Child Bear

Well, it is not a bear… but a beer shop.

They have “chilled beer” and the painter must have been too smart to write “Child Bear” instead. A friend sent this photo in email.

I am not sure if it is a real one or a smart photoshop image! Comment if any of you had a chance to see it in India.

Gifted poet Laxmi Prasad Devkota born on the festival of the Goddess of wealth “Laxmi Puja” and so named as a present from the Goddess Laxmi. But he turned out to be wealthier in knowledge and wisdom rather than in money and riches. He was known as Mahakabi, the great poet, and lived and died a poor man.

Unwanted uncared letterbox

The (still) standing letterbox.

This is one of those letterboxes in Kathmandu valley have survived numerous vandalism. Should have been ages since it received any mails in its tummy or a mailman paid a visit. There were times when it used to be full of post cards, letters to loved ones and a mailman would empty it regularly. That’s a distant history.

Looks like it is waiting for somebody to come by and worship with flowers and aabir (Nepali have strange habit of worshiping anything that is as useless as it is). If somebody tips over a protruding stone you can be damn sure the stone will be worshiped for being one of those 33 million gods. I wish somebody will tip over this metal box someday and we start placing an idol in it and worship.

Being a Nepali I am proud of the uniqueness of Nepali landscape, culture, and living style. It’s not true that all the uniqueness are fit to celebrate upon, but we have lived through them and we sort of like their aura. One member in the forum has posted some such photos from Nepal.
