Big no to frozen food

According to her, she has not had ice cream since she came to Kathmandu from her home place, Dang. She says, “The climate is slightly different in Kathmandu. Dang is much warmer than Kathmandu. I could recover soon from the cold in Dang. But in Kathmandu it is different, frozen food items do not suit me. So, I also avoid cold drinks.”

Lazy to clean
