I may not remember today’s date i.e. 2072/10/22, but the incidents that i have gone through will always be there in my memory. It’s kinda a day where i can’t even explain what kind of day it was.( or rather I don’t know how am I supposed to explain this day.) Should I call it a fruitful day (definitely it was) or worst.
My day was scheduled as; i. firstly have my breakfast at 8:30 then I would go for scooty servicing. ii. Second priority was to go to the colleges to drop proposal letter for our upcoming grand workshop of WeBE as the targeted colleges was nearby. iii. And then go to sudiksha’s home to get petrol as my scooty tank was almost empty, till 12:30. iv. Then go with Arusha and Sneha (my sweet little sisters from HVPP) to have delicious food at NPP fast food as we had planned a day before, till 1:30. v. Then go to HVPP head office mitrapark and practice dance for the flash mob at 2:00 pm. vi. At 5:00 pm, off from HVPP for tuition.
That was my plan but my day went like something else. We have had breakfast at 8:30 am. Then I asked Sabita (My roommate ‘popular by name of “Pudki” in our hostel’ (as she is too short in height)) if she could come with me. She agreed to come and then we both got ready and made our way to have the scooter serviced. We reached Nakhu for servicing at 9:15 am. We asked mechanics how long it will take to complete the job. They said it will be completed within 2.5 hrs. We were stocked there for a while. Then sabita asked if we could go to clinic to have tetanus injection as she had accidently cut her hand while getting off from the bus when she was returning from college. Then we went looking for the clinic all around. Finally, we found one at Bagdol chowk. We went upstairs. She went to have vaccine while I was busy with an important call. Then we were done with TT inj, blood group checkup and reporting of all the job. It took half an hour there.
I was in need of money so I went to look for Global Bank’s ATM. At Nakhu there was Global Bank but no ATM. I did not bring checkbook. That’s why I had to look for ATM. Then we decided to go to Damkal chowk as there is the one. The DAV college of Management, where we were supposed to give the proposal letter was right there on the way. So, we decided to go DAV at first and then Dhamkal. So, we went to DAV College. There was a lady at reception. I talked to her explaining about our upcoming workshop, What HVPP is all about, what’s the motive of our workshops and all. Sabita also added some points, that lady sincerely listened it all. As the coordinator was out for the educational tour, she asked us to be in contact till he wold be back. We were so happy to have positive response. So we made our way to our next destination; way to Damkal.
Unfortunately, the machine at Damkal was not functioning. That’s why we had to look for other option. And another option was kupandol. Then we took tempo to reach there and ofcourse to save our time as well. And there came another problem; this time my card got rejected. uff!!! I waited for my turn there, to have my card rejected even after so many trial. That was a complete bad luck. 😦 then i went to branch office to know what’d gone wrong with my Card. I had to wait in a queue there as well. Finally the wait was over and I asked the lady at reception to check my card. After checking, she said nothing was wrong. She asked me to try it again. I had to stand in queue again. And this time it worked. “Oh!!! How the hell did it work!!!” Anyways I had my work done so I was not that disappointed and I didn’t even bother to check time either. Then I called a sister “Samiksha Pandit” (my darling sis) to meet at HVPP, it’d been long ever since we met.
We had now completed the work which was not even in my planned list. Then we made our way to next college i.e Asian College of Management. This is an interesting part. We went to reception to drop our proposal. We met a gentleman named “Ramesh Khadka”, chairman of Asian College. We started our talk as we did in DAV College. And after going through conversation we got to know that he has been in this field of spirituality and meditation since many years. And he was glad to know about HVPP and the workshop Well Being and Empowerment. He further advised us to meet Principal sir as at the end he would be the one who to make final decision. So he led us to the principal sir’s office. We asked him if we could come in. His name was Chetan Pokhrel. He asked us to explain about the project, its motive and all. We gave our best. Later on he asked if the project was based on religious belief (Definitely not). If so, he would not allow us to have intro talk and all as he had faced lots of problems before. Later on he explained us that he has been in this field since 15 years. There were few books on his desks about spirituality as well. He further added “Man is an architect of his own”, we had lot more to learn about our self. We had to have control over our breathing. He further asked about much of legends, which we were unknown about. He further talked about the ages where there was strong will power of human cause of which they could telepathy. It’s all cause of the meditation. He talked about Ravan’s Knowledge (The most creative person in the world). But these days the concept keeps on vanishing and the technologies have trapped the world.
