Extracts

* I feel infinite.

* We accept the love we think we deserve.

*…but I have to pick my sister up from her emotional workshop. She’s making real progress.

*The great thing about Sam is that she doesn’t think I’m crazy for pretending to do things.

*Five minutes of a lifetime were truly spent, and we felt young in a good way.

* The trance happens when you don’t focus on anything and the whole big picture swallows and moves around you. She said it was usually metaphors but for people who should never do acid again, it was literal.

* I’m now up to about ten cigarettes a day.

*But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there.  We can still do things.

*I think that if I ever have kids and they are upset, I won’t tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn’t change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn’t really change the fact that you have what you have. Good and bad.

*Maybe it’s good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there. It’s okay to feel things. And be who you are about them.

* Because I was standing in the tunnel. And I was really there. And that was enough to make me feel infinite.

My classmate sports a traditional Tamangsali topi on Tamang Lhosar. He isn’t sure what it’s called, as the name varies, within the community itself. But he settled down for “Tamangsali ko chinari”.

I am going to get it in turquoise blue. :)





Stylish Kathmanduites 2012

11 01 2012

Let me enlighten you. This is to someone who recently claimed that fashion in Kathmandu started some two years ago. Let me take a needle and burst your bubble. This is my theory, fashion has always been there in every society. Or how can you explain all those beautiful attires and jewelry of different communities. It’s just that updating them was more of a luxury and only few people could afford it.

Though a little behind the calendar, I would like to wish everyone a very Happy 2012. And here I have listed down few people, whom I find stylish.

As a fashion journalist, every party and event that I attend I have my eyes on everyone.  I don’t miss what people wear and how they have constructed their ensemble. When it comes to good/interesting styling, I manage to get them even from the corner of my eyes. The person who finds it really amazing is Ujjwala. And she never fails to amaze me with her words.

The people, whom I have listed down, are stylish in their own sense but more than that they defy the concept of fashion. They don’t let the clothes wear them but let it happen the other way around.

The names are in random order.

Women: They don’t randomly throw a dress and put a pretty shoes on and term themselves fashionable. There is a thought process involved in their ensemble.

Kanchan G Burathoki , artist and art critic
