The Best Movie Experience?

You’d expect a good experience when you go to the movies. No, not only the movie itself, although that is beside the point. But you’d expect good service for the price you pay. You do not want cramped leg space where you must move so you can let people pass, uncomfortable seats, or too much noise in the theatre. You go to the movies for the movie-going experience. You go for that sound system, the chill air, the experience of submerging yourself in a new movie and forgetting about what is going on in your life for some time.

Movie theatres have come a long way in Nepal. And they are only getting better. From the noisy people, all that whistle blowing, and uncomfortable cramped seats to more managed theatres with elevated service, people are understanding the value of movie theatre experiences. The first vivid movie experience I remember having is of watching “Kuch Kuch Hota hai” back when I was a kid in Guna Cinemas in the 90s. And now, it is the same Guna Group that has recently introduced the “Durbar Cinemax”.

Durbar Cinemas is a new benchmark for movie experience, I must say. Furnished lavishly, it sets international standards. Complete with comfortable adjustable recliners and a considerable distance between two people, it allows you to enjoy a movie at your best. With enough space for your legs and at your side for your stuff, this definitely feels like watching a movie at home. The theatre is not so big, with limited seats but that is what makes it better. It allows you to enjoy the movie without the crowd and the noise. A food tray at your side where you can place your snack easily, Durbar Cinemax also offers, and I honestly say this is the first time I have seen a bar at the theatres, drinks to enjoy during your movie.

So is it the best movie experience one can have? A big yes if you’re all in to enjoy a movie at your own time, in comfort and relaxing away from the world.

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 ...
