A diary 16th Dec 2005

Well this is a flash back of the situation in Nepal or precise to say in Bhaktapur. This diary is set on the Contrary of clashes due to killing spree of 12 peoples in Nagarkot.

I got up with the echoing sounds of peoples in my house. Ahh! the clashes are still going on. Today was Yomari Pune.

Yomari pune is a small festival in Newari families. In the day we cook delicious Yomaris. The name Yomari comes from two Nepal Bhasa words, “yo” meaning “to like” and “mari” meaning “delicacy”. Yomari is made of rice flour and has sweet substances like chaku(i don’t know the English synonym) inside it. Just look at the pic..

On the Suryabinayak site stone war is going on, however we are safe on the Durbar Square Area till now. I had to go to my nursery in Suryabinayak. That wasn’t a tough thing to do eventhough there was fight there, instead we were excited to watch the fight with police. So I with my brother went to our Nursery. We were inspecting the plants and watering them. Then suddenly some groups of teens came running inside our nursery, to our surprise, police were behind them. OMG, I could not think what to do. I am of the teen age and i though the police are going to catch me too. So I went inside the Green House. Soon most of those boys were caught. Police were going to catch my brother too, he said that he was not one of them. But the police didn’t listen to him, so at once he jumped to the bars, broke them out and ran off.

Well now i was like all alone inside the small Green House. I though to escape through the green house and i did so through the back. My hands had been all muddy and immediately a police came to me and hit me on my arm, AWW! that was so painful. I told them that i was not the boys running from, i was working in the Nursery. Then the police asked me to show my hand, I had a muddy hand so he belived me and left me. Same time another police came and tried to beat me but the noble police stopped him. From then I was safe with the police but still that one hit on the arm was very painful.

I kept quite watching the scenes. One of which i saw were two small kids, may be of 10 and 8. The police tried to catch them. The police got the small kid however the bigger kid ran off leaving a police man on grounds. That was a little funny scene. But it was not so funny with the big boys. If they were caught they were brutally beaten up.

Well with small pain i went home. The Yomari was waiting for me there. I enjoyed the whole evening with the Yomari. This day would be really memorable.

A starting of a new blog

Hey you all! I am Ruchan, from Nepal. I am studying at grade 11. I am a web designer and I do some programming with asp too. This is my first personal blog and a first blog on wordpress. I previously blogged with blogger and found wordpress has more to offer than blogger.

So in this blog i am going to write about me and my experiences. I would also be talking about the festivals in Nepal, how we celebrate them and some details.

I will be updating my blog at least 1 days in a week. Keep on viewing my blog and thank you.
