  • Frustrating flight delays

    Flight delays are something we’ve all come to expect in Nepal. Whether it’s unpredictable weather, crowded skies, or poor infrastructure, delays are just part of life here. An hour or two of waiting feels almost normal now, and most of us have adjusted our schedules to accommodate these inevitable disruptions.

  • Magic of mixtapes

    Just watched Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) and it totally took me back to the days of Walkmans and mixtapes. I remember the rush of heading to the local music shop after school, hunting for the latest singles from our favorite artists, and the thrill of adding them to my newest mixtape. 

  • Landslide dam lake

    Imagine hiking through a serene valley, surrounded by towering mountains and lush greenery. Suddenly, you come across a stunning, crystal-clear lake that seems almost out of place.

    Back in our school days, FM radio was a huge part of our lives. Having a small, battery-operated radio felt like owning something really special. We’d even make handmade cards and take them to the radio station, hoping they’d play our song requests and dedications for our friends and family.

  • Resilience of people

    The roads remain dusty, and the pavements are torn apart. The river has scarred their businesses. Yet just couple of days after the calamity, business has resumed as usual. They will paint their walls, change their carpets, and fix their cabinets later, but for now, they are focusing on the upcoming festival days.

  • Flood and electricity

    For over 40 hours, the rain just didn’t stop. This city couldn’t handle it. The areas near the rivers were completely underwater. So many lives were lost, and billions of rupees worth of property just washed away. Roads were blocked, and half the city lost power.

  • Nepali time

    Kathmandu’s roads are full of reckless users—whether it’s pedestrians, bikers, motorists, public bus drivers, school bus drivers, or truck drivers. People of all ages—men, women, old, young, or children—seem to always be in a hurry, as if getting to their destination is more important than their own safety.
