My love affair with food started with a small hole-in-the-wall momo joint in Pokhara. It has been years since I have eaten there and the place has long since closed but whenever I think of Pokhara, my mind automatically skips past Machapuchre or the Phewa Lake and goes towards the delicious momo and the blisteringly hot soup from that place. It is just one of the many examples, along with the saccharine sweet tea from my village, chola samosa from Nepalganj, machha fry from Malekhu, of the way I remember and understand places through their food.

Your Name (Review)
Your Name (Kimi No Na Wa) was an animated film written and directed by Makoto Shinkai. Following its release in 2016, it was a huge commercial success and received widespread critical acclaim. The film tells the story of two characters who switch bodies intermittently with each other some twist and turns along the way that differs it from most stories that feature body switching. The characters are Mitsuha Miyamizu, a girl from a small rural town of Itomori who longs for a life in Tokyo, and Taki Tachibana, a high school boy living in Tokyo. This review contains spoilers for the film.