He recommended us a book to read, “Auto biography of Yogi” by Yogananda. It was recommended to him by someone he admired the most. He further added, it’s the book which has changed steve jobs life (founder of Apple). He always carried this book and also said, what he was till the date was cause of the same. It was said that Steve jobs handed over the book to someone during his last stage of the life. Our principal sir was also done with the book and he was so disturbed with that one, he was confused if he understood or not. I found it more interesting. He told us where we could get one. He congratulated us for the jobs we are doing and promised us to help if he can. He suggested to have one guru in life whom u can follow or from whom u learn and make your own life. Life is something worth living. 🙂
This time the date of our workshop and his sports days overlapped so it seemed little difficult to manage. Still, he asked to be in touch and inform him about the upcoming sessions as well. It was such a fruitful day for both of us to have such a knowledge session. He had a meeting to attend so he had to leave for the same. We waved off each other and made our way out of the college.
After getting out we realized it was 12:30. We were feeling so hungry. Then we went to workshop again, I was not feeling good to hear that there were still some work to be done with my scooty. So I left it there for certain time. Still i didn’t get a call, neither from Arusha nor from Sneha. As I was hungry and didn’t pre inform in hostel, we decided to go to hostel n then come back for further work. We reached hostel by almost 1:00 pm. We took our lunch there and then I got a call from girls asking to come to NPP fast food but I denied them as I had already taken my lunch at hostel. As soon as I was done with my meal, I explained our hostel warden about my plans and asked for permission to go to HVPP for practice. She allowed me to go and then I ran for the further incomplete tasks.
It was already 1:45, I called Sneha to inform that I would get late for the practice and may not be able to come as well but would try my best. I went to Nakhu workshop everything was done but unfortunately, one of the mechanics had taken scooter’s key with him. I had to wait again. I waited for half an hour. After getting key and making payment, I made my way to sudiksha’s house to get some petrol. It had been long time since our last meeting. I wanted to have a nice talk but couldn’t. We had quick talk then we went upstairs to fill petrol in a bottle from gallon. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen in a simple way. We tried to pump that bottle but yet petrol didn’t flow. I must say after a little struggle we were successful in filling the bottle with that petrol. After that we went down to feed my scooty. Then i got a call from bibek dai asking me to come hvpp for practice. I told him I will be there. After that I went to HVPP. It was about 3:20. On my way I started to think “ It’s too late, maybe I can’t be there in time, It will not be worthy to reach there at all.” I reached Ekantakuna, i checked time it was 3:30, It takes 30 mins for me to reach HVPP from there. It will be 4:00 pm by then. I called Bibek dai again to inform him that i would not be able to come there. Then he said ok and hung up the phone. I was not feeling good as I had promised Samikshya. I was so confused what to do. Then I decided to move ahead. And after reaching Maitighar Mandala I again stopped and started to think. “I will be there at 4:00 pm, I have to be back at 5:00 from there for tuition so it’s not gonna be worthy.”
Then i again decided to go back to hostel, at the same time I got a call from my sis Namita (Cousin). She was at thapathali with her friend. We decided to go together. And we came back to the hostel. After that the rest of my day went well. But I was worried about Samikshya. I had promised her but couldn’t make it. I had bought Dairy milk for her but unfortunately couldn’t give it.
Yeah!!! It was so sweet of her to understand all my situation. Still I felt so bad for the day.
Yes, I accept the fact that sometimes it’s hard to manage time no matter how hard you try. The most important thing is to be cool and make things clear. I am lucky to have such a wonderful and lovable people around me. Thanks to all beautiful soul. J
