E very journey starts with a motto. By looking at nervous me in one of the restaurants in Kathmandu, Chef said “Marna hi he to kahi par bhi meraga, a chat yah ape neeche girke yaha pe bhi marega, Lukla me flight land karte time bhi marega. Mene kabhi EBC pe gaya nahi lekin suna he experience bahut mast rehta karke. Agar itna maut se darega to kabhi naya kuch try hi nahi karega aur naya experience bhi nahi milega.” (You can die anywhere. If this ceiling falls down, you will die right now, if the flight doesn’t land in Lukla then also you would die. I have never been to EBC or Lukla before, but, I heard from many the great experiences they had. If you are scared of death so much, then you will never try anything new.) Tenzing-Hillary (Lukla) Airport- 527 m runway 15 seater planes to and from Kathmandu to Lukla  Motivation often helps. My problem was different – altitude and lack of practice. I had no prior trekking experience. I was nervous about 12 long day trek and altitude. I had ...

Education institutes are seeing an increasing number of dropouts, mental health issues and suicides year by year. It is a serious issue. Yesterday, one more student ended his life by jumping off from the hostel in Hyderabad. In a suicide note, he has written:  "Life rather seems depressing I have no clue how my future is going to be.

The number of such incidents are scaringly high and are increasing. One cannot blame the victim's mental capability alone for such acts. Nothing happens without any reason. Parents, friends, relatives and fast-moving science and technology are putting huge pressure on students. On top of it, teachers are also failing miserably to train students in the right direction. There is no one to show a proper direction. Everyone is busy waiting for that grand succes...

Remember Hanuman? Our childhood hero from Ramayan. Hanuman helped Lord Rama to win over Ravana to bring maa Seeta home. In India, we worship Hanuman with the same respect and love as we do to Lord Rama. Don't run away, wait. I am not narrating the story of Ramayana here. I've something different in today's menu. Look at Hanuman, where has he positioned himself? In the feat of Rama, Lakshmana and Seeta. Hanuman is one of the greatest warrior, leader of the monkies. However, Hanuman always said, "he's just a servant of Lord Rama." We often read/hear this quote especially from our teachers, parents and peers " ' If you don't  build  your dream someone  will hire you to help build theirs ." H aving a dream and working hard to achieve it, is a great thing but in reality, many can't dream. Admitting this fact, then what to do? Does it imply that people who didn't pursue their dreams are unsuccessful? or are they incapable of doing...
