En Route Heart



I came across a video on YouTube recently. It is called “Top 10 most difficult roads in the world”. Needless to say, it had my curiosity at its peak. As I got halfway across the video, a random thought crossed my mind. You know what’s the most difficult road in the world that they should include, but is not mentioned here? En route someone’s heart.

Have you ever tried really hard to impress someone? If you have, you’ll get the idea in a second. When you are trying an en route to someone’s heart, it can indeed be one of the most difficult roads. You could try endless ways or things for that. You’d want to know everything they like. You’d try to talk about everything they are interested in. You’d want to know anything about them. You’d do little things for them. You’d go out of your way to make yourself available for them. And still after all that, when they still don’t notice you; you’re more than likely to ask yourself: why? It is frustrating, heart wrenching, painful at times even. And most of all, it takes a lot of patience.

They say that the way to man’s heart is his stomach. If you’ve tried that, by golly, you must have tried a lot of recipes. And I guess the saying is true to some extent. I mean, good food is the way to anyone’s heart, isn’t it, over dinner? But that could only work in short term. I hate to say this, but you might just be trying in vain. Why break your back on the en route to a heart that is not meant for you?

So back to the question, why isn’t en route heart considered a difficult road? The answer is in the question itself. En route someone’s heart isn’t considered a difficult road because it is the easiest road in the world. There are no shortcuts to someone’s heart but there are no obstacles either. This is because, you will never have to try extremely hard to impress someone or make yourself seen to those who you matter to. That route will be such a colorful experience that you will hardly realize when you made it. The en route to that heart will be the most joyful ride for you both.

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 ...
