The Art of Appeciation






Have you ever wondered, how often we appreciate the people around us for the effort they make; for the things they do; for the care they give? Do we say a few words to let them know that we appreciate them; let alone show or do little gestures of appreciation?

Would it not be better if our bosses appreciated our work a little more; besides just slapping in the money in your account every month? Would it not be better if our teachers appreciated our efforts in class a little more, besides the fact that they gave you good marks? Would it not feel better if our children realized all that we do for them and why we are being doubtful and protective instead of arguing with us? Would it not feel better if our wives or husbands appreciated the effort and time we commit towards them instead of just taking us for granted? Would it not be better if our friends understand the time and effort we give to keep the relation strong instead of just thinking the other person should contact first? Sounds great right? If we would like being appreciated, should we not appreciate other people too?

A few words of encouragement might do a lot more than we think; a thank you hug means more than we can anticipate; even a small gesture such as remembering something about them screams that you actually care. Make someone feel that they are noticed, their actions are noticed, and their hard work is noticed. It only takes a little bit of our time but can make someone’s day. Not only words and actions, simply make them know that we value and understand what they do for us and that they are important.

Praise someone for what they do; make them blush; pamper them; spoil them sometimes but appreciate them nonetheless.

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

Best Places for Breakfast in Kathmandu

The only reason I love sleep, more than the reason that, well, it’s sleep, is that it’s like time travelling to breakfast.  Yeah, no kidding. Breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Whoever named that meal breakfast, was straightforward. I don’t know who named lunch and dinner, but the breakfast guy? He cut in straight to the point, didn’t he? Because breakfast is literally breaking your 8-10 hours fast. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper, they say. So, you don’t really want to compromise on breakfast now, do you? Now, this is no backlashing, but in many restaurants around town, the most breakfast things they have on the menu are omelet and toast. Yeah, I was disappointed too. There’s this restaurant in Mangal Bazar, where my best friend and I met up early morning. We decided to have breakfast. The restaurant overlooks the courtyard so it’s a beautiful place to talk over a cup of coffee or tea. She and I ordered a cheese ...
