As a child, there was Aja (grandfather) and Aji (grandmother) in the house. My father's brothers and sisters are a dozen! big family So we used to go to different places in the east to get vaccinated.

I was born in Kathmandu. However, we used to go from Dharan, Taplejung to Siliguri to get vaccinated. At that time, Dasain was really big when everyone gathered. This was 16/17 years ago . At that time, all the brothers and sisters of relatives had a special affinity. 

Now the grandfather and grandmother have passed away. Today's Dasain seems like zero-zero . I am the only son of the house . Our family is scattered in many places . Not only in Nepal, many people went to Australia, America, UK. But, just like Aja and Aji had kept all the families together, when a person passes away, it also goes with them. Now I have also grown up. After growing up, the responsibility increases . Earlier Dakshina could be tapped . Now, how do you get Dakshina when you inoculate others. 

When I remember my childhood days, I always remember waiting for my turn to take the tika . The family is big, and he is a small member of that family. I had to wait for hours even after evening to apply the vaccine. Meeting with brothers and sisters was very fun. Growing up in Kathmandu, I felt strange going east. The water didn't taste good either. Life seemed different. But, at that time, the joy of having a big family was different. Now that experience is disappearing . 

at that time was a different experience as Dakshina. Dakshina can also be found in large families. When everyone on the father's and mother's sides were vaccinated, it was 10/15 thousand. That money was a very large amount. Together with my brothers, we used to buy footballs and play games. Remote control vehicle . Dakshina used to buy similar toys that could not be bought throughout the year. Dakshina's money is not taken by her parents, she can keep it herself. In a way, as soon as Dakshina was said, it was very funny. Dakshina's money is used to buy a gun. 

I have bought not only football, but also guitars from Madal with Dakshina's money. Not so now. You have to work until the day before the vaccination. Times have changed. The festival of childhood is different when you grow up. Dasain is childhood fun. Kites could be flown, langurburja was also played very well . At that time, the kite was life. Maitidevi's house. There was an old kite shop. We bought kites from there and played a lot . When I think about it now, I think that life was different then, like a previous birth.

New clothes were available as soon as Dasain was called. At that time, mother used to take her to New Road and buy clothes. I used to tell my mother to buy new clothes not only during Dasain, but throughout the year. 

How to raise money is stressful now. Expenses are high during Dasain . While buying clothes. Must shop . Dakshina of Dasain should be separated . We all work in the house now, mom, dad and me . I have to work a little more, let's say the responsibility is a little more . Therefore, the focus is on collecting as much money as possible until the day before the vaccination. And it is enjoyed with family and friends. During Dasain, Kathmandu becomes empty and quiet. The sun is also sweet. During this time he met his friends, played the guitar and had fun. . This is how the present day is spent.
