Talked to my family for hours today. Its festival time in Nepal, and this is the fifth Dashain I have been away from home. Festivals are more meaningful when you are together with your family. My family miss me so much during these festivals, they perhaps miss me more every year - it makes me miss them even more. :(

How long have you been away from home ? What do you guys miss the most about Dashain? Does the fact that your family miss you more during these times make you feel even worse?
