A 'virtual' Maita on Teej

"Life in other countries is not as expected," she said, "it is difficult to manage time".

She said that since many Nepalis have been abroad, they used to gather in Australia and have fun. She said that since the parents of Nepali artists and friends will come to Australia, they can have fun as a family. Sita, the mother of the

creator, said that even a daughter gets hurt if she doesn't come to a festival like Teej . She told that she called her daughter early in the morning to congratulate her as Thursday was the day to eat. She said that even when calling, she could not speak for a long time as her daughter had gone to work. "I went there three times after celebrating the festival and came back, I went there because they couldn't come here," she said, "my daughter told me that we are abroad, don't worry sir, cook and eat". Sita said that no matter how much she saw/understood without children, it would not be fun. "I have a daughter, my son-in-law also lives in Kathmandu," she said, "we are old, we are old, we feel weak and needy." 'The rules in Australia are strict, they follow the same time,' she said, 'It is very easy in Nepal, all the children living here do not go abroad.' She said .

Butwal-13 Santoshi Bhusal from Belbas went to America after getting DV. It was only one year of marriage. She went to America after DV . She said that she came to Nepal only once in the 10 years she went to America. She has not been able to celebrate any festival with her parents and other family members. "After going abroad, the rank here is shocking," she said. She said that there is no reason to leave her husband in the midst of such busyness. She said that since 10 years have passed, she is taking everything in a normal way. She said that sometimes she would call her parents to America and meet them, then they would disappear.

Santoshi's mother, 59-year-old Leeladevi Bhusal, looks at the way that her daughter would have come to Nepal during the festival. She said that she felt even more anxious after seeing her daughter suffer when she went abroad. 'Elder daughter and younger son are here, my daughter and elder son are abroad,' she said, 'I can't even see my children away from my eyes, they will become old when I get old.' , Bhusal said that after buying a house, he had to pay for it, and that he would not be able to cover the expenses of four people when he came to Nepal. 'It's very sad, everyone's daughters are together, they are far away,' she said, 'no matter how sad it is, don't go out.' . When the festival comes, the memory of the daughter comes to mind. He says that in order to be happy during the festival, his daughter's marriage should be near. "Teez has been coming since 1962," she said, "My daughter has not come." Instead, she said that her daughter had called her and gone to America. Renu is starting to worry that he will forget the country and his homeland.

She said that she felt that her daughters would have come after all the mothers died. Renu narrated that when they were forced to stay abroad, their daughters had no choice but to cry for their mothers. She said that there is this pain in everyone's home as most of the children left their parents and went abroad. She told that she felt lonely after sending her daughter-in-law to her mother-in-law on Teej. Saying that the grandchildren are worried that they will not come to stay at their mother's house, she said that because foreigners do not know about Nepali festivals, her daughter will not get a holiday . She said that when her daughter calls her, she goes with happiness that she will be able to see them, not because of the fact that she was able to go abroad.

Lately, most of the Nepalese youth are abroad. Men are going on their own or are going to dependents, while women are mostly going abroad after marriage . Even if they are married or not, the village-society they live in is void if Nepalis who are far away from their birth place do not come to Nepal for the festival. Sociology teacher Basant Joshi says that Nepali parents are seeing their children abroad as a matter of pride. He said that even if the parents wish to enjoy the festival with their relatives and children, it is not fulfilled. "Going abroad cannot be seen only in a negative way," he said, "Communication is also being done through virtual mediums, but society is becoming distant." He said that exchanging joys and sorrows through technology and talking about festivals should also be considered as social customs. He says that because the festival is special for the parents who have a third daughter, it will be a disappointment to all the parents who are married girls or who have gone abroad to study. Joshi said that since the children of the society are living abroad, they have to adapt accordingly.
