Can a boy and a girl just be friends ?

This is one question which in course of time many people have to face or already have faced... I myself having faced it already and after knowing what the truth is, I would like to shed some light upon it in the exact words of Harry(Billy Crystal):

They can't be friends...unless both of them are involved with other people. Then they can. This is an amendment to the earlier rule. If the two people are in relationships, the pressure of possible involvement is lifted. That doesn't work either. Because what happens then is the person you're involved with can't understand why you need to be friends with the person you're just friends with, like it means something is missing from the relationship and wanted to go outside to get it. Then when you say, 'No, no, no, no, it's not true, nothing is missing from the relationship,' the person you're involved with then accuses you of being secretly attracted to the person you're just friends with, which you probably are...I mean, come on, who the hell are we kidding, let's face it...which brings us back to the earlier rule before the amendment, which is men and women can't be friends.

Kapish!

What do you think of it ?

Its Over.....At last

One sport i follow as much a i can is cricket, so with the end of its world cup have to write something about it.......
This year's cricket world cup was focused on many thing except the cricket itself. So, starting with the basics.....Australia won, AGAIN.I was hoping this time South Africa would take the accolades, but they could only do just so much. Also, was hoping on seeing Australia crumble up against some team at the world cup (nothing against the aussies though) but it seems that too is now 4 years away.
So, the 49 days tournament (are you kidding me?) has finally ended. The death of Bob Woolmer, will however, forever shroud this cup with utter sadness. And, to think about it his death may have come due to some bookies' loss shows how much filth has infiltrated this ones gentlemen game. Critics have slammed the ICC for organizing such a long tournament and that too in such not so good conditions. Although, the indies brought with it some excitement its preparation of the stadium, security and other important details wa overlooked to a greater extent.Also, due to the odd timing of the games telecast here in Nepal wasnt able to enjoy it fully as well.
The whole cup wasnt a waste at all. It did bring some form of refreshing touch. I particularly liked the bit where Herschelle Gibbs hit 6 sixes in 6 balls (the 1st and the money for the feat was donated to charity) but when Malinga of Srilanka nearly destroyed SA chances of winning their match by taking 4 wickets in 4 balls was also worth appreciating. Also, as usual the minnows at this cup made some waves. Also, Glenn McGrath with his impressive wicket haul of 25 wickets (man of the tournament) was also laudable, and his retirement at his peak is also something some cricketer must consider.With Bangladesh and Ireland beating India and Pakistan respectively and securing a place in the quarter 8 wasnt pleasing to many, but i think these two teams are among those that really need a reality check. Ireland also received International One-Day playing nation status, and with their debut they're not at the last but i think just ahead of Zimbabwe, of whom i wont even mention.
This world cup brought many changes, resignations, retirements and very unfortunately even a death. For what will this world cup be remembered is upto the fans to decide. Besides, the Aussies not many people may look back at this cup with some sort of fulfillment.
Next stop for the cup is on our own Asia. Dont know if i will be here to see the cup up close (im not dying, just may be in the states at the time) but till then there will be lots of changes in the tournament as well as the teams and hope the coming tournament brings joys, thrills, excitement and maybe a defeat for the Aussies as well (No hard feelings).Until next time, ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Srilanka

SA bites the dust again...

So, after 4 years and with some hope of regaining the humiliation they had faced at the same stage, South Africa were again successful in losing to Australia in the semi final of the cricket world cup. Although this loss was not marginal and nail biting as before but still a good 7 wicket defeat and that too after only posting a total of 149 was enough to bring quite a bit of shame to them as well as the SA fans like me. I was hoping this time around they could change their luck .
Anyways, still we have Srilanka, our own asian nation standing up against the mighty Aussies........I guess its finally time that the Aussies loose their stranglehold they have in cricket that too in the worldcups........their undefeated spree is just too much for anyone to gobble(except the aussies and their fans of course). So , looking at Srilanka's performance in this world cup, they do have a chance of winning this thing for the second time and knocking (or even budging) the Aussies off of their peak this time around (nothing personal with the Aussies) . Im rootin for the Lankans .......GO LANKANS..........
On a personal note, the wedding at Summit's place was fun overall... everything went well if not as planned to some extent ... as usual its always fun with the guys....hehe..... Hope for a happy and prosperous marriage life for Karishma Didi....

Happy Loktantra Day

I was oblivious to the political situation in Nepal not so long, and i still dont consider myself fully literate in this matter. But nowadays i have made it a point to gain new ideas and thoughts on this matter as much as i can. Today, brought happiness in many people or at least that is what it seemed. Its been already one year since the king handed down all his powers unwillingly to be left as a commoner. There definitely have been changes, some sound positively good while other may not quite make an impact. The ongoing war being over was the cause of the major excitement. The decade long war had caused huge loss not only i the number of people killed but also its role in throwing off of the developing path.

Nepal now has almost freed itself of the obstacle that had been hindering its way in the path of development. The only thing now is that the politicians must deliver on the promise that they have made. Although, in the past that could not be banked upon, its time for them to change their course just like we did and come up with some productive and definitive work that will go along a long way.

There are still places in Nepal where roads are just being made and the first cars are rolling their way. Only some time back the sight of the people celebrating just because they got to see a vehicle in their life for the first time was really heart warming. Nepal with its extremities faces a difficult situation to balance the need of all its people. The city dwellers may be asking for something completely different some people in the rural areas arent even aware of.

