In keeping the tradition of sending something home to Kathmandu during dashai, I was looking at several websites offering gift delivery. Few interesting items under consideration 1. Ipod for my grandmother so she can listen to bhajan and raag all day and night. Price tag of $450 plus for a $250 item. Another site's price 549.99 I could probably send it by DHL for 40 bucks. It's a rip off by any standard. Friends and family of online shops please spare us from your lame excuses for this one. 2.Dishwasher for $650. Does it include water? Heard water is pretty scarce unless you have some servants running back and forth from bagmati carrying water in gagri. 3. Dashai Black boka for $91.46. How on earth do you get to that price including the cents? Another site is selling a khasi for $151 with FREE digital photo confirmation. I am sure my family would be more than thrilled to pose for a photograph with a goddamn boka or a khasi. I can imagine one of Deep's character sayin.. kasto muu... boka 4. Bhaley for $19. The photo confirmation again is a damn funny concept. Haha I can imagine my sister looking all over the bhaley to see if it has a "made in usa" tag 5. A gift of 10,000 rupees costs 12,000 rupees. You do the math. Ironically on the same page they are advertising "Free money transfer". I bet it's the dashain surcharge. Feel free to add more. If I see any more worth sharing i'll be baaaaaack
