Article : Being Real
As of September 2016
Each moment I see millions of dreams, the dream I know I can't catch. Every day we live a different life, life-based on how the people we meet.
Every one of us has our own individual lives and dreams—we usually dream of being real, alive, and best. And it is only us who can accomplish those dreams; no one else is going to do it for us.
I feel I am someone who comfortably makes people around me happy, and I genuinely feel more satisfied when I am the reason for someone else’s smile. Also, I believe in leaving everything behind for the person next to you / talking to you.
And if someone is happy—happiness brings trust amongst friends and colleagues; love within the family; and happiness introduces us with new faces.
After I finished my high school, I feel that I have lived awesomely. I happened to make efforts for people around me—I made a few smiles. I remember when I joined my college in 2015, and I rarely had many go-to friends. Then, I built my friend circle around my school friends like Swastike Karki (whom I call big sister), Sanju Silwal, Kushal Katuwal, and Asmita Karki. I also was fortunate to find new friends like Alisha Basnet, Sunaina Khadka, Sarjeev Adhikari, and Muskan Ghimire.

I also was fortunate to find new friends like Alisha Basnet, Sunaina Khadka, Sarjeev Adhikari, and Muskan Ghimire.
During college, I did a few things for the sake of my friend’s happiness. I remember planning a surprise birthday for Alisha, and it was undoubtedly the first time when I did something special for any friend. I also have fresh in my memories the day when I cooked for Sarjeev’s birthday; it happened to be ‘Holi,’ and that day was sure-shot awesome.
Then, there was a day, when I, along with other friends, went shopping to surprise gift it to Swastika Karki. The next day after shopping, again, I, along with my friends, woke up early and went to give her an early morning surprise birthday wish.
A month later was another memorable day—my Bandu's (Kushal) birthday—we (Kushal, Milan, Yogesh, Sunny, and me) had a long day trek (Rauta Visit) planned. So, we woke up at 3 am, walked through the forest, and at one point in time, we got lost in the middle of the woods with no food. That, surely, was a nightmare but today, when I remember that day, it was so fun.
Similarly, it is always refreshing talking to Arpana Tripti—topper—who gets time for me from her tight study schedule. She talks about her book crush and many more interesting things.
Besides making friends, I made a stronger bond of brother and sister with my childhood friends, Aljina Raut and Namuna Basnet, by putting up ‘Bhai-Tika.’ Also, I found a sister in Asmita—she tied ‘rakhi’ with me.
It also feels good when I hide my love in wrappers and showcase myself more like a strict elder brother for my brother, Barun Katuwal. Likewise, I feel blessed and responsible at the same time when my mom shares her thoughts with me; and when my dad holds so much trust with me and my decisions.
Moreover, life is hard. But it gets simpler when we find friends in our parents and family in friends. And I feel like home whenever I meet Muskan and her family. Her grandmother is so sweet, and mom so well-spoken. The day when we (me and friends) gathered at her home for her birthday was so great too. Yes, making that gift for her birthday was tough, but, again, I am always up and ready if someone gets a smile because of my efforts.
But do you know? All this tiredness, responsibility, bond, and everything in-between bring a real me. I am not what I am without the people around me. And each day, I try to be real, and I even know I cannot catch my millions of dreams, but, definitely, one day, I will make them come true and capture in the album of my life.
