Simple. Little. Things.

It’s sad. Most of us don’t realize what we have unless we don’t have it, anymore.

Ajnabee – Little Things
In a world where real love is a lot of hard work where friction is inevitable.
And true love still, is never a conflict-free love.

Never take him .... Not, to take her... 
Yes, don't you make a mistake of taking your beloved for granted!

p. s. Remember. The Balance Sheet of love also has Assets, Liabilities, Expenses, Overdrafts and Adjustments.

Let's start from there.

Little things in relationships.

If you’re a vivid reader of this small blog; You must’ve come across many such posts that speaks of the must haves’ and the havenots’ — recipes for a ‘good-enough’ relationships.

I’m certain I’ve spoken enough, in imaginable length, breadth and the depth about the real.love.ingredients that make up for a real.love.relationships. A pure partnership per se or simply Friendship. The genuine Reciprocity. Loads and loads of Humor, for sure. The unadulterated Honesty. Radiating and re-assuring Emotional Security. Shared Responsibility. Non-judgementism, Appreciation and Acceptance. Non-negotiable Understanding and a strong, very strong Support System. The Non-negotiable Respect too. Heavy stuff like organic, mutual growth, best jokes. and so on and so forth.

But, Shit! Have I written anything about simple.little.things which actually, and in reality make up for a large portion of the ‘daily grind’ that any…. any well-nourished, balanced and well-maintained r.e.l.a.t.i.o.n.s.h.i.p.s — Go Through ->

Nope! Not that I recall.


[Sidenote: She asked me if I’d write on ‘little things’ after having binged Netflix series ‘Little Things together.]

So, here I am. And, here it is.


Frankly, I don’t have 10 little, secret things you can do to pump up and launch your relationship to a sweet-next level, with your partner in crime, but sure I have some food for thoughts to share on the same.

[haha]

Cool.

So, allow me to present to you my flavor of ‘little things’ that we all can do.

  • A simple wake up and wind down texts.
  • Explore overlapping interests. May be food. Travel. Games. Pick anything. And do them. Freaking indulge,… responsibly though.
  • Watch movies together. Eat ice-cream, drink coffee, enjoy your mint lemonade whatever you like. Go to concerts together. Cook together. Find out and solve problems together. Go, shopping together. Do weird, silly stunts together — merely for a bellyful of laughs and gasps. Doesn’t have to make sense! Share, listen to songs together. Dance together for no reason. Unpack your whole package together. … Don’t think dirty! [haha]
  • Ask stupid questions. Ask, how was your day, How you feeling, questions? Take meaningless selfies. Make funny, stupid videos. Bitch about life’s unfairness and it’s suckers.
  • Plus, an advice from my married-best-friend, “Take things lightly whenever you have disagreements and talk about it later with cool head”.
  • Give each other sweet, little, frequent surprises. Take each other out for unplanned treat, retreats [emphasis added].
  • Oh yeah! And please compliment. Compliment dudes.
  • Kiss. Cuddle. Chumpy. Massage. Shower. Walk. Do Tik-toks if you have to.
  • Encourage one another. Just Be.there.for.each.other — side-by-side, nail and flesh.
  • Take inventories of each other’s favorite things as well as painful problems. Listen. Listen, and help each other out when things aren’t right.
  • Make your significant other feel he/she is special and taken care of and taken care for.

Life’s good if little things are taken care of man. And I guess, rest will follow.

p.s. Enjoy One of those days for a secret to a perfect relationship.

p.p.s I’m also learning bits and pieces in this department.

Endless Scrolling

Sajjan Raj Vaidya – Phutki Jaaney Jovan

I wait for Thursdays. Trust me, it is always a blank page and orgy of thoughts.

Well, few housekeeping since last Thursday.

