Maya Di ,A Hidden Star

I had been consulting my Maya didi for multiple stories and she starts her story of God Shivaji ,the katha of Lord Shiva and her fasting during festivals.It is  really interesting to hear her social works around Bhaktapur areas and her extreme dedication to locality,she spent her most of the time in family settings,business and promotion of womanhood nearby and I just love her pictures associating about her personal life .

I do not remember her ever saying that something was delicious, or licking her fingers after scraping something tasty from the bottom of the pan. She made no effort to teach my sister or me to cook. In the name of self-sufficiency, we once included a knitting pattern on the centre spread and were completely taken aback when the phone started ringing and women kept ordering more copies of the pattern. But cooking, in our minds, was wholly frivolous and politically dangerous, an activity that represented everything we were trying to change.

She kept on narrating west Nepal she spent and her journey with kids and I love the narration ,her stories of Mugling food items,bus services,Ambukhairani Stops and the business part of west Nepal were informative as they gave the ideas to visit those areas in need.At the age of fourteen she got married and kept on doing business for family and still she stands as local leader in Bhaktapur.She has deliberate skills of livelihood and earning at home based jobs and I loved her daily guidance.

Her narrative  forces you to delve into the specific emotions tied to a particular event, giving you a chance to revisit strong feelings. Her each word about an important event also helps you recall even the minute details, ensuring that you will remember it for years to come.You love sisterhood and enjoy your life fully.
