I AM GREEDY

I am greedy. I am greedy for the golden sunsets in the never ending Terai horizons. I am greedy for the mountains that blush to crimson every evening. I cannot choose. I love the way the Buddhist prayer flags rumble the prayers for everyone. I love the ancient Hindu incantations. Tihar lights make me want to cry with joy. And Lhosar is so wonderfully joyous! Christmas makes me look forward to winter! I am greedy for all religions. I am greedy for the rivers that make the mountains reach out to the plains. I love daura suruwal, bakkhu , the clothes from the hills and the richly coloured costumes from the Terai. How can I choose when I want them all? Why should I choose when I can have them all? I am greedy. I am greedy for everything in Nepal.