  1. I and my girlfriend opened my long deactivated facebook account. It’s a pacific of cool past shits. I’m certain she’s already dived deep to the bottom of the holy ocean.
  2. Sadly, one of my cousin sister contracted COVID19. She’s recovering gracefully.
  3. Uploaded my first IGTV video. Made with Final Cut Pro.
  4. Created a simple family video. Again, refreshed Final Cut Pro skill.
  5. A cousin brother ‘Nijal Shrestha’ eventually got admitted to ‘Nepal Police Academy’ for his 8th standard after three years of attempts after attempts in a row.
  6. Working on my daily habits cum routine. Hopefully, I’ll soon be back to my 9PM-3AM sleep habit. And, not to forget, she’s also doing everything she can to get me back on my previously adored routine. See, she’s a keeper!
  7. Getting my hands on guitar at least once a day.
  8. Trying to have as much fun with Grand ma. I visit her every day (except for rainy evenings) and we trash talk a lot and laugh our privileged arsee out loud!

That’s long enough already. And sorry for wasting your time.

Now, without further ado, serving you the main dish of the day — yeah, Endless scrolling it is!


First, before I spill science, I want to quickly kick off with my curiosity for ya’all

[ intentional pause ]

Are you also guilty of being a happy prisoner of a social media factory

this seemingly rewarding but profoundly pacifying; this amazing but largely fake and deceiving; this so-easy-to-use but so-easy-to-get-consumed by-and hooked-into; this dopamine inducing, which is not bad in itself but also self-control-shaking and tirelessly,… numbingly habituating us to seek validations and approvals and conformations from others?

If you say —

Hell no!

I fucking love this shit and I love my phone.

Period!

Then, please, don’t bother going any further.

It’s okay.


However, if you are like me who agrees to be sicken with this disease and duly accept the mindless wandering out into the woods of conformity business of social media, then, let’s get our mind dirty one more time with digging and exploring.

So, only five questions to keep this simple.

Question 1: Why do you think ‘Youtube’ has a ‘Recommendation or Explore‘ section with endless videos-autoplay feature?

Question 2: Why do you think facebook’s video feature is also endless with one video after another and then another ?

Question 3: Why do you think instagram has ‘explore‘ feature with endless photographs, stories, and mostly stupid yet sophisticated and seemingly interesting videos after videos of strange people you don’t know and from strange accounts you barely care?

Question 4: Ask, are these social media really, connecting us or just making us more anti-social … and more stupid? Endlessly?

Question 5: How often do you check to see if how many people reacted to your social media posts? How. Many. Times?


Don’t you think it’s weird and fishy?

Rephrasing one of my mentor, Niall Breslin as he says that Our eye balls — meaning our attention, our focus,… our time in general scheme of things are like oils for companies of today. They want to control it, …matter of fact they want to own it!.”

And the science I was talking about,… is so beautifully put together in a short roughly 10 minutes video I’m about to share it with you.

My say: Download this into your brain as you listen every single word there. And take back the control of your life’s wheel.

My message: Stop. Fake. Reality.

P.S. My sincere gratitude and thanks to three of my mentors in the video: Cal Newport (Author: Deep Work), Jordan Peterson (Author: 12 Rules for life) and Simon Sinek (Author: Leaders Eat Last)

P.S. Hats off to ‘Absolute Motivation’ curator for the video.

Enjoy!

I’m no hero

Lama House – Secrets of the Earth

Perhaps, this is the first time I’m writing as I sit beside my grand mum. The song on the speaker is the one from Game of Thrones.

She sweetly complains [in newari], “What’s that song saying anyway [tries imitating the music] ? Is the song even good at all? We’ve good music here than the ones made in America. [laughs]”. Followed by a subtle, out-of-the-bloom inquiry, “Where’s your girlfriend from? [haha]”

I really love her company and her genuine curiosity and love for life and her toothless smile and her weird, self-made, profane songs.

Well, it is just that right now, the only thing I’m thinking about,… is, what ought I write about?


appointments went LIVE for full-fledge production release, on July 15, 2020, Wednesday afternoon.

Millions of applications, if not hundreds and thousands of them are launched every day, everywhere?

You may ask, why am i so hyped up about this one?


Well, for the most part; Because this one seemingly simple but wildly complicated project has been the only highlight of my lockdown story thus far.

