Nepal Revisited

"Home is where the heart is." Everyone probably knows this idiom and can relate to it.

The UK, especially London, is a very multicultural place with many people from different backgrounds living together. And of course, I am also one of those minorities. 

I am not sure if I have mentioned this before but I am originally from Nepal. 

Anyway, that's that. New thing is I treated myself with a new lens and external hard drive, expensive purchase I might add. So, I was transferring all my data and I came across these photos from 2012 when I visited Nepal. Thought I might share some of photos from then.

The first two photos are of my mum's house; in the village where I was born. 

These two photos below are of my dad's birth place. In my 25 years, I have been there only once (in 2012).  Due to lack of proper roads no transportation has been arranged here yet so the only viable option is the no. 11 bus; aka legs (a little joke there) but it is certainly no joke if you think about the struggle the native people there have to face on a daily basis. The nearest town centre is half a day's walk. 

It took us about 7 to 8 hours to get to this place from the town centre (countless uphills and downhills, climbing mountains and crossing rivers). Probably lost few Kgs off my body as well but it was definitely one of the epic adventures I've had in my life. 

Starting our journey at the crack of dawn:

This kid of probably around 7-8 years of age was carrying 30 Kgs of rice to his house in the terrain.

 

Welcome to the Year 2014

Hey Hey Hey!

First and foremost, Happy New Year to you all! It's finally 2014, Wo! Woo! 

Secondly, my utmost apology to all you beautiful people for my incompetency on managing this blog. I suppose I cannot feed any excuse for this so truthfully and honestly, I would like to point out that winter's cold breeze has affected my ability to be active  By the time I open my eyes, it's already dark and working in the dark is not my forte. I think a lot of people can relate to my laziness during winter time. Yes, hibernating, that's what it's called.

Anyway that's that, let's talk about ClicknRoll (I presume everyone knows what I mean here) and 2014. As soon as a new year strikes, everyone has a list of resolutions prepared. “I will make a change in my life, I will eat healthy, I will go for a world tour” and so on. Well, I am also a human being with the same psychology so I have made a little resolution for myself as well. But from the looks of how I'm handling the blog, I am not certain now if I would be able to complete it... nonetheless, I will try to cross off all the things from my yearly bucket list and subsequently, share it with you through this blog.

I give my best of luck and Super Saiyan power to all of you to achieve your goals. 

Finally, I have a few pictures below for you to enjoy. 

Cheers ;)

Camping!!! Woop! Woop!

Summer has been really nice this year, maybe too much heat, but can’t complain! Well, we only get a few weeks of sunshine a year and we ought to enjoy as much as possible. Personally, I prefer staying home and doing nothing (probably everyone prefers that) but that maybe cause of the cold weather. However this year has been a bit different as our very shy ball of fire (sun) has finally decided to stay longer than usual and probably emitting a bit too much of the scorching heat isn’t to everyone's liking. I have to say, I like summer and all the people on the streets trying to get a glimpse of this so called sun. And every year, there always has to be those people who look like lobsters (too much tanned), those who finally get to show off their abs and legs bla bla bla but these little things make summer more exciting.

Anyway, aside from the boring lines above, I went camping this year with two of my friends. My first ever camping!! Seriously!! It was the first in my life (so eager to go back) and it was aweeee…..some!! The place is called Llyn Gwynant campsite (http://www.gwynant.com/), although it was like 4 hours’ drive but it was worth it. Even driving in Wales is exciting, with all those bendy roads, going up and downhill, indulging my eyes with breath-taking scenery, no pollution, no buildings etc etc.. just open space. I would definitely recommend that place. I tried my best to take a good picture but as I am just an amateur in photography and still in learning phase, I hope some of these pictures are to your liking.
