Expensive Hesitation

I was standing outside the door and about to knock when I heard my mother crying inside. I knocked twice wishing everything would be fine inside.

Dada came to the door. I did not have the courage to go into the living room, so I went to my room. But Mamu and Baba were there and Dada joined them. I saw my cigarettes in front of them.

Baba asked angrily, "What is this?"

I was speechless. Mamu started crying. Baba asked again,"What is this, son?" I remained silent.

Then Dada kicked me and shouted,"Answer the question, idiot."

I had no answer. Baba asked again. I decided to beg for forgiveness but Dada started beating me. I kicked him too.

In no time we were fighting. Baba tried to stop us but we didn't. Then i saw Baba lying on the floor. He had suffered a heart attack.

At the hospital the doctor came and asked, "Are you his children? Have you done Bratamandha?"

It was then I questioned myself why i had hesitated to say 'no' when my friends asked me to smoke.

मानब जातिको एकालाप !

हे प्रकृती, म मान्छे हु, मान्छे ! मलाई तर्साउने तिम्रो औकत नै के छ र ? तिम्रो आफ्ठ्यारा स्वोरुपलाई सुन्दर बनएको म, तिमीसँग किन डरउने ? तिमीले त हजारबार धम्कयौ मलाई, तर्सायौ; अब तिम्रो आर्को नाटकले बिचल्ली हुन्छु जस्तो कसरी लाग्यो तिमीलाई ? मेरो त बच्नुको केवल एक आधारछ, त्यस्लाई पनि तहसनहस बनायौ तिमीले | तिम्रो षड्यन्त्रको मुल्य तिमीले नै तिर्नुपर्ने छ | केही दिन पछी म फेरी उठ्नेछु, मेरो जिव्नुको आधर 'पैसा' लाई फेरी पनि बिउझाउने छु, बल्झाउने छु | अनि हेर्दै जाउ, यो संसार तिम्रो हिसाब्ले होईन, मेरो हिसाबले चल्नेछ | मेरा नबिन सिर्जनले तिम्रो एकाधिकारलाई तोड्ने छ, म जित्ने छु अनि प्रकृती तिमी हार्नेछौ | #COVID19

A key takeaway for Nepali traders in NEPSE.

Before sharing some of the rules that I shaped for myself on trading and investing in the stock market, I would like to highlight key principles that a good trader or investor needs to embed in his/her actions. Similarly, these principles are highly valuable to our life and are useful to master our habits and other disciples. 1. Learn and grow! In whatever sector you work, to become a successful and satisfied person you must be willing to learn and grow in the particular field.

Do not stay at home.

If you still haven’t realized the power of nature, then do not stay at home. If you still flippant climate change, then do not stay at home. If you cannot contribute to your own level for a strong 'nature-human' relationship, then do not stay at home. And still, if you cannot provide but constantly look for what the world can offer you, then why should you stay at home? If you are staying at home this time, then make sure, next time when you go outside, you don’t have come back and hide again in these concrete walls. Protect, Reflect and Strengthen, the mother earth!