I ate, slept, dreamt, toilet-ed, brushed, bathe, literally breathe, .. breathe, … every single day on this one idea. Fuck!

Matter of fact, Fuck my story.

Because it’d be ridiculous to not speak of the spine, the heroes, of the main spartans who had happily, willingly, heartily, evenly, gleefully, bravely, selflessly — sacrificed, yes, fucking S.A.C.R.I.F.I.C.E.D all of their blood, sweat and tears for this supple and wonderful child born out of pure dedication and commitment to create the best enterprise software experience we know.


Again, because only because of these few good men and women, eappointments has had her unique flavor of stories — stories of breaking and creating, trying and failing, embarrassments and triumphs, exhaustions and excitements, peaks and valleys, … storms and the calm.

Only, because of these skilled and talented minds, eappointments suspires today.

Only, because of their utterly selfless, priceless and speechless love and respect for work, for their duties and responsibilities eappointments is beautiful!


Whence, today, I’d like to take the opportunity to secretly, silently, truly and heart-fully thank the heroes behind her making:

In alphabetical order,

Ms. Dhanusha Roka | Business Analyst

Mr. Kaushal Regmi | Frontend, ReactJS

Mr. Rupak Chapagain | Backend, Java

Ms. Sabu Shakya | Frontend, ReactJS

Ms. Sauravi Thapa | Backend, Java

Ms. Smriti Mool | Backend, Java

Mr. Sudin Shakya | UI/UX


Truth be told,

I’m no hero.

You are!


Namo namo ~~

Earnest. Relaxed. Proud

Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

That Tennyson
Arham Fulfagar- Waiting For You/ Intezaar

I want to remember this day for the rest of my life.


Because, today was supposed to be ours day.

Because, today we were supposed to finally reap the harvest of our small yet important dream.

Because, today was supposed to be an Earnest. Relaxed. Proud day, for the ERP team!


The app, ‘eappointments’, which, we had been working our asses off, which we had been long fighting tooth and nails for, were to eventually go LIVE by todays’ evening.

Alas!

At last, it didn’t come through as expected.

Matter of fact, this was supposed to be a breeze for all of us, after months and months of overtime, and nothing less than pure h.a.r.d work, and genuine dedication and love for responsibilities and love for work.

Apology email to the client's spokesperson

But.

Fuck it! I will for sure carry this beautiful feeling I had as we left tonight’s battlefield, lost by fate, maybe a bit disappointed, but then with an inexplicable taste of victory too.

For, despite unfair odds and circumstances, we did everything we could’ve possibly, possibly done to seal the deadline.


Plus, for me, ERP team once again did stand tall, proud, unmoved and bold despite unjust circumstances and tough, and demanding, and draining test of times!


Our bodies utterly exhausted, battered and yorkered-out. But our brow somehow, seemingly, … feelingly content and cheerful.

Because, ERP persevered!

Yes, I am profoundly grateful that,

Not for anything, but for each other, right till the finish line.

p.s. Humble. Honorable Mentions to

Sushanta Gautam.

Rupak Chaulagain

Sudin Shakya, and

Dhanusha Roka.

Weeks

Don’t be ashamed of needing help. You have a duty to fulfill just like a soldier on the wall of battle. So what if you are injured and can’t climb up without another soldier’s help?

My marriage.

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

Marcus Aurelius
Jab We Met – Tumse Hi

I wonder.

Will I marry my.best.friend who embodies my beliefs, who shares my values, someone who braces my tantrums, someone who graces my imperfections?

Will this one person who I consider the love of my life, SUPPORT me in every way, all the way …, all the way?

And, mostly, will my in-laws accept me the way I am?

Or, will I have to pretend to being any different than how I have always, always been?


I worry.

Will I find my home away from my own home!

Will I find my family beyond my own family!

Or, will I have to cut short my soaring wings and trade my freedom after the wedding?


Will heartfelt love, mutual understanding, melting care, genuine reciprocity, shared responsibility, the unadulterated respect and heart-full-of kindness –be in the veins of my new found nest?


