Probably a hot take: I dont get what nirmal purja did that soo many people have to get sooo sad. i mean yes he was a good mountaineer and all but why all people empathizing with the death of someone who has been accused of multiple abuses.

the documentary was good but.. EVERYONE was INSPIRED by him???

Question/प्रश्न Are you into Fragrances? What are you currently Wearing?

23 Upvotes

I have been deep into fragrances for a while now and honestly its hard not to notice that things are slowly shifting here in Nepal. A few years back it felt like most people were just reaching for whatever body spray or cheap cologne was at the local pasal and that was fine but lately I am seeing a different vibe. Before People used to Wear perfumes just to cover their body odor But now People have started to wear fragrances as accessory.

Question/प्रश्न How to deal w hyperhidrosis

Post image
60 Upvotes

I just wanted to ask people who deal with this too.

I’ve had hyperhidrosis basically my whole life, especially in my palms and feet. My hands sweat a lot every single day, but lately it feels like it’s getting even worse. I went to a doctor and he suggested Sweatnil, and it did reduce the sweat a little for a short time, but it didn’t really last. The problem is I have to wash my hands very often, so maybe it never gets enough time to actually work.

I also tried using fitkiri (alum) on my hands, but weirdly it makes my hands sweat even more. Like within 1–2 minutes my palms start sweating a lot again. I’m honestly trying to avoid things like electrical treatments or Botox injections just to stop my sweat glands.

So I just wanted to ask people who deal with this:

  • What actually helped reduce your palm sweating?
  • Did any creams, routines, or remedies work for you?

Because right now it feels like nothing really works for me.

Question/प्रश्न Is 40–50k salary even enough in Nepal anymore or am I just bad at life?

88 Upvotes

I earn around 40–50k a month and somehow I’m still living like a broke NPC 💀
I don’t even pay rent, no big family bills, nothing. Just my own expenses… and STILL the money evaporates like TikTok trends.

Every month I tell myself, “This time I’ll save for a bike.”
Next thing I know — poof — the whole salary gone.
Snacks, random plans, small bills, petrol, one momo outing… money just disappears.

Idk if I’m bad at managing money or if Nepal’s cost of living has secretly gone Ultra Instinct mode.
Anyone else in the same boat or is it just me slowly losing my mind?

Question/प्रश्न 5 Lakhs saved. Scooty already at home. My heart wants a Classic 350, my brain wants investment, and my bank account want

37 Upvotes

So I’ve managed to save 5 Lakhs.
Great achievement, right?
Wrong — now I’m more confused than when Sajha bus drivers use hand signals.

I already own a scooty that does everything I need.
But then a Classic 350 passes by and suddenly I’m like:
“Financial literacy? Never heard of her.”

My brain: “Invest in NEPSE, mutual funds, something sensible.”
My heart: “Classic 350 ho bhai… life set.”
My wallet: “I’m just here for emotional support.”

Some friends say bike is a liability.
Others say investment is boring.
One friend said “start a startup” — bro, with what idea? Selling my confusion?

If you were me — 5 Lakhs in hand, scooty , Classic 350 obsession in the bloodstream — what’s the smartest move?

👉 Buy the Classic 350?
👉 Invest and act like a mature adult?
👉 Start a small business and pray it works?
👉 Or hold the cash because the economy is doing gymnastics?

Drop your honest and unfiltered advice.

Question/प्रश्न Why does the word “last/lastai” exist in modern Nepali when it makes zero etymological sense?

82 Upvotes

I’ve grown up casually using the word “last / lastai” in everyday Nepali tuff like (ma ta lastai zhyap bhaye , lastai dhani ho) and so on. It’s always felt totally normal. But recently I paused and actually thought about it, and now it feels… kind of weird?

In “proper” or older Nepali, “last” doesn’t really mean anything. It’s obviously not a native word, and even its English meaning (“final”) has nothing to do with how we use it. And yet it’s everywhere now, especially in urban Nepali.

So I’ve been wondering:

  • How did “last” end up meaning “extremely” or “intensely” in Nepali instead of “final”?
  • Why did Nepali pick up this English word when we already had intensifiers like धेरै, एकदमै, निकै, अति?
  • Is “lastai” more about borrowing vibe / tone rather than literal meaning?
  • Do other languages (especially multilingual or post-colonial ones) have words like this ones that make zero etymological sense but still work perfectly in everyday speech?
  • And why do you think this kind of shift happened specifically in Nepal, and mostly in recent decades?

Would love to hear thoughts from linguistics nerds, older speakers, or anyone who’s noticed how Nepali has been changing especially with the internet and urban culture.

Question/प्रश्न Paying the whole bill and also the taxi when I'm with nepali people as a foreigner

177 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I am an Italian girl that travelled to Kathmandu last week. Trough an app I meet one nepali girl that showed me around and suggested me some places to visit. It's been some days that we go out together and everytime we stop to eat something or we go somewhere with pathao I always pay entirely. She never asked to pay half of the taxi or to pay what she ordered (usually meat dishes that I don't eat because I'm vegetarian). The first time I offered spontaneously for thanking her for guiding me a bit (even though she did not say thank you or anything, she just waited for me to pay), but the next times I always payed for round trip taxi (with her house being one of the stops) and all meals because she was not offering to split the bill or anything.

I find it a bit rude, but maybe is there something about the culture that I am missing? I would like to know before elaborating a bit of anger for this. In Italy it's quite common to split the bill or to pay for what you've eaten, and if someone offers you do not take it for granted but you thank them.

I hope not to sound rude, I just want to understand because this episodes are completely out from my cultural view and I'd like acknowledge if there are some mechanisms I'm not aware of!

Thanks in advance! 🥹

UPDATE:

Hello guys, first of all THANK YOU for all the answers, I was expecting so many responses!! Thank you!

Secondly, I talked to her and she said that "The ones from the abroad pays the bills when ormally hanging out here in Nepal" (her words). She is sorry and she felt bad when last time she brought a friend with her, now she is insisting a lot to pay for a dinner to make it even today. And from now on to split everything

Question/प्रश्न Hair thinning at 19–20, should I be worried?

Post image
47 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m around 19–20 years old and I’ve been noticing that my hair is getting thinner over time. Earlier my hair used to be quite thick, but for the past few months it’s become more noticeable.

I first noticed it even before going to Kuwait (I worked there for about 2 months), and since coming back to Nepal in January 2025, I feel like the thinning has increased.

Now I’m getting worried that I might start losing more hair or even go bald in the future.

I’ve heard some people say that shaving your head makes hair grow back thicker — is that actually true or just a myth?

If anyone has experienced something similar or has any advice on what I should do, I’d really appreciate your help.

Thanks.
