		<title>Erm, we&#8217;re in Nepal. Not Mars.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last month&#8217;s issue of Himal Southasis was my second favorite till date (the winner being the thematic one on witches the month prior). Travel is one of the best things in life and one of my biggest peeves of life in Nepal (and by that I mean work and Nepali wages) is that you have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember the first kidnapping case connected to Kathmandu I heard of. It was back in 2007 and there was a little boy who lived not too far from where I do who was in the news for a few days. All they knew was that he had walked back from school, as he usually [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ladies and Gentlemen, fear not! It is NOT the Bubonic Plague! Hurrah Hurrah</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know what? Sometimes you just got to feel like the shits so you wake up happy to be alive and kicking. Alive and kicking. I never got that. Always imagined they meant it as babies are born kicking, but after this past week (or two) of feeling like the shits after so very long [...]]]></description>

		<title>my good name</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I fear I may have written about this before &#8211; maybe not an entire blog post, but definitely referred to it one or twice or ten times, who knows. Ever notice how in Nepal we are all about categorizing people? It&#8217;s not just about putting people in boxes but putting boxes on top of each [...]]]></description>

		<title>say goodnight and go</title>
		<description><![CDATA[i think it&#8217;s time to quit blogging (possibly even facebook-ing). i&#8217;ve been mulling the prospect for a few weeks now and as much i love it i think i can hear the fat lady sing. back when i started it was 2003 and there was little of that &#8220;community&#8221; we bloggers cherish today. nepaliketi only came [...]]]></description>

		<title>the gift of the present is a thing of the past</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember growing up and being so excited on my birthdays. The house would be full of strangers – all of them my parents&#8217; friends rather than my own (because that’s what Nepali children’s birthday parties are like) and we’d get crap presents. Who wants anything “practical” when turning six? Not me &#8211; birthdays and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[dreams are nothing more than wishes and a wish is just a dream you wish to come true&#8230; or so sang harry nilsson in the 90s sensation, &#8216;You&#8217;ve Got Mail&#8217;. i love this song, i even took it as my song to dissect in my seventh grade english class. that was when eminem was rapidly gaining [...]]]></description>

		<title>Poor little rich kids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just watched Jumanji on television and it took me back to 3rd or 4th grade, or whatever grade I was in when the movie came out. Yes, I know it was originally a book and no, I did not read it because by the time I heard of it an actual board game had [...]]]></description>

		<title>what&#8217;s wrong with being nepali</title>
		<description><![CDATA[there is nothing &#8220;wrong&#8221; with being nepali per se. but, i&#8217;m talking more about my little green passport. my father (a well traveled man who&#8217;s been to 60+ countries in his lifetime. SO jealous) is nostalgic for years past where he said the world perceived nepalis as honest and hardworking and so were granted the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good-as-new Nepal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I complain a lot about Nepal but there is also something still very charming left about our country. Too bad it&#8217;s all changing so quickly, but fragments of it do linger.I&#8217;m enough of a capitalist to be materialistic to an extent that I detest, but making friends with people who aren&#8217;t obsessed with [...]]]></description>
