My unsuccessfully successful love story

Image
I am in love with my best friend but the fear of losing her compels me not to confess. Human heart is the funniest organs among all. It is within you but acts on its own. It is like an autonomous part of our body. It functions on it's own. It feels on it's own. It feels things that you don't want to feel. The only silver lining to this is that our heart can't control any other organs of our body. If it could, then I would have been doomed. She along with her family moved to a house just three blocks from mine. I was 7 years old then and met her for the first time when my parents invited her family over for dinner as a way of welcoming the new neighbors. Our parents really hit it off from their first meeting itself, so it was mandatory for her and me to be friends. Her family would come to ours or we would go to theirs. The frequency for this was at least once a day. Forced to be together, she and I started talking a bit more, sharing a bit more, being close a ...

An Average Person : An Average Story ...

This is a story of a person. The person can be you, me or anyone. This person is a normal person, a day to day person like you and me. This person has led a normal life, nothing special. This person has had his highs and lows but it's just average high and lows that every person has. This person is socially awkward like most of us, cheerful and outgoing among his group of close friends but silent to the rest of the world. This person is full of emotions but to the rest of the world just another emotionless person.This person loves and has been loved, loves family and friends ; and is loved back by all of them.  Along the way, this person has even loved one or two other special person but never had enough courage to express.

This person is once again in a dilemma , again is puzzled, again is clueless. But today this person thinks o...

The Zero Rupee Date!!

Image
It was a regular Saturday, my no bath game was going strong. It had already been a week and was on my way to make a new personal record. "Tuuunggg" my mobile made a capricious sound. When I checked, it was a Facebook message from HER. It read "Hi. Are you free today?". I am lost for words when it comes to her. What can I possibly say about her. She can't be described with words. She is the epitome of beauty, elegance, goodness, smartness ... . She is this special blend of all the good things in the world. All these love and beauty songs make sense when you think about her while listening to them. " Afreen Afreen " . I had known her from my childhood and had this huge crush on her from the time I meet her. We went to the same school but never had I had enough courage to go and make conversation with her. All the conversations that we had were initiated by her and usually ended with her saying "Thanks for the notebook, I will return it to you i...

We are into the extra time of the 2018 world cup final. The underdogs, Nepal, whose qualification itself was a miracle have surprised everyone and made it all the way to the final. Nepal has done good keeping the scoreline nil-nil till the end of regular time against the mighty Brazil. Two penalty saves from the Nepali Goalkeeper captain Bhandari has been the highlight of the game so far. ... There's only a few minutes left for the end of the extra time and as it seems the match is heading towards penalty shootout. It's 120th minute on the clock and Nepal has won a corner. This will probably be the last chance before the final whistle. OHH what's it happening, the Nepali goalkeeper Bhandari is joining the attack for the cornor. The corner kick is taken and Bhandari Scores with a beautiful header. Unbelievable !!!! Bhandari the goalkeeping sensation of Nepal has probably won the world cup for Nepal. The final whistle blows. And Nepal has done it, against all odds. ...

Trying to Balance Everything

There's an old saying in Nepal that roughly translates to "If you have your two feet in two boats at the same time, then you are bound to fall in the river". Now let's take it a step forward what if you alone try to balance ten boats at the same time? That's ridiculous, you will fail for sure. But yet there are people who try to do that. Let's take me for example . I want it all, I want to have all. I don't  want to be a subordinate to anyone in anything. I want to be a king, no, GOD of everything. I want to be the best one there is out there in everything that I like. I want to be the best son to his parents in the history of all sons, I want to be the best brother, the best friend for all my friends, the best player in all the games I play, the best teacher, the best lover if there is any love out there, the best musician, the best dancer, ... Wow, the list just keeps going. If I am to write all the things that I want to be best at,...

Lack of Data : Hindrance to Development of Artificial Intelligence in Nepal

Image
Sophia is a citizen of Saudi Arabia. She is the first ever robot to receive a full citizenship of a Nation. She is a ROBOT. She is what all the futuristic Si-Fi movies show as a robot. She can create sixty-two different facial expressions and can interact with people as other people do. Sophia was made by Hanson Robotics, a Hong Kong-based engineering and robotics company. Sophia is just an example to illustrate the progress the world has made in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Apple Launched Siri a long time ago and ever since that people have started talking with there own phone. While the world is making such progress in the field of Artificial Intelligence, why isn't anyone from our country Nepal making any notable progress in the field of Artificial Intelligence? A simple answer to this question would be the lack of Data that we face in our country. Artificial Intelligence is the intelligence displayed by the machines. The dated history of AI goes back to 1956 AD...

Trying to be an Entrepreneur !!!

The Oxford Dictionary defines an Entrepreneur  as " A person who sets up a business or businesses, taking on financial risks in the hope of profit." but for me the meaning of an Entrepreneur has changed with time. In the various stages of time the word Entrepreneur has meant a different thing for me. Till my high school, an Entrepreneur was as simple as the meaning of it on the dictionary, a person who starts a business , creates employment opportunity and makes a huge profit by exploiting his or her employees. When I joined university for my under graduate in computer engineering, i got exposed to the word "Entrepreneur" more often then I was used to till my high school. We were exposed to the real world entrepreneurs, some were successful and established while others were on their way of being successful. Regardless of which category they fell in, they all were highly motivated and felt like they had potential to be successful at whatever endeavor they take. ...
