TEEJ: A festival that sparkles a lady from within ^_^



TEEJ: FESTIVAL OF TRUST & PRAYERS


Teej is a interesting festival celebrated by Nepali married ladies wishing for the long life of her husband and long and firm relationship between each other  until the death of them and all the other future lives to come. Teej is observed in order to cherish the marital happiness, well-being of spouse and children and purification of own body and soul of Nepali women. Teej is  the most famous festival among Nepali women which is believed to influence the long being of husband if the wife genuinely prays for his betterment on this very day.



In our country, Teej is usually celebrated every year in the month of Bhadra. Teej is hugely celebrated in Nepal. Dressed up in red sarees and red tika, bangles, women sing and dance to traditional folk songs for days. It is specially significant for married women, when they get a special invitation to visit their maternal home and feast.Following a long feast also known as Dar, the women, sit for a 24 hour long fasting , where most do not eat or even drink water. What can be more fascinating to watch than women of all age group, young and old, dance for hours in the heat , rain, without a drop of water or food for an entire day. Almost every temple on day of Teej is crowded by hundreds & thousands of women draped in red & green attires who are busy dancing the pain & patience of entire year away.

School, place where you learn to love, laugh & live

11 years ago when I first stood in front of the gate of Jagat Mandir School, I was new to the school, the classes, teachers & classmates. As the time started to flow, I slowly became close my classmates, my seniors, my juniors & teachers with whom I created millions of small little memories which are still with me.  Now as I look back in time to 11 years of my life growing from a small, innocent & immature 5 year old kid to a young, independent & reckless 16 year old girl, I see myself going through lots of ups & downs, learning from my mistakes & living my life without any stress, care freely.
