Tagging @othidar (would also tag @annarcana but she already got tagged it seems!)
Last Song: "Smile" from FFXIV Dawntrail. Fantastic song, I am baffled why people hate it so much. I just wish they would release the official lyrics already because as great of a vibe as the multi-layered vocals are, I still can't figure out the lyrics.

Relationship Status: Three wonderful partners <3 Sadly we are all long distance. Sucks tbh.
Current Obsessions: FFXIV to the point I fear it is a problem.
Last Thing In My Search History: "Annapurna Interactive" because I was looking up info about the employees all deciding to simply quit. The entire company quit all at once because they're pissed at their parent company. I hope they're able to find new jobs soon!!! That's a brave freaking move and I respect the hell out of it!

Akshaya Tritiya
The Hindu lunar month of Vaisakha has an auspicious celebration known as Akshaya Tritiya that occurs on the third tithi of the brighter half (waxing moon phase). Scriptures indicate that today is a very good day for beginning anything new. In order to bring good luck and chase away the shroud of fear and morbidity from their lives, Hindus enjoy buying gold, silver, and other costly commodities and offering special prayers at home. This day is highly revered by hindu seers and astrologers since it falls under the Rohini Nakshatra, a lucky star.
Akshaya, a Sanskrit term, means "never diminishing" in English. People who worship Laxmi Narayana on this auspicious day by going completely without food benefit from endless sunlight and peace in their lives. This day is regarded as a symbol of achievement and a new beginning in Hinduism. This day, known as Sarva Siddhi Day in Hindu philosophy and culture, is suitable for performing any auspicious ceremony or activity, such as a wedding, housewarming, or buying land, a car, gold, or other precious objects. Due to planetary placement in the horoscope, if a person is unable to locate an auspicious time for their wedding throughout the year, they might fix their wedding date on Akshaya Tritiya without visiting an astrologer.
Numerous marriages are performed on this fortunate day in the Indian states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Orrisa, and Bengal on the idea that doing so prolongs married life.
Observing Akshaya Tritiya: India, a diverse nation, observes Akshaya Tritiya under several names. While the celebration is known as Akha Teej in Rajasthan and Gujarat, Akshaya Tritiya is better known in Chhattisgarh as Akti. Because the sacrifices, japas, pilgrimages, and homas carried out on this auspicious day yield greater rewards than those carried out on any other ordinary day, it is known as Akshaya Tritiya. 
According to legends from several holy texts, Lord Kubera, the God of Wealth, prayed to Goddess Lakshmi on the day of Akshay Tritiya, which resulted in a favourable downpour of wealth, money, and blessings on Him. The Hindu faith adherents adore Lord Vishnu and Goddess Laxmi on this day for this reason. Hindus worship Laxmi, Vishnu, and Ganesh in the morning after taking a bath. We present the gods with flowers, sweet candies, and basil leaves from the tulsi plant. To finish the puja, we chant mantras, perform Vrata Katha, and light the aarti. Additionally, it will have a positive impact if anyone donates money or provides food and clothing to those in need.
According to Vedic literature, reciting the mantra "Om Hreem Hreem Shreem Shreem Laxminarayanabhayam Namah" 108 times will bring good prosperity.
Legends and Meaning of Akshaya Tritiya: • Three lunar days (tithes) are considered to be the most auspicious period according to Hindu event astrology (Muhurta). One of these occasions, known as Sade-Teen (312) Muhurtas, is Akshay Tritiya. According to astrology, it is thought that the Sun and Moon are in their most exalted positions on this day. • The 'treta yuga' began on Akshaya Tritiya, according to the teachings of the Vedic scriptures, and 'Nara Narayana' also took on human form on this day. This day is customarily celebrated as Lord Parashurama's birthday. 'Parashurama', Lord Vishnu's sixth avatar, is said to have taken on human form on this day according to the Puranas.
• According to another mythology, on this day the Goddess Annapurna (Lakshmi) came from the sea and the Ganga, the world's most revered river, fell upon the planet. • Sage Vyasa began narrating the epic Mahabharata chronicle of the great Bharat war on this day, and Lord Ganesh started writing it down. Sudama, Lord Krishna's closest friend, paid Him a sincere visit on this auspicious day. Without anything to give, Sudama carried Poha (puffed rice) with him and gave it to Krishna, but he never mentioned his lack of resources, despite his intention to do so. Upon his return, Sudama discovers that the benevolent Lord Krishna has transformed his hut into a palace.
