Banda, as usual has crippled life. Few people don’t care and teenagers who get break from school actually enjoy it, but most people and the country as a whole is suffering. However, some are luckier than others. Those who are affiliated to Maoist are free of Banda related hassles faced by ordinary public. Yesterday, I was travelling to my friend’s house and saw a vehicle with a red banner with Banda Anugaman (Banda Survey) written into it. People all over the country are forced to renounce the vehicle even in emergency situations but these morons needed vehicles to survey their Banda. I read similar stories in daily newspapers. A group of Pro-Maoist lawyers used a bus for their election campaign to travel from Mahendranager to Nepalgunj. All business is on downward slide but shooting of movie Kishaan (Farmer) was allowed to continue without any trouble because its been directed by Pro-Maoist director. Morality has never been an ally for Nepalese Politicians and now Maoists are hitting new low.
On personal side, I am enjoying my stay. Every day is weekend. I wake up when I feel like waking up. Drink few rounds of Tea while reading different newspapers in sun. Spend time with friends and close relatives. Go around town with old mates. It might sound boring as daily routine but its great fun if you do it only for a month in every two years.

Home -1
Guys,
So u thought I was lost? I truly was. I missed blogging all those days but never quite started writing after the break. May be it had to do with “Mental Inertia”. Something special was needed to wake me from my slumber and my travel to home provided exactly that.
Flight so far has been nice. I thought 14 hours flight from San Francisco to Hong Kong would be little tiring but it wasn’t too bad after all. This is my first time in Hong Kong Airport and I like it. After coming here I am online and enjoying noodles, Muffins and Green Tea. I especially liked the green tea. The flavor is quite different from what I used to drink.
I have “The Warren Buffet Way” as my travel companion. I am onto third chapter but I doubt, I will finish it on the way. Its an interesting read. I also watched couple movies onboard. “Transformers 2” may easily be one of the worst movies I have watched in quite some time. Second Movie of the night was “Julie and Julia” and I am glad I chose to watch it. It turned out to be really nice movie. Meryl Streep is always nice, Amy Adams is impressive too. I plan to read The Julie/Julia Project for the rest of the day.
I also tried to get some sleep but to no avail. It didn’t make much difference though; with eyes open or closed I am able to see only one thing – HOME
