The festival of light

Deepawali is my second graetest festival celebrated by almost all of the Hindus in the world. It is also called "Tihar" in my home country. Generally, it last for 5 days. We worshipp crow,dog,cow,ox and our brothers and sisters in each of the days. Goddess Laxmi, The goddess of wealth is maily worshipped and various rituals are performed. We light our house with candles, electric blubs and with the diyos( small candles made out of clay).
People buy new jweleries, furnitures,silver and gold believing that this will bring then good luck in this occasion. We even make a special kind of bread and sweets for this occasion. Mostly children play "deusi and bhailo" (they sing songs about the festivals and they would get money,bread and sweets).

We even light fire and crackes by our own self at each of the homes. People clean each and every corner of their home and decorated with special kind of marigold flowers.At the last day of this festival, we worshipp our brothers and pray for their long and healthy life. This helps to make their relationship even more stronger.

My National Flag

Have you ever seen a triangular flag which is actually a national flag of a country?

Well, My home country has a triangular falg as a national flag. People think its strange and funny but i think its extra ordinary and looks cool. There are mainly 3 colors used in the flag which hold their own significant symbolic meanings. The border of the flag is dark blue which describes the behaviour of Nepalese as a peace loving people and their feeling of brotherhood towards others. It also says resembles the blue sky and the ocean which is comparable to our big hearts and feeling for others.

The background is red which symbolizes the blood and which depict the history of our great warrirors and the brave Gurkhas. It also says that" we do not let anyone be alive if they try to harm our motherland but we can even scarify ourselves for our friends and well wishers."

Finally ,the white half moon and the sun represents the purity. It also says "As long as there are sun and moon in the universe, no one could harm the independent existence of Nepal".

The nature

Last summer, I did something awesome!!! I always wanted to do something adventerous and exciting. So I went for a Trekking accompanied with my father and some tourist from australia.

We spend a couple days in Pokhara( remember the place which i mentioned in my previous bolg?) enjoying various lakes, mountains and caves.Then we started the actual adventure thing for which we were there. We went on exploring various hills, water-falls, hills,vegetations,different people and different faces of nature. I had never been so close to nature which made me forget all of my exhaustion. I saw the divine beauty of nature which i had never imagined. We even enjoyed the sun rise from a hill( from a hill named poon hill) which filled everyone of us with new hope and life. We enjoyed the differnt kinds of birds in the hills and the scenic beauty.

Then afterwards, my father and the team went for the mountainous region which is in quiet high altitude and unfortunately my mom did not allow me. I returned home feeling bad but I had an adventure,a new experience and also a new perspective for life that i gained being so close to nature.

My father and the team had wonderful time and they showed me lots of pictures( and i have shared one of them here) which has attract me and has shown again a different face of nature. I wish I could go there soon. The most important thing I learned from my adventurous trip is that there is another world need to be explore and learn . It is really beautiful than our technological world;the real world of nature.

My Biggest Festival

I am missing my biggest festival which is going on now and must be celebrating by all of my people,friends and family in my country. It is celebrated for 15 days but the 1oth day is the grand finale which last for 5 days more.We worshipp our God and Goddess for whole 9 days and celebrate with full enthusiam. The climate at this festival is awesome at my home country. The clear blue sky filled with colorful kites, the warm sun, the refreshing wind,singing birds, blooming flowers all over the place are some of the specialities of this festival. It festival reunites whole family members,relatives and friends. We recive TIKA ( something to put on the forehead made of up raw rice and color;red ) from our elder which is symbol of their blessing to us. We visit each and every elder person of our family and relatives.We have huge feast with all family members,friends and relatives throughout the festival.We have varieties of foods,sweets and specially various mouth-watering pickles during the entire festival.

Talking about its importance,it depicts a story of our god at ancient time.It simply resembels the victory of truth over evil. It is the biggest festival celebrated by all Hindus. We even have some special ceremony and rituals at some of our important temples.
