You’re turning 25 this May. The age is neither big nor small. You are not at the juncture to recount your life stories; your stories won’t inspire anyone, and they don’t have to anyway.

He was probably in his mid-twenties, a man with quiet strength, but one night wasn’t enough to determine whether he was truly kind.

The first thing I hear in the morning is an annoying shrill on my phone. Then something more unpleasant—my yawns and curses—takes over as I straighten up, rubbing my eyes.

Pokhara's current weather is nearly perfect, with winter fast approaching. In just a month, the city will see a massive influx of tourists from around the world. However, even before winter's arrival, the city was already buzzing last week, largely due to the loyal cadres of the RSP (Rastriya Swatantra Party).
