As pathetic as this may sound, I can't think of anything special I am doing for Dasain. Some people I know have been getting together regularly for cards and drinks but I guess I have been turning down invitations of late. I did go to one or two gatherings at a friends place but all the gambling started getting on to me and I decided this wasn't my cup of chiya. I would have loved to be in Nepal now - I am sure I would have had a different story to tell. What about you Hush, what's special for you this Dashain?
