Nawami - da' 9th Day

Today is Nawami, the 9th day of Dashai. On the 9th day, there is a puja of the vehicles and all the machineryz we use. and datz wat we did too as you can see on the picture below. Some people give sacrifices to the vehicles as an offering for protection but we don't. We just bust open a coconut as an offering to the vehicles. Then went out and the streets were deserted except in around Basantapur. There was a huge cue to see the new Kumari [Living Goddess].





Well my mom wanted to donate a few things to the Old Age Home [Bridha Ashram], she had seen on television. So, took my mom and mi grandma to the place in Rabhi Bhawan. They are currently housing 25 women who had been neglected and left on the street. The lady there gave them shelter and if you want to help them out you can alwyz send me an email info@nirnaya.com.np . Here are some of the pictures of the women there and the lady who's housing them.







Well, a sad news today, a Yeti Airlines plane crashed in the morning. Everyone aroun 16-18ppl passed away except the pilot who survived the crash. May the lost onez soul rest in peace.
Well datz it fo' today. Till tomorrow. PEACE.

Nirnaya,

Its quite sad how old citizens are treated... there is no social security for them and even if there is a system of pensions, wonder what happens to it... might be taken away and also do u know that the government has extended social security for widows of mere 500 rs per month. Such information should be shared and the government should be pressurized. My family members do the same by offering support. Let me know how I can be of some Help!

Post dasain happiness!
