I miss screaming "Ayo Ayo" "Ayene Ayena jaali jaali ayo" at my father who would be fixing antenna at the top of the roof to get better TV reception.

I miss watching Barbapapa that NTV boroadcasted.
I miss those days when we would be making pocket money selling "khali sisi purana kagaz falam ko tukra" to the madhesi
I miss watching my mother and sister bargaining the price of tarkari with the madhesi who used to bring it around in a budo cycle.
I miss listening to nepali pop song, especially crossroads first album, touch 1 album with various artist etc.
I miss those friday nights when we would all finish up dinner to watch antakshari, philips top 10 and zee horror show.
I miss those Sunday nights when Nepal TV show that would air knightrider, street hawk, air wolf, flash, auto man, MI5, dempsey and makepeace.
I miss those winter holiday sun basking session with badam and suntala and bhogatey.
I miss hanging around the top floor of Super market, drinking tea, smoking churot and talking with friends for hours.
I miss going to bakery cafe in new road because my friend's crush was going to be there with her friend gang of friends and neither of us having enough money to order anything from their menu.
I miss akash bhairab momo cha, tip top samosa, eden garden restaurent.
I miss those days when I used to buy pirated cassettes, musical albums, from stores that would have album cover made of photo they took of the original cover....
