Tihar update

Well I have recieved more information on the Nepali festival of Tihar. This from a loyal reader:

"Bhai puja" is where sisters have to puja their brothers. Of course, they get compensation for this (each sis got i think 300 bucks from me while all I got was prayers and bananas).

(Puja means worship. Get your minds out of the gutter!)

Bananas are nothing to be scoffed at. They are literally worth their weight in gold. Or rupees. Or dollars.
