Harka Gurung once said, in his vignette of nepal, not verbatim, 

       nepaalamaa chhadaa bideshko chahana, bideshama chhada nepalko tirsana.

jhalakka herda talakka talkyo pokhara fewataal.

samjhi lyauda bujhi lyauda yo sansarai mayajaal.

I miss Teej. Dashai. Tihar. Trekking. Everest. Muktinath. Manakamana. Eating chanachatpate from an old Madhesi man (if I ever said anything nasty to him, I hope he will forgive me) who sold chanachatpate to support his family. Just laughing among familiar faces. Feeling that the whole country is yours. 

When I was in Nepal, I didn't know my relationship with other Nepali men who were hardworking (like those bhariya near Galkopakha). Today I feel such affinity whenever there is a news of banda, I remember them.

kasto desha banaaechhana hamra purkhaharule..birsana kati garo...