According to a story from the Mahabharata, Lord Krishna gave the Pandava queen Draupadi an Akshaya Patra while they were exiled in the wilderness. Later, food was distributed to all the hungry people in that area via Akshaya Patra. • Beginning on this day and every four months thereafter, the temple gates are opened for darshan in accordance with the 2,000-year-old custom of the sacred pilgrimage known as "Badrinath." On this day, the revered "Banke Bihari temple" in Vrindavan also opens its doors for visitors to see "Sri Vighraha," the deity's lotus feet.
• In the Indian state of Odisha, farmers begin tilling their fields, and work on the chariots for the famed Rath Yatra gets underway at the Puri temple. Most people fast on this day and honour Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. • According to the Vedic traditions, Akshay Tritiya is a very profitable day for charitable giving; taking a swim in the Ganges on this day is seen to be very auspicious. Starting a new business, as well as purchasing gold or real estate, on this day is seen to be particularly lucky.
• Hindus also think that doing the Shraadh ritual for the ancestors on this day is very lucky. In the name of the ancestors, one must provide grains such as barley, wheat, grammes, sattu, curd rice, and items made of milk. Then, he must give food and dakshina to a pandit (Hindu priest).
A significant spring event for adherents of Sanatana Dharma is Akshaya Tritiya. Akshaya is Sanskrit for unending. Because of this, the advantages of engaging in any Japa, Yagna, Pitra-Shraddha, or Daan-Punya (gift of money, food, clothing, or other items) on this day never fade and stay with that person for all time. It is believed that purchases of gold, land, and property made on Akshaya Day will never decrease and will instead increase throughout time. Akshaya Tritiya is said to be an auspicious day free from any malefic effects of planets and the ideal day to begin any auspicious ritual or activities, according to ancient literature and Vedic astrologers.

Thess vs Niche Tastes, Maybe
Sometimes I feel a little iffy about some of the video game recommendations I have. But then, a lot of the ones I’ve been playing of late are a little ... niche, I guess? It’s been awhile since I played a new AAA game, mostly because it’s been awhile since I bought one. Mostly I’ve been playing indies. Anxiety talking again, but sometimes I worry that it looks like intellectual snobbery or something, but it’s really not. I’m just looking for a good story, fun mechanics, or both. Usually both. And honestly, ‘both’ is a little hard to find in AAA games at the moment, or at least that’s what I’ve been finding. I have my limitations when it comes to mechanics, which leaves me out of a lot of the love affair the industry’s been having with Soulslikes. I’d love to play a lot of them, but the barrier to entry’s too high for me. Sad, but what’re you gonna do? As for a lot of the rest ... well, some open world games are really fun but it’s hard to get a story with any kind of urgency when you’re encouraged to spend so much time faffing about. And even then I can’t play half of them because they’re first person.
Being disabled sucks ass, seriously.
Anyway, point is that I keep rummaging through the indies, and I keep finding gems. DREDGE is the main one, but I’ve talked about that one enough. Haven’t finished it yet, but haven’t been into going through the tension main quest goals involve, and I’m more likely to try to fish up every type of fish before I go for endgame. The one I did just finish, though, is a really neat little game from Annapurna Interactive called I Am Dead.
It’s ... not as grim as it sounds, honestly.
What it is, rather than being grim and depressing, is a calm and contemplative hidden object game with a twist, focusing on what we leave behind when we’re gone, physically and otherwise. The title’s because the main character is, in point of fact, dead, and is searching the island for memories to summon various ghosts of the island on which they lived. The ‘with a twist’ part of the hidden object is ... well, because the main character’s a ghost, he’s not bound by a lot of physical laws, so you spend the game looking into things, looking at objects in cross-section to find items (and, if you’re a completionist like me, finding patterns in the cut-away cross-section to seek out Gremkins, little luck gnome things). It’s sweet and a little sad and kind of weirdly hopeful and I really did love every minute of it. I kind of stretched it out to make it last, but it’s not a very long game, so ... you know. I’ll move on to other things until I need that precise combination of sweet, sad, and hopeful again, and then it’ll get a replay after I’ve had enough time to let it feel as close to the first time as a replay can ever be.
