To The Love of My Life

  The initial idea of living together after marriage terrified me, to be honest. The thought of you seeing you so closely, the thought of sharing all my things with you. It’s a whole other level, that level of intimacy. For someone who has never shared a room with someone else, it was intimidating. But, you made it so easy. It never felt like I was somewhere else. I fit right in, like a missing puzzle piece. And I saw you, all of you I mean. I knew you before, of course. But now, I’ve seen all of you: you at your vulnerability, when you’re upset, when you’re angry, how you smell in the morning, what you need when you’re sick when you’re sleep deprived when you don’t have enough space on your side of the bed, when the thunder rumbles outside when you absolutely have to go the washroom when you are about to head out when you need alone time; all of it. And you know what, Mr. Bajracharya? I think I love you even more, now. I see this new side of you: one who is not embarrassed t...

Funky Fries at Frenzie Fries

    Funky can mean a lot of things, but in this case, funky means different and unique styles and flavors of fries. At Frenzy fries, Kwalkhu, you are in for a party in your mouth. I was intrigued when Grisha brought them to work one day. I mean there is only so much you can do with fries. Yes, potato is like a vegetable that just about fits in everywhere. I mean, I read somewhere recently that if potato had a Facebook page, it would be the mutual friend on everyone’s profile and it gave me a good laugh. Regardless, there is only so much you can do when it is fried. Finger chips, potato wedges, we love them all. But I was curious as to see how they would bring their A-game on with French fries. To start with, yes, these are your average frozen fries, all standard size. So it is not the fries that they are original with, but the sauces and the flavors. Frenzie fries have a handful of flavors that you must absolutely try. They are delicious. From butter garlic, ranch, sour cream,...

The Modern Buhari

    She wears a wristwatch to stay up to date and her wedding ring gleams on her finger. Bangles may or may not jingle on her arm. Her bag is full of things that she will need throughout the day. With a smile on her face, she is ready to face the day ahead and she knows what she wants. The female gender is taught to be confident, self–accepting, and independent. And such is the same when women step into their new life after marriage. There is no denying that her life is drastically changed. Waking up to a new bedroom, taking a few minutes to soak it all in during the first few days, adjusting to a new lifestyle, and adjusting to new ways at her new home, she has gone from a daughter to a daughter–in–law. The modern Buhari is all about balancing work life and housework. She manages to do double duties every single day. She will put her family ahead of everything else. I’m sure you’ve met her. The modern Buhari is educated and not afraid to speak her opinion. Elegant and dec...
