A mother and daughter. A blog woven from wonder, words, and the space between them — where a child's imagination meets a mother's deepest questions, and everyday life becomes something worth writing down.
Era — The Imagination
Era is nine years old, and the world is her canvas. She draws, sculpts clay, dances, and has recently discovered that cooking is its own kind of art. Her stories are full of colour and surprise — the kind only a child can produce when nobody tells them what is and isn't possible.

Mamma — The Reflection
Gamala is a dreamer, a seeker, and a mother navigating the distance between Janakpurdham and Kathmandu — between duty and presence, between what life asks and what the soul answers. She writes in Nepali and English, from memory and from stillness, about the things that don't fit anywhere else.
If I should introduce myself, it is easier to tell you who I am not than what or who exactly I am. I am not a poet though I sometimes join verses, not a writer though writing is my passion, not a journalist though I majored with journalism in graduate school, not an administrator though my current job role makes me so. But yes, I am a mom though I mostly find myself with guilt on not being enough available for my daughter, I am a daughter not because I have been able to fulfill a daughter's roles to her parents but because they love me so unconditionally and so so much that being their child is the first thing I would thank God for, I am a sister, the little one, because my siblings treat me with so much softness and gentleness every single day that I feel like is this really what I deserve after being so stubborn all these years… I am the blessed human because the almighty has showered me with peace and prosperity that I never imagined for myself.
What You Will Find Here
This blog does not fit neatly into one category. It never did. Here is what we write about:
Gamala's Monologue — Personal essays on memory, motherhood, womanhood, and life in Madhesh. Written in Nepali and English, close to the bone, from the inside of a life actually being lived.
Era's Stories — Short stories, creative writing, and imaginative worlds built by a nine-year-old who believes anything is possible. Because it is.
Art & Craft — Clay pots, drawings, and homemade creations. Documentation of what happens when a child is given materials, time, and no instructions.
Nepali Poetry — Spiritual poems written in Nepali, on devotion, divine grace, motherhood, and the soul's long journey home. Read the poems here →
Women's Health — Reflections from the ground — on menstruation, HPV, cervical cancer screening, and the girls and women who fall through the gaps of the system in Madhesh.
Nepal & Madhesh — Personal witness from Janakpurdham. The texture of life, work, protest, and change in a region that deserves more voices writing from within it.
That is all. No neat categories, no editorial calendar. Just two people — one nine years old, one mid-forties — writing honestly about what they see.
