Happy Mothers Day
“God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers” was the proverb I learnt when I was at my secondary school level. I clearly remember it till today. There may be thousands and hundreds of proverb to define mother however, from the child’s pure heart word mom itself is the greatest thought. Purest is the mom’s love, her care and her thoughts for her child. This feeling is incomparable. She is my best friend, first teacher and first love. It is said “A man’s work is from sun to sun, but a mother’s work is never done”. Today Our Country Nepal is celebrating Mother’s day. Lots of sweet shop, lots of fruit shop must be busy. Every child from far and near is visiting their mom if they are away from home. Being in foreign land I miss all those sweet memories of celebration of mom’s day. Though for taking care and loving her we don’t need any day however, marking one day as mother’s day we want to give her the respect she truly deserves. I just want to say I love you mom for bringing me up to this wonderful world, to experience and explore all ups and downs and giving me courage to fight back all the hurdles and for teaching me to love.
Wish you all Happy Mothers Day.

Happy New Year 2069
Every single day is a special day if you think so however, the New Year day has its own meaning. Looking back to year 2068 we may have went through hard phases, done numerous mistakes and may have been foolish. However, now we must think wonderful times are ahead. Moreover, we may have beautiful memories to cherish all our life, wonderful feelings to express and live. Now its New Year It reminds me of poem by William Arthur Ward
“Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!”Wish you all Wonderful Happy New Year 2069
&
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow… Einstein
