Today, being the ultimate Solution Day, 2025 — I can’t believe you’re stepping into your third decade on this planet! 🦖

This day isn’t just special because it’s your birthday — it’s the day that reminds me how endlessly lucky I am to have you in my life,

– to have you as my guiding light,

– to have you as my reliable compass — keeping me in check, encouraging me, pushing me, believing in me, and fighting the fight with me,

– to have you as my mentor — inspiring me to go beyond and giving everything to bring out the best in me,

– to have you as my friend — offering me a shoulder to lean on, a hand to hold, a laugh when life gets heavy, and unwavering companionship through every high and low,

– to have you as my shield — someone I can truly trust my life with, my protector, my safe haven, the one who stands beside me through storms and sunshine alike, holding us both steady.

– to have you as my home to return to!

Without any doubt,

Solution Day — will always be close to my heart, until my very last breath.

Solution Day — is my reminder of how lucky I am, not just to love you, not just to cherish and create moments with you, but to witness your light in the world… in my world! It’s the day I celebrate you, the love of my life, the reason why every ordinary day feels extraordinary.

Lastly, just in case no one has told you lately:

I am also so freaking proud of you:

– for the life you have created,

– for the battles you have been braving,

– for the unsung battles you have been winning,

– for the grace you bring into this world.

– for the light you are!

Many, many Happy returns of the day again, Love.

Namaste.

P.S. for a quick flashback: here are all the birthday post I’ve written over the years we have been in relationship.

Is, Was

Published September 18, 2025 By 8ijay.shrestha

More is lost by indecision than wrong decision
Marcus Tullius Cicero

^{Chezile – Beanie}

Robin is an ordinary 88 years old man just sitting on a park — all by himself.

When asked about how he feels at his age. He says, “Well… it feels less than 88… I don’t feel 88. It sort of comes up upon me.”

He further adds, “The older you get, the q.u.i.c.k.e.r it goes. and you have to make the most of it.”

There I remembered my Grand Ma.

When asked about if he has any regrets in his life.

He goes,”I suppose, I do,… yes. Not marrying the right girl!”

He digs deeper confronting he had the opportunity but he was too slow. He stresses, “Be Decisive and Go For It if you feel it’s right.”

There I remembered my Wife.

As naked as it can be, there will be one day when my ‘Is’ will become ‘Was’

When, stuff I stress about today will mean Nothing!

When, people or things that mean world to me today will be a distant memory.

Live immediately! One step at a time.

Namaste.

Speak Less

Published May 22, 2025 By 8ijay.shrestha

The more you use your voice without care and caution, the more substance you spend at the expense of your integrity and self-worth.

^{The Hanging Tree’ James Newton Howard ft. Jennifer Lawrence}

Speak Less.

Actions speak.

Silence serves you.

You — Grind.

Namaste.

Dream

Published December 26, 2024 By Bijay Shrestha

Sometimes I wonder, why can’t dream be the purpose, … a journey?
Musicpervs

^{500 miles – Joan Baez}

It would be a dream come true.

An ordinary random day I get to say,” We have been happily married for more than 45 years…”

That’s the dream!

Namaste.

Choose love

Published December 20, 2024 By Bijay Shrestha

Choose love, everyday, every-time!

Musicpervs

^{EKDEV LIMBU – Jhim Jhimaune Aankha}

Care to read and you will relate.

Care not, you will relate.

… about choosing love over the alternative!

The secret to lasting love lies in gratitude.
When you have someone special, resist the urge to look elsewhere.
The grass isn’t greener—it’s simply a different shade of the same.

Cherish what you have, for love isn’t about flawless perfection.
It’s about choosing each other, through the chaos,
through the challenges, time and time again.

In a world where quitting comes so easily,
a single argument or a rough day often leads to goodbye.
But the most beautiful love stories are born from resilience.

They are written by those who stay when it’s tough,
who confront their doubts,
and who remind themselves daily how fortunate they are to share their lives.

