Why SouthPark is different

Having grown up watching a lot of cartoons myself, I have always thought that cartoons or animated series are a child’s thing. This is one of the reasons why I teased my brothers when I found them watching “The Simpsons” on TV one day. “How can you still watch cartoons when you’re this old?” was what I asked, or something like that. “This is an adult cartoon”, they smirked. Years later, I found myself watching “The Simpsons” too and then, I went on to watch SouthPark with my brothers. “You have to watch, it’s so funny” they said. I watched some episodes and I found that SouthPark was different.

Yes, it has foul language and some vulgar things, which is what I had anticipated when my brothers had said that this is an “adult cartoon”. And yes, it is also funny. What I did not expect was how wholesome SouthPark could get. SouthPark can take some of the most sensitive subjects and just give you a good message and make you realize things. In their own twisted little insane tales, they can teach you life lessons in the most simple of ways.

One of the episodes I realized this was in “Ladder to Heaven”- Season 6 episode 12. The boys are trying to create a ladder to heaven to get the golden ticket from their friend who passed away. The episode ends with the idea that heaven might not be a place with fluffy clouds and angels but a moment right here on earth. And in season 7 episode 14, when his supposed girlfriend breaks up with him, Butters sees the bright side saying he thinks it’s a beautiful kind of sad because the only way he could feel this sad is if he has felt something beautiful before. These are only some instances where they have a wholesome message at the end. Watch SouthPark and realize that there are more. It’s more than the foul language and the vulgarity.

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

Best Places for Breakfast in Kathmandu

The only reason I love sleep, more than the reason that, well, it’s sleep, is that it’s like time travelling to breakfast. Yeah, no kidding. Breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Whoever named that meal breakfast, was straightforward. I don’t know who named lunch and dinner, but the breakfast guy? He cut in straight to the point, didn’t he? Because breakfast is literally breaking your 8-10 hours fast. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper, they say. So, you don’t really want to compromise on breakfast now, do you? Now, this is no backlashing, but in many restaurants around town, the most breakfast things they have on the menu are omelet and toast. Yeah, I was disappointed too. There’s this restaurant in Mangal Bazar, where my best friend and I met up early morning. We decided to have breakfast. The restaurant overlooks the courtyard so it’s a beautiful place to talk over a cup of coffee or tea. She and I ordered a cheese ...
