The Avatars in Kartik Naach
I thought to capture every day activities of this year Kartik Naach at Patan Durbar Square, but not lucky enough. Today is the 3rd last day of this festival.
Saturday is the last day where the narshimha avatar dance will be perform. It is the main day where you can see lots of traditional dances and a musical drama of narshimha avatar.
Indra Jatra
One of the biggest Newari festival of this ancient city Kathmandu. We can observe many things in this festival. Traditional dance, Lakhe dance, masked dancers representing deities and demons and many other things. One thing that attracts the youth to this festival is going to the pipe joined to the mouth of Swet Bhairav. Boys just try to hold the pipe and drink the alcohol that flows from it.
Almost all top political parties of Nepal have their youth wings. Nepali Congress have Tarun Dal, Maoist have YCL and UML have Youth Force. Why these youth wings are there, for political fight? To make strikes? Can’t they be use for some good reasons too?
At early days YCL was used for some community work and they were praised by the people, but later they were extremely used for political fights and strike for which they were even called YOUNG CRIMIAL LEAGUE.
Since few days we have been hearing that some remote district of Nepal like Jajarkot and other neighboring districts of Rukum, Dang, Rolpa and Salyan have been caused by diarrhea epidemic. There are no doctors and medicine. What a shame for us at this era also people are losing life for disease like diarrhea.
Sex is no more a taboo subject in our society now. Especially the youngsters have been open towards it. Not just sex, but the way to express their love. We can see them showing it openly.
Few weeks ago there was news from City of Dharan that 7 couples were arrested by the police and they were suggested not to show their love openly in public. Most of these couples are doing their +2.
We can see many couples at Basantpur area sitting around the temples hugging and kissing. The local club started saying it indecent and threaten them saying they will capture those moments of couple and publish in news papers and noticed them not to perform indecent acts.

How would you feel when you reach the place you wished or dreamed of without knowing? Same thing happen to me in this incident. My friend from Mangolia Mrs. Khaleuna wanted to go to Dharmasala to meet Dalai Lama and listen to his preaching; here the exile government of Tibet also does their government work. She requested me and my other Nepali friend Ms. Neesha Tandukar.
It was a day of Holi Festival, when we reach Dharmasala and due to that I missed my Delhi Holi, but I was more excited to see Dharmasala, the exile government and Dalai Lama. I was unfortunate that the exile government security persons did not allow me to take my camera inside the monastery where Dalai Lama was preaching. I had to satisfy with Dalai Lama’s preach and to see him live in front of me.
I have heard the story about this historical place a lot; I have also seen pictures of it many times, watched it on television and read articles about it. While going through the pictures, I thought it was just a historical place and could not see anything to make myself believe that it is one of the seven wonders of modern world.
When I visited this place I came to know why it is called Seven Wonders of the World. It is not just a token of love from the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan to his favorite wife Mumtaz but it can be considered as the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Ottoman, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles.
I am still in Delhi and exploring every thing in this metropolitan. From the beggars to richest people of the world, from Metro train to rickshaw, from Rolls Royce to bull carts on the Delhi street.

I support Local Empowerment. So, I’m sharing this Everest Base Camp Trek to promote a new way of trekking where trekkers can empower the local service providers like lodges, guides and porters by booking services directly through them. #empoweringthehimalayas #freetriptoeverest
