Dashain by "MAHA"

Dashain is biggest festival celebrated in Nepal. Millions of Nepalese celebrated this years Dashain all around the globe. For me this is a festival of family get-gathering, happiness and it has become cultural rather than religious festival. This is my observation. However, for some people, Dasain is a 'kaal' for being compelled to spend more than they can earn. This weeks video shows all about Dashain in a poor low-class government worker (peon) family and compares with in a family of government officer.

Dashain video presented here is from Madankrishna Shrestha and Haribansa Acharya, popularly known as MAHA. Its really worthy to watch this video. Enjoy it. You can other rest parts of the video in you tube.

This is great!

Touristic opportunities for Nepal can not be under-estimated.

Once peace prevails, we will do very good in touristic activities. The money for that can be used to develop hydro-electricity projects and keep Nepal Brighter.
