The One Piece Of Advice That Will Change The Way You Look At Yourself

If we told you you’re doing just fine in life, would you believe? Probably not. None of us would, to be honest. Because, look at all these people around who have it all sorted, you know what they want to do in life, these people who are younger than you and are still much more successful, these people who are already buying their own cars and houses while we’re still shuttling between jobs. See the place that thought just put you in? That’s exactly where we all go wrong. That’s exactly how we jeopardize our happiness and mental peace. © Unsplash There comes a time in our lives when we feel that we’ve lost the grip, that life has slipped away and we’re lagging too far behind to ever be able to catch up. You’ve already lost the race; it seems, before even hitting your peak. Only, life isn’t supposed to be a race. You’re not supposed to be racing against other people. You didn’t come to this world to compete. So, step out, because you never really signed up for this rat race.

5 Things Nepalese Needs To Relax About

Living in Nepal isn't easy; it has never been – neither for outsides nor for its own citizens. We may seem celebratory and full of life to the world outside, but only we know how suffocatingly uptight we are in our mindset. Here are 5 things we Nepali really need to relax about! 1. Public Display Of Affection © BCCL We Nepalese want to keep everything under wraps. Most of us were brought up in a way that we feel ashamed about expressing our love to people. It is ironical how it is perfectly okay for people to hurl abuses and broadcast acts of violence in broad daylight – out on the roads, in public transport, and everywhere else, but totally unethical and uncultured to hug or kiss someone you love. 2. Inter-Caste Marriages © Google image As preachy as it may sound, we're people before we are  Brahmin ,  Kshatriya , Vaishya, and Sudra . It takes compatibility and understanding for a marriage to work, not common religious grounds. The

17 Things We Regret Not Doing in Our 20s

"Life is never going to be the same, not the next moment, not the next month and definitely not a few years from now ."   Our younger years are often wasted trying to ‘sort life out’. It’s only later that we look back and realize that we had been chasing the wrong ideas of success and happiness. A life with regrets is a life wasted. Here are 17 things you’re going to regret not doing in your 20s later in life. 1. Not Taking Fitness Seriously © Unsplash Being comfortable in your own skin is one thing and being unhealthy is another. Don’t get fitter for the world to see. Do it because you owe it to your body. People are going to come and go, the only thing that will stay with you till the end of your life is your body. Get in shape now so your body stays young even when you’re 40. 2. Not Saving Money © Unsplash We know you’ve heard that a lot but tell you what, it’s one of the biggest regrets you’ll have when you get older. Life isn’t easy, especi
