CHAPTER

To start new chapter in my life, this Jan I came to UK to pursue my so-called bag full of ambitions. I left a good life full of literally anything and everything I aspired for. I had good food on my table, roof over my head and most of all my family with me. What would I ask for more than this? Now that I am here writing this story I have so many prospective in my head. Personally, I have noticed multiple changes within myself. I have changed my Modus Operandi. I have changed my visions, ambitions and now I want to take things differently than ever. I am trying to understand all the hustle bustle this Londoners have in their life. The pain that they have, the joy they spark, their schedules and everything. Regardless, I am trying to enjoy life and this story portrays few moments that are within my head.

First thing I remember is my school days. Yeah, they were good but not that good. I would not say they were brutally bad but you know can’t deny the fact. That was my second time visiting Kathmandu and I was left all alone at the age of 9 for my studies. Journey started. Thought life would have been way easier looking at the school and those infrastructures. First few months they were good. We had personal tutors. Every passerby would wave hello. All the beautiful memories with friends and fellow mates. But journey took different turn. Life is not a bed of roses. Language barriers as I was not confident with English. Few bullies from fellow and seniors, the lifelong migraine that started, torture from that one teacher I’ll never forget and so on. But, no regrets at all. Was one of hell of experience and memories I’ll never forget.

Then comes the other chapter in life. This one I would name it Chapter Learning and Earning. I have had a heck load of responsibilities to support my father in every way possible with the aim of being finest corporates one day. Countless sleepless nights from building a company from scratch to at least being known regionally. The hurdles and struggles we faced during our initial journey. Syndicate of big players in markets, law suit filed by locals, ditched by business partners, raids in house, threats from unknowns, these are few to name. We moved forward thinking God is there to sort this all and rescue us. Nevertheless, fast forward to five years later we are in a stable condition now and have very few things to worry about.

But, for me this was not all I wanted. Life had different plans for me. Moved to London, been a month or so, still not completely settled with not a bit of worries. I can’t understand myself these days. I want to be Jack of all and Master of few. Be it job in corporate or manufacturing admin or finance section, be it research in any field I want to do everything. The hustle bustles I mentioned earlier, that taught me this thing, to do and be everything. Simply, grab any opportunity.

Grabbing an opportunity, I have started a part time job. I go to university twice a week. Kind of busy but not being able to make the best out of the time and the place. But, but that’s not who I want to be. Deep down being honest I really want to be a scholar. Not just a nerdy scholar but the one that can influence mass. Before I die, I want to solve most of the mass scale problems the Earth is facing just because of few reasons. I know its not totally right, but I end up comparing every problem with economic value. So, I see problem with the economy that we are based on. I want to dissect the economy and remove all the problems from root. This is not just a script on paper. Instead, it’s my mind that has a solid backup plan (of course some cons) speaking. In layman’s word I want to implement a system called Universal Basic Income where everybody will get an equal pay whether it is a Prime Minister or a Janitor. This method, trust me will solve most of the problem. I basically want to help people live better and easy.

That’s not all in my life. I am just a young 20 with very vital and sensitive thoughts that might change at any point of time. But no worries at all coz I think I have understood life as well as my future ahead. Ending note and free piece of advice, life is full of difficulties and is super bumpy ahead so put on your gears.
