The Modern Buhari

She wears a wristwatch to stay up to date and her wedding ring gleams on her finger. Bangles may or may not jingle on her arm. Her bag is full of things that she will need throughout the day. With a smile on her face, she is ready to face the day ahead and she knows what she wants. The female gender is taught to be confident, self–accepting, and independent. And such is the same when women step into their new life after marriage.

There is no denying that her life is drastically changed. Waking up to a new bedroom, taking a few minutes to soak it all in during the first few days, adjusting to a new lifestyle, and adjusting to new ways at her new home, she has gone from a daughter to a daughter–in–law. The modern Buhari is all about balancing work life and housework. She manages to do double duties every single day. She will put her family ahead of everything else.

I’m sure you’ve met her. The modern Buhari is educated and not afraid to speak her opinion. Elegant and decent, she values norms yet questions old traditions if they do not make sense. Of course, you’ve met her: the modern Buhari, she must work with you at your company. She faces all new challenges head-on with a smile. She will not let you know about all these new responsibilities that she has taken hold of, now. Suddenly her family tree has grown to double its size, yet she accepts it with a charm that is so subtle, that you will never know. And such is the beauty of the modern Buhari.

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 ...
