To my Bride-To-Be Best Friend



I cannot believe the day is already here! I am ecstatic! You have waited so long for this day; we have waited so long for this day! It’s crazy, how we used to talk so much about this day happening, about finding the one, about how the day would be and now when it finally is, I just wow……it’s just a lot of emotions mixed up! Where do I even start?

I cannot wait to see you in that beautiful bridal attire, you’d look so beautiful. I will take so many pictures of you that my gallery will be full of you, just like it always is. I’ll be one of the happiest on that day, I swear, except your significant other of course. *wink* *wink*. I’ll run around doing errands for you, because it’s your day, you’re the queen, you deserve it! I’ll be the one dancing around in my own stupid way. I’ll be the one helping your family in any way I can, because it’s my family too. And at the end of the day, when you actually leave, I’ll be the one silently crying alone.

Wow, that got real so fast, didn’t it? I am just so happy for you! I really am, there is no denying of that. If there were any way I could tear open my heart and show you just how much love and pride I have for you, and how much you mean to me, I honestly would. Believe me. You two look so good together, and he’s going to make your life so much better. But there is also the bitter truth that I am just going to miss you so so much!

I can see that this step is going to bring so much drastic changes in your life. I know that now, I cannot call you anytime I want. I cannot just barge into your house and lay off in your room. I cannot just drag you out of bed in the early hours of the morning to go riding around the valley. I cannot just pick you up after work in the dusk hours to go paint the town. I cannot just call you up for coffee and spend hours talking and laughing so long, that it’s almost time to close. I cannot just drop by your home and borrow that dress of yours that I’ve always wanted to. Because now, you have another family to take care of, a significant other who needs you, you will have other responsibilities. Of course, we’ll make time for each other, I know we will, I know you will. I expect you to. Hehe. I expect long telephone conversations and meetups every now and then.

I’m sorry if I sound possessive at this point, you know I can be sometimes, when it comes to you. But now, you’re going to have someone to share your life with; your better half! Wow! I might just have to compete with him, to see who loves you more. But this is one competition that I really hope that I lose. I’d love to lose because that means you would win. And he is one lucky guy because he’s got the best girl in the world.

May you get all the happiness, may you both be blessed, and as cliché as it sounds may you get your “and they lived happily ever after!”

I love you so much!

Love,
Upps

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...

The Leaving vs The Left Behind

  I still remember,  I was standing near the entrance looking out at the garden. I was at my best friend’s home and she had gone to get her ever famous chips chilly for me. I was to leave for Bangalore again, in a couple of days. While I waited, I looked out at the garden and this thought came into my head. “Who is it harder for? The one leaving or the ones left behind?” Is it going to be harder for me in a new place readjusting and exploring, or my best friend here, who will me miss me? Is it harder for a person to settle in a completely new place with a completely new lifestyle and have to find new people or for a person to see the same old places, the same old alleys and reminiscent the good times they had with their friend who are not around at the moment? It was a random thought that filled my mind a couple of minutes and then I got over it. Some time after resettling here in Bangalore, my best friend sent me a reel. The reel was about 2 close friends who used to lived ...

Most Asked Question

  Coming back home after one year has been a rollercoaster of emotions for me the past month. Getting to see everyone again, embracing family and friends, working on an office desk again, walking through same old alleys and of course, devouring delicious food that I so dearly missed. I am actually almost through the food list that I have been saving. But the people have been asking me the same question a lot: do you like it here in Nepal or in Bangalore? And the answer has always been the same for me: I like it wherever I am. Kathmandu is home, it is warm, and it is where family is. Bangalore is a different vibe and freedom and excitement. Kathmandu is a different fun and Bangalore is different fun, which is why I live in the moment and enjoy where I am. My mother always tells me: “ La wani tha nya wani ma” in Nepal Bhasa meaning “ the fish must go where the water goes”. The meaning while very basic is also very deep. If the fish does not flow with the water, it cannot survive. I...
