Ministry of Tourism, Industry Forest and Environment, under the promotion of Nepal Tourism Board Pokhara, and management of Photojournalist (PJ) Club Nepal is organizing 'Province 4 Tourism Photo Contest'. According to the press statement released by PJ Club, there are two categories for the contest: ‘Our Destination’, and ‘Activities’.

Normally, people tend to mainly focus on the spices and flavoring while cooking Punjabi cuisines but the upcoming festival is looking to take the traditional, wholesome menus up a notch with their modern and progressive approach to it.

Few weeks ago, my friend and I were hungry after a whole day of travel around New Delhi. We agreed that if we value our lives, we must show a little sympathy to our hungry stomach. Thus a desperate search for cheap food began.

It’s ironic that we have to wait for a day every year to celebrate the achievement of women. When we look at our mothers, wives and sisters, we are amazed by their multi-tasking skills. My mother is a great cook and so is yours. You can go to the best Thakali restaurant in the city but their food can never beat the dal bhat and tarkari your mother makes.

There isn’t a month better than Shrawan to locate the devotees among us. As the holy month makes its presence felt, we can easily spot them among the masses with their puja tikas, green bangles and henna tattoos.
