I also speak Newari coz most of my neighbors and friends are newars. I love Newari culture, food and people. I am really worried that I am not getting your regular post in my email. 😦 I tried my best to find out but I can’t . Any idea ?
I have that problem sometimes. If you unfollow and follow again, it might solve the problem, please try.

I am sorry to know about the internet situation. I am following your blog regularly 🙂
