Vegan Chocolate in Nepal

Imagine, if you wanted to pursue veganism, a step further than vegetarianism and you just couldn’t find the products that encouraged being vegan in the Nepali market. It would be quite a bummer, wouldn’t it? How glad would you be to know that vegan chocolates are now available in Nepal? And it’s a Nepali brand. Columbus Chocolates has got your back for vegan chocolates.

I was searching the market for vegan chocolate a couple of years ago. Not that I’m vegan, but I just wanted to know if it was available for people who wanted to be in Nepal and for people who could not pursue milk products due to their lactose intolerance. I brought up the lack of vegan products in my other article Vegan Doughnuts in Nepal and how glad I was to know that vegan doughnuts were being introduced by Tasty Doughnuts. I’m glad to know many vegan options are available in Nepal for people who want to pursue a vegan diet; like vegan butter or vegan milk. But what caught my eye was vegan chocolate by Columbus Chocolates.

Columbus Chocolates took off in the year 2011 with a limited choice of flavors in the beginning. Vegan chocolates came in the picture in the year 2020 and I wish I knew about this sooner. Columbus chocolates introduced their vegan options in the market when many of their customers requested. How great is that people are seeing the benefits of vegan chocolates? Why pursue vegan chocolates, if you’re curious? Chocolates are made from cacao beans which mean that chocolates are plant based by definition. And here’s a little secret; regularly consuming a small amount of dark chocolate is actually good for your health. They are nutritious. Columbus Chocolates make dark chocolates, semi-dark chocolates and white chocolates besides their vegan options. And all their chocolates are available in custom packages that you can make for any special occasions.

I am so glad Columbus Chocolates has brought this option for people who would like to pursue vegan chocolate. Go ahead; give Columbus chocolates a try. They are delicious. You can order from them directly at : columbuschocolatenepal. Their chocolates are also available at various outlets across town like Home Grocer.

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

The Leaving vs The Left Behind

I still remember, I was standing near the entrance looking out at the garden. I was at my best friend’s home and she had gone to get her ever famous chips chilly for me. I was to leave for Bangalore again, in a couple of days. While I waited, I looked out at the garden and this thought came into my head. “Who is it harder for? The one leaving or the ones left behind?” Is it going to be harder for me in a new place readjusting and exploring, or my best friend here, who will me miss me? Is it harder for a person to settle in a completely new place with a completely new lifestyle and have to find new people or for a person to see the same old places, the same old alleys and reminiscent the good times they had with their friend who are not around at the moment? It was a random thought that filled my mind a couple of minutes and then I got over it. Some time after resettling here in Bangalore, my best friend sent me a reel. The reel was about 2 close friends who used to lived minutes a

Coming back home after one year has been a rollercoaster of emotions for me the past month. Getting to see everyone again, embracing family and friends, working on an office desk again, walking through same old alleys and of course, devouring delicious food that I so dearly missed. I am actually almost through the food list that I have been saving. But the people have been asking me the same question a lot: do you like it here in Nepal or in Bangalore? And the answer has always been the same for me: I like it wherever I am. Kathmandu is home, it is warm, and it is where family is. Bangalore is a different vibe and freedom and excitement. Kathmandu is a different fun and Bangalore is different fun, which is why I live in the moment and enjoy where I am. My mother always tells me: “ La wani tha nya wani ma” in Nepal Bhasa meaning “ the fish must go where the water goes”. The meaning while very basic is also very deep. If the fish does not flow with the water, it cannot survive. If yo
