"You're not fat, you're beautiful."
"Hey skinny, you're so lucky you can eat whatever you want"

Full of inextricable quandaries
Shackled by boundaries

Onto that road of highs and lows
Of peaks and valleys.

“Street children: a matter of serious concern”
It was a lazy Saturday afternoon, like any other weekend. I decided to make the best of it by visiting my maternal uncle in Bhaktapur. Mid way at Gaushala, my bus stopped and I saw a scene on the roadside that set deep in my mind. I saw 3 kids- 2 boys, and a girl, around 10-12 years old, wandering with a big rag, collecting something. This is not the first time that I saw street children, but I don’t know why, this time the scene took me to a brainstorm. As the bus started moving, I started to think about them. Many questions raised in my mind. Who are they? Where are they from? Where might their parent.....