Will I have a voice, my say here?

Will I find another home that I can call my own?

Will I be lucky to find a man for the real?

Will I be actually married, for real, at all?

My marriage!

A Girl’s marriage!

Head Talks.

There is a crack in everything, that’s how lights get in.

Leonard Cohen
Sanam Marvi – Hairaan Hua

Deep. Dark. Fear. Inexplicable panic. Seasonless shiver. Clouds and mountains of self-judgement. Mocking confusions. Expanding pain. Contracting heart.


Out of breathe — couldn’t breathe.

Empty gaze –couldn’t Sleep.

Tasteless — couldn’t eat.

Bickering — couldn’t stop.

Hiding — couldn’t tell, couldn’t speak.


Silent sobs. Helpless tears.

Thinking. Spinning..

Losing. Spilling.

Spoiling. Digging. Digging for more.

Suffocating. Questioning. Expecting!

Explaining. Conforming. Justifying.

Thinking..

Thinking, and

thinking.


This is your head talk. This is your beautiful, vulnerable headspace.

Stress. Anxiety. Depression. Over thinking. Anger. Annoyance. Impatience. Guilt. Frustration.

Whatever you call it. This is not only your problem. It’s not only your story.

You’re not alone in this, my friend.

However, whenever these waves of killing, cruel, and mainly heart pressing thoughts come to your shore — Don’t get into defense. Don’t try fighting. Don’t ignore. Observe observer!

Matter of fact, as simple as it may sound but I’d want you to gracefully accept this foreign, strange and un-invited guest also called ‘the monkey in your brain’. Embrace her. Watch her. Let her dance when it dances but be aware!

Be fully present. And finally, kindly, forgivingly … let go!


As justly said, the devil’s in the detail — so, do not miss Head Talks by Niall Breslin.

p.s. remember —

One full breathe at a time.”

Downvote.

Piyush Bhisekaar – Wajah

This is not a post about ‘downvote’

But, just last Thursday, I received my first downvote at Musicpervs youtube channel.

Not that I put any thought on conformity, acceptance, agreeableness, and social media thermometers when it comes to my creative self-indulgence on the pursuit of learning more .

Or, say more precisely, not that I receive any attention on the platform to feel gravely concerned about, but this event had occurred right after few minutes of publishing the video. My guess. One of my subscriber is not happy!

Title of the post: True Love.

That loud, fat, echoing, demanding, authentic, pure, voiceless, screaming or perhaps wrongly oscared ‘downvote’.

But, again, this is not a post about ‘downvote’ at all.

This is about my reflective, internal inquiries and examination.


Have I hurt feelings of other people?

Sure, yes!

Have I committed mistakes in my life?

Most certainly. No doubt about it!

But, have I done wrongs to anybody, deliberately, intentionally?

Have I ever cheated on anybody?

Have I ever exploited or taken advantage of anybody?

Have I ever betrayed?

Have I punished, penalized, or sold lies to anybody?


If yes. Then perhaps, I should be the one answering it with full accountability and truths — not anybody else; And specially, not their feelings about events, circumstances and things. Because, trust me if feelings were the ultimate answer we’d never have had any wars or crimes or 9/11s in the first place.


Lastly, I’ve always said one thing and one thing only in my defense amid flood of baseless blames and criticisms.

I’m not a bad person.

True Love.

If you wished to be loved, love!

Seneca
Papon – Mujhe Kaisa Pata Na Chala

If you’d only care to search ‘Love‘ keyword here at Musicpervs, you’ll most likely find plenty of poems, essays or personal shits — totally cracking open my unrestrained love affairs with love!

Gist of it all.

True love is a perhaps the answer to life’s awe-stretching journey, the sadness it pelts us with, the happiness it blesses us with.

Truthfully, true love is only as best as a good-enough one.

True love is not without flaws.

True love is a lot of hard work.

True Love is a luxury; Only earned by giving. Giving!

Most important of all, true love is deserved.

p.s. She duly reminded me, it’s been a long time since I had written anything on ‘Love‘.
