A moment's nostalgia for the Nepal of my childhood

Vuttro_jasto,

Great memories. Ok what you wrote brought some more memories.

Playing langur burja, gutcha (marbles), cheating at playing taas (cards), playing kowra during Bhai Tika, beautifying the house and putting white 'footprints' during the house for Laxmi Puja, driving around Kathmandu during Laxmi Puja to see the whole city lit up.

Yes definitely, playing bhaisi. Flying kite and yelling all kinds of nonsense to the other kite flyers "Teen dharke changa ko dhago chhod!" Ha ha ha. Thanks for reminding of this.

Playing gatta with my cousin sisters. Playing that game were you made a circle in the dust and spun a top in it wth a thread...trying to knock the other guy's top out of the circle.

What is that game where you tie a rock to a string and throw it in a circle and try to break the other guy's string?

Of course playing Seven Stone, where you stack 7 stones and try to knock it off. And then play 'sekai' where you try to hit the people from the other team as hard as you can with a rubber ball :-) Good times!
