Palpa Visit

View of Palpa from Tundikhel

It was my second visit to Palpa, one of the most exotic place in Nepal. Had a wonderful stay there, though it was a rainy season. The rain didn't stop us from enjoying its beauty. Went to the village called Madan pokhara ( the pic in the right) and Cirtundhara (in the picture below), such beautiful village. Fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. Wish Kathmandu could also be like them,

peaceful, non polluted and greenary all around and the people so courteous. The food in Nanglo was best and shopping for Dhaka was as usual exciting, as they have so many different varieties of Dhaka (Cap, Shoes Bags, Materials etc). Hope to go back there again and again. Didn't see any tourist there, may be the government should think about it and take advantage of its beauty. the town is a bit dirty and it was very sad not to see the old palace. Now that the Maoist is in government, why don't think think of building the monument as it is, as they are the ones who blew it off. (don't know what they were thinking while blowing it, that its is not their property ; really sad )

Gaidakot Visit

Training is over and it went good. More than training I was happy to visit the fields. We went to the two villages of Nawalparasi, Pabitranagar and Dundheni. Met lots of local people, saw their lives, spoke to them clicked snaps. There was this particular incident I want to share, I was taking picture of an 11 year old girl. Her name was Chun Kumari Kulami and studies at class one. After taking her picture, I showed it to her and and she asked me innocently, when is she going to get her picture. I didn't reply, coz I myself didn't knew the answer. She was so soft spoken that I could hardly hear what she was saying to me. She was on her own world, day dreaming about the pictures. She was confused as to which corner of her house was she going to fit her two picture. She was talking to herself, and even asked me and then answered herself that she was going to put one in her house and one in her aunt's house. I felt sad coz I was so stupid that I couldn't even tell her that I would send it to her as I didn't know when I would be going back to her village again. I have posted here one of her snaps and one with her friends all in a happy mood, smiling for the camera.
