03:24 year 2068 in a country far away


Now I have two followers, a 100 % improvement in just on day :)

Slow day in our town. Year 2068 drags on. The Nepali calender is different, have to find out why this is. Different times of year also means different recommended auspicious activities. Getting married during the monsoon is for example not recommended but there are two other times during the year when the astrologer have decided are good, and a number of marriages taking place during this time. Sometimes they start during the night. Or at 03:24 if the stars indicated that this would give you a good start of your marriage.

Or didi(chef and cleaning lady that likes to boss us around)is from the Tharu community, a large ethnic group here in the south of Nepal. She probably did not have much to say about the time of her marriage because when we asked her if she wanted children she only said that she had her first child at fifteen because her husband wanted it. Now, a grandmother before she has reached 40 I wonder about her younger 13 year old daugher and her future. How different from the young kids running around back home in Sweden.
