Thank you, so much!
My naughty daughter asked- ‘Dad, which day is today? Which Nepali date is today? Do you think today is some thing special?’ she was considering me as a careless guy- “lethargic dad, even don’t know own birthday!”

Observing growing “birth day” culture, this question disturbs me time to time.
Some 48 years ago on May 30th while I came to this earth, what my parents had dreamt about me? This question I never got chance to ask with my mum, because I left her at the age of 5 and stayed with her mother, my maternal granny.

It was typical social behaviour of villagers of those times in Nepal. I still remember my maternal grandma, who nourished me to grow, had chuckled as saying- “I would perhaps die before witnessing lovely conversation between these two- the father & the son!”
