  I still remember the first time I saw you. You seemed like the guy next door; any guy I could pass by without a second glance, in fact. But, of course, you were more than that. Had I known how much of an impact you were to make on me, I would’ve paid more attention to you and your details. You were anything but the ordinary that I first thought you were.  I cannot tell you how many times I’ve stolen glances at you without you knowing. I know that might come off as creepy. But these moments were just mine, you know? I found solace in these moments because these were the only moments that I look at you for real. I noticed the curve of your smile, the tip of your nose, the shine in your eyes, the strength in your arms. How I wished I could admire you from closer, but I never found the courage.  Every time you talked to me about the most mundane things; making small talk, I was screaming from the inside; “ I like you! Can’t you see it?” I wanted to shake your shoulders and ...

S’mores, a popular household snack and a popular camping snack is a favorite among many. And it’s really simple to make, in fact it’s so easy I am almost too embarrassed to write this down but hey let’s go with this. S'mores is usually made with marshmallows roasted in fire. The point is they require minimum ingredients and there is nothing much to do. But we do not have a campfire every now and then, do we? Neither do we have graham crackers here that are the biscuit said to go with s’mores. But we have digestive biscuits which pair amazingly as well. Here is what we will need: A bag of marshmallows (we only need a couple) A bar of milk/dark chocolate A packet of digestive biscuits Instructions: Put out how many s’mores you’re going to make and lay the digestive biscuits accordingly.  If it is dairy milk you are using (I used that one), take a section of 4 pieces. For every s’more you want to make, take two digestive biscuits for the top and the bottom.  For the c...

I have always been someone who has been fond of book places; whether it’s a bookstore or a library. There is just something amusing about turning the pages of a book, taking in the whiff of the books and  seeing all those books that you’ve been meaning to read.  My sister and I found delight in exploring the corners of the Awon library. As a middle school student, the library was a heavenly place because you didn’t really have much money to buy books every now and then. So I grabbed every book I could. Our hearts broke when Awon library moved away. And for some years, I gave up hope of finding a library close to me that I could find solace in. Until now, that is. Books Inn, a mini library that has recently opened in Patan caught my interest on Instagram. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were located only a few minutes from my residence. I jumped at the opportunity to find the place. And I had no trouble finding the place at all. Located right on the way to the Asho...
