Ever wondered what separates us Nepalese from all other nationalities? It has to do with our approach to life and how we carry on with it. We are simple beings with highly satisfiable desires. Our lifestyle revolves around a laid-back attitude which we are innocently proud of. Here are ten things that every Nepalese would relate to:
Momo will forever be your favorite food
No matter where you go, which restaurant you visit, and how much you browse the menu, in the end when the waiter comes to take your order your answer will always and undoubtedly include Momo. After all, Momo is the king of the heart when it comes to food.
Your source of news is ‘Routine of Nepal Banda’
‘Bholi banda re!’ Whenever you hear these words from any one of your friends or family, the first thing you check is the Facebook profile of ‘Routine of Nepal Banda.’ If Routine of Nepal Banda says it’s Banda then well it’s officially ‘Banda,’ no questions asked.

‘Chiya Pasal’ is a place where wisdom flows
The tea-joint in your locality is where the most wisdom you will find.

As they say, every revolution begins at a Chiya Pasal.

Being in love is a beautiful feeling but when you’re Nepalese being in love is equally petrifying. Your relationship is your biggest secret. While your friends may know about it, there’s no way you will tell your family simply because of the fear that they might not accept it.
