Time is not a lost commodity. But the old clocks that told the time have disappeared. Especially wristwatches. Nowadays, the batteries in the wrist watches that we wear need to be changed from time to time. In old watches, such a battery did not need to be changed. Because it had no battery. Instead, it should be given once a day. The choke switch was attached to the watch itself. Once you give it a breath, it lasts for 24 hours. Now the time to give such a breath has passed.

It was customary for the Nepali Army to fire a cannon at the small Tundikhel in Kathmandu every day at 12 noon. The sound of cannons could be heard in most areas of Kathmandu and even in Patan. As soon as the sound of the cannon was heard, people would start breathing in their watches. Now the custom of firing that cannon has also disappeared. 07 years ago during the Rana period, cannons were fired in the evening as well. At that time, the rule was that no one was allowed to leave the house after the cannon fire. 

Kathmandu is a place that has developed as a well-organized city since the Lichchavik period. Therefore, people here naturally used tools of daily use more than those of other places. With the changing times, some of the tools used at that time have changed and come into a new form, while some have disappeared and disappeared. 

Once upon a time, the residents of Kathmandu used stoves to cook food in bags (kitchens). Firewood was used for that. Salai also came to the market much later. A stove needs fire to light it. If a stove was lit in one of the houses in the village, the other houses had to take the fire to that house and light the stove. Now that stove is gone. After the stove disappeared, the firewood brothers who came to sell firewood on their backs also disappeared. After the stove came the kerosene cooking stove. Kerosene stoves disappeared after the arrival of gas stoves. Now, after the introduction of induction and ovens, the use of gas stoves is also decreasing. 

Ovens and kerosene stoves used to cook lentils, rice and vegetables in kasaudi. Now Kasaudi has disappeared from the keychain. Lan mata and pittal ghah (jugs) were used to carry water from the stream. In Bagal, the water was stored in a copper foci or a clay pot. Now, Ghah, Tyap and Fosi have disappeared after the tank was placed in Kausi. Neva: Women used to brew alcohol in their own homes for domestic purposes. Now, because alcohol has been stopped in every house, the clay pots, small fosi and hasi have also disappeared. Clay 'bhajan' was used to cook vegetables. With the advent of non-stick pans, vegetables have disappeared.

Newar women have been masters of make-up since ancient times. They used different types of cosmetics. A wooden comb was used to cut the hair, a 'Thakucha' was used to remove the matted hair which looked like a small brush. The tool used to draw hair is called 'Kakicha', the tool used to remove head lice is called 'Chwakicha'. 

Similarly, the tool used to curl the hair is called 'natucha'. 'Khunchikan' was applied to brighten the face and 'Ajha' was applied to beautify the eyes, which was made in one's own home. Now all these have disappeared from women's 'dressing table'.

Women's necklaces: necklaces, tayo-bios and headpieces were popular. It seems to be rarely used now. Hakupatasi in sarees has become the identity of Newar women. Although Hakupatasi seems to have made a comeback in recent times, other sarees such as Sinaparsi, Chhinaparsi etc. have disappeared. Unmarried girls used to wear a suruwal with huanglang all the way down. It disappeared when Kurtasuruwal came. Kathmandu is a cold place. Here, Dambarkumari Khasto, sewn with three-four layers of cloth, was used for warmth. Now when a Khasto of Dambar Kumari dies, it has become a ``ghate parahan'' which is worn by the grieving relatives at the ghat. 

My maternal grandfather used to smoke a lot. Preparing tobacco for grandfather was a tedious task. After lighting the stove for cooking, the embers burning in the stove had to be filled in the chilam (chilam). Before filling the embers, a flat iron plate is filled with tobacco and placed in a chimney. And fire is filled upon it. The chillam is then placed over a long hookah. Grandpa used to smoke tobacco by inserting a 'nokthi' into the hole of the hookah and making a crackling sound. Now, with the advent of easy cigarettes, tobacco, hookah, hookah, and hookah have all disappeared. Chuko's heat 

The iron that was used with anchors was also very popular at that time. Now that too is gone.

Wooden chests were used to store clothes and other items in homes. It was mandatory to give a chest as a dowry when a daughter was married. It was used to keep not only clothes, but also expensive jewelry. Later, when different types of drawers came into vogue, the chest disappeared. Regarding the wedding feast, it used to be the custom for the girl to carry something in her hand when going to the feast. Some used to bring materials such as steel plates, some brass plates, some sawdust, some clothes and after the feast they returned with gifts to the bride. Now, when it is customary to write 'Don't bother with things' in the banquet card, it is natural that the custom of going to the banquet with a plate in hand has disappeared.  The traditional dishes served at the

feast have also disappeared. Until 50 years ago, dishes such as Newa: Ekkhale jhol food gorma made by mixing sukuti, Khichabhyat made with a type of grass, bhuumwakwa made with sesame seeds, bhuumwakwa made with rakti have disappeared now. Newa: Some types of meat dishes like Kimla, Tupala, Talatula, Marsyala, Hulla, Kalakhuna La, Khunala, Dulapila, Khwapula, Sasala, Sapu Panla, Chahgulila, Kachula, Chilla, Galapala (Jyapu Panch, Bhabo, N. No. 1121) have disappeared. 

 Neva: In the community, professions were divided according to caste. Now some of those professions have disappeared, while others are practicing Zenten. Newa: The occupation of Pun (painter) caste in the society is painting. Newa: There are various kinds of images required in the ritual culture, such as images of cows in Gaijatra, images of Lakshmi in Lakshmi Puja, images of snakes in Nag Panchami, marriage, Ihi, Vratbandha, Janko  It is believed that the pictures used in rituals such as

should be written by the hand of a painter. Because the hands of Pun (painter) are considered sacred. With the advent of the printing machine, this ritual has disappeared except occasionally. Printing of different types of butta on cloth was done by the Khippa (dye) caste of Newa society. Now it is completely gone. Kaskakar used to work with brass, Napit used to cut hair and nails, now this profession has also disappeared. 

At present, Newa: The practice of having only one or two children is increasing in the society. Many have started to settle for just one child. Those who have only one child, the other child of that only child will not recognize the relationship like uncle-aunt, fupu-fupazu. So tomorrow even the word of kinship will disappear as it has already happened. As even now the parents of 'Daddy-Mummy' are called 'Baa' and 'Maa' because the words of kinship like Bajya/Aja-Aji (grandfather, grandmother) have reached the point of extinction. 

Kathmandu Valley is known as the city of culture and heritage. Now, some of the popular cultures here have disappeared. It is mentioned in the records about that culture and pilgrimage, but even now it cannot be found in practice. As some Jatra names are mentioned in some records of the Northern Malla period. The record of Pratap Malla mentions 'Saptapuri Jatra'. This pilgrimage has now disappeared. There is a mention of 'Neguliatra' in the records of Vishwarupa of Hanumandho of Pratap Malla. Similarly, 'Sardma Yatra' is written in some records. One of the texts mentions 'O Yatra'. Apart from these, Pashupati Yatra, Barah Yatra and Harishankari Yatra have also disappeared now (Religious History of Nepal, Jagdishchandra Regmi, 2030, Nepal Government Prajna Pratishthan).
