Without room in this relationship for the essential you, you will be lonely forever. And so will he.
So, forget about the fantasy of marriage and let’s get real.
Love is not enough
Love is only the starting point for a successful marriage. That’s because marriage is nothing like dating. Marriage is like a very mundane small business in which you are co-partners and co-employees. This actually can be really really nice, if you hitch yourself to the right partner. For the company to succeed, you and he must agree on the direction of your company and the values by which it will run. You must believe in each other completely and trust in each other’s good judgment. You must figure out how your company will make money and how to spend it. You must identify what tasks must be done and who will do what. Unlike in any other small business, however, you both must commit to being co-owners and co-employees in this company for the rest of your days on Earth.
Take a headhunting approach to finding Mr. Right
Don’t marry the first guy you date. How could you know it’s love when you have nothing to compare it to? Take a headhunting approach to finding your soul mate. For any given search assignment, my firm reviews hundreds of candidates. Once, to find the CFO of a Fortune 500 company, we spoke with over 1,000 people! If you worked as a headhunter in my firm, and I assigned you a search, and you limited your entire universe of candidates to just two or three, I’d fire you.
Do not slack off on your search for Mr. Right. This is the most important search of your life, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that the only thing at stake is your future.
When you kick off a new search, Step One is defining your ideal candidate. Do not lower your standards, but do make sure your standards are sound. Ask a guy what he’s looking for in a woman and he’ll say two things: good-looking and nice. Ask a woman what she’s looking for in a guy and she’ll say two hundred things:
•  Rich but generous
•   Knows how to treat a woman well
•   Knows how to order a bottle of wine in a restaurant, and what to do when the wine comes to the table
•   Wears Italian suits but is not gay
… and on and on. Ladies, please. If you were my client, I’d make you sort these qualities into two columns: “Must Have” and “Nice to Have.”  Your “Must Have” column should include only those things that are truly important, like  “makes me a better person when I am with him,” “makes my heart sing,” “shares my values,” “wants what I want in life.” and “financially stable.”  Move everything else over to your “Nice to Have” column.
Next step in your search is to identify, interview and evaluate a multitude of candidates. Falling in and out of love with different people is important to helping you better understand what you don’t want in a relationship as well as what you do want. Aren’t you curious about men? This is your only chance in life to have a range of romantic and sexual experiences, so get out there and have some fun.

In Quest of a new pair of shoes

Few years back, I was badly in need of a pair of shoes for myself. I don't have an account of what happened to my old shoe. It was stolen, perhaps. But I never planned of having them any time soon as a pair of slippers was doing all fine to my feet. One day, I was roaming around and fortunately, or say it unfortunately, I happened to pass through a shoe show room.There were hundreds of shoes gazing at me desperately from the show case. Unconsciously, one pair of shoes drew my attention. I could not neglect it and thought of having it a look.
I went inside the showroom and asked the owner for that shoes. I was so amazed at the charm of that shoe, "aesthetic", I pronounced out of nowhere. And regretted almost a second after. I looked at the owner's face to find that he was throwing a proud smile as if he himself designed the shoe. However, I could not remain without quoting the line "Less is more" inside my head. There was nothing much to aid the design of the shoe yet it was looking so nice, to say the least. I began investigating the shoe from every possible directions. I could see the marks of others persons'desire on that shoe.

I asked,"Many customers on it,huh?"

"Yeah, it's a latest trend in market",he responded.

 Soon, I found out that it was too expensive, way above my budget. But my heart was so onto it. I tried it to discover it doesn't fit me either. It was one size smaller than I required. I asked for my size, only to fall more in despair. I thought, I could adjust it and I will get habitual eventually. So I bargained with the owner and owned it at the cost of what was three times my budget.

I had to bend my toes while wearing my new shoe. I tried to adjust with what can never be adjusted. It was so painful that I developed a wound few days after. But the shoe looked more prettier despite the hardships. I kept on wearing it no matter what. I cannot believe on my fondness to that shoe.One day came, when I decided to abandon my shoe. It was still new and charming but I just didn't want any more "toe-bending".

Hence, I again needed new shoe. Despite the need, I was not thinking more about it. I was back on my old slipper one more time. I didn't worry what other said about my old slipper as it was serving one hell of my purpose without "toe-bending". Then came my birthday and with it came a brand new pair of shoe as a birthday gift. I was so delighted as my need was fulfilled. I tried the new shoe and this time it was one size larger than what needed. I cursed my luck but couldn't deny the gift. So I decided to take it.

For some days, I wore the new shoe. I walked slowly and carefully so that my feet won't come out off shoe in the middle of street. I was not getting hurt as before but my speed was definitely slowed down considerably. In meantime, i even got the idea of stuffing some cloth piece inside the shoe to make it tighter. I could have done that and could have clanged with that shoe.But this time, I didn't want to compromise with my comfort.

तिमी

लठ्याएर हराउने, शकुनीको झेल हौ तिमी
दोशी बनाइ आफुभित्र मलाई थुन्ने जेल हौ तिमी

मध्यरातमा शितल फ्याक्न उदाएकी चन्द्रमा
सुन माथि सुगन्धको उदेकलाग्दो मेल हौ तिमी

हिउद को झरी मा मुटु छेड्ने तीर पनि
भावनामा बगाएर आशु दिने भेल हौ तिमी

आज आउछौ, भोली जान्छौ, अस्थिर त्यो तिम्रो चाल
प्रेमदिवशमा जन्मिएकी, कल्पना को खेल हौ तिमी

स्रीजना मै लाग्न मन लाग्यो ,Knock my Door

आज मलाई स्रीजना मै लाग्न मन लाग्यो
होश हराइ सुतेको मलाई जाग्न मन लाग्यो

कल्पना र आशा को हिलाम्मे त्यो दोभान बाट
चोखो मेरो शिर लिइ भाग्न मन लाग्यो

बेहोशी मा कती पौरख गर्न मैले बिराएछु
आँफै सँग तेस्को हिसाब माग्न मन लाग्यो

आज मलाई स्रीजना मै लाग्न मन लाग्यो
होश हराइ सुतेको मलाई जाग्न मन लाग्यो

सुन्दर जीवन, सार्थक बास्ना अरु केही चाहिएन
लक्ष्य भेट्न, स्थिर पर्खाल नाग्न मन लाग्यो

गतिशिल बेग मेरो, उत्तर चढे जस्तो हुँदा
कुरो बिझ्ने झाढी मलाई त्याग्न मन लाग्यो
 
आज मलाई स्रीजना मै लाग्न मन लाग्यो
होश हराइ सुतेको मलाई जाग्न मन लाग्यो

 English version( Imitating it's nepali counterpart, this version may have lost some weight. Do consider :) )

Longing me,creativity knock my door
been a long dead night,ain't sleep no more

Flowing imagination, befriends expectation
Well with my head,'ll go on wild expedition

Running was train, so was I with a nap
Count the trees gone,inner me throws a crap

longing me,creativity knock my door
been a long dead night,ain't sleep no more

Promising life,added fragrance,there is heaven
stands high wall,bothers me not,jump is done

Going me,and my wave accelerates negative
Let me go,I'll go as long as I live

longing me, creativity knock my door
been a long dead night,ain't sleep no more
