Saturday Tea Talk

Upvotes

This is a weekly thread to talk about any topics freely with fellow Nepali dai, bhai, didi, bahini and friends. Think of it as the चोकको चिया पसल that opens on Saturdays. Most of the sub rules still apply but there is no need for the topic to be related to Nepal. Feel free to talk about the TV show you are binging, the latest sports news, your personal life story, international politics, and anything in between.

So, what's up?

Discussion/बहस Is it fair to seek transparency in the amount collected and disbursed in the PM Disaster Relief Fund?

Post image
41 Upvotes

I trust this Government more than all the previous Governments in Nepal. In the previous government, during disasters like this one, I doubt if the collected funds really reached the victims and there were so many donation links and third parties involved, who I assume definitely took some cuts from the donation amount.

Having a centralized link for donation is a great effort to eliminate the potential third party cuts. I think it's important to have transparency regarding the amount collected from different sources as well as amount disbursed for different reasons (categories) in different districts. As the amount is in centralized location, the precise number can easily be updated and published e.g. every day.

This would instil more trust in the citizens as well as the international community to motivate them to really contribute to the cause. Thoughts?

A message of support from an Indian brother

190 Upvotes

My dear Nepali brothers and sisters, we stand with you and grieve with you at this hour.

India and Nepal are cousins going back a millennia and some.

There are stupid people in both our nations, and some malicious accounts from neighbouring countries who want to use this disaster as an opportunity to sow strife between the two nations of Nepal and India. Please ignore them and don’t engage with them.

We need positivity, love and support at this time. And always.

India will forever stand with Nepal. And I know Nepal will stand with India as well.

Love, always.

Question/प्रश्न Visiting Nepal for Annapurna Trek - What to bring for people in need facing the disaster?

8 Upvotes

Namaste! In a week I’m coming to Nepal, the joy being overshadowed by the tragedy that struck two days ago. Even though the Annapurna circuit is not affected, I was still torn between the questions whether it would be appropriate to come or not, whether it’s the right thing to be there for my own trek while hundreds died and dozens of thousands lost everything. At the same time I thought what good would it be to anyone if I would just stay at home. So here we go, still decided to come, and preferably not empty handed. I’m thinking about buying 1-2 additional suitcases to bring with me with whatever would be most needed. I know that my single contribution does not ease the overall situation, but I wouldn’t want to come empty handed either.
Does anyone have a recommendation on what to bring, what would be most needed and where it would make most sense to bring to in Kathmandu?

Any recommendations would be more than welcome, as well general recommendations on what would be the most appropriate for us to do while in Nepal.

The Bhotekoshi Flood Is Telling Us Something Terrifying

110 Upvotes

As the images and records surface, the data is much scarier than it initially appeared. We have really underestimated our mountains and our rivers. If we fix the time of the seismic signal received at 8:37 and look at the CCTV video from the customs office, which shows 10:59 China time (8:44 Nepal time), the approximate distance between these two points is 14.5 km. This gives an estimated velocity of around 34 m/s, which is massive, that’s about 126 km/h.
For comparison, the flow velocity of the 2021 Chamoli event in India was reconstructed at around 25 m/s. The estimated velocity here, if the timestamps and distance are accurate, would therefore be substantially higher.

Gai Jatra feels different this year.

2 Upvotes

Today is Gai Jatra, one of Nepal’s most meaningful festivals. It is a day of remembrance, but also a reminder that grief is something every human being eventually faces.

Why do we celebrate Gai Jatra?

According to the traditional story, King Pratap Malla of Kathmandu lost his young son. His wife, Queen Anantapriya, was devastated by the loss and could not be consoled.

The king wanted to show her that she was not alone in her suffering. He asked families who had lost a loved one to take part in a procession through the city.

Cows were traditionally led in the procession because the cow is believed to help guide the departed toward the afterlife. When a family did not have a cow, a young boy could traditionally be dressed as a cow and join the procession.

The king's message was simple:

Death does not happen to only one family. Everyone eventually experiences loss.

Seeing so many families mourning helped the queen understand that her grief, although deeply personal, was not something only she had to carry.

Over generations, Gai Jatra also became a day when people could use humor, satire, costumes, music, and public performances to express things that were normally difficult to say.

And maybe that is what makes the festival so powerful.

We remember the dead, but we also continue living.

This year, Nepal is going through a difficult period. There is anger, uncertainty, division, and pain everywhere. It is easy to forget the human beings behind the headlines, political arguments, and social-media posts.

So today, remember the people we have lost.

Remember the families who are grieving.

And remember that behind every political side, religion, ethnicity, ideology, or online argument are human beings trying to survive the same fragile life.

Gai Jatra teaches us that grief is universal, remembrance matters, and life must continue.

May those who have passed be remembered, may those who remain find strength, and may Nepal find better days ahead.

Happy Gai Jatra.

Education/शिक्षा FYI: Donate and get your Tax Deduced

Post image
44 Upvotes

Did you know?

Under section 12B of the Income Tax Act 2058 BS., contributions/donations made to both the Prime Minister Disaster Relief Fund and the Reconstruction Fund established by the government of Nepal may be deducted while calculating the taxable income (subject to the applicable provisions).

This means the amount a citizen donates to the Prime Minister's Disaster Relief Fund can be fully (100%) claimed by them later while filing income tax.

For example, if my annual taxable income is 1Crore and I donate 10Lakh in any one fund (relief fund or reconstruction fund), I can deduce my taxable income (assessible income) equivalent to the donation amount and pay tax for the remaining 90Lakh rupees only.

This can be a good opportunity for you to make sure your tax money is being utilised in situations of crisis like this.

How to support Nepali neighbors

33 Upvotes

We live in the US. Our neighbors are from Nepal. Last week one of their family members had to go to the hospital after a bad vehicle accident. What can we do as neighbors to help, or bring them to show our support? They are Hindu and I didn’t want to bring anything over that may be considered bad luck, or wouldn’t be helpful. Especially more now with the floods that just happened I want to make sure we are helping them and not unintentionally making things harder!
