My World

  So a couple of years ago, I saw this ad on Instagram of Sun Café and Bar featuring their very own pita sandwiches. They looked so good. I convinced Priya didi, my colleague and we went together to Jhamsikhel to try it. It was as good as promised. So I tried my own hand at making these pita sandwiches. They’re just perfect for lunch. Soft, fluffy, little pockets that you can stuff yummies into. But whipping up pockets for lunch is not much labor only if you have a little time. Here is what you will need Flour Wheat flour Sugar Salt Oil Yeast Warm water Paneer (cottage cheese) Curd Onions cut into thin strands Juice of 1 lemon Green chilies Spices of your choice Preparation time: 3 hours Cooking time: 25 mins Instructions: On a bowl of warm water, leave in your yeast to activate for around 10 to 15 minutes On a big bowl add in two cups of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of wheat flour.

  I’ve always been more of an early bird rather than a night owl. There is just something majestic about the early hours of the morning, and it is not just that light is taking over the darkness of the night, although that is beside the point. There is a different energy in the early morning hours and anyone who is used to getting up early would agree with me. It is just beyond words; the fresh air in the morning, fewer people out on the streets, people getting ready for their day, birds chirping and filling the atmosphere with music, the soft sunlight. It makes you feel like you can do anything in the world. Perhaps this is why Robin Sharma has emphasized the significance of the 5AM Club. I had never quite found the perfect song to describe the beauty of the early morning hours. But this song from  Rajamati movie describes it perfectly.   मिरिमिरी ज : लुल/ बिहाँ चुली मिरिमिरी ज : लुल चिला वन खिमिला सुथ : जुल नानि मयजु दने त्यल : आ : ला मिरिमिरी ज ...

  Imagine, if you wanted to pursue veganism, a step further than vegetarianism and you just couldn’t find the products that encouraged being vegan in the Nepali market. It would be quite a bummer, wouldn’t it? How glad would you be to know that vegan chocolates are now available in Nepal? And it’s a Nepali brand. Columbus Chocolates has got your back for vegan chocolates. I was searching the market for vegan chocolate a couple of years ago. Not that I’m vegan, but I just wanted to know if it was available for people who wanted to be in Nepal and for people who could not pursue milk products due to their lactose intolerance. I brought up the lack of vegan products in my other article  Vegan Doughnuts in Nepal and how glad I was to know that vegan doughnuts were being introduced by Tasty Doughnuts. I’m glad to know many vegan options are available in Nepal for people who want to pursue a vegan diet; like vegan butter or vegan milk. But what caught my eye was vegan chocolate by ...

  I’m not proud of it; how the first thing I think about in the morning is putting my lips to yours and chugging in to wash away all my feelings. How did I come about to this? Desperate times call for desperate measures, I guess. Right now, I hold on to a glass of  whiskey as I write this. It’s so smooth, it slips through my throat. Like I said, I’m not proud of it. But it is what I am. It’s not like I haven’t tried. But the only thing I can think of is finishing this and moving on to that sweet bottle of Bailey’s that lies in the cupboard. And it’s not even 11 in the morning. People have been reaching out to me. They tell me I have to move on from you; that I cannot ruin my life like this. It’s not like that, I tell them. I tell them that you have been helping me out. You know how desperate I am, for you, for your sweet bitter aftermath. You know how you are the only one that is holding me together in all of this. They just don’t understand how you are the only one I want...