...Or I’ll replay more or less immediately to get the other half of the achievements I missed. Either way.
Now, I was lucky enough to get it on sale, and I’m not sure I’d have got it at full price ... but honestly that’s just because the budget, y’know. I actually watched the credits, partly because they weren’t very long. Published by Annapurna Interactive, but the developers were basically, like, a half-dozen people with some outside help. It’s amazing what a small team can do, honestly. And I just love how Annapurna Interactive is willing to publish such interesting concepts. It’s a rare thing, or at least it feels that way, when most of the games that get all the press are following more or less the same mould as the last popular thing. The AAA companies are so invested in getting ALL THE MONEY that they can’t take the risk on something new. Indies aren’t bound to that, so while there are obviously going to be clunkers somewhere along the line, it’s nice to see the imagination and inventiveness that come out when your dev team’s just like, “Okay, let’s make a game and hope it makes some money”. I’m glad to have put money towards something like that, even if it was at sale price.
It’s definitely worth having on the wishlist for the next sale, is what I’m saying. It’s cute, it’s sweet, it’s clever, and it’s thoughtful.

Plotted  starter  for  @faerietael’s  David  Annapurna  . 
Tumblr media
Giving  this  whole  thing  the  green  light  had  been  like  pulling  fucking  teeth,  with  him,  anyways.  Sure,  there’s  a  few  tree  huggers  left  on  the  board  tickling  Murkoff’s  balls  just  enough  to  whisper  sweet  nothings  about  enrichment  programs  and  boosting  the  social,  emotional,  and  cognitive  growth  of  residents...and  that  was  enough  pressure  to  pull  the  trigger  on  the  Art  Program.  It  was  never  a  decision  he  felt  comfortable  with,  watching  money  dry  on  canvas.  The  program’s  been  up  and  running  for  a  month  or  so  now  so  it’s  about  time  he  got  the  invite  to  see  what  the  damage  is.  It’s  more  like  a  surprise  visit,  actually.  
                                                                                          He  invited  himself.  
Coolly,  Trager  pushes  open  the  door  to  the  makeshift  arts  and  crafts  closet,  the  fumes  of  fresh  paint  hitting  him  like  a  ton  of  bricks.  “Wooo!  That’ll  clear  your  sinuses.”  He  announces  his  presence,  sniffing.  Bleary  eyes  turn  to  gawk  in  his  direction,  each  of  the  patients  looking  either  mildly  confused  or  disturbed  by  his  crashing  the  party.  These  people  are  always  tough  to  please.  Take  take  take,  you  know.  
As  the  executive  takes  a  step  inside,  shutting  the  door  with  his  foot,  he  takes  in...the  art.  These  lunatics  look  like  they’re  painting  themselves  more  than  the  paper,  truth  be  told...and  those  few  guys  who’ve  managed  to  get  a  few  brush  strokes  in...--  “Oh!”  Richard  stops  in  his  tracks,  hands  in  his  pockets  as  he  leans  over  a  bald  man’s  shoulder,  taking  a  look  at  the  only  thing  in  the  room  that  looks  like  a  drawing  of  some  kind.  Splattered  across  the  canvas,  in  shades  of  purple  and  stark  black,  is  a  ghostly  figure.  Its  missing  some  distinct  features...eyes,  a  mouth...but  it  looks  like  something.  It  makes  the  hair  on  the  back  of  his  neck  stand  on  end.  
Tumblr media
“Nice...work.”  He  finally  says,  measuring  his  words  a  little  more  carefully  than  usual.  “Loving  the  slippers  too.  Balenciaga?”  Richard  glances  down  at  the  man’s  feet  before  moving  on,  spotting  a  guy  with  brain  function.  
“Hey,  I’m  Rick  Trager  from  upstairs.  R&D.  I  think  I’ve  seen  you  before...don’t  tell  me...”  The  executive  reaches  out,  shaking  the  orderly's  hand,  eyes  rolling  back  to  try  and  remember  the  guy’s  name.  “Daniel?”  That  seems  close.  There’s  too  many  people  down  here.  
