A Journey to be the French Legionnaire

Eiffel Tower

Circumstances matter a lot in our lives. If I am happy whatever with me, I don´t have to search for another option but if I am not happy, I have to. Success is not in my hands. For that I have to face different examinations no matter I get or not. It is my compulsion not my choice.

In search of success, I went to France to be the Foreign Legion Army. I took a cab from Charles de Gaulle airport to get Fort de Nogent foreign army base camp in Paris paying seventy Euros. I spent around 15 days there. Passing physical tests and medical tests, we all 23 potential recruits were taken to another camp Avon for the final selection by train. The train took three and half hours to get Avon. We got on the train and the train took three and half hours to get Avon.  I also got through all the tests there. Most importantly, the interview I had faced there was so irritating. Every potential candidate has to face two very long interviews there namely Psycho interview and Gestapo interview.  My Psycho interview was taken for more than two hours and my Gestapo interview was taken more than 6 hours which were very tiring.

Besides interviews and tests, we had to do some works every day inside and outside the camp. Specially, we had to do cleaning in the kitchen under the supervision of the corporal chefs which was very frightening. The skin and nails of my hands were almost spoiled by the hot water. When the bell rang we had to assemble together in front of the main building of the camp where they chose us to take work or tests. During that time, they even took us to another camp in Marseille where we spent almost 3 days. It was an hour away from Avon camp by cab. The camp was on the coast of a beautiful sea. The scene was very mesmerizing there. We had to work there from 7 am to the 9 pm. One corporal chef was very mean but another corporal chef was very cool. I spent 9 days in Avon and Marseilles.

In this way I spent almost twenty four days in France. Even if I was failure, I learnt many things for my life. I made many good friends there from different countries. They are still in touch with me and will remain forever. I have faced several failures in my life so far. So, I know how to stand from such failures. But it doesn´t mean that didn´t make me upset. I think the only true failure is when you stop trying. That was just an event; I have still lots more events to attend ahead.

Yep, I Got Promoted Today!

Yep, I Got Promoted Today!  आफ्नो कर्ममा विश्वास गर्छु। कसैको नराम्रो सोच्दिन। सबैजना खुशी भएर बाँच्नुपर्छ भनेर सोच्छु। मैले कसैलाई सत्रु ठानेको पनि छैन। सत्रु बनउँन लायक काम पनि गरेको छैन। मेरो Principle भनेको Do no harm, take no shit हो।  जे होस्, मेरो मेहनत, ट्यालेण्ट्स, ईमान्दारिता र स्किल्सको कदर हुँदा खुशी लागेको छ। मलाई थाहा छ, म एउटा खुट्किलो मात्रै चढेको हो, ६ महिनाको सुरुवातीमा। अझै शीखरको यात्रा तय गर्न टाढै छ। तर मलाई यति थाहा छ, यी चालिसकेको पाईलाहरु शीखर नपुगी कुनै हालतमा थाक्ने छैनन्। आपा-आमा, हजुरहरूप्रति म सँधै कृतज्ञ छु। किनभने, म आज जहाँ छु, तपाईंहरुकै आशिर्वादले छु। तपाईंहरु भौतिक रुपमा साथमा नभएपनि, सँधै राम्रो काम गरेर, हजुरहरुको आत्मलाई शान्ति दिने मेरो अन्तर्मनको चाहना छ।  अन्त्यमा, Sticks n Sushi लाई र मेरो Head Chef दुबैलाई भूँईसोरी धन्यवाद दिन चाहान्छु। I won’t let down guys. यो मेरो खुशीको पललाई अझै खुशी थप्न, आफूले आफैलाई IPhone 15 Pro गीफ्ट गर्ने पनि घोषणा गर्दछु। किनभने, संसारमा सबैभन्दा ठुलो कुरा भनेको Self Happiness रहेछ।  Thank you ALL!

A brief summary of Yashok and its pictures

Yashok is small in size yet it is very beautiful. It is in the west of Panchthar district. It is the second famous place after Phidim in Panchthar.  Recently, it was connected with roads. If you wanna go Yashok, there are 4 ways to get; one from Ranke, another from Phidim, next one from Mauwa and last one from Tehrathum. There are two internationally renown holly places namly Kusayak and Kumayak. It is considered as one of the sacred places in Nepal as Pathivara Mandir in Taplejung. It is also the center of many vdcs. It is also famous for Trishala Mela. It happens in the interval of every three years periods for three days. At this time, many progarams are organized. People not only come here from inside Nepal but also people come from all over the world at that time and they especially, worship Kusayak and Kumabayak at that time. In short,  it is the landmark of Panchthar. People love its eternal untamed beauty and we love its prosperity. Up with Yashok B

Unsafe Nepalease Sky

Cpt. Paras Kumar Rai So shattered by the news of plane crash at Lukla Tenzing Hilary airport in Solukhumbu. In which plane crash, pilot Paras Rai and co-pilot  Srijan Manandhar of Goma Air cost their lives and air hostess Pragya Maharjan was injured to death. My heartfelt condolences go to Cpt Paras Rai and co-pilot Srijan Manandhar and pray for the rapid recovery of Pragya Maharjan. Co-Pilot Shrijan Manandhar Every year, we have been losing couples skillful pilots by buying the second handed planes and helicopters from the European countries. Not only we lose the pilots but also we lose the crews of the plane s and helicopters and its boarded passengers. Many surveys have shown that the sky of Nepal is not safe for the flight. But the government has not made any concrete plan for it yet. Air Hostess Pragya Maharjan It's very expensive to study the pilot course for the students who want to do it. For this, we need to go abroad because we don´t have this
