World Wetlands Day: Ramsar Sites in Nepal and What is Special about them.

Image
  World Wetlands Day: Ramsar Sites in Nepal and What is Special about them. On 2 February every year we are reminded by World Wetlands Day of the existence of ecosystems that silently promote life but hardly ever get the attention it warrants. Wetlands are not only water bodies but also living systems that sustain the community and protect against floods, regulate the climate and sustain livelihoods. In a country such as Nepal, where the geography is low floodplains on the lowland and high lakes on the Himalayas, wetlands are especially important. World Wetlands Day is celebrated on the day of signing the Ramsar Convention in 1971 that is a global agreement and promotes the conservation and the wise use of wetlands. In 1988 Nepal signed as a signatory and currently has ten international Ramsar Sites. These wetlands can be consider as ecological diversity, cultural heritage and the traditional relationships between nature and local communities. Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve ...

New girl in the city, main Ayesha Banerjee New girl in the city, I’m Ayesha Banerjee

  New girl in the city, main Ayesha Banerjee New girl in the city, I’m Ayesha Banerjee New girl in the city… I’m Ayesha Banerjee. Like thousands of people, I came to this city with dreams packed along with my luggage. The biggest of them was to become a writer. When I was asked to write this column, it felt like my dream had finally come true. But even after trying many times, I couldn’t write what was truly in my heart. What could I possibly say about this city that hadn’t already been said? So, the night before the submission, I tore up my article and started writing again. In just two months, I had fallen in love with this city. It began to feel like it was mine. My exciting new job… my small flat… my independence… What had the city really given me? The answer had actually been in front of me for a long time — I just hadn’t recognized it. On my very first night here, I met a boy — a friend, a roommate, a companion… whatever you want to call him. He was completely different from...

Cooking as Therapy: How Nepali Women Preserved Culture Through Food, Mindfulness, and Healing

Image
 In Nepal, food has never been just about survival. It has been a quiet language of care, resilience, and wisdom—most lovingly carried by women. Across generations, Nepali women have preserved culture not only through rituals and stories, but through everyday cooking. In the hearth, the kitchen, and the courtyard, food became therapy long before the word existed πŸƒπŸ”₯. For Nepali women, cooking was often a responsibility, but it also became a refuge. In lives shaped by labor, expectation, and emotional restraint, the act of preparing food offered grounding, rhythm, and meaning. It was a form of stress management woven seamlessly into daily life. The Kitchen as a Space of Mindfulness 🧘‍♀️ Traditional Nepali cooking is slow by nature. Washing rice by hand, grinding spices on a silauto, fermenting gundruk, waiting patiently for dal to soften—each step demands attention. This slowness invited presence. Women learned to breathe with the process. Cooking became a daily meditation, anc...

Cooking: The Therapy of Life — A Love Letter from a Big Foodie

Image
 There are days when words feel heavy and silence feels loud. On those days, I return to the kitchen. Not to escape life, but to meet it gently. Cooking, for me, is not just about feeding hunger; it is about holding life with both hands. It is therapy in its most honest form—warm, slow, and deeply human 🍲🀍. For many men, cooking becomes a rare space where the world stops demanding and starts listening. In the quiet rhythm of chopping onions, in the soft crackle of oil meeting spices, something inside begins to soften. The kitchen turns into a place where strength is not about control, but about care. Stress Relief 🍳 There is something sacred about repetition. The knife rises and falls, steam dances upward, and time loosens its grip. Cooking pulls the mind away from worry and places it firmly in the present. Stress does not disappear suddenly—it melts, slowly, like butter in a warm pan. Creativity 🎨 A true foodie knows that recipes are suggestions, not rules. A pinch more s...