“I  figured,  you  know  what...  the  sun  is  shining,  the  office  is  cramped,  and  the  art  program  is  on  the  checklist  so  I  swung  by.”  Trager  smiles,  turning  to  look  at  the  room  at  large  again.  “Quite  the  Kindergarten  class  you’ve  got  here.  I’d  keep  an  eye  on  Picasso,  personally.  Looks  like  a  serial  killer.  You  know  those  people  draw  fucked  up  shit  when  they’re  young,  right?  The  more  ya  know...”

Ghorepani to Poon Hill: A Short and Sweet Annapurna Tour
Tumblr media
The Annapurna region, with its breathtaking landscapes and diverse cultural experiences, is one of the most popular trekking destinations in Nepal. While the Annapurna Circuit and Annapurna Base Camp treks are famous worldwide, the Ghorepani to Poon Hill trek offers a shorter yet equally spectacular experience. Known for its panoramic Himalayan views and vibrant rhododendron forests, this trek is perfect for those seeking a memorable Annapurna trip without the time commitment of a long expedition.
Why Choose the Ghorepani to Poon Hill Trek?
If you’re new to trekking or simply short on time, the Ghorepani to Poon Hill route is an ideal way to experience the beauty of the Annapurna region. Here’s why it’s one of the best options for a quick yet impactful Annapurna trip:
Scenic Beauty: From lush green valleys to majestic snow-capped peaks, the landscape along the Ghorepani to Poon Hill route is mesmerising.
Moderate Difficulty: This trek is suitable for beginners and experienced trekkers alike. The trails are well-marked, and the elevation gain is manageable.
Short Duration: Unlike the longer Annapurna Circuit, this trek can be completed in 4-5 days, making it ideal for a short vacation or a quick getaway.
Cultural Exposure: The trail passes through traditional Gurung and Magar villages, offering insights into the local culture and lifestyle.
Stunning Sunrise Views: Poon Hill is famous for its sunrise views, where the first light of the day illuminates the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges.
Highlights of the Ghorepani to Poon Hill Trek
The Ghorepani to Poon Hill trek may be shorter than other treks in the Annapurna region, but it offers plenty of highlights to make your annapurna trip unforgettable.
Spectacular Sunrise at Poon Hill: The main attraction of this trek is undoubtedly the sunrise view from Poon Hill. Situated at 3,210 meters, Poon Hill provides a panoramic view of Annapurna South, Dhaulagiri, and Machapuchare (Fishtail) mountains. As the sun rises, the peaks are bathed in golden light, creating an awe-inspiring scene.
Rich Rhododendron Forests: During spring, the trail is blanketed with vibrant rhododendron blooms, transforming the landscape into a colourful paradise. The forests are alive with the colours of red, pink, and white rhododendrons, adding a magical touch to the trek.
Traditional Villages: The trek takes you through charming villages like Tikhedhunga, Ulleri, and Ghorepani. These villages are inhabited by the Gurung and Magar communities, who are known for their warm hospitality. You’ll have the opportunity to experience traditional Nepali culture, taste local cuisine, and interact with the villagers.
Mesmerizing Himalayan Views: From start to finish, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the Himalayan range. The Poon Hill trek offers some of the best vantage points for viewing Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, which are two of the highest peaks in the world.
Diverse Flora and Fauna: The Annapurna region is known for its biodiversity, and the Ghorepani to Poon Hill trek is no exception. In addition to rhododendrons, the trail is lined with pine, oak, and bamboo forests, and you may spot wildlife such as langur monkeys, deer, and various species of birds.
Trekking Itinerary: Ghorepani to Poon Hill
Here’s a typical itinerary for the Ghorepani to Poon Hill trek. Keep in mind that this trek can be customised to fit your schedule and preferences.
Day 1: Drive from Pokhara to Nayapul and Trek to Tikhedhunga
Distance: 9 km (approx. 3-4 hours)
Elevation: 1,480 meters
Your Annapurna trip begins with a drive from Pokhara to Nayapul. From here, the trail leads to Tikhedhunga, passing through lush forests and terraced fields. This section of the trek is relatively easy, allowing you to enjoy the scenery and get acclimated to the altitude.
