Do you remember your first Nepal Banda?

• Hey guys, our generation grew up in the political culture of protests, strikes and violence. Do you remember your first Bandhas? Or the political activities of last 20 years that shaped our viewpoint about politics and Nepal.

• I was in kindergarten probably LKG or may be nursery: I remember walking back home with my parents from my mamaghar as there were no vehicles. I also remember that on the radio they said couple of trolley bus and sajha bus were vandalized.
  
  I also have a memory of saying on the day of Nepal banda "Aja Nepal banda, bholi India banda, parsi America banda ani the world nai banda. Kya majja!! Sadhai bida!!" How naive was that idea? I was in grade 1 or 2.
  
  Grade 5: Rumours came, Maosits are closing down all private schools. They are coming to every school and cause physical harm. We were given a half day. Actually, all the schools in that area gave a half day or were not open on the day. As a kid, for the first time I saw that our principal was shaking.
  
  Grade 7: Hritik Roshan scandal. The roads were warzone. Going back home with my mom through the back alleys and crossing the road with burnt tyres, bricks and 100s of people shouting. Do you want a grade 7 student to be in that situation.
  
  Grade 8 and onwards: Royal massacre, student strikes in schools and so on. We know what it is.
  
  Grade 11: Iraq scandal: The darkest day in the history of religious harmony of Nepal.
  
  The list goes on guys!!!!!
