Friends are like melons. Shall I tell you why? To find a good one, you must a hundred try. -Claude Mermet
“Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.”
“Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.”
A real friend never gets in your way - unless you happen to be on the way down.
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity- Kahlil Gibran
What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies. – Aristotle
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.-- Albert Camus
"The best mirror is an old friend."
--George Herbert
Friendship doubles our joy and divides our grief.-- Swedish proverb
In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
-Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)

Best friends are the ones that when you're having a bad day, you go to them and after they say something totally stupid...you forget all about your problems!

Shrawan: a very special month

Shrawan is the fourth month of the Nepali calendar. It is a holy month related to Lord Shiva. At the same time it is more important for me, after all its my birthday........ Yes, the most important day when I came to earth....... And I am so thankful to my parents, friends and people around me...... I have no words to thank them.......

When I try to remember those days when I was in school - giving candies to class mates and teachers, having a nice meal with my family...... dad who brings yummy food and mum who worships for my good health and prosperity...... ohh its so lovely! But I remember one particular birthday when I invited all my classmates for dinner to celebrate....however, I forgot to inform my parents. I actually thought that only one or two would turn up...so imagine the surprise of me and my parents when we were inundated by teenagers!

Now this year’s birthday, my wife gave me a surprise with lot of gifts at the stroke of midnight. And then in the morning I got a surprise call from my parents to wish me a happy birthday...... as well as from friends...... That’s so amazing and I do really feel it’s a special day for me....... and these are all special people who made it special...... My birthday is not finished yet as I will have to go home this coming Saturday so that I can make my nephew happy with lots of cake and chocolate...... little version of Bipin ha haaaaaa oh thank you so much to all.

I have attached the best gift from my wife too (picture of me and her, Gill)

Bhanubhakta Acharya - known as the First Poet of Nepal (1814–1868)

Bhanubhakta Acharya was born in Chundi Ramgha in the district of Tanahu and was educated at home by his grandfather.
Bhanubhakta is considered the first poet writing in the Nepali language. Usually poets wrote in Sanskrit, which was not as accessible to many people. His most famous work was translating the Ramayana, (the great Hindu epic) from Sanskrit to Nepali

He wrote many poems but sad thing is most of his works are lost. The majority of the poems are written in a simple, lucid, style that is easy to understand. The most popular work is Ramayan, but some other titles are: Ayodhyakanda, Kiskindha Kanda, Sunder Kanda, Badhusikchha.
