When we were child we always heard about witches and witchcraft. In my childhood, I heard a story about a witch who takes the youth and beauty of other people. So today I am going to share a story.
On a dark rainy night, a truck driver was driving the truck to the hills to load some logs of woods. Suddenly when he was traveling to the hills, the weather got worst, wind storms and thunders began to strike near the hills. It was being very difficult for him to drive so he was looking for shelter. Then he saw a small light on another top of the hills, then he decided to travel there with his truck.

After some time he reached there and found that it was an old tree-house, where there were many birds on that tree. He came near to the house and peek from a window there was a burning candle on the wooden table. He didn’t saw any person from the window then he opened the wooden cracked door and entered the house and gave a voice “Is anybody in there?”. Then someone came from the dark, it was a woman with a white sari dress. She looked so beautiful with a smile on her face and silky straight hair.
The truck driver asked for help in a polite voice, then she told him to sit on the chair, and will bring him a cup of soup and a blanket. After a while, she came with a cup of soup and a blanket. The soup tastes awesome but he felt dizzy and fell asleep.
Then the woman carried and throw him into the basement where there was a chunk of dead bodies.

Once upon a time,
A professor went to a zen master. He asked him the meaning of zen.
The Master quietly poured a cup of tea. The cup was full but he continues to pour. The professor could not stand any longer, so he questioned the master impatiently: Why do you keep pouring when the cup is full. I want to point to you, The master said you are similarly attempting to understand zen while your mind is full.
First, empty your mind of preconceptions before you attempt to understand zen. If your mind is empty. It is always ready for anything: it is open to everything.
In the beginner’s mind, there are many possibilities, in the expert’s mind, there are few.
You see in life, in your life, we all are full of preconceptions all the time. We are constantly judging and trying to relate things, actions, disasters to one another but this is wrong, our mind must be empty, we should not have any preconceptions, and we should take every event, every word, every feeling as what it is. Keep an empty mind, and your heart will be always full.

Zen is a type of Buddhism that focuses on awareness through the practice of meditation. … The definition of zen is slang for feeling peaceful and relaxed. An example of zen as an adjective is to have a zen experience, how you feel during a day at the spa.
Zen Means Felling peaceful and relaxed

Happy Ending… 🙂

Palpasa Café, by Narayan Wagle, is a good story based on the Maoists’ declaration of civil war. Drishya and Palpasa, the novel’s two core characters, spend most of their time with the male protagonist.

It tells the life of an artist named Drishya who lives in Nepal during the civil war. It also includes a love story. It explores not only the repercussions of the civil war on the Nepali countryside that the male protagonist visits, but also Drishya’s blossoming love for Palpasa, a first-generation American Nepali.

Drishya, a professional artist, enjoyed traveling about the countryside, and the sites he visited were heavily impacted by the civil war. There was no assurance of human life because no one knew when or what would happen. During one of his journeys, he met Palpasa, a first-generation American Nepali who had traveled to Nepal to see her parents’ birth country. After a few meetings, conversations, and discussions, they grow to like each other and eventually fall in love.

They couldn’t admit it straight or write a letter to show their devotion. The ensuing civil war has wreaked devastation not only on the country and the countryside but also on these two characters’ lives. Through the eyes and lives of the character Drishya, the effects and horrible situation of the country and its people created by the conflict are subtly depicted.

Palpasa Cafe, published in 2005, was and continues to be one of the best-selling Nepali novels, with 25000 copies sold in its first year. The book was originally printed in Nepali and afterward translated into English and Korean by Nepalaya. Palpasa Café, the first novel by notable Nepali journalist Narayan Wagle, won numerous accolades and honors, including Nepal’s most prestigious literary award, the Madan Puraskar.

Palpasa Café opens with a prefatory chapter in which author Wagle discusses going to a meeting with the man who is the subject of a novel he has been working on; the manuscript is nearly finished, and all he wants is one last interview with his subject, an artist named Drishya. Drishya never shows up for the appointment; when Wagle contacts Drishya’s assistant, he discovers that five men arrived at Drishya’s gallery, pretending to be security officers, and demanded that he accompany them — effectively, a kidnapping in broad daylight. It’s all too prevalent in Nepal in the early twenty-first century.

In the final chapter, ‘In the End,’ Wagle adopts the narrator’s role once more, describing how he finished the work “based on whatever knowledge I’ve been able to piece together.” He also discusses how the novel’s concept arose, as well as how he approached the subject, inspired by Drishya, who wanted to write about an ‘ordinary artist’ (‘ordinary’ in the sense of matching Wagle’s own background):
