Healthier holidays

Holidays mean you let loose and forgo your otherwise strict lifestyle habits. But ‘enjoying’ the holidays with reckless abandon can actually be really bad for your body and overall health.

Getting your home festival ready
Published On: October 17, 2018 09:39 AM NPT By: The Week Bureau
Readying your home for the festivities needn’t be an elaborate affair especially since you have hundreds of things to do and very little time to finish them all before relatives start pouring in for tika.
Drinks to warm you up, nothing beats a hot cocktail on a cold day
Published On: October 12, 2018 01:15 PM NPT By: The Week Bureau
It’s that time of the year when there’s a nip in the air and you need something to warm you up from the inside. And what can be better than hot cocktails that taste great while soothing that sore throat or tackling the cold you seem to be coming down with all of a sudden?

Following our dreams is never easy. You have to be willing to put in a lot of hard work and be persistent if you ever want to succeed in your desired field. Examples of people who achieve astounding feat in their preferred fields pop up every single day.

It’s that time of the year again when you will have many family gatherings and parties to attend, not to mention rituals and ceremonies. And Dashain and Tihar call for elaborate dressing. You will need more than a single type of outfit as wearing the same kind of sari, lehenga or kurta will get a little boring after a few days. This festive season, we urge you to experiment a little.
Beguiling Bhaktapur

You often think of narrow alleys flanked by shops displaying their colorful wares and temples that date back centuries when you think of Bhaktapur. The reality doesn’t deviate much. Literally the “city of devotees”, masses throng to the streets every day with cameras and eyes wide open to revel in the aesthetics of Bhaktapur.
The kite sellers of Kathmandu

Times have changed, and people’s taste and wants too have changed and though what is inherent to our culture shouldn’t be subject to this change, sadly, it is.
Dashain aayo (again)
Published On: October 12, 2018 08:30 AM NPT By: Kalu Maila
A lot of folks seem to celebrate Dashain abroad these days. Half of the people I know have plans to go to Thailand this year too because the package deal is just too good to ignore. I had also taken my wife to Bangkok a few years ago but the usual four nights five days package is not a good deal for couples. My wife was not happy (and that’s never a good thing) because we had to rush everywhere from the shows to parks to boat rides and other tourist stuff that the package offered. So if you are planning to go abroad during Dashain then don’t try to save a few rupees by taking the cheapest package. Go for the week long vacation package and you will not be stressed out like we were on our first and only vacation so far.
Of rituals and traditions

There was a time when Dashain meant kites fluttering across clear blue skies, struggling to stay up in the air, the long bamboos of the temporary swings squeaking as kids took turns pushing one another, and never-ending elaborate feasts. It wasn’t unusual for families to put aside ongoing feuds and come together for tika. It was a time to be merry and rejoice.
