My daily life and undone homework !
Hi everybody,
Today i have come up with my homework and my daily life. At first I present my homework and then about my daily life .
Amy, I have tried to link the sentences. I don't know it will be o.k. or not.
Here I go...
1. Despite being very busy in my office works I read Amy's blog and comments to my blog.
2. Though for some of you it may be a repetition eventhen I would like to go in details about the materials and the construction of these huts.
3. The roof is thatched roof and the height is around 2 to 2.5 meters.
4. Red mud is used more than white mud in some places of Nepal because of its availability.
5. The metal sheet roof makes the top story too hot during the day time yet people prefer it to be tension free from maintining this every year.
In my last blog I felt that I wrote more about the dress of brahamin caste in Nepal. I couldn't include and explain more dress for example tharu people. They themselves wear different dress depending on the places. Most of the dress are of brahamin, Kshetri and Newar. I wrote " it smells more like that". I felt my writing little bit biased so I mentioned that.
Kishore Jee, you are right I put more women dress than the man and also i couldn't include all the dress which we see in Nepal.
Here is the natioanl dress of man which i forgot to include last time. I didn't do gender balance last time. sorry for that.

Let's move to the comments on houses in Nepal.
Yes, Amy we have certain procedure which should be completed before we start building a house. In Nepal most of the houses are built in private property. For big building for instance supermarket, shopping mall can be built in leased land which should be returned back to government according to the agreement done between party and the government. The specified period be 25 , 50 years.
The next thing is the drawing of the house should be approved by municipality and house should be made in certain distance from the access road if there is any,
And also there are laws which don’t allow making building more than 3 stories. It is applied in the king’s way where there is a palace and near and around durbar squares to save the beauty of the area and to conserve the heritage area. I think there are more places but I don't have idea about that.
Now about charity shops:
Here in Nepal also we have some charity shops some of them are in the name of orphan children, some are in the name of disabled and some in the name of women.
I know about the one in Bhanktapur, they prepare pashmina shawls, scarf, handkerchiefs and put for sale. I haven't got chance to go there. When I find time I will go and try.
Now i would like to go to my everyday life. Though its not interesting I am writing.
Its not that specific as Amy wrote but I will try to write in order.
I wake up around 6 AM. I am a late sleeper. My blood pressure is low and I have heard that a person with a low blood pressure can’t wake up early. So even if I want to wakeup early I can’t do that.
After waking up I finish daily personal routine. These days I am living with my friend. Prior to breakfast we like to have leaf tea and then we prepare breakfast together and have it. The very common dish in the breakfast are bread omlet and milk tea and some pieces of seasonal fruit. After breakfast it’s almost 7.30. I take shower and then change my dress and I become ready before 8 and leave my house at 8 to 8.05. This is the fixed time for me to leave for office. I reach the bus stop 8:15 and I take the local microbus sometimes take a LPG operated tempo and reach the office 8:30. For me from 6 to 8:30 is like an express bus.
In this period of time neither I like to get any call nor do I like to receive any call. Even a second is very important for me.
Busy in office from 8:30 to 12 noon. As soon as clock shows 12, I start going for lunch. In between 12 to 2 I can use 1 hour for lunch. It’s very hot out side. Some times I go to my brother’s place who lives near by my office and some times to the restaurants around my office. I sweat when I go and come back. But I feel hungry what to do I need to go.
I returned back to office around 1 to 01: 15 and then again busy doing works till 5:30. I leave office at 5:35 to 5:45 PM. I rush to bus. Since it’s the office time I got stocked in heavy traffic jam. I reach to house at 6:30. It takes little bit much time than in the morning because I do shopping on the way while returning back to house.
When I reach to house I take shower and have black leaf tea and start cooking. The common dinner for us is rice, vegetable curry, chicken/fish and pickle. At 8 PM is our regular time for watching TV for Nepali news. At 8:30 we take our dinner and around 9 finish with cleaning kitchen. 9:15 we sat for meditation for 30 to 45 minutes and then go for sleep.
This is how I pass in usual case but there might be some exceptions. Saturday and Sunday are my weekends. off course these days differ from other weekdays.
Thank god it’s Friday!
Now its 5:35 I am leaving.
Have a nice weekend!
Kiran

Hi Kiran Thank you for your last post.You say you are very busy at your office. What kind of things do you do in your office. Your office work keeps you very busy . Do you like this? Come to another thing, What do you do in your spare time? especially saturday and sunday...I would like to ask another question. Howlong have you done meditation? is this traditional habits or not? Do many people do meditation in Nepal?have nice day. :))
Hi Kiran, I like your routine life.However, I think that you are an early worm. You get up very early. I wake up at 7:30 am, have breakfast at 8 am, leave for office at 8:45. I work from 9 to 16. I only have 1/2 hour to have lunch at 13. I admire you for making time to meditation. It's very important to do that before going to bed. I used to practice that when I attended yoga classes but I couldn't put it into practice to do at home. Have a nice weekend. Cris
Hello Kiran, your daily routine seems to be pretty tiring. I liked very much the descriptions you made of the typical clothes and buildings of Nepal. I feel like I'm a little closer to you now. As you described your daily routine and a big part of it is spent at work I thought you might as well describe your job to us. The tasks you have to perform everyday. It would be nice to know. Well, Kiran, that's it for now. Great talking to you again. See you. Bye!!!
It sounds good righting about customs and habits of a country. But you know that sort of information are on most encyclopedia. I do agree that could be useful in regard of details you give us. Good luck
Hello Kiran, good to know about our neighboring country’s construction pattern and clothing. The Tharu girls’ dressing seems very close to Pakistan’s national dress. Is this a common dress in Nepal or only meant for Tharu cast. If it is limited to Tharus, I would like to know about this cast in detail. I am also interested in the political scenario of Nepal. How people feel after ousting King Gyanendra? What is the role of ex-rebels in the current politics? I would appreciate if you can educate me on the political culture of Nepal. It would be very interesting to know that how politicians behave with common citizens. Is there any VVIP culture or all the citizens are able to enjoy equal rights? Information about military role in politics would get extra appreciation from this part of the world. Thanks and cheers
Hi Kiran, it's very interesting about meditation, I'm trying that but I don't yet get 30 minutes, but I'll get it, best wishes
Hi Kiran, thank you for writing more often and with many interesting points. You are a working girl, as Leila liked to say and you get up very early. Have a nice weekend. When do you use Internet? Only in the office? Is it very expensive in Nepal?
Hi Kiran, I really liked the way you talked about a typical day of your life. I could imagine you going through the different steps. By the way, Kiran, you said that you are a "late sleeper"! I usually wake up at 7 AM and I consider myself an early riser!!
Hi Kiran! thanks for telling us your daily routine. Best wishes, Ana Paula.
Thanks for all your contributions. This blog has now closed and can no longer accept new comments.
