"When Stars Align"

  "When Stars Align" Prologue Sometimes, love doesn't work out in the way we expect. Sometimes, we meet the person we’re meant to be with too early, and sometimes, life has a way of pulling us apart. This is a story of a love that could never truly fade, even through distance, time, and all the things life throws at us. And how, in the end, it finds a way back when the stars align. Chapter 1: A Love That Was Lost It all started on a college campus — a bustling, vibrant place filled with ambition, dreams, and, of course, love.

Why Trekking in Nepal Is More Than Just Mountains

  🌄 Why Trekking in Nepal Is More Than Just Mountains Ask anyone why they want to trek in Nepal, and you’ll probably hear this: “The mountains.” Fair. The Himalayas are earth’s greatest masterpiece—stoic, ancient, dangerously beautiful. But here’s the twist most travel brochures miss: Trekking in Nepal isn’t just about reaching peaks. It’s about the people, the moments, the soul shifts. The Himalayas might draw you in—but it’s everything in their shadow that truly leaves its mark. 🧘 The Silence That Says Everything There’s a kind of silence in the Nepali mountains you can’t explain—it’s not empty, it’s full. Full of presence. Full of breath. Full of something bigger than you. You’ll be walking through rhododendron forests, the only sound being your boots and your heartbeat, and suddenly—bam—it hits you: you’re just a small flicker in a massive, ancient world.
