The new magical things which are being used in Nepali people's house. 

Long time back Nepal’s people  had to live a difficult life. They had to live in houses made of rocks and mud and their roofs were made of hay or tin they used too have a lot of problem during  monsoon when its raining heavily  or while  strong winds as some times their roofs would get carried away or would leak  .They used to  burn cow dung to make food , grow their own vegetables . They dint have proper  toilets and neither did they have electricity . But now there is such a drastic change as Nepali  people are getting influenced by  western cultural .As they have realized life is so much easier and comfortable to live with these things in our house.Not all the parts of Nepal but mostly people who live in Kathmandu as it’s the capital of Nepal  have or use these things in our daily basis.These things in our house  are so useful. They have made life so much better than before but it has made us lazy too. Everyone now is so dependent in these things.


This thing has the power to entertain


Firstly every house has a magical box  which  shows  colourful   moving pictures and makes  different kinds of sounds .This magical box is so powerful it can attract people to sit in front of it an entire day and  it can also  change our emotions like it can make us laugh ,cry ,sad ,angry  sing and dance .This magical box consist of everything  drama ,romance, music , horror . This magical box teaches us  both good and bad values and we should always try to only learn the good  ones .  But it does  not work every time because of the load shedding   problem in Nepal .

This thing has the power to freeze


There is a big magical  rectangle shaped thing makes us feel like we reach the north pole  It is used to store things  and prevent it  form getting spoilt . The rectangle thing is divided in two parts  . The upper part  basically freezes anything that goes inside it .No insects ever enter this thing if they do the magic freezes it . 


This thing is so power to remove dirt or stains


This magical thing has magical hand which  removes stain . When we put something inside  and add some magical powder .this magical thing it starts spinning round and round.. After the spinning thing stops whatever is inside comes out clean and dry .All mothers love this thing as now they don't have to spoil their hands or nails rubbing things .

 This thing has the power to inflame goods and makes water disappear


No person can live without this thing .It  gives a powerful red flame and a magical pot  is kept on top of it . Different kinds magical potion, ingredients  are added to the magical pot and the results fulfills every human beings stomach. Anything that goes inside the magical pot eithers gets burnt ,boiled , roasted.This magical thing should be handled with care if not might explode

 This thing has the power to  wash away .

But the most important thing which is there in all the houses is the place where we sit and give out our waste products .Which has only one button to press .And when we press it  starts raining . It  washes away all the waste products. This thing has to cleaned very properly otherwise it will give an awful smell .

What is cultural relativism ?
- I think its  a belief that all cultural views are equally valid .A society might think some thing is right and other society might think it’s wrong  but still no society can pass judgement to other society .

  1. Kelly,

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you about your blog. I liked your take on the Nacirema, you took a much more materialist perspective than many of your classmates who focused more on rituals. This was good. Like always, the photos add to you posts.

    Keep up the good work.

    Mr. V
