The Art of Doing Nothing


Yeah, no this is not a Kitkat ad. That would be the last thing on my mind right now. But I could very well use a kitkat, of course. We all could. You know why? Because we are all having a break.  Hence, the picture.  Genius, eh?  No,  just me?  Alright.
Regardless, it is true. Life is giving us a break, isn’t it? I mean how many times have you rolled out of bed wishing you could stay home? How many times have you wished you had more time for yourself? How many times have you wished you could give more time to your family? How many times have you wished for a day off to get to the things around yourself? Well, guess what: the universe has finally listened to you. You are getting that time off. You are getting that break. Of course, it is not in the way that we intended. But let’s look at the positive side.
Right now, by staying home, you could save the world. This is probably every introvert’s dream. You can stay home and do nothing and relax because that’s how you’re going to save the world. Who would have thought of that, right? Think of all that consistent busi ness all day long, now you could finally get some time off. And you can feel good about it : not hurrying up, not chiding yourself, not getting anxious of ‘missing out’. Let your body join in this celebration of doing nothing.
Or you could use this time for everything else, except you know going out because that is a no no..
What can you during this break?
·         Work from home, if that is possible in your field

·         Read that book that you’ve been wanting for oh so long!

·         Try some recipes!                   

·         Meditation and yoga: heal yourself and make your immunity stronger at this time of need

·         Watch those movies and TV shows that you’ve been keeping away for a rainy day check

·         Family Board games because why not?

·         Video call with your friends

·         Home date with your partner ! It’s the best because you don’t even need to dress up

·         Clean up around the house

·         Sew and mend up stuff that you’ve always procrastinated
This being said, don’t forget to take precautions and be safe.

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...
