Day 11. A letter to your best friend

Dear best-friend,

  Getting up in the bed beside yours for two years was one of the best things in my life. All the crazy fun memories we made -  running around trying to find water to brush our teeth, (thanks to water shortage in our school), smuggling food from the back gates and dhobi dai, sneaking cell phones, making prank calls to the crush and crying our hearts out. ( okay I cried my heart out- you are not really the crying kind)... but all the memories are precious.

I wish we could go back to being each other's person. What happened in the fall of 2009 changed a lot of things between us. We did come back together but we are not the same. Yes, we are still best of friends , sharing our secrets and life stories, but the distance has grown between us and it's not only physical like we pretend it to be. We have grown a bit apart or may be we have just grown up.

I miss you. I miss us.

Love,
Me

However ridiculous things happen in this planet. Everyday comes with a new problem and little sprinkles of joy possibly..

Please tell me your planet is better than this?  I would like to have a place to run off to when I cannot tolerate life here.....

Day 8. A letter to a giant space robot

Dear Giant Space Robot,

Please stay away from me.

Thanks,
Me

Day 7. A letter to a historical event

Royal Massacre,

(June 1st, 2001)

People know you over the world as The Nepalese royal massacre. You took 10 Royals, including the King, the Queen, their 2 sons and a daughter. You were and still are a mystery. People who wanted to believe anything, believed that the Prince killed his parents. May be he did. I for one, never believed it and will never believe it.  

You changed everything Nepal was. It was not a dreamland before- there were thousands even millions of problems;  but it was the only Hindu Monarchial Kingdom - a place worth living at least in some levels. Now it is not. Now it is a secular country. We lost the Monarchy, and unlike people expected it has only been worse. 

Yesterday ma told me there is Nepal bandh(strike) again. The country has seen so many strikes in the last few years, that my room mate (a foreigner) once asked me if we Nepalese do any work- i don't blame her. What with the number of strikes and festivities, there seems to be no working day left anyway.

I am not a very patriotic person, but I wish you did not happen. I wish ...

then things might have been different. 

slightly less worse than it is now? Slightly... I can only hope..

me.

Day 6. A HEARTFELT letter to some food

Dear Bagel,

For the past couple of years, I have started almost every day with you.  Getting up and walking to cosmic cup to get a medium coffee (hazelnut flavor without sugar)  has become a part of my daily routine. Everyday it is an excuse to see you again,.. as i wrap my fingers around the warm coffee , the girl behind the counter toasts you warm and applies generous amounts of spread of my choice on both sides of you... and I wait for your delightful taste to touch my tongue......
and you ,
you taste of love.

As a college student you have been a reasonable ($2.66 at cosmic) and appealing breakfast.
You with plain cream cheese, garlic hummus, jalapeno hummus, sun dried tomatoes, veggie cream cheese.... Yummy, and filling....

I love you with all my heart, and unlike people said I will, I have not gotten over you yet.. And I don't think I will in near future ! you and me - it's a fixed morning date, for at least one more year of college...

Much love,
Me
