Can Love Happen Twice?


I have to be honest, the question popped up in my head when I recently read the book by Ravinder Singh. Long story short, the book is not so good, but the question is legit, isn’t it? We’ve long since heard the dialogue in Bollywood movies that you only fall in love once in life only for them to be hypocrites and to show a happy ending. But we still stand with the question: Can love happen twice?

Well, according to the book: yes, love can happen twice. Love will hit you when you least expect it to, taking you in the most subtle way without you even realizing when you fell past all the hints. And to give up on love after getting your heartbroken, while seems like the thing to do, may not always work out that way. I’d like to believe that someone is always meant for someone and there is somebody out there for all of us. It’s written in the stars. If things did not work out for you the first time and you happen to find someone attractive again, this might be the person for you and the previous person might not have been. Or, and this is even more beautiful to think, maybe it was never love in the first place with the other person and the person you like, now, will show you how love is.

And then, I’ve read that you fall in love three times in life. Once with a person where you’re not even sure if it is love, just aware of the jittery feeling you get and you do not know why. Second with the person where you will get to know the hurt in love. And the third with the person you least expected and where you will find everything balanced and perfect. People can fall in love again, just not in the same way. So, to answer the question: you will never fall in love in the same way twice.

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 ...
