Writing out your dreams once you wake can also be a way of getting your creativity to flow. Don't be discouraged if very few of the ideas get anywhere, the main thing is to try. (less)

Namaste Nepal Holiday,

I strongly agree that Nepal is a very beautiful and wonderful adventure spot for travelers, one especially made famous for trekking, although it is also great for paragliding, kayaking, and seeing ancient Hindu and Buddhist temples and shrines.
I have done a lot of trekking mostly in the Annapurna region, but unfortunately not at all in the Everest area, still, I am positive that the Kalapathar trek is amazing.
It is very sad how covid-19 has affected the world, and travel, but hopefully soon will return to Nepal in large numbers to explore and trek the country.
I myself hope to return when the covid situation improves, as I have friends and people I consider as family in Pokhara.

Namaste!(less)

The Barn Swallows of Bijukchhe Traders

It has not been long since the fragrant scent of Shiva Ratri fires were yet in the air, especially with one such shrine practically across the road, but nonetheless, the recent improvement in the weather makes a change for the better. Indeed, it is like a calm in the eye of the storm, as it falls between the cold of winter and the heavy monsoon rains. Thus, the season changes towards warmer times, Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Andrew James Pritchard  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“To become a writer a person must read constantly, the more varied the writers and their material then all the better. One must also have a lot of life experience, travel to exotic locations and live among the local people. Yet most importantly a writer needs the determination to keep at their writing regardless of what others might say or think about it”
Andrew James Pritchard

“you must find yourself before you can know where you belong, yet to find yourself first you must know who you are. However, you will never really know who you are if you are always allowing other people to define who you should be, so be yourself and if you are still unsure of who you are then reinvent yourself.”
Andrew James Pritchard, Smoke and Mirrors

“I have always been considered a bit of an outsider, and a general failure at everything I put my hand towards. In fact, you might even go so far as to say that I’m a lesser being of great insignificance! I state this because, when writing a story, you should always start the first line off with at least one basic truth.

-First lines from the novel Sukiyaki”

“I swear, either I’ve done something very wrong in a previous life, or I’m saving up all of my karma for a rainy day.”
Andrew James Pritchard, Sukiyaki

“by travelling to all the corners of the globe it allows me to further define the ever changing world we live in, which in turn helps me to redefine myself, therefore it is an important process towards becoming a complete person.”
Andrew James Pritchard, The Man in Seat 11B

“Then there was Buddha meddling in, telling all of the Hindu, Hebrew, Christian and Islamic gods and demons that they were nothing more than unenlightened fear induced figments of nirvana-starved mortals.”
Andrew James Pritchard, To Revolt Is a People's Right

“-The very absence of the freedom to criticise against your own or any other government is all the more a reason to loudly shout-out for democracy! If that is wrong, Drew boldly went on, -then I would rather be wrong then to be numbered among the majority of the so-called righteous people whose only mandate seems to be controlling people. If a government is against its people expressing themselves, then that government is obviously hiding something criminal from its people and the world, and it is therefore afraid of being exposed and losing whatever power it has.”
Andrew James Pritchard, Circle In the Sand

“Ah, and then her beautiful face…actually, the level and angle that she was holding the umbrella, the whole time as she passed within Suresh’s view, only allowed him to see the bottom of her chin at most. Still, with a body as beautiful as hers, Suresh was quite certain that her face would be nothing less than positively stunning!”
