Preventing Dehydration
Summer is a fun season for many reasons. The days are longer, the weather is clearer and there are more options for outdoor activities. But, if we are not careful, it can also be a season that wreaks havoc on our health.

Today’s Photos, Tomorrow’s Records
Did you take a photo recently? Was it on your phone or a camera? What was it of – yourself, your friends, strangers, places or things? Was it good? Hopefully, it was. Will you post it online? Perhaps. Then what? Deletin
Why do the Lokeshwors have different colours?
The Rato Machhindranath Jatra began in Lalitpur on Monday. It began around a month after the Seto Machhindranath Jatra concluded in Kathmandu. The two deities share many similarities. As the name suggests, they are both worshipped as Machhindranaths and also as Lokeshwors (gods who care for the entire universe). They are taken around their respective cities in similar-

Youths taking ‘staycations’ instead of vacations
Shalini Budhathoki gets two weeks off from work at the end of every Nepali calendar year. This is a mandatory leave her office provides to all its employees to enhance their well-being and give them a break from their schedule, she said. And while some of her colleagues use the time to travel and enjoy, she uses it to unwind at home. “And it’s not just me,” the 27-year-old said. “Many co-workers of my generation choose to stay relaxed at home and do as little travelling as possible.”
