Until 5 to 10 years ago we never heard of mehandi and rangoli in mainstream nepali culture. But now every ram, shyam and ghanshyam is doing it. Why are we so much into leaving our nepali culture and embracing indian culture? Is it because of hindi movies or is Modi brainwashing innocent nepalis with his sweet talks?

There are always different train of thoughts. Thats why we have democratic and republican party. Each has a valid point. Each thinks he is more right than the other. Thats when we need an election.

Unquestionably,there has been compelling changes in the manner people celebrate festival/s,if compared with the past generations,which is all easy to detect.The mercurial progress in information and technology,telecommunication and globalization has assist in making anything, within a yard away from anybody's reach.What strikes me most,is the huge flexibility and board-minded approach shown by present-gen. Nepali people, when encountered with alien novelties.Unlike other tribes--muslims,jews,christians,shiks--we,have always been more inclined to try and test other's cultures and if deemed satisfying and wonderful,get quickly soaked up with it.It is also no wonder that people in Nepal celebrate Tihar with some specks of Indian resonance at a time when all the remote controls of each house is hijacked by the women-folks once the Indian tv-serials starts!!..At the end of the day,anything which brings happiness to the people and smile in their face are always welcome--without forgetting where our roots are i.e.

अध्ययन को सार्है कमि भयेछ ममा, के लेखेको हो बुझिएन. कुरा मिलेकोहो कि बाझेकोहो थाहा भएन.

माथिको प्रश्न चै, हाम्रा साझा विद्वान, गहन अध्ययनका धनि Nepalilaure लाइ है.

होइन kiddo तपाइको अद्ध्यन एकदम पुगेको छ | अनि मैले आफैलाई बिद्द्वन भनेको होइन है , तेस्तो भए त धेरैले पढ्ने माध्यममा लेख लेखेर यहाँ लिंक paste गर्थे नि \ मेरा कमेन्ट हरुमा 'अध्यन ' अल्लि बढी प्रयोग भयो जस्तो छ , माथिको चै delete गर्ने विचार आयो ;)

अनि माथिको कुरोमा चै कुरो बाझेको रैछ | हिन्दु धर्ममा गरिने कर्म काण्ड एकदम लचक हुने र यसै हुनु पर्छ भनेर ढुंगामा नलेखिएको भए पनि अलि अलि logic चै follow हुन्छ | बिहान गाई पूजा हुन्छ , बेलुका लक्ष्मीको \ अनि कसले चै गाईलाइ आफ्नो सन्दुकको बाटो देखाउला र भनेको हो \

अल्लि केहि वर्ष अगाडी सम्म म पनि 'अघिल्लो दिन गाई पूजा , भोलि पल्ट गोबर्धन पूजा (गोरु पूजा ) भन्ने गर्थे - येसो हेर्दा ठिकै पनि हो नि , गोरुले पनि किसानको कम्ता सेवा गरेको हुन्छ - तर होइन रहेछ |

Having an open mind is not bad but when it is too open, nothing sticks inside.
