As a
kid back in those days, we have few of the common things that everyone brought
up in Nepal understands. Here are seven of the Nepali childhood Clichés
that all of can easily relate to . If there are any please mention it to the comment below :)
1. Sing Rato
Tika Nidharma every time we play Antakshari.
Ever since I remembered playing Antakshari , Raato tika Nidharma talakka talkiyo has
always been sung once in the game , it is the one song that we never miss to
sing . Our very own song. Then comes Rato
Rani fule jhai sajha ma….. and Paan ko
paat maya timlai samjinchu din ko raat Marshyandi shalala..
2 Saturday is
our compulsory Bathing and Meat eating day.
Even though we always waited for Saturday because it used to
be our only day off (most of ours) and the day to eat Masu , we always had to take a compulsory shower on a Saturday .
after which we could enjoy the Hindi movie sessions in Nepal television .
3 Dashain
meant that we have to have brand new clothes .
Well whenever we thought of Dashain we thought that we have
to brand new clothes. We consider it our most beneficial day where we wear new
clothes, eat good food and even get money . Bingo, we all love Dashain.
(especially girls )
4 We go
Temples on our birthday.
Bathing and going to temple is compulsory on our birthday.
we feel all of a sudden very religious and we feel a pool of blessings coming
for us on our birthday . like all the gods are showing favouritism to us , in
return we also become very open hearted and donate money and food as well. After all its our Happy Birthday :D
5 Momo love. .
There was a time when the basic idea of going to a restaurant
was to eat momos. Just to eat momos. When the idea of celebrating occasion was
to have momos. Like , it’s a Nepali new year , “my mommy made momo and we
enjoyed it for Happy new year ” or “my
cousin sister returned from hostel and we had a momo party”
6. We loved orange
balls and Lacto fun
The reason we loved orange balls were because it tasted
great,plus we could literally get 4 for a rupee, .only thing affordable to us. And how can we
forget our own lacto fun and its wrapper. We literally used to stretch it out till
we get it as long as our arms and then what next??? Well from where I grew up
if we made three of those , we could get 1 for free. In those days if anyone allowed you to have a
chewing gum was a great deal of trust, “remember honey you are supposed to chew
and throw it not swallow it” were the strict instructions.
7. Watch meena
cartoon and moomin
The funny like that said “Radha o Radha Kina na boleko “ is from Meena cartoon and we all
loved our very own parrot Meethu and his
famous lines like “Charpi gaye pachi,
khana khanu vanda agadi ani kehi fohor chalayema sabun pani le haat dhuni garau”, and we loved Moomin as well. Till now
many of us have no idea what animal Moomin is (even I got no clue) but we all
loved the cartoon , politeness of the family and our Little Sanu Maya with her over the top attitude.
