Two years ago today (Nov 6) I left Kathmandu for Delhi. It wasn’t planned but here I am, today, back in Kathmandu from Delhi. I am in a hurry now- have to go to play deusi– so I am not writing a detailed entry like I did last year about my life, time and observations in Delhi and around India. I plan to extend this entry sometime in the middle of this month when I return to Delhi. Happy Tihar to all.

Tihar, also called Deepawali, is the second largest festival in Nepal after Dashain. The festival is celebrated for five days- Kaag Tihar (crow festival), Kukur (dog), Gai (cow) and Laxmi, Goru (ox & non-castrated ones) and Bhai tika/tihar (brother) which is tomorrow.
Bhailis and Deusis (traditional songs and dances by females and males respectively) during 3rd, 4th and 5th days are halmarks of Tihar. Also, a lot of lights (in cities n candlelight/oil lamps in villages) and little bit of crackers are also attractions.