Day 2: Tikhedhunga to Ghorepani
Distance: 12 km (approx. 6-7 hours)
Elevation: 2,860 meters
The trail from Tikhedhunga to Ghorepani involves a steep ascent through stone steps at Ulleri, a Magar village. The climb may be challenging, but it’s worth it for the rewarding views of the Annapurna range. You’ll arrive in Ghorepani, a popular stop among trekkers, with numerous teahouses and cosy lodges.
Day 3: Ghorepani to Poon Hill (Sunrise) and Trek to Tadapani
Distance: 11 km (approx. 6-7 hours)
Elevation of Poon Hill: 3,210 meters
Rise early to reach Poon Hill before dawn. The sunrise view is the highlight of this Annapurna trip, with stunning 360-degree vistas of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. After enjoying the sunrise, return to Ghorepani for breakfast and continue your trek to Tadapani, which offers additional scenic views.
Day 4: Tadapani to Ghandruk
Distance: 9 km (approx. 4-5 hours)
Elevation: 1,940 meters
The trek from Tadapani to Ghandruk is filled with picturesque landscapes and lush forests. Ghandruk is a beautiful Gurung village with stone-paved streets and a rich cultural heritage. You’ll have time to explore the village and learn about the Gurung culture.
Day 5: Ghandruk to Nayapul and Drive Back to Pokhara
Distance: 10 km (approx. 4-5 hours)
The final day of your trek involves a descent to Nayapul, where you’ll be picked up for the return drive to Pokhara. This concludes your short but incredible Annapurna trip, leaving you with memories of spectacular mountain views and cultural experiences.

Annapurna Ghee | Festive Season | Diwali celebration
It's a special mishti. It is even given to Lord Jagannath at the Puri temple. The consistency varies. Many cook it down further to make small borfis or any or shape out of it. I like it a bit softer and runny. The ghee makes it glorious with the beautiful caramelised nutty flavour that ultimately comes out of cooking the semolina over time. It's been a couple of years that I have been using Annapurna Cow ghee for making sweets at home and the result is always terrific. This Diwali, try out this humble mishti and cook it only with pure cow ghee like Annapurna Cow ghee. And in case you want the detailed recipe, comment 'mohonbhog' in the caption.

I just played and thoroughly enjoyed Chicory: A Colorful Adventure and also A Short Hike. Sweet cute games for a rainy day. Chicory is a decent length while A Short Hike is short lol
Couple developers I love are Amanita Design and Annapurna Interactive.
If you like escape games, Nicolet.jp and GBFinger Studio have apps that collect their little games. Often the developers have different names on apple vs android. if you are into them I can recommend quite a few.
can anyone recommend a good game that can be played on Mac? I don't have my gaming laptop with me 😔
I tend toward story-rich games with choice, and not much grinding (like Scarlet Hollow, Slay the Princess, Undertale, Disco Elysium, Doki Doki Literature Club, Inscryption, Oxenfree, Return of the Obra Dinn, etc)

"The Hearty Meal." From the Annapurna Upanishad, the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Queen of Foods.
Tumblr media
NOW we come to the most important aspect of Liberation, the liberated part:
V-3. The knower digests (whatever) food he eats – (whether it is) impure, unwholesome, defiled through contact with poison, well-cooked or stale, as though it were ‘sweet’ (i.e. a hearty meal).
V-4. The (wise) know liberation to be the renunciation of (all) attachment: non-birth results from it. Give up attachment to objects; be liberated in life, O sinless one !
V-5. Attachment is held to be the impure impressions causing reactions like joy and indignation when the objects sought after are present or absent.
V-6. Pure is the impression latent in the bodies of the liberated in life which does not lead to rebirth and is untainted by elation or depression.
V-7. O Nidagha (exertion)  ! Pains do not depress you; joys do not elate you; abandoning servitude to desires, be unattached.
It is not the thing we want to avoid, but attachment to a thing. So long as one’s experiences in life do not include overattachment, one can eat whatever one wants, have any kind of sex, or think any kind of thought so long as it does not linger and distort one’s view of the Self.
Self, however, must be  acquired through practices of complete austerity so one knows and understands Him without obstruction. Once the body, mind, intellect, and spirit acquire a view of the Self who is free of all attachments, one automatically knows how to behold Him and also live in a dynamic world