Love isn’t built on ease; it flourishes through commitment.
Be the story that endures—not because it was effortless,
but because you held on to the magic that made it worth it.

Choose love, always.

Namaste.

Happy Solution Day

Published December 5, 2024 By 8ijay.shrestha

Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.
Seneca, Letters to Lucilius

^{Prateek Kuhad – I’m Someone New}

Back in 2019, I saved her phone number under the name “Solution” from the very first time I got it.

Beside anonymity’s sake I chose ‘Solution’ in particular, because she literally use to have solution for everything.

She is reliable!

From the very first weeks of knowing her, I could tell that astuteness is a fundamental part of her nature.

From how I’ve see her, Problem Solving has most-definitely been her forte.

For this same reason, the name ‘Solution’ has stayed on my phone for 5 years now.

Her texts,.. the calls still rings with ‘Solution’.

It won’t change.

Reminds me of the rich story we share together.

Reminds me of a trustworthy partner.

Reminds me of our humble beginning.

Reminds me of who I’m warmly married to (figuratively).

Her flaws. Her virtues.

Her fury. Her tranquility.

Happy Solution Day!

Namaste.

December 5

Published December 5, 2024 By Bijay Shrestha

Love is the bridge between you and everything.
~ ^Rumi

^{JVKE – her}

She’s my Anandamide.

She has always been the exception.

Funny. Flawed.

Class Feminine. Ferocious.

Humble. Reliable.

Curious. Caring.

Giving and Genuine.

Independent. Astute — she is a dancing tree around the fall.

A whistle in the wind.

Oasis of the desert.

Tides in the ocean.

A warm sun of the winter.

And, most definitely a woman with substance-character.

While at times she is as delicate as Cherry Blossom, she’s also an apt embodiment of Lotus that she has engraved on her Calcaneus — rightly so!

While very much fondly I have watched her laugh hysterically. I’ve also seen her sob her heart out.

While very much playfully I annoy her in full cylinder,

While at times I have also hurt her to shreds,

I love her… I really, really love her.

Happy December 5, Solution!

Namaste.

I miss you

Published October 17, 2024 By 8ijay.shrestha

Missing is bittersweet. You are painfully, gratuitously dancing with memories.

~Musicpervs

^{chance with you – mehro}

I miss you, when we really mean it — is so .. so crazy powerful.

I miss you if we really feel it at the core of our being — is insanely profound.

I miss you — is a pure heartbreak.

I miss you for real — is an earned incentive. Alive or otherwise.

I miss her.

Namaste.

Not her. No me.

At your absolute best, you still won’t be good enough
for the wrong person.
At your worst, you’ll still be worth it
to the right person.

^{Allman Brown & Liz Lawrence – Sons and Daughters}

On September 5, 2024, I had a second round interview with Bank of America team at 9AM PDT. I didn’t sleep well the night before and I very well knew I could easily mess up the interview if I didn’t get my shit together.

So, as usual to calm down my nerve and deploy tunnel focus on-demand. I started listening to the ‘Bathroom Dance’ track from the Joker movie .

It has become sort of a ritual for me to do these weird things. For cherry on top I took this mediocre photograph from the terrace of the apartment as I went there to get some sunlight before the interview started.

Later that day in the evening, Tessa called me and told me that Bank of America team have offered me a position.

This was … this really was indeed a humongous relief Post June 26, 2024. That day was the last day I had a job to wake up to.

Now whatever happened between June 26 and September 5, 2024, every day was painful.

Everyday was a lesson.

Objectively speaking albeit in generic sense, I did lose the ‘me’ at some-point during that timeline.

And, I was afraid I will never find that mojo I thought I had.

It would be ridiculous of me to not share the fact that my girlfriend is why I found the ‘me’. She is the reason why I was still able to keep up with that lost ‘me’ hanging by a mere thread if not for her abundant love.

Aptly, she is the reason why I am how I am,

Who I am,

How I am.

Where I am,

What I am.

Kind of apt to say, “Not her. No me’

Namaste.
