For long minutes, I stood there and looked down one road as far as I could see, sympathizing with Robert Frost. Finally, just as he did a century back, I took the other road, knowing very well that I wouldn’t be able to come back again to walk on the road I was leaving behind. I also knew that I would always be haunted by wrong turns and speculations about the road not taken. It was well past seven when I returned. The night was getting ready to swallow Kathmandu valley.

The road stretched out like a metaphor for the journey she was on—unpredictable, winding, and full of unknown turns. During her travels, Marianne visited quaint towns, hiked through scenic trails, and sat by peaceful lakes.