This time around, even a pessimistic person like me sees a gleam of hope , a hope that maybe things will be different. This time around the lives that were lost for freedom and development will not be forgotten and we will definitively strive for a better future. The future looks promising lets just hope we are not driven of course once again and we reach our destination swiftly and make this country of ours a much better place to live in. Jai Nepal.

Risk

In life theres always this risk factor that comes into play......the more greater the risk the more sweet the result turns out to be or at least we hope it turns out that way. I dont know the last time i took risk in any way........proposed someone that was way outta my league; nah, dont recall any, went for something against the wishes my family or anyone dear; not that i can recall off..........no wonder sometimes i feel im just living a monotonous cyclic life with no thrills nor any spills , not that i would prefer any. But, anyways, its high time ive risked somethin, its time i tried something different , its time i truly even amaze myself..........dont want my life to be somethin like this............

“Dich sah ich, und die milde Freude
Floß von dem süßen Blick auf mich;
Ganz war mein Herz an deiner Seite
Und jeder Atemzug für dich.”
- Willkommen und Abschied, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

He held out the razor in his hands, his mind was racing with thoughts bombarding; thoughts of hatred, revenge, passion but foremost that of pure salvation, and now the small razor was the only thing in the world that could grant him that wish. Although a meek hearted boy, hard times had given him immense courage that even surpassed his own imagination, courage allowing him to shake off from the nightmare which had haunted him for as long as he remembered being constantly mocked, ridiculed and most of the time looked down upon.

Slowly stretching out his forearm he started creating a fountain that would for sure drown all his fears and evils within. With every life that oozed out from his now gory arm, he began reminiscing about his so-called life; it was as if he was under some drug hallucinating but much more clear and vibrant. His whole life started flashing before him. The trivial pursuit of happiness and contentment that he had longed to achieve had exhausted him so much he just couldn’t find any other way to put his troubles at ease. Slowly he started feeling it; he felt as if he was being purified, he felt much lighter. The burden he carried on his shoulder had been huge, the constant pain and disgrace he bore was slowly etching itself out of him.

For once in his lifetime, he felt he had done something correct। For once what he actually did seem to turn out the way he wanted it to, the ball it seemed had finally started to roll in his court but yet with each passing seconds he bore with him a sense of loneliness. The same solitude that had driven him to all that he had become now etched its way into the final moment when he thought he had everything under control. He felt a loss of thoughts, the mind that had been racing now seemed to have come to a halt, the only thing he sensed and felt was a bright light that slowly crept towards him engulfing everything around him and slowly making its way towards him. He felt cold without any love or emotion whatsoever. It seemed as if he fell out of love with his own life.

Virginia Tech Massacre: RIP!

Some days ago another date that would be blacklisted in the international calendar forever, April 16 2007 the day of the Virginia Tech Massacre. Although, schhol shootings are not an isolated event in the US, but this time it created quite some buzz with the number of lives that was lost and the manner in which the lives were taken. The man who decided to play god, Cho Seung-hui, Korean born legal alien of Virginia, first killed two people and then after writing his reason for his acts in a 8 page long note, went on from one classroom to another just shooting anyone in his path, which left 30 dead and 16 in the hospital wounded.
There have been numerous accounts of school shootings, fatal and non-fatal, all around the world. But, the only country which has at least one fatal shooting each and every year is that of America. Maybe due to the leniency of Gun Control Laws or due to the popular gun culture that is portrayed there, the killings never seem to cease. The Columbine High School Massacre, started the media frenzy over high school shootouts, where 2 boys killed twelve students and a teacher, as well as wounded twenty-four others, before committing suicide themselves. That was the third biggest killings right after the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre and the 1966 University of Texas massacre.
Its always the same case over and over again, people citing their loneliness and the societies impact on them decide to become gun crazed maniacs. But, is that only the case? Media and general public have blamed movies, bands, music, and almost everything as the main cause of these kind of shootings. But whatever may be the case, its times like these, that people come close and help each other out in hard times. Heroes emerge out of the chaos and community further strenghtens in hard times. I hope there will be some silver lining to this tragedy and the people that lost their loved ones will find strength and hope in their loses. May this kind of remorseful tragedy never strike anywhere.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year 2064 to everyone Nepali or not. Am not sure when my Nepali year had started or how it had started but i can sure remember how this year started off and maybe next time i can figure out how quickly and just how my year (nepali year that is) went by.
This year around there were quite a number of people out on the streets and everywhere , it seemed this new year bash outdid most of the gregorian new year which is a nice thing to know. Nepali people recognizing their cultural and national values even if it is for the sake of just partying.
on a personal note, i had a blast as well. cant say everything was planned but still it all worked out fine in the end. I never had had any resolutions in any new year that i know. but, i guess its time for change now. so my new year resolutions for now is to bring about change. Change in the most vaguest of all senses, be it from the smaleest to major steps but positive change, i guess that will help. another resolution must be to blog more. and not just what i did today kind of blog but serious blogs.
So, the beginning of this year brought about some sadness and mostly happiness, now just have to see how the whole year shapes out to be.............

Das Ende von die Reise

So finally everything is back to normal (thats a drag) . The work aside, everything was more fun.
