Kantipur sent a girl reporter in this place knowing Basantpur is a public harrashment day in Holi. A big F to Sambhav Sirohiya and Shrinkhala more power to the reporter — Navin Ayer (@NavinAyer) March 24, 2024   I am distraught seeing our society and people's easy acceptance of harassment. This is not okay at all. I witnessed so much harassment while walking in the crowd for a few minutes. I am deeply shocked.  There is something deeply wrong with our society. I am sorry, this is shameful.

Today is cloudy, chill Friday in Kathmandu. A light shower has cooled the hot spring day and is perfect for a jog in the morning. While preaching my good habits, I must confess that I have the worst record of screen time. 3 hours was the peak, but normal screen time on mobile is somewhere around two hours. This excludes screen time in the office desk. And this is scary. I do not have social networking profiles - I mean the famous ones - Facebook, Insta and etc. I use X for my office work and it appears to be equally 'attractive' for indefinite scrolling. A few days ago, I was on Amazon and.. uffff... and I don't need social networks to kill myself with screen time. YouTube Shorts and Google Photos are other time sucker apps. They will squeeze time out of me. Absolutely,  I MUST get away from these distractors. And Here is what I am going to do.  https://jamesclear.com/habit-triggers The cue-craving-response-reward cycle is to leave the habit and also build a new habit. The ...

  I remember Janakpur for many many things. I worked in Janakpur for about two years in 2009. Before that, Jaleshwor was my first job deployment in 1998/99.  The Madesh culture is fascinating and took me a long time to realize it. To put it honestly, it took me a long time because of the cultural stereotypes. I needed a new lens to appreciate the uniqueness of Madesh and Madeshi society and culture. I was in Janakpur this week. I did not miss going around the famous Janaki temple and running around the town early morning. A few changes, I see this time. The roads are much cleaner. Now, there are good hotels and many eateries. There were zero restaurants (a decent one) 15 years ago. There are coffee shops, restaurants and tuk-tuk to take us around. The train is operational now (as I am told, but did not see the train) One more thing that I observed this time is the 'Shree Ram' Flags all around. It seems to me, this is a spillover of the Jan 22, inauguration of the Ram temple in...

Once again, foodie talks, and today it's about म: म:  The spelling of म: म: in English has widely been accepted as 'Mo Mo', which is not correct, in my opinion. The phonics is mã mã or mʌ mʌ. Sadly, there is no correct spelling in the English language for म: म:. But it is not a big issue as long as people enjoy it. Secondly, the 10 pieces of momos per plate is not enough to sate the hunger. Whoever comes up with this standard is either a thin, low-appetite guy or an owner who wants to make a big profit. 10 pieces are a little less to satisfy the hunger and two places are a little more. The right number should be 15 pieces. 1 plate = 15 pieces. End of discussion. Momo is the most loved food in Nepal, in general, and somehow became a sort of national food for us. It is easy, cheap and delicious. Many argue that the origin is Tibet, but how a nationalist can simply let it go. I fight for 'Momo is originated in Nepal'. We are still fighting 'Buddha was born in Nepal...
