7 things you might face if you are a Nepali born in Kartik

If you are a Nepali born in the month of Kartik (October 18 - November 16), then you might have probably come across these things.

1.       Which month are you born?
“Which month are you born?”
-          Kartik
“Eh! Kattike po?” Digest the sarcasm. Ha-ha!

2.       Your birthday might fall on the day of Kukur Tihar!
No. 1 was the general kind-of-funny gesture from the people. More kind-of-funnier is when you have your birthday on Kukur Tihar and you get wishes with a little bit of extra funny words added on facebook wall.



I personally feel that all those who are born in Kartik get their birthday on this very Kukur Tihar at least once in a life. I love dogs, I don’t feel bad. J

Moreover, I have already witnessed that ‘day’ four years back. Best thing about that was I had quite a memorable birthday that year, thanks to my friends who surprised me on a midnight with a ‘Happy Birthday’ cake.

3.        Wait, you have other days too!
If Kukur Tihar makes you feel bad (which you should not – Dogs are friends), you might also get your birthdays on some auspicious days like Dashami (Dashain-Tika Day) or Bhaitika or Laxmi Puja or Mahanawami. [Not to mention Kaag Tihar and Goru Tihar! J]

There is a chance, at least once in a life.

These mean double celebrations. Enjoy.

I was actually born on the day of Mahanawami. After having birthday on Kukur Tihar, I had my next two on Dashami and Bhaitika.


4.       No treat-giving, may be!
Since your birthday might fall on or in between Dashain and Tihar i.e. in a vacation, you may not be giving a treat to your friends on your born-day. Conditions applied though.

No treat given equals No gifts received. Mind it.

5.       Don’t worry if your birthday is forgotten!
(Again) Since your birthday might fall on festive season, your relatives and friends might forget your

birthday, considering festival a reason. [But not by parents, very less chance of this!]

Do not worry because Facebook is always there. Facebook is a reminder app.

Even if not in festive period, only handful of people will remember your birthday without being reminded from facebook.

6.       Lucky
According to the chali-aayeko-chalan or bhanidai-aayeko-kathan, you are Lucky! Yes, Kattikes are supposedly lucky ones. If you feel you are lucky, it is true and if you don’t, it is NOT. Keep it simple.

Was Laxmi Prasad Devkota lucky or our late Queen Aishwarya?

7.       Do you have smelling power?
This might sound creepy but I kinda have a tendency of having a smell of things faster than fellow people do and a habit of taking a smell of most of the new things (including foods). I call it my smelling power that I got when I was born in Kartik. Ha-ha!

So, do you fall in the same bowl? Or, do you think similar about the ones in that bowl? Feel free to comment.

Rasuwa Reminders: The Shades of Nature

Image
Two years ago, while I was working in a remote village Mailung of Rasuwa district, I had hardly thought that those Rasuwa days would stay fresh in the reminiscences for many years to come. Honestly, the photos that I had captured are the main reason behind this. Whenever I look at those in my gadgets, all the things related to it start to float in the mind. No, I don't get into nostalgia, but it is more like the feeling of something good, something that I have experienced and am happy for.  There were more bitter feelings then but when I think of it today, it was actually good for I got to learn many things, experience many things - mainly: adjustment and tolerance capacity. Well, of different pieces of stuff to remember, I mostly recall its natural beauty.  It is not that drop-dead gorgeous place, neither it has abundance of breath-taking scenery. It is but just a small village, quite a remote area even though not very far from the capital city. When I first arrived ther

Rasuwa Reminders: The Works

Image
It was my first professional job, a fresh graduate, and to be honest, I was not that good at my work. The sad truth is that the education we get here doesn't make us fully prepared in the practical field when the college is over. The certificate helps, so does the theoretical knowledge; but the most essential of all is the adequate practical knowledge that is always lacking in our educational system. On the other hand, this also depends on the students themselves. This is whole another topic to talk about. Not today. I did many mistakes. I got scolded by the seniors. I learned. There were fellow colleagues and few seniors those were helpful. I had quite an experience. Less sweet and more sour. I don't know if it adds to my nature or counts as my weakness on the work front or something else, I was always more interested in the stuff like nature, people, their stories, etc than the usual job-stuffs. If only that could actually pay me.... Ha-ha.. No worries, though. Thank g
