I was reminded of something a Korean friend once said:
“When we were young, we could only look at bananas and be satisfied, and anyone who could afford to buy them seemed to belong to a wealthy family.”

A young man at an outdoor fruit market holds a bunch of bananas in one hand and an orange in the other, appearing to compare prices before buying. He is wearing a dark hoodie, light-colored pants, and a backpack, with crates of apples and other fruits visible around him. The muddy roadside market setting and his focused expression highlight the everyday reality of rising food prices.
These days, it feels like we can only look at bananas and be satisfied. Maybe because they are as yellow as gold, their price has also gone sky-high.
In Nepal, bananas now feel expensive even compared to countries where they are not produced at all, such as Korea, Japan, and Canada.

Two fresh bunches of vegetable shoots laid side-by-side on a dark granite countertop. On the left is a bundle of chayote (iskus) shoots, and on the right is a bundle of pumpkin (farsi) shoots. Both feature vibrant green stems, broad leaves, and delicate curly tendrils, showing the subtle differences in their texture and leaf structure.
Did you notice any difference? 🤔
There are two types of Shoots here 🌱.
They look the same, but the taste is different! 🍃 Which one do you like more? 😋

Neither does study go well, nor is money easy to earn.
To save a few coins, one must survive by going without.
What compulsion drives students to leave for foreign lands?
Carrying the burden of debt, without even securing a scholarship.
A sunlit lakeside scene with a large sprawling tree in the foreground, its thick branches stretching widely over the water. A person in red sits quietly on one of the branches, appearing to read or write. In the background are campus buildings, outdoor seating, and a lamppost by the edge of the pond, creating a calm spring atmosphere.
Ah, the season of spring—
a beautiful lake,
cool shade,
sweet poems,
“you” inside the poem,
and “me” gazing from afar.
Split image of Earth against a black background, comparing two space-era photos: the left half labeled “Apollo 17, 1972” and the right half labeled “Artemis II, 2026.” Dashed lines point from each label to its respective half, highlighting how the planet appears across two different missions and time periods.
No matter how far science & technology advance, and no matter how much war & destruction humans create, the Earth continues, in its own rhythm, silently floating in void and orbiting the Sun.
We are only temporary travelers, not owners.
Not arrogance, but responsibility can give meaning to existence
Those who think themselves as vast as the sky
rarely look down at the ground.
If they ever extend a hand to the small and ordinary,
know this: it is not their stature that is great, only their noise;
or that hand is not reaching out for help,
but moving forward out of self-interest.
When learning, focus on the process over the result. 🎓✨
But in a profession, prioritize outcomes over the process. 💼📈
That's the key difference between teaching and doing—just what I’ve realized! 😍🔥
Even Pain
Feels like bliss, no suffering.
Tired from a long day,
hands & feet tingling.
Feel it—understand—
muscles stretch & contract,
blood flows, heart beats,
waves & vibrations.
Endure—bliss follows.
Recalling hard work,
weaving sweet dreams,
sleep embraces.

My dreams are busy in a dream world,
Just like you are busy in your own world.

A prisoner is shown the Pole Star on new moon nights, told it's the moon. He eagerly awaits each new moon to see it again. Upon release on a full moon night, he still searches for the Pole Star, as it became his moon. #love
The world is dynamic. Staying active makes it easier to remain steady. Like a bicycle, which balances on two wheels while moving. Motion helps maintain balance. The key is choosing the right path, the right rider, and the right direction. #Dynamic
They come into life briefly, show sweet dreams, captivate you, make you believe they’re the one, and then scam you.
Others scammed for money, profiles, and opportunities, but you scammed my life! Only after being deceived did I realize—you’re a scammer too. #life

Yes obviously
If you I progressed in my life, it is because of you.
If my life is ruined, I might think it's because of God's curse.

It would be difficult to burn a living tree at first.
Once it becomes a charcoal, no matter how much you try to burn this mind, it will not hurt; the more it burns, the warmer it will become.
Time has made us look at the road instead of our phones while walking.
Before, people rarely walked without using their phones; now, they rarely use them while walking.
Hands once glued to phones are now tucked in gloves or pockets—thanks to the cold wave! ❄️ #Winter #SouthKorea
The path I was leading was difficult.
We had to walk all night, it was dark.
While others were sleeping, we would reach early,
You didn't think, the future was very bright.
We often offer advice and assistance unsolicited, driven by our eagerness to help. However, when our efforts go unacknowledged, it can leave us feeling undervalued and disappointed. #Life
Feels like we went overboard with Valentine's Day back then. Love letter & song contests were fine, but Mr. & Miss Valentine & Couple Photos? Too much! 😅
And guess what? I was a judge! 🙊😁
At least the winning couple got married! 🤭
Good times. Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️
HaHa.... Best wishes !! Good night
I don’t feel like studying, nor do I feel like doing anything.
Yet, I still want to become a great person.
I’ve become too lazy, just wanting to eat while lying down,
Always using my phone, feeling like collapsing on the bed.
