#thisiskathmandu

Cities make me feel live. The hustle, the bustle. The chaos, the noise and the crowd. Each element makes me aware of myself. And in-between all of these I always like to steal a moment to look up. Kathmandu Sky is the prettiest sky I have seen so far. Not that I have seen much. But on a clear day, when the smoke, smog and dust settle seem to settle down, this beautiful shade of blue and the white lines of clouds scattered around calm me down and make me smile. Took this while @phatcowlee was starting to play yesterday at @echovalleyfest #thisiskathmandu #kathmandubelike #kathmandusky (at Bhotahity) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvF7J-wA0ab/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tll1senmcgcg

Mi La Punhi: The full moon where we bask on the heat of fire. Mi means fire in Nepal Bhasha, La is month and Punhi is Full Moon day. Maa told us that they say the fire used be seen from Tibet. At Bhagwan Bahal, we barbeque ginger. According to @abhasdr at Tebahal, radish is barbequed while in Jana Bahal, it's the sugarcane. Please point that all three are Buddhist monasteries of Kathmandu city. I couldn't ask much yesterday but will do when I meet my gurju next. Here's to knowing our heritage. #knowyourheitage #intangibleheritage #thisisnepal #thisiskathmandu #kathmandukokuro #roots #thenepaliway https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs7AnnMAKJR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ewuscee4mvbl
