Sharing One of My Favourite Nepal Bhasa Songs

I hope you all enjoy listening to Makha Twa Ya Gwa, one of the popular and cherished songs in the Nepal Bhasa (Newar) community. This song beautifully captures the essence of Newar culture and tradition, showcasing the depth of the language and the emotions tied to it.

The song is filled with poetic lyrics that speak to the heart and soul, and it has a timeless quality that resonates with listeners of all ages. The rich, melodic tunes paired with the thoughtful lyrics make it a standout in Nepal Bhasa music.

The song is performed by the talented Roj Man Maharjan and Nisha Deshar, whose voice and artistry bring the song to life. With their unique style and powerful delivery, they have made a significant impact on Nepal Bhasa music and have helped keep the tradition alive for newer generations.

Whether you’re a fan of Nepal Bhasa music or are new to it, Makha Twa Ya Gwa is a song you’ll definitely want to listen to. The beauty of the song, paired with its cultural significance, makes it one of my all-time favourites.

Enjoy, and let the melody transport you to the heart of Newar culture! Here’s the translation of the song in Nepali, so you can appreciate the meaning behind the beautiful words:

Rhyme times

Now that my parents have left, I am left with Chhori all day five days a week. I didn’t know how hard would be to entertain a baby every day. So I have decided to take her out and about more often.

I can’t believe how happy she becomes when we go out. She just looks around and her eyes light up. It is a great pleasure to see her so happy. Also when we are out, she doesn’t seem to need to eat or change nappy as often.

Anyway our local council does rhyme times for kids every Monday and I have started to take Chhori there and I am so glad I did. She loves it and I now wish I had gone earlier.

The rhyme times is for 30 minutes. During that time, we sing and act out the rhymes, and share great books for babies. During sessions the parents, grandparents and carers sit with their child and the library staff guides us through a selection of songs and rhymes. It’s noisy, fun and a wonderful chance to learn some new songs. We sing each song a few times so that we can all learn the words.

The rhymes and songs are great and Chhori seems to enjoy them a lot. After the rhymes, they take all the toys out and kids can have fun. Chhori is so excited to see all the new toys. She loves all the attention she gets from other kids too.

Please share some tips and tricks to entertain a baby. Chhori seems to lose interest in anything after a few minutes.

Take care everyone and will share more motherhood stories soon.
