Meanwhile, at Funky Buddha Tattoo shop, the ink keeps going.
Portraits pass, mam, wife, kid, grandparents get etched in the skin.
Trees and roots keep on growing.
And Shiva sings Om Mane Padme Om...

Teej
Teej is here. The women festival.
Once a year the women wear their best saris, fast, and dance for Shiva.

Temples of red stones gets filled with shiny fabrics,
all floating in the air, to the move of the dance and music.
It's a good day to be a woman in nepal,
all floating in the air, to the move of the dance and music.
It's a good day to be a woman in nepal,
When young and old meet and share.
Teej is here.

Enjoy the dance.
Beauty Queen
Standing in front of Black Bairav,
Drunken Shiva, protector god of nepal,
the beauty queen redoes her hair.

The dori, traditional nepale dance,
One hand in the air,
Twirling and turning.

Waiting
Pujas: religious offering to the gods.
The leaf plates are filled with bananas, incens, red powder, a candle
and a flower for color.
The gods will be happy.

Sunday breakfast
J'aime bien le petit dejeuner du dimanche, le simple et classique. 2 oeufs, des patates, toast, beurre et confiture et puis bien sure la tasse de cafe ou de the.
Je me le fais souvent ce petit dejeuner. C'est comme un rituel que je me suis fabrique: le petit dejeuner du dimanche. Ca me rapelle un peu les Etats Unis, avec les oeufs patates pour tit dej; Les francais sont plutot croissants et cereales. Et puis c'est dimanche, et j'aime bien prendre mon dimanche, une journee flemarde, une journee ou je ne laisse rien m'embeter.
La photo, c'est un de mes petits dejeuners preferes a Kathmandou, au Funky Buddha restaurant dans Thamel. J'aime bien le jardin, et puis tout est bon. Pas de pain blanc, mais une bonne tranche de pain au pumkin, et une confiture faire maison, a la pomme ou bien au fruits rouge.
Ah, l'Art de prendre son temps en flemassant...un grand art...
