Dashain

Happy belated Dashain, or dashain ko shuba kamana.

Dashain is the largest and longest holiday of the year for Nepalis of the hindu religion where for 15 days people travel out of the urban spots (Kathmandu, Pokhara, perhaps Butwal) to return to their village homes and spend time with their families. In my village, lots of goats were murdered, marinated, and eaten, and lots of tikaa was thrown (and lots of paisaa given away with blessings from elders/superiors).

It's a big deal for nepalis.
As for Americans living in Nepal, after doing some research I've found a common trend is doing much of nothing (beyond reading or watching things).
It's been a long couple of days of sitting around, but it was also nice to see some hustle and bustle on the dirt roads and spirits up.

Happy dashain mero saathiharu <3
