Every once in a while. Stop living mindlessly. Rather, step back from the reality itself and breathe and contemplate. There lies the true high definition resolution of our real reality. ~ author

Brainfood: I will never be perfect and … that’s fine
My biggest turn off of the week: Not getting enough sleep. Solution: Need to form a practical schedule.
Occupied with: Assignments, Quizzes. Exam.
New Experiment: Mr. Potato Shrestha (@potatoshrestha) — a tool I made for myself to graphically register my life’s everyday ordinary events encapsulated around one post.
Sad news: Chelsea (pet dog) passed away!
Grateful for: everything!
Poem for the week
To try to spend one full life — one ephemeral moment at a time,
To try to walk towards life’s mountain top –one graceful step at a time,
To try to try to pick yourself up — whenever you feel short, whenever you feel high of the low,
To try to try not to be resentful, angry, mad, upset or judgmental — whenever things don’s happen your way,
First of all, thank you for being one of my BEST FRIENDS.
Second of all, thank you for being my cool a.s.s girlfriend.
And most important of all, thank you for sticking with me all these time.
Dear SV,
On this special day of yours, December the holy 5th,
I genuinely hope you continue to remain —
deeply fulfilled,
heartily joyous,
soulfully kind,
gravely laborious,
fiercely courageous,
and mindfully paperweight,
and unprecedentally beautiful, … forever!
p.s.
I know I’ve said it many times and I will continue to say — that you have been my center of gravity; that you have been my quintessence balance; that you have been the fulcrum of my life’s anatomy; that you have been my keeper all these time and I will forever be grateful for this unique gift of fate!
p.p.s Happy Birthday budi!
Finally .. let’s enjoy as we traverse through life’s peaks and valleys — and that too –together — bayb! ❤️❤️

Tere Hi Hum – Prateek Kuhad
It’s my first thanksgiving here in the states.
Not that I felt anything special about it.
Just turned-in the assignment.
And, it’s already 1120PM.
Took my vitamins.
I’ve yet to brush my teeth, wash my face, apply moisturizer and finish musicpervs!
This past week I decided to post a post — everyday –on @potatoshrestha .
In all sincerity I didn’t put a lot of deep thought into this walk.
I had two ‘specific’ goals in mind as I thought of embarking on this next anew experiment:
One, I just wanted the page to augment my real life. You know the kind of life that’s utterly random.
Sure, It won’t look perfect and filtered and glittery and thoughtful and all that ‘had tomake it look really awesome‘ kind-of-shit, because I for sure know that my life isn’t all that cool and awesome and painless and effortless, and sure it will never be, rather I anticipate it to be a collection of random, serendipitous, fun, boring, thrilling, bone-chilling, weird, happy and sad and and blissful and treacherous and yeah, it’s absolutely fine by me!
Potato Shrestha will definitely do a lot of potato things!
And, two, it had a pure utilitarian purpose. Meaning, a tool to meditate on ‘True Gratification’.
Hold on there! I’m not selling ‘Gratification’ to you just because it’s Thanksgiving time of the year. It just so happens to be.
I merely, merely think — we all must know that we are already the most luckiest of mother-cookers to have been born at this time of the era.
And, I think we have every right to make ourselves actualize that we ought to celebrate life and the fleeting times, and not take things for freaking granted, let alone take life so so so so seriously!
Lastly, tonight I feel Grateful to have stumbled across this fine literary punch from Mr. Aldous Huxley —
It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them … throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling, on tiptoes and no luggage, not even a sponge bag, completely unencumbered.
