It’s not easy to meet like-minded people. We live around humans but still, we relate with very few. Some become our friends for life and others our well-wishers.

The blood-stained throne
I was in Kathmandu last December and this time visited the Narayanhiti Palace. I had heard about the Nepalese royal massacre. My friend gave some insights that resulted in me picking the book.

Sometimes I feel like I have all-time in the world. It is just people around me are running. Is something wrong with me? Why am I not running and acting busy all the time? Does it make me less aspirational? Are they all have everything sorted that they are running for their true north? Daily …
Land Of The Seven Rivers

It starts with Harappa culture, talking about the Aryans, and goes from Mahabharata to all old Kingdoms and the Mughals. I could imagine walking as reading …
